Libertarian Radical
For a nation that has long prided itself as being the champion of human rights throughout the world, why would a US government sign The Universal Declaration of Human Rights that it has no intention of keeping?

Article 23(4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests
For a nation founded on a union of states, the desre of US citizens to form/join trade unions in order to protect their self interests would seem to be a pretty basic right in 2011.
For a nation that has long prided itself as being the champion of human rights throughout the world, why would a US government sign "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and then undermine its international credibility by allowing individual states to violate them within its own borders?

Because the UN is a pointless and ineffectual political body that does a great deal of meaningless things for the neverending political quest to justify a reason to Get Money From Us.
If it were really serious about Human Rights, Libya NEVER would have been elected to the Human Rights Council.

Joining A Union =/= having Collective Bargaining Rights.
There's a difference. Learn it.
With all due respect, it was the UN Resolution concerning the presence of WMD that the Bush Administration used as its "trump card" to legally justify its invasion of Iraq.
It was also a UN Resolution that created the state of Israel so the US is not adverse to recognizing the legitimacy of the UN when it happens to suit her purpose.
As for removing those states, like Lybia, with bad human rights records, America is notorious for supporting dictatorships whose human rights records are somewhat less than "squeeky clean" and training their military how to conducting interrogations on their own citizens - using unsavory methods.

Are you equating Public Employee Unions with SADDAM HUSSEIN?
Cuz that's probably an unintentionally apt comparison.

I really can't believe it...Really.
This tactic is so lowdown and slimy that I believed that just one of the Fabian/progressive corps could've seen it as beyond the pale.
Instead, I witnessed someone whom I kinda-sorta respected falling in line with the goon squad....Claiming this passive-aggressive compulsion as capitalistic, no less.
**** me...It's over....Might as well start stocking up on ammo and coin.

Some of the Lefties are noticing the tendency. One of them calls it "Lockstep Liberalism".
Some people have asked why I’ve been writing about liberal bias so much lately. The short answer: self-defense. I’ve had the jarring experience of being attacked for what I consider honest intellectual curiosity.
My first taste of ‘lockstep liberalism’ came when I was kicked off DailyKos for saying it seemed to me that John Edwards might have had an affair. I didn’t act like it was the worst thing in the world or the height of immorality; I just thought it seemed suspicious when the National Enquirer reporters caught him at the Beverly Hilton. For the sin of discussing my suspicions. I was banned from DKos and I still am, after being viciously hammered for days. And when Edwards admitted to the affair – I was still banned. If you want more details on that story, it’s here from an L.A. Times article....

How do you account for those who stand their ground who will not wilt to threats?nice place you got here.
i'd hate to see anything happen to it.
Poor comparison. More like:
Nice place you got here.
I'd hate to see people decide not to shop here anymore because you don't support them.
I know...doesn't quite have the threat factor.
In order for a boycott to work, the majority of people in a given market would have to be on the side of those issuing the boycott.
Boycotts rarely work and in many cases bring about backlash against the ones organizing said boycott.
Unions are weak and getting weaker. They can bluster all they wish. Their threats are mere mosquito bites.
If a union thug walked into my place and told me "I'd hate to see people decide not to shop here anymore because you don't support them."....My response would be, "go **** yourself. I know all the people you know. And they like me far more than they like you."

I could kind of understand their fear of anyone with medium brown skin after 9/11, but being scared to death of teachers?
I hope that the posters on this thread don't have their posts read by a woman they're courting.
