U.S. Won’t Vote Against Nazis…For a Very Good Reason
Posted On 16 Nov 2017
Sometimes as the leaders of the free world, the United States has to make decisions that appear, at first glance, to be counter to everything we believe in as a country.
Such is perhaps the case with an upcoming vote at the United Nations, where the U.S. has announced that it will not support a resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism. What would seem to be a no-brainer decision on the part of the Trump administration – why would the U.S. want to be seen supporting a fascist ideology that could have easily taken over Europe if not for our intervention? – is, instead, a tough decision based on an even more important fundamental value: The support of free speech.
The resolution, introduced by Russia, calls on all UN member nations to ban speech from pro-Nazi organizations and to implement other liberty-crushing regulations that will curtail the rights of the people to assemble and express themselves. This is why the U.S. cannot and will not be a party to this vote – if there is anything more important than opposing the hateful, twisted views of the Nazis, then it is to oppose the very sort of fascist techniques that they employed in their dark reign over Germany. Thanks to a little thing called the First Amendment, Americans have the right to express any views they wish – even if the vast majority of their fellow countrymen fund them abhorrent. It’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that this is one of the major reasons why our country is the greatest cauldron of freedom the world has ever seen.
This isn’t the first time that the U.S. has voted against this resolution, of course. It comes up every year, and the U.S. always votes against it with very little publicity. The resolution passes overwhelmingly, and most of our European allies either vote for it or abstain from the vote altogether. It is relatively meaningless in the first place, but it is attracting special attention this year for one obvious reason: Donald Trump.
Trump has been assailed by his critics as some kind of secret Nazi – a would-be dictator who traffics in white supremacy and refuses to condemn hate crimes against minorities. Never mind the fact that none of this bears any relation to the truth; it has become a meme in LeftyWorld, so his critics will undoubtedly use this vote as just another bit of “evidence” that Trump is the second coming of Hitler.
For that reason, reports the Associated Press, the U.S. is expected to go out of its way to make sure our country condemns Nazism in clear terms.
“U.S. officials are working overtime this year to try to explain that no, America doesn’t support pro-Nazi speech — but can’t vote for a resolution that calls for outlawing it, either,” the AP reports.
I wonder what the Democrats would say if Trump was for the ban on nazi talk. Heck the man can’t even take a drink of water without them making him into a traitor to the country cause the water was not from America.
There is no guarantee that the water was imported as we export a lot of water , anybody’s label could be put on it . The media is getting pretty sick coming up with chickenshit stuff .
They, the left scream so much to cover up their lies and hate towards America.
ANTIFA, BLM and other groups that riot,pillage and insite violence.
That’s the traitors of this country.
They hide behind calling 70 million Americans racist, homophobic, islamophoboa and on and on.
It’s all they got.
It’s like the boy who cried wolf over and over again.
Sickening!!
COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA TELL A LIE TIME AFTER TIME KEEP TELLING THE LIE AND SOME WILL BELIEVE IT THEY KEEP TELLING THE RUSSIAN LIE !
The Democrats are garbage they are all in SOROS’s pocket along with Hillary and Obama
Totally Accurate call, Randi. you posted this two weeks ago, and yesterday proves you hit the bull’s eye!!
I applaud you.
There is flip side to that ….why the media printed the Dems. mind control version. Apparently the water bottle company’s name on that bottle of water is complicit in the child trafficking ring that killery has suspected evolvement in….amongst other ‘established’ politicians and notables. Was a message from President Trump of what’s to come and to whom it’s coming for. Psychological warfare if you will. Those generals he’s surrounded himself with were trained in it….
What ever happened to Bill and Hillary’s legal problems, they just keep making more money for Bill’s retirement fund,the price of hookers has gone up.
The Trump administration should simply say that it is following the example of many prior administrations.
yep.
your right.
I loathe the UN more and more each day, but not nearly as much as I loathe our media and the three ring circus I know they will make out of this.
UN is a horrible organization, infrequently doing something good. Its pom and ceremony, making available to rich countries, the ability to by friends for votes. Only good thing, is the US has a veto, and uses it for its own welfare, protecting real friends, and sometimes actually preserving peace. John Bolton was the best UN ambassador US ever had in the UN. Nikki Hailey is a quick under study, and likely be his equal.
Another organization sponsored by US I don’t trust is Voice Of America. I caught and taped them in their “English lessons” many years ago, accusing White Americans of being racists, and bigots. I called my leftist congressman, Emailed, and sent a copy registered mail, return receipt requested. Knowing the blow back I could cause if he didn’t, stop it, it stopped 3 days later. Radio Free Asia Chinese Service, never an issue. They really do hate Communists and dictators
Da fuck is pom?
Learn the, proper use, of, comma’s.
“pomp”…as in “a splendid display or celebration; a magnificent show or ceremony.”
Don’t be blinded by a few, harmless, misplaced, punctuation marks.
Quit being such a pompous DOUCHE!
I know what ‘pomp’ is.
It is not my lack of reading comprehension, just your inability to spell.
“UN is a horrible organization, infrequently doing something good. Its pom and ceremony”
Does that look/sound familiar? Douche….
I agree about John Bolton as the best U.N. Ambassador we’ve ever had…but, I disagree with you on Nikki Haley…she’s “okay”…but she had nothing but criticism of candidate Trump, and even gave him “the finger” once….
She’s playing the role President Trump wants right now…but, I have a feeling she’s positioning herself to be the RNC candidate in the future, and I’m afraid she’s got the “hidden character” of a Chief Justice John Roberts…untrustworthy when it really counts.
Trump said the United nations is nothing but a social gathering.
A social gathering that’s pushing socialism and globalism. I’m against both and pro Trump who shares my sentiments.
If I remember correctly, at one point he said it was nothing but a ‘boy’s club’!! ‘Our’ membership is costing us plenty and for what??
For nothing we need ! Exit the UN and tell them to get the hell out of the USA.
Then tow and chop all those cars they drive around and park illegally and throw away the tickets on. Might cover the loss of the tickets they never pay.
The name is a violation of the Truth in Labeling laws. The UN is really the IADT, the International Association of Dictators and Tyrants.
Nuke the UN.
LOL….I’m diggin’ it, Ursus!
If Trump agreed to the ban, Antifa would be forbidden to talk or demonstrate. Antifa are the reincarnation of Nazi methods. In regards to the water, those people need a life. I Just hope it doesn’t make Trump sick.
If Trump agreed to this, Antifa would not be able to talk or demonstrate. Antifa are a reincarnation of the Nazis. In regard to the water, that’s just plain silly. I just hope it doesn’t make him sick.
EVERYONE must have the right to speak what they believe! Sites such as this have no business interfering with that right.
Not quite right Jones. You don’t have the right to make false accusations with out consequences. You are another person that has no idea what freedom of speech means.
I agree with both the right to speak and that sites such as these etc… However, you should cite in what way this site is interfering with that right. I don’t see it. And, of course, the freedom to say whatever you please doesn’t entail the freedom from consequences for what you have said.
Another sign of the times! Stupidity reigns! So sad!
Anyone criticizing Trump for not supporting the ban has no idea what the 1st Amendment is about, Liberals are opposed to both the 1st and 2nd Amendment.
Free speech is important. You don’t know who a NAZI is until he starts talking. The Socialists left in America is fond of calling conservatives “NAZI’s”, but it’s when they start talking that you realize that they are the NAZI’s.
You’re right!! We suspect they aren’t ‘too bright’ but, then, they open their mouth and remove all doubt!! Same with the ones screaming ‘Fascist’, then providing a fine example of same!!
Spacious East River view condominiums, located in former UN Headquarters, with available occupancy by late summer of 2018!
I,m not an expert on Hitler, but I heard that he was gung-ho for clean air. He initiated air pollution controls in the German industries. Trump does not seem very keen to follow this aspect of naziism. If present day glorifiers of Naziism have a compelling message I have not heard it. The only message I get from the pro-Nazi-ites is the white man’s “right” to humiliate black people and gays or any one else they ‘choose’ to consider unworthy. The messages I have gotten from the present day Nazi-ites is puerile – intellectually stifling – self-suffocating.
it’s everyone’s RIGHT TO HUMILIATE QUEERS, THEIR EVIL.
I DIDN’T COME UP WITH THAT VIEW, IT’S GOD’S.
“As ye judge so shall you be judged.” I think this also comes from GOD – does it not? How is humiliating ‘certain people’ a worthwhile state of mind for humankind?
i don’t have to judge them.
THEY JUDGE THEMSELVES BY THEIR SICK AND EVIL PRACTICES.
AND GOD JUDGES THEM AS WELL
Recently there was one (or two?) elected officials in
Ohio who ran on an anti-LGBT agenda who were subsequently caught in same-sex
relations. What choice did those two politicians
have but to be hypocritical if they wanted the votes of the right-wing. – The churches that raise their children to view
gays only negatively force them into hypocrisy when some of those children
begin to recognize in themselves an orientation not tolerated by all the people
they know and love. If one believes that
God judges gays negatively one could pray that God helps the gays recognize the
‘judgement they put upon themselves’ – or one can throw the first stone.
I think it would be better to focus our anger where it might improve the social
environment. Many fossil fuel activities
are threatening to pollute our water, for instance. Even people on (or ‘in’) the ‘right’ need
good water to drink.
so you’re trying to equate SIN WITH POLLUTION LOL.
do you really understand how DUMB that sounds.
I do not know what “LOL” means, so I don’t know how dumb I sound.
As I understand it, none of us are free of sin. Do not judge, for s you judge so shall you be judged” (free translation). We are to love our neighbor (and our enemy!)
as ourselves! There is nothing in theworld more difficult to do than “not to pass judgment” even for a minute – and
love (every) neighbor all the time. I do
not think that calling water pollution a sin would bring about clean
water. I think those who pollute water
(by adding toxic chemicals to water and leaving that toxic water underground
forever, where the toxic water can pollute good water) fall under the “they
know not what they do” category. They
think they are making a living for their family, that we need the oil for our
cars, etc., the military – they probably do not even wonder if we have ‘enough’
water to continue toxifying it by truckloads and leaving it dumped underground –
nor that leaving it dumped underground risks contamination of even more water. But I think we need good water more than we
need oil, especially now when we have fossil free methods of creating the
energy we need. As I understand it, most
of the water aquifers in the U.S. are being depleted of water (by humans, for
drinking, agriculture, etc.) at a rate higher than nature can restore it – in other words we are running out of
it. I think most people do not know
about our water situation and that fracking is adding to the problem.
I leave it up to you to decide which is more sinful – to try
to stop the water pollution – or do nothing about it.

HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
Now it’s oilmen who say fracking could harm groundwater
Mike Soraghan, E&E News reporter Energywire: Wednesday, November 1, 2017
lol. means LAUGHING OUT LOUD.
i will just answer with this.
MAN is his WORST ENEMY.
Fracking uses water with salt in it, no Chemicals, So it does none of the things you just touted. But it can cause changes in the flow of underground water, this needs to be carefully evaluated prior to fracking.
I really would like to know where you got your misinformation so I can tell them as well. Now Coal can be dirty, unless it is low sulfur coal. Sulfur Coal is a bad thing to burn for power, thus has been banned.
Here is a reference:
http://fracfocus.org/chemical-use/what-chemicals-are-used
Frac Focus
Gives an alphabetical listing of the most of the
chemicals used in the fracking process (and other information).
[the DVD “Gasland” made in 2010 shows a scene where an elected official elicited testimony from a group of “fracking” officials as to the chemicals used in the fracking process] – I am not aware of any ‘frackers’ who deny toxic chemicals are used in the fracking process. Please inform whoever told you that ‘no chemicals are used’ so that he or she will know also. You are right about SALT being used – which by itself would make a city’s water supply (or any body of water) undrinkable. Multiple truckloads of good water are used in the fracking process – the water is mixed with toxic chemicals and salt – the water, after having the chemicals and salt added to it, is ‘dead’ water in the sense that no use can be made of it as it is TOXIC – some of the water remains at the bottom of the fracking well bore – about 2/3 of the water is placed underground in ‘containers’ sometimes composed of ‘porous sandstone’ or other natural material that is considered to be ‘safe’. You have probably heard about the earthquakes in Oklahoma caused by the interaction of the toxic ‘produced water’ (the name used by the frackers) with whatever geological structures exist where the water accumulates.
The problem is, the geologists did not know (did not even suspect) that the ‘produced water’ would produce earthquakes. The problem is the geologists do not know how the accumulation of ‘produced water’ will behave over time. They assume the toxic water will simply stay there and behave itself – but the water will ‘migrate’
depending upon the structure of the ‘container’ which cannot be known in detail. You say “…But it (salt in the
water) can cause changes in the flow of underground water, this needs to be carefully evaluated prior to fracking.” The problem is there is no way to evaluate how the water will behave. Frackers are putting huge amounts of toxic water underground in geological conditions that have been undisturbed for millennia (geological ages) – in some places the water is going to migrate where no one wants it – like into our good water supply.
The reference I gave (in the email you are responding to)
gives a picture of how the fracking ‘produced water’ is behaving even ON THE SURFACE of the ground in Oklahoma (in the area of Oklahoma where the
earthquakes did not occur – different effects in different places). Here is the reference again:

Keeeee—RIST!….put down the lying liberal democrat crack pipe….while you still have a few brain cells lett, niick.
I find it quite ironic that Russia of all countries would introduce such a resolution, being that its oligarchy rather closely resembles the fascist state.
THE RUSSIANS HAVE THE DEMOCRATS JUST WHERE THEY WANT THEM DRINKING THE KOOLAID
You mean their puppet Trump exactly where they want him
What are you going to say when it’s Hillary that has been colluding with the Russians? She is the one they wanted and expected to win!!
Yeah, of course! That’s why they hacked into her e-mails & published them (through Wikileaks) for all to see & met with Trump campaign operatives to strategize against her. Just what anyone would do if they wanted a certain candidate to win!
By the way, if they can catch Hillary doing anything illegal, I’m more than happy that she get her just punishment. The corporate & political elite keep getting away with some really nasty stuff, & I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s been involved in some nefarious doings. Trump, Clinton, etc. should all be punished for their crimes.

Do you believe in the Constitution? Doubt it.
The Russians call anyone that opposes them Nazi’s.
Many people under Russian control have been forceibly relocated, starved, murdered and marginalized.
They are not Nazi’s!
Trump knows Nazis are “good people” who have come to love Russians like he does and hate black people like he does.
Saw your picture – Enough Said!!
My mother was 20years old when Nazis inwate Norway they were scared to death and she saw many of her school mates killed by those animals
Freedom of speech, regardless of how offensive, they are operatives of the Democrat-Communist-Islamic Terrorist Organization. If not believed ask obama the muslim swine.
Man – the US imported nazi’s after the war – especially the ones that committed the worst crimes and ONLY because they were a benefit…..
Many more has died and still dying from communism than from fascism. So if anything communism and socialism for that matter should be the discussion instead of fascism which by the way, no country is currently practicing.
Free speech is free speech. Let the Nazis speak and use your own free speech to condemn them. Get it. If you let the government interfere with free speech, it establishes a danger to us all.
The Russian introduced that bill, they are a bunch of socialist.
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” – Falsely attributed to Voltaire, but representative of his philosophy nonetheless. A significant problem with censorship is that you don’t learn the positions held by your domestic enemies. Censorship does benefit radical maniacs as it inhibits their ability to make public jackasses of themselves.
I love it. Keep pissing the libturds off. Maybe they will kill themselves by the millions…
In 1960 Israeli cough a Nazi named Adolf Eichman he was a Jew turned Nazi and helped Hitler kill hundred of Jew and non Jews they tried him in Israel and hung him. Now there is another bastard named SOROS who also were born a Jew and turned Nazi they better get rid of this monster between him and Obama they both equally guilty of this time trying to destroy this country
