Last year there was justifiable outrage on conservative blogs for Barack Obama's pathetic apologies to the Muslim world for alleged U.S. crimes and misdemeanors. Obviously, none of those apologies have resulted in tangible benefits to the U.S. in that region as Iranian deception and intransigence over their nuclear weapons program demonstrates. Naturally, it is hard for leftist dimwits who hate the United States, or any other country they live in, to learn from their mistakes and our "Commander-in-Chief" is such an individual and his administration of foreign policy dunces has just demonstrated why.
Apparently, Arizona's sensible immigration law against illegal aliens is attracting outrage from a motley assortment of leftist multiculturalist meatheads who are horrified that any governmental entity would seek to control its borders. During a recent meeting with Chinese officials, a guilt ridden State Dept. policymaker Michael Posner brought up Arizona's law as a topic of discussion without Chinese prompting. It now appears that China has become the newest supporter of illegal immigration to the U.S. and is accusing the U.S. of "human rights violations." We live in an age where hypocrisy is especially prevalent in our globalized 24/7 news cycle, but this Chinese charge of alleged U.S. human rights malfeasance absolutely takes the cake for international diplomatic hypocrisy.
This charge comes from a governmental regime that is one of the world's worst human rights violators. This regime regularly imprisons Christians, practitioners of Falun Gong, Tibetans, Uighurs, supporters of Taiwanese independence, murders unborn children, and others with the audacity to criticize the purportedly omniscient wisdom of the ruling Communist Party. The Chinese government has set up a system of prison camps, called laogai, that rivals the former Soviet Union's gulag archipelago. This same regime has the blood of tens of millions of individuals on its hands thanks to the famines caused by the disastrous Great Leap Forward of the late 1950's and early 1960's, the "Cultural Revolution" a few years later, its support for Cambodia's genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970's, the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, a botched war with Vietnam in 1979, and numerous other incidents. In quantitative terms of the number of deaths it has caused, the Chinese Communist regime is only rivaled by the former Soviet Union and makes the Nazis look like amateurs when it comes to mass murder. This same regime and its military are actively seeking to increase their power and challenge the U.S. for maritime supremacy in the western Pacific and using their growing prosperity (fueled by the U.S. and other countries consumers) to expand their geopolitical influence in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
If we had a competent President and Secretary of State, they would fire this idiotic official Posner and tell China that U.S. domestic laws are none of China's business. The Chinese respond to criticisms of their human rights policies by telling their critics that they are "internal matters" and none of their business. We need to respond like this in the bluntest possible language when China or any other country (particularly one with a hideous human rights record) has the temerity to criticize our domestic policymaking. Could you imagine what would happen to someone who would try to enter China illegally? Imprisonment under harsh conditions and without due process or death would be the inevitable result.
Sadly, the Obama-Clinton State Dept. and the highest levels of the executive branch are now controlled by self-hating dimwits who want to wail and gnash their teeth for imagined U.S. sins instead of forcefully and persuasively promoting and defending U.S. interests, freedoms, and values to the international community. This is what you get when you entrust leftist imbeciles with control of U.S. foreign policy.
