The Obama administration has, once again, complained to the United Nations about alleged American human rights violations–and boasted about liberal policies like Obamacare as the solution.
The State Department report, released Monday as part of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council, reads less like an accounting of human rights issues and more like the platform of the Democratic Party–and invites the world to judge America harshly.
The so-called “human rights” problems cited in the report include:
Police brutality, including the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri
Discrimination against Muslims who want to build or expand mosques
Voter identification laws in Texas and elsewhere
Predatory lending in home mortgages
Suspension of black children in schools
Women earning “78 cents on the dollar” (a false statistic)
In addition, the report boasts of progress in the following areas:
Promoting same-sex marriage
Fighting discrimination against transgender children in school
Executive action on illegal immigration
Helping illegal alien children who cross the border
Protecting privacy rights against government surveillance
Trying to close the Guantánamo Bay prison for terror detainees
Revoking “torture” memos for interrogating terrorists
Passing Obamacare
Expanding food stamps
Regulating “carbon pollution” to fight climate change
