Elie’s Constitutional comments miss, or avoid, that point. It is not a draft for a legal bill it is an expression of wishes or expectations. The ‘we’ it refers to would be those who add their signature to the motion.

‘We’ do not need laws to protect freedom we need to preclude laws that curtail it.

Don’t create better guns before making your hunters better.

I’m not American either and don’t think that everyone in the world should be expected to embrace the country’s values.

My comment is directed instead at the very spotty track record of the UN Human Rights Council and its even more ghastly predecessor, the Human Rights Commission. The members of these bodies have included hideous tyrannies like Zimbabwe and Libya. The Council has also had an obsessive fixation with perceived abuses in the US and Israel and disregarded the systemic human rights violations of China, Russia and others. Do you really want to put this Council in charge of the Internet? (or anything else for that matter..)

Think of it this way, Americanism is defined by wikipedia as: “Americanism is an ideology or belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America or to its flag, traditions, customs, culture, symbols, institutions, or form of government.”

Now why on earch would the UN, supposedly a world council, promote Americanism? Not everyone in the world is American, not everyone in the world wants the American way of life. And I speak as a citizen of a western country. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes other countries dislike America; anything that isn’t loyality to America and it’s beliefs is considered “anti-American”, rather than on it’s values as a system of it’s own. It’s not like we sit here saying “Shit I really hate America, let’s do everything that they don’t like.”
