Encouraged by President Obama’s and Secretary Clinton’s prostrations before the howling mob, the U.N.’s No. 2 honcho explains free speech:
Free speech is a “gift given to us by the [Universal] Declaration of Human Rights,” said Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations Jan Eliasson during a press conference on October 2nd at UN headquarters in New York. It is “a privilege,” Eliasson said, “that we have, which in my view involves also the need for respect, the need to avoid provocations.”
Free speech is a gift given to us in 1948 by U.N. officials? Who knew?

I will always be grateful to the U.N. for the Magna Carta, too.

The U.N. also leaves money under children’s pillows in exchange for their teeth. It’s to start a new entitlement program for people with Obamaphones.

Dear UN,
Thank you for the nice gift, Un. It was very nice of you to give me this free speech. But I don’t think I really need a free speech, and none of my friends wants one either. So you can have it back. Maybe you can give it to some less fortunate person who needs a free speech.
Sincerely yours,
JW (F the UN) M

The Canadian Human Rights Commission needs to seriously evaluate Steyn’s every column. It sounds like he’s anti-communism, or worse, anti socialist lifetime pension, dacha provided bureaucrat.

If we’re lucky enough to rid ourselves of “the occupant” and his minions, we really should start working on getting rid of the UN or at least getting the hell out of it! Those bastards are more stupid and ignorant than illiterate middle ages peasants.

@Tom Mannis,
Was the UN around when the MAGNA CARTA was signed,
Where does the MAGNA CARTA reside,
Where was it signed ( country ).
Who owns the MAGNA CARTA.
