It is mind-boggling, really, why Republicans so desperately wanted a human rights violation report released that features human rights violations they are guilty of perpetuating on Americans. Yes, they certainly want a reason to criticize nations like Iran and Cuba, but they also are well aware that the entire world knows that those nations are guilty of the same violations Republicans support, and argue to continue unabated, against people of color, women, gays, and peaceful protestors. The rest of the world, including Iran and Cuba, are aware that Republicans have championed legislation “limiting citizens’ ability to change the government through free and fair elections” at the behest of the Koch brothers and their legislative arm the American Legislative Exchange Council.
America can
hardly criticize any nation’s human rights violations when it is guilty
of the same violations even if they are not “as violent or severe;”
particularly when this ‘exceptional nation’ is supposed to be a human
rights leader. It is true that most Americans are appalled when they
learn their fellow citizens are victims of human rights violations, and
if they were not so entrenched in the idea that America is a human
rights leader, they may pay heed to who is responsible for perpetuating
this exceptional nation’s human rights violations against their fellow
citizens; hypocritical Republicans.
