unit731 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 "Fox News likes to call itself “fair and balanced.†Key words: “call itself.†The latest blunder for the cable news ratings leader is rooted in the new revelation that founder and chair Roger Ailes sent an emissary — Fox’s national security analyst K.T. McFarland — to offer General David Petraeus political advice and tell The General that he’d be willing to quit Fox to run his presidential campaign."

unit731 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Blue helmeted UN police could have been patrolling the local churches, schools, and public buildings. Your doorbell rings. Blue helmeted UN police checking to see if your abode is handicapped accessible. "Opposition Republicans in the U.S. Senate have blocked passage of a United Nations treaty protecting people with disabilities from discrimination. Most lawmakers voted in favor of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Tuesday. But a two-thirds' majority was required for passage, and the final was five votes short . The treaty failed despite a personal appeal by former Republican senator Robert Dole, who lost the use of his right arm when he was severely wounded in World War II. The U.N. treaty is modeled after U.S. law that gives disabled people equal rights when it comes to employment and other government benefits. But opponents said the treaty would give priority to U.N. rules and bureaucracy over U.S. laws. Supporters disputed that argument and said passage was the moral thing to do. The White House said it is disappointed at the Senate vote. It said the law would have helped protect disabled Americans, including wounded servicemen, as they travel around the world."
