(62,325 posts)trying to keep up with OUR crimes against our own people and against millions of others and feeling incredible frustration that we can't seem to stop them, to feel I have ANY credibility considering I live here, to go around pointing fingers elsewhere. Because I know what will be said to me unfortunately.
Just as China slammed the State Dept when Hillary attempted to point out THEIR human rights abuses (of course they too are allies of ours, nothing stops us from supporting human rights abusers when it comes to money). They responded with a long list of OUR abuses for the world to see admonishing us for not taking care of our own business.
I guess I see it this way. If someone robs a bank, then lectures others on the evils of robbing banks while he continues to do so himself, he's not going to have much credibility.
I'm for restoring OUR moral authority so that WE CAN go around the world lecturing people on Human Rights without having our own sins pointed out to us which kind of makes our lectures pretty worthless and ineffective.
