The Hypocritical Left Trashes “Universal Human Rights” | NewsReal Blog

The “progressive” Left allegedly believes in a little something that we can call “universal human rights.” Rumor has it that they believe in democracy, free speech, freedom of religion, women’s rights, gay rights, and so forth.

They don’t.

If the Left actually believed in universal human rights than it would stand up for those values whenever, and wherever, they are violated. This, however, is clearly not the case. The Left’s interest in such things is entirely dependent upon the skin color of the alleged perpetrators and whether or not they happen to be Jews. The Left could care less about Arab on Arab violence or Muslim on Muslim violence or African on African violence. For example, ethnic violence in southern Kyrgyzstan has recently left thousands dead and tens of thousands displaced. Yet we read barely a peep of protest from the Left press or political blogs. This should hardly be surprising given the fact that the Left has also shown virtually no interest in the genocide in Darfur, nor the five million dead in the Congo.
