Why Can’t America Have Human Rights?
You’re not going to believe this one. Shortly after the five-year anniversary of 9/11, an astounding gang of radical leftists, Marxists, feminists, lesbians, DJs, choirs, witches, Amnesty International, Planned Parenthood (?), and radical Islamists (whew!) is holding an event in New York City sponsored by an organization calling itself “Breakthrough,” entitled: Why Can’t America Have Human Rights?
The billing on their front page:
Why Can’t America Have Human Rights is an upcoming public forum to bring attention to the growing movement for human rights in the United States.
In addition to the sketchy info on the web page linked above, a reader forwarded the more detailed email being sent to the Moonbat Nation.
Of course, the Council on American Islamic Relations is involved.
Breakthrough & Mission and Social Justice of The Riverside Church present:
Why Can’t America Have Human Rights?
