One of the Economist's blogs, Democracy in America, found this Chinese report:"The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2006". I really don't know where to begin on this. Seriously, though, are we going to listen to China on Human Rights? Get real.

Here's what the Economist blog had to say:

CHINA has just published its report on "The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2006". And, believe it or not, you really do have to read it. It's an amazing piece of propaganda, diligently assembled from published sources, which achieves exactly its intended purpose: of making you wonder whether the State Department is any "fairer" or "more balanced" when it publishes its own country reports on human rights overseas. Thanks to CFR for the reference.

I only read through the first page, and then in disgust I stopped. Here's a quote from the "report":

The United States has the largest number of privately owned guns in the world. The unchecked spread of guns has caused incessant murders.

At least the murders were citizen on citizen and not government imposed! There are few better examples of a Second Amendment Right than China.

Having forgone the means with which to defend one's self, What tyranny must one endure? I don't think I'll never know.
