    I never stated “human rights” shouldn’t be respected or enforced. I said, in the US, they don’t exist. They were not created by congress, then enshrined into law. It is a concept created by the UN over 70 years ago, and yes, the US was a member at that time, but as you clearly agree, we certainly aren’t enforcing all of those “human rights” conceived by the UN. I don’t know how to make this any clearer.

    A wonderful idea, but unless said country has adopted them, then enforcing them, they’re meaningless.

      Then continue supporting them and stop spouting drivel about them not existing.

      If you want them enforced you need to treat them as something to be taken seriously, and you need to condemn goverments when they violate them.
