Jim Pfaff, state policy analyst for Focus, explains further in a recent AgapePress article: "We are against any form of special recognition for homosexuals at any level of government. We do not believe that it is a class that is required to be treated specially.”

5. Kofi Annan tells the U.S. to close Gitmo

The United Nations released a report on Feb. 16 calling the Guantanamo Bay detention center a torture camp and insisting that the U.S. close the facility. Patriotic Americans are enraged by the UN’s accusations, especially in light of who the messenger was.

"I am not surprised that UN officials are calling on the United States to set terrorists free and let them run wild throughout the global community," said Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon. “The UN has been AWOL in the war on terror since it began.” 

Kilgannon adds:

The United Nations should clean up its own act…. They can begin with the UN Human Rights Commission which rolls out the red carpet for genocidal dictators. They can clean out the bureaucrats who accepted bribes from Saddam Hussein and corrupted the Oil-for-Food program. They can bring to justice blue-helmeted UN peacekeepers who violate innocent children in third world countries. They can ensure that state sponsors of terrorism are not rewarded with seats on the UN Security Council as was the recent case of Syria…. The U.S. message to the United Nations ought to be: Physician, heal thyself.

So is the Gitmo situation even as bad as the UN makes it out to be? Probably not. A panel of experts will tackle the "What You Read vs. What You See" debate next Wednesday at the Heritage Foundation (9:30 am for those of you who want to tune in online).
