Obama Ambassador To Russia: We Support “Universal Values” Not “American Values”…
Wish I could say I was surprised.
(CNS News) — The new U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, said that in dealing with the former Soviet Union, he and the Obama administration would be advocating “universal values” and “not American values.”
McFaul was sworn in as ambassador to Russia by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Jan. 10. He made his remarks on Tuesday’s Morning Edition on NPR. The show’s host, David Greene, had asked McFaul about Russia’s “evolution towards demoracy,” and McFaul said “there is no single path to democracy” and that his job was to support universal values
“And we — as President Obama has said many, many times — we’re not going to get into the business of dictating that path,” McFaul said. “We’re just going to support what we like to call ‘universal values’ — not American values, not Western values, universal values.”
Secretary Clinton said she was “thrilled” to make McFaul’s ambassadorship “official” at the swearing-in ceremony, where she touted his expertise as a Russian scholar and as senior director for Russian and Eurasian Affairs in the Obama administration’s National Security Council. Clinton also spoke of values at the ceremony.

Romney praises Hezbollah’s healthcare system
Romney: …”Did you notice in Lebanon, what Hezbollah did? Lebanon became a democracy some time ago and while their government was getting underway, Hezbollah went into southern Lebanon and provided health clinics to some of the people there, and schools. And they built their support there by having done so. That kind of diplomacy is something that would help America become stronger around the world and help people understand that our interest is an interest towards modernity and goodness and freedom for all people in the world. And so, I want to see America carry out that kind of health diplomacy…”
Fellow traveler or useful idiot? Which is it?
That speech could have been written by a propagandist from the old Comintern.
GULP… We are doomed unless we get this assclown out of the peoples house.
Can we all now stop with the “Hilary would make a better president than Obuttma” horseshit that is spewed forth by the propaganda media. She is just as much a dyed in the wool communist and America hater as that mongrel buffoon president that she serves. Hillary was thrilled. She should be in prison.
That US ambassador to the Soviet Union that said that crap about American Values should be sentenced to hard labor in Sibeira.
The U.S. Ambassador spouting Comintern propaganda back at the Russians.
Who won the Cold War again?
Then get the fuck out of the USA and go to the Universal States of Obummer, i.e., HELL.
“Universal Values Not American Values”
Or being a Citizen of the World… that core idea of the former soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnikh.
Who’d have imagined Communism would transmigrate to the very country that had stood against its home base of old?

How right you are…
I’ll borrow a prior post of ‘garstorgrab’s’ as evidence:
“Our nation can achieve permanent health only from within on the basis of the principle: The common interest before self-interest.”

-
“All individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived in their relation to the State.”
- Benito Mussolini
-
“Our individual salvation depends on our collective salvation.”
- Barack Obama
-
“It’s time to put the common good, the national interest, ahead of individuals.”
- Hillary Clinton
@Spurwing Plover
Bwhahahahahaahah
If he thinks Obama policies are American policies I wouldn’t want to impose them on any living thing anywhere because Obama has put himself above the cowards in Congress…
Hijab Hillary is crazy about this guy she swore in to run errands overseas for her….
Even this Canadian has always admired “American values”.
Do “universal values” include those from other galaxies?
This shit makes my blood BOIL. This administration is a disaster. I feel like I’m in a nightmare that just won’t end.
I’ll stick to my American Values, ambassador, you can go sodomize yourself with a garden hoe.
I would like to know which ‘universal values’ are not ‘American values’.
Is Putin going to replace Biden on the ticket?
And exactly what are “universal values” this puke is spewing?
Obama should leave the US and run for president of the world. Isn’t that his aim anyway …
We are one step closer to Barry (or whoever’s pulling the strings) to be ruler of the world. If the Wall Street Insider is correct, little Barry boy was an “investment” for this kind of future.

Please, please read and pass on. And no – I don’t have my own blog or work for anyone who does.
Is “Universal Values”= Global Currency?
Posted this January 2009 “☭bama is a crazy sob”, the nightmare continues
Sickening. Anti-American communist scum.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN FILLED WITH TRAITORS,LIARS, AND SCUMBAGS FROM DAY 1.
Yes, my caps were on, intentionally. Start with George C. Marshall opposing Truman and being pro-Islamist. Go from there.
You know she’s got plans to be president. That would be a bad choice.
It would be a bad choice for America. Hopefully we know better.

Long buried the Wannsee documents, turned away Jewish refugees.

Bahá’í Faith
In Bahá’í belief, a single God has sent all the historic founders of the world religions in a process of progressive revelation. The major world religions are seen as divine in origin and are continuous in their purpose. In this view, there is unity among the founders of world religions, but each revelation brings a more advanced set of teachings in human history.[27] Within this universal view, the unity of humanity is one of the central teachings of the Bahá’í Faith.[28] The Bahá’í teachings state that since all humans have been created in the image of God, God does not make any distinction between people regardless of race, colour or religion.[29] Thus, because all humans have been created equal, they all require equal opportunities and treatment.[28] Thus the Bahá’í view promotes the unity of humanity, and that people’s vision should be world-embracing and that people should love the whole world rather than just their nation.[29] The teaching, however, does not equal unity with uniformity, but instead the Bahá’í writings advocate for the principle of unity in diversity where the variety in the human race is valued.[30]
“Universal Values”
——–
Definitely Marxist. Thats the religion that is socialism. It’s a centrally-planned belief system.
Good and Evil are subjective concepts that fall outside the range of government expertise. Government has no business defining “The Greater Good”, and NO authority to enforce it.
As far as government is concerned, there can be no such thing as ‘The Greater Good’. Every FREE person needs something different.

“Whenever a single definite object is made the supreme end of the State, be it the advantage of a class, the safety of the power of the country, the greatest happiness of the greatest number, or the support of any speculative idea, the State becomes for the time inevitably absolute. Liberty alone demands for its realisation the limitation of the public authority, for liberty is the only object which benefits all alike, and provokes no sincere opposition.”
- Lord Acton, 1862
HIT THE ROAD JACK
why didn’t zero just send him with a note pinned to his shirt saying “go ahead and attack us by whatever means. we are no longer a superpower with me at the controls, and will offer no resistance”? somewhere, kruschev is laughing.
Would that be like the “universal values” of the UN? You know, where you can trash any religion except Islam?
What the hell is wrong with these people?
It appears that the SOVIET UNION didnt die after all
gastorgrab,
what do you think of the Universal House of Justice?
“Bahá’í writings advocate for the principle of unity in diversity where the variety in the human race is valued.”
multiculturalism.. a religious tenant..
Look at the finger he is pressing the red button with…he is flipping Hillary the bird…and by do so he is flipping off our precious country…f**k him!
Looks like the man was interested in the job we took a job he is unqualified for.
That happens a lot in this administration doesn’t it?
Just what are universal valuses?
Perhaps he could give us some idea of what he stands for and what he is doing there.
