I've been telling everyone that this administration wants to subordinate America to the UN and this is a step in that direction. Tell everyone you know, write, phone, and e-mail every member of the Senate if you oppose this Convention on the Rights of Children. We need to stop it now.

What most idiots don’t realize is that 60% of the members of the UN are NOT democracies.
We should have kicked the U.N. out of the U.S. when we had the chance...right after 9/11. We could have made up some excuse about their safety, moved them to some island off the coast of Africa, or Alcatraz and prayed for a tsunami.
The harpies of Washington are going to destroy us.
“If they can put all of their left-wing socialist policies into treaty form, we’re stuck with it even if they lose the next election.”
Nope. Treaties can be abrogated.
It is interesting that one of the first things evil Voldemort (the dark lord) did in the Harry Potter series after ascending to power was to outlaw homeschooling. And now we see the same effort to diminish parental rights with the incompetents who are now in place to do mischief to our once-great nation.
I’m just sayin’. . .sometimes fiction is just fiction, sometimes it’s allegory or prophesy.
What far too many liberals fail to realize is that the strength of a nation depends not on the strength of its individual citizens but, rather, on the strength of its families. Too many of the liberal efforts here and abroad focus on individual rights—rights of the children, rights of the women, rights of the workers—and in the process are destroying the very foundation of their society. Families are roots, the reason to build and maintain homes and cities, the reason to care about schools, about long-term environmental issues, about preserving the land. It’s all about the next generation, and the next generation, and the next generation. Atomize your families and you get people who are focused solely on the here-and-now, on “me first” and so forth, which, incidentally, described a whole lot of society today.
The whole idea that the majority of people will willingly sacrifice for some ephemeral, anonymous next generation is nonsense and childless Europeans demanding more and more unsustainable benefits for themselves, regardless of the consequences for someone else’s children, proves it. People sacrifice for their children, their grandchildren, not someone else’s. Look even at how so many Americans seem willing to saddle the next generations) with massive debt just so they can sell that huse they invested in at a good profit.
Rant off. ):o{
Bullshiite.
>the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty, largely because of conservatives’ efforts to point out it would create that list of rights which primarily would be enforced against parents.
Amazing.
