U.N. threatening to trump U.S. Constitution

By Olivia St. John

As the political cauldron heats up for the coming 2008 presidential election, few Americans seem to realize that their personal freedoms secured under the Constitution are perilously close to being trumped by the United Nations.

Preposterous, you say? Not if a Democrat Senate and Democrat president ratify U.N. treaties, such as the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, aimed at dangerously weakening national sovereignty.

A case in point is the European Convention on Human Rights, an offshoot of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is currently being used by the German government to ban homeschooling and to indoctrinate public and private school students into fully embracing a socialist state. Recently, almost 40 German families have endured imprisonment, heavy fines, state seizure of children, and in some cases the serious hardship of seeking asylum in neighboring countries, all because they have chosen to homeschool their children due to concerns over hedonistic exposure to sexually explicit materials in the German public school system. Incredibly, Sven-Georg Adenauer, a Christian-Democrat governor joined at the hip with the Socialist party, demanded the prison sentences.

According to LifeSiteNews.com, the European Court utilized Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights and concluded that "Parents may not refuse the right to education of a child on the basis of their convictions" adding that the right to education "by its very nature calls for regulation by the State."

Furthermore, "the Court agreed with the finding of Germany's Federal Constitutional Court which stressed 'the general interest of society to avoid the emergence of parallel societies based on separate philosophical convictions and the importance of integrating minorities into society.'"

The fiasco in Germany is only a sample of what might happen in the U.S. if....

It's sad, I know (and I haven't been around relatively that long only; I'm only 26 years old), but it is sad how much freedom we have even lost since my gradparent's generation! (Yes I'll bet that the vast majority of those living in the 20's-40's voting for Franklin Roosevelt and his so-called "New Deal" would ever have dreamed that the consequences of their actions would one day lead to mental stupidity of gays/sodomy ever being seen as so accepted in the USA (Even Massachusetts).!a

Yet another reason not to bring a child into this world. Just want I would not want to do, make little socialists for the socialists to educate.

Actually it's a reason to bring lots of children into the world, and raise them right.

Then our kids, can kick the asses of the namby pamby Eurosocialists or anyone else, including the Jihadies. Since the latter breed like rats, that will take both numbers and a technological advantage.

But we can, as we say in Texas

Get 'Er Done

Don't kid yourself, constitutionality is determined by the party and or people in power. The electoral process only guarantees that we are allowed to elect our public officials it doesn't mean we are qualified to elect them or they are qualified to be elected, only that they have to be elected by a majority. Hence the takeover of the senate and the house!!!

It's be entertaining and frightening to watch the SC try to stuff a treaty in the commerce clause.

They came within a hair's breadth of stuffing a federal law against domestic violence into it. Don't underestimate the elasticity of the New Deal Commerce Clause, or Congress' ability to "find" things that "substantially affect commerce among the several states".

I don't see her doom and gloom scenario happening anytime soon if at all.

You couldn't be further from the truth. In 1993 the biodiversity treaty was on the fast track to be approved 99-0 and within hours of being voted on. But for the courageous leaking of the UN appendix to this treaty by an insider and the followup efforts by Dr. Michael Coffman, this disaterous trety would have passed and been signed by Bill clintoon. Please take a few minutes and read this link here.

And so now we're supposed to tuck our tail between our legs, and roll over for our new masters, eh? You go ahead, I've got other irons in the fire.

It takes 2/3 of the Senate to approve a treaty so the Democrats are well short of the votes needed to approve these treaties.

NOT AT ALL! But it's a wake up call, I never pass up a chance to recruit a voter or convert an idiot, but it's imperative we start now or we definitely lose for a decade and the next decade could very well be the most important decade in our generation. I wasn't a member of the "great war" "The War to end all wars" But is this war less important? Tell me the difference.

The difference is in this war there are no uniforms, only ideas, and if you're not careful you'll end up losing to your allies.

Most patriots have guns

Yes we do! Come hell or highwater the UN won't be dictating to us what our kids can and can't do.. Much to the UN's dismay, the US public is armed to the teeth. Many FReepers and Americans that have guns won't hesitate to fight the UN with all they have when the sh*t hits the fan.

Ditto to that sentiment alienken!

The day a 'blue helmet' show up at my door and tells me to hand my right over to him/her, is the day they meet their maker.
