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....

"Would be best if we got out while we still can... "
Great idea but where to? As bad as the U.S. is becoming, it's still better than anywhere else I know of.
I meant to imply out of the U.N.
I ain't going anywhere else...I believe this country is still worth fighting for...Even with a few liberal goobers that claim it to be home as well...
Sorry if I confused some with that comment...

Excerpt:
the Administrator, upon receipt of evidence that a pollution source or combination of sources (including moving sources) is presenting an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare, or the environment, may bring suit on behalf of the United States in the appropriate United States district court to immediately restrain any person causing or contributing to the alleged pollution to stop the emission of air pollutants causing or contributing to such pollution or to take such other action as may be necessary.

Let's not forget Gore's threat:
...the Federal Office of the Environment and Public Works has released this statement:
NUREMBERG-STYLE TRIALS PROPOSED FOR GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS
http://epw.senate.gov/fact.cfm?party=rep&id=264568
The author does understand Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution?
He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;
>>>The UN is also trying to tell us how we should use our waterways, lakes, etc.
That was a trick done with the watersheds. They now have control over the watersheds and that control gave them power over all the tributaries that run into the watersheds. This also gave them control over a 100 to 300 feet buffer (called greenway border) on all the land bordering the watersheds and tributaries that run into the watersheds.
Now cross reference that with this:

>>>>they're called "green belts"
And the 100 to 300 foot border of the green belts are labeled greenways.

Very true. But never overlook the backdoor. Public-Private partnerships with grant monies the snake in at local levels.

It wasn't just the sit it out crowd. Not all the states were in compliance with the provisions of Section 303(a) of HAVA. There was suppose to be a purge of colorful 'voters' by January 1, 2006. So many of these voting pets, dead people, non existant addresses, duel residencies, et al stayed on the books and voted in November's election.

Some of us KNOW what needs to be done. Not one of us has the desire to be the first one to charge that hill.
Any frog jumping out of the pot early will be ridiculed by all the other frogs staying in the nice warm water. If you land in the fire instead, they will laugh at you and point out how it was much better to stay in the pot like a good little froggie. After all, it ain't boiling yet is it? - Me. July, 2006
"Legislation can't change Constitutional provisions, so neither can treaties"
BS, what about McCain-Feingold?
UnConstitutional. Blatantly. Regardless what Ginsberg and her liberal cohorts opined about it.
"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."
Well don't worry, the RINOs that you always stand up for will vote with the Dims to get the 2/3 necessary.
I would love to know what we can do also. I'm in for any and all serious discussion to jumping out of that pot. I will volunteer to be the first and take the ridicule for others to follow.
