Does Kofi Annan want back in?
Can Barack just surrender to the U.N.?
Welcome to the Obamanation, where taxes must be raised so we can send more money to the UN.
obama and his dem congress will have us so intertwined with the un and the ‘world court’, et al. , the next administration might have to ask France and Russia for help.
And so it begins...
Yes, it does. Woe unto those who think everything goes on as it has always been.
Reverse course ... OK, hey let them set up in Kenya ....
Denounce, Defund, Deport, Disarm, Disband!
Hey all you teaty leeches, there goes all those free housing, free gas, etc. heehee
Hopefully that refers to flying an AC-130 back and forth over it.
"If ratified by the U.S. Senate, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child would undermine families by granting to children a list of radical “rights” which would be primarily enforced against the parents. These new “fundamental” rights would include “the right to privacy,” “the right to freedom of thought and association,” and the right to “freedom of expression.” Such presumptions subvert the authority of parents to exercise important responsibilities toward their children. Under the UN Convention, parental responsibility exists only in so far as parents are willing to further the independent choices of the child.
The Convention Would Give Children the “Right” to Disregard Parental Authority
Although several of the treaty’s provisions offer generally positive, nonoffensive platitudes, a substantial portion of this charter undermines parental rights. Some of the more relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child are summarized below.
Severe Limitations Placed on the Parents’ Right to Train Their Children
Under Article 13, any attempts to prevent their children from interacting with material parents deem unacceptable is forbidden. Children are vested with a “ freedom of expression” right, which is virtually absolute. No allowance is made for parental guidance. Section 1 declares a child’s right to “seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child’s choice.”
In Article 14, children are guaranteed “ freedom of thought, conscience and religion.” Children have a legal right to object to all religious training. Alternatively, children may assert their right against parental objection to participate in the occult.
Article 15 declares “the right of the child to freedom of association.” Parents could be prevented from forbidding their child to associate with people deemed to be objectionable companions. Under Article 15, children could claim a “fundamental” right to join gangs, cults, and racist organizations over parental objection.

Scary stuff.
I remember dad telling me in high school whether or not America should join the UN was a big debate topic.
How is it that I just know the whole talking points was a foregone conclusion, manipulation, etc. That wasn’t an amendment type deal - state legislatures, the house, senate etc, just a signature from the president? It’s not shown often, but there’s a picture of Harry Truman, hat in hand, at San Francisco (Where the UN was originally located) for the signing ceremony. Hm.
Why should we help pay for the slaughter of the defenseless around the planet?
No thanks.
Does anybody else wonder why we still support the UN?
It tries to undermine the Constitution of the USA and
would love to cripple our Constitutional Republic.
In over 60 years No major politician has ever tried to
get the USA out of the UN.
16 out of 17 of the AMERICANS that were involved in
creating the UN were later identified, in sworn
testimony, as secret communist agents.
The first Secretary General was the AMERICAN Alger
Hiss.
Alger Hiss served time in prison pursuant to his
involvement in a Communist spy ring.
Many of the other AMERICANS that were involved in
creating the U . N. fled the country, to avoid
prosecution.
The ONE AMERICAN, that was involved in creating the UN
and was NOT later identified, in sworn testimony, as a
secret communist agent, was Dean Acheson.
Dean Acheson’s law firm was the legal representative of
the Soviet Union, in US courts.
If the AMERICANS that were involved in creating the UN
were Communists, what do you think we got from the rest
of the world?
It began last year with Obama's Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S. 2433)
It figures. A Chicago pol would feel right at home with the UN. Had McCain won, I was going to suggest that he appoint BarryO as ambassador to the circus.
I am trying to be philosophical. It isn’t working....
