Sen. Barbara Boxer is urging the U.S. to ratify a United Nations measure meant to expand the rights of children, a move critics are calling a gross assault on parental rights that could rob the U.S. of sovereignty.
The California Democrat is pushing the Obama administration to review the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a nearly 20-year-old international agreement that has been foundering on American shores since it was signed by the Clinton administration in 1995 but never ratified.

As someone has mentioned, the charge of hypocrisy is only potent against those who hold themselves to a higher standard. It means nothing to those who don’t.
They should give her the freedom to leave this country any time she chooses.

Signing any treaty that violates the constitution, erodes our national sovereignty is cause for a good tar and feathering.
Every dangerous idea that has ever been floated by the left is being brought up. The left is engaging in its big push for total permanent domination. A fight is coming! 2010
Barbara Boxer, California’s gift to the world idiot pool.
But WHAT ABOUT the CHILDREN!?!??!?!!?
How about an ole fashion hanging in the public square with a piece of rusty barbwire?
Kahlifonia seems to he a hotbed of these sorts of imbiciles.
Have to remember that Barbies grandson is a nephew to the impeached ex president....and she gave bill a pass on his wild times with young interns..
you're right! Let's put Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, and Frank in Time Out until they are ready to start acting like adults!!

You need to forward that info to Bill OReilly as he has led charge against pedophiles in US...and he might cause an uprising over this.
> This treaty will make adults who have sex with children
> no longer criminals as then children’s sexual rights
> will supersede our laws against pedophilia.
When I was in Brazil, I saw a sign that made me sick.
