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.

Critics say the treaty, which creates "the right of the child to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" and outlaws the "arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy," intrudes on the family and strips parents of the power to raise their children without government interference.

If O’Reilly is unaware of this, I should be the moderator on his show and he should be typing into my computer. He has many “professionals” working for him and he’s not exactly uninformed about these things. I’m assuming that he is aware and it will be a “topic” of his program when he finishes tackling larger issues, of his desire.

“Now, all you have to do is look around the world and see these girls that are having acid thrown in their face,” Boxer said in January, implying that the U.S. refusal to come aboard has led to abuses elsewhere.”

What is wrong with these people? Between this and the proposed Hate crime law, I’m shaking my head. You notice how they call these laws something that sounds good. It’s a tool to manipulate and somewhat bully someone into voting for it.
