I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.

The teabaggers-who ever dignified such a narrow-minded ignorant bunch of people with something as patriotic as not wanting to pay taxes if not represented–simply follow the same right-wing purveyors of disinformation. The UNCRC has proven for twenty years that it has supported families in raising their children the way the families see fit. It just isn’t true that the UNCRC would “tell families what to do” with their kids.

The opposition to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, why? Simple, it says kids have the right to choose their beliefs. That’s why the fundies who control the Tea Party oppose the UNCRC. What, allow kids to have a say? The fundies even claim that the US signing it will allow kids to say they want to play and not go to school – yes, I’ve read that claim, that is the depth of idiocy these folk descend to. They also moan on about it will mean parents cannot administer corporal punishment, and that it means the end of the family. In case they hadn’t noticed, the family is under stress and the US hasn’t signed it. But there you are, the rest of the world is out of step with the US of A, they all signed up. One asks, in those countries are kids still going to school, is the family under any more stress than in the US and have they all banned corporal punishment? They’ve all signed up, even basket case Somalia says it will when it manages to become a properly run country again. But the Tea Party says the UNCRC is so dangerous they are supporting the campaign for a constitutional amendment for parental rights. America has no other problems to really worry about ….. and its children are all so PROTECTED and free from poverty, exploitation, violence, abuses against their rights. These people have a pretty fascist agenda. Ask them what rights they say kids DO have. Silence, absolute silence.
