Sen. Barbara Boxer is pushing the Obama administration to move forward with ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a controversial treaty that has never gained much support in the U.S.

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.

Nearly every country in the world is party to it — only the U.S. and Somalia are not — but the convention has gained little support in the U.S. and never been sent to the Senate for ratification.

That could change soon.

“Whether you ground your kids for smoking marijuana, whether you take them to church, whether you let them go to junior prom, all of those things . . . will be the government’s decision,” said Michael Farris, president of ParentalRights.org. “It will affect every parent who’s told their children to do the dishes.”

THE PATRIOTS:

Right to your conservative Republican Congressmen and Senators and everyone else whom will have influence over this and help us stop this nightmare from happening.

America! – If you don’t take a stand on this then you get what you deserve. If you don’t do something now it will be too late and when this is signed into law there will be “no way” to go back.

We warned you that the worst was yet to come when we created our post. We however are watching and preparing for the next revolution and we can and will prevail just as we did 230 years ago.

SIDE NOTE: How many Americans out there are aware of our government telling all the illegal Mexicans crossing the border “illegally” are being told “don’t listen to anything the American border pratrol says to you, you have rights” and our own government is working on a way to require our border agents to enforce this “right”.

How many more innocent Americans must be murdered and killed before you wake up America? How many more rights of ours do we need to loose before you wake up America?

There is only one solution to all these problems…

Lock and Load!

Wake up America! If those of us whom still care don’t take a stand now, “before”, legislation is passed and they change the Constitution’s first Amendment it will be too late. You see once the change is made “they” will not go back and remove it. We must take a stand together now “before” this happens and if we don’t then the responsibility falls on us.

Like many changes in the last 30 years that occur without a fight this will be just another programming lesson for all those robot Americans out there who do what the government tells them. Because after all they know whats best for us. We’re too stupid to know what is best for us.

This bail out money going to hire illegal immigrants (mostly Mexicans) and the forever permanent alteration of our First Amendment rights should be enough to push us to the very edge. Revolution may be the only solution left. We’ve done it before and won against the tyranny of the British. If called upon and if the last resort we can and should do it again. After all it’s actually mentioned in the Constitution. It’s just that most American’s don’t bother to actually pay attention to the words.

Don’t give up hope conservative Christians. We will be there for you and America just like we have for 230 years.

The tyranny of atheists, liberals and anti-Americans is coming to an end.

We have been watching and waiting and we will once again defend the constitution to their last breath.

Don’t Let Activist Atheists Rewrite History

We veterans learned that no matter what life throws at you, no matter how many times you get knocked down or let down or fail, you get right back up and keep going.

Clip from “Facing the Giants” used in Pastor Dan’s “…

So we ask all conservatives, real Americans, patriots, veterans and those who voted for McCain, who still believe in the idea of America as it was originally founded to read this very slowly and allow these words and the video to be burned into your memory so that when we are attacked again, and it will happen again you will need to remember.

“When you put your hand in a bunch of goo, that a moment before, was your best friend or family members face, you’ll know what to do.”

JIHADWATCH

Now for all those stupid Americans and more specifically idiot liberals who think they are so much smarter then the rest of us, below are actual words from the Quran of which your new savior president elect used to be sworn into the United States Senate with.

Actual words from the Quran
Surah 4, verse 56

Those who have disbelieved
our signs,
we shall roast them in fire

whenever their skins are
cooked to a turn, we shall
substitute new skins for them

that they may feel the punishment:
verily Allah is sublime and wise

Quran Surah 47, verse 4

Therefore, when ye meet
the unbelievers,

smite at their necks and
when ye have caused a
bloodbath among them

bind a bond firmly on them

Islam: What the West Needs to Know

Fear not Christians and conservative God loving Americans we will be their for you when the time comes and it will be coming very soon. You can count on us as you did 230 years ago.

We have been preparing for what is coming for a long time and there are a lot more of us then there are of them. Obama was right there time has come along with Gays and Mexicans and anyone else who is Anti-American.

If only we Americans hadn’t lost our rights. If only there were still cowboy justice. If only we could make an example of them like the Romans did of their enemies.  The reasons why public hangings in the days of the Old West were so successful was because of the visual appeal of the consequences of crimes against the innocent.

There is only one solution to America’s immigration problems, gays and anti-Americans. Make a public display of what happens when they do what they do. But since that will never happen because our country is run by left radical liberals the only true solution is revolution.

We succeeded before and we can and will succeed again!

I’m voting democrat so I can roll over and die the next time some emo ass-clown with more prescription drugs than teeth in his body shoots up a public place. Because I can’t be trusted to personally own or carry a firearm. And I’m too unsafe to dare shooting back.

I’m voting Democrat because the real cure for racism includes preferential policies based on race — particularly in presidential voting. If you believe that a black candidate ought to be qualified, as well as black, you’re worse than Bull Conner.

If only the institution of far-left values resulted in a great country. Oh, well. That won’t stop me from voting Democrat, though. After all, I’m voting Democrat because thought isn’t one of my strong suits.

Change is coming and it’s not the change that liberals are going to expect. But fear not, we will be their for America when it’s time and we will cleanse her of the disease of liberalism and a new American will arise with the same originating principals it was founded on.

The Decline of Rome

How Excessive Government Killed Ancient Rome

Beginning with the third century B.C. Roman economic policy started to contrast more and more sharply with that in the Hellenistic world, especially Egypt. In Greece and Egypt economic policy had gradually become highly regimented, depriving individuals of the freedom to pursue personal profit in production or trade, crushing them under a heavy burden of oppressive taxation, and forcing workers into vast collectives where they were little better than bees in a great hive. The later Hellenistic period was also one of almost constant warfare, which, together with rampant piracy, closed the seas to trade. The result, predictably, was stagnation.

Taxation in the Republic and Early Empire

The expansion of the dole is an important reason for the rise of Roman taxes. In the earliest days of the Republic Rome’s taxes were quite modest, consisting mainly of a wealth tax on all forms of property, including land, houses, slaves, animals, money and personal effects. The basic rate was just .01 percent, although occasionally rising to .03 percent. It was assessed principally to pay the army during war. In fact, afterwards the tax was often rebated (Jones 1974: 161). It was levied directly on individuals, who were counted at periodic censuses.

As Rome expanded after the unification of Italy in 272 B.C., so did Roman taxes. In the provinces, however, the main form of tax was a tithe levied on communities, rather than directly on individuals. This was partly because censuses were seldom conducted, thus making direct taxation impossible, and also because it was easier to administer. Local communities would decide for themselves how to divide up the tax burden among their citizens (Goffart 1974: 11).

Oppression and extortion began very early in the provinces and reached fantastic proportions in the later republic. Most governors were primarily interested in acquiring military glory and in making money during their year in office, and the companies which farmed the taxes expected to make ample profits.

Inflation and Taxation

As early as the rule of Nero (54-68 A.D.) there is evidence that the demand for revenue led to debasement of the coinage. Revenue was needed to pay the increasing costs of defense and a growing bureaucracy. However, rather than raise taxes, Nero and subsequent emperors preferred to debase the currency by reducing the precious metal content of coins. This was, of course, a form of taxation; in this case, a tax on cash balances (Bailey 1956).

Occasionally, the tax burden would be moderated by a cancellation of back taxes or other measures. One such occasion occurred under the brief reign of Pertinax (193 A.D.), who replaced the rapacious Commodus (A.D. 176-192). As Edward Gibbon (1932: 88) tells us:

Though every measure of injustice and extortion had been adopted, which could collect the property of the subject into the coffers of the prince; the rapaciousness of Commodus had been so very inadequate to his extravagance, that, upon his death, no more than eight thousand pounds were found in the exhausted treasury, to defray the current expenses of government, and to discharge the pressing demand of a liberal donative, which the new emperor had been obliged to promise to the Praetorian guards. Yet under these distressed circumstances, Pertinax had the generous firmness to remit all the oppressive taxes invented by Commodus, and to cancel all the unjust claims of the treasury; declaring in a decree to the senate, “that he was better satisfied to administer a poor republic with innocence, than to acquire riches by the ways of tyranny and dishonor.”

State Socialism

Unfortunately, Pertinax was an exception. Most emperors continued the policies of debasement and increasingly heavy taxes, levied mainly on the wealthy. The war against wealth was not simply due to purely fiscal requirements, but was also part of a conscious policy of exterminating the Senatorial class, which had ruled Rome since ancient times, in order to eliminate any potential rivals to the emperor. Increasingly, emperors came to believe that the army was the sole source of power and they concentrated their efforts on sustaining the army at all cost.

As the private wealth of the Empire was gradually confiscated or taxed away, driven away or hidden, economic growth slowed to a virtual standstill. Moreover, once the wealthy were no longer able to pay the state’s bills, the burden inexorably fell onto the lower classes, so that average people suffered as well from the deteriorating economic conditions. In Rostovtzeff’s words, “The heavier the pressure of the state on the upper classes, the more intolerable became the condition of the lower” (Rostovtzeff 1957: 430).

At this point, in the third century A.D., the money economy completely broke down. Yet the military demands of the state remained high. Rome’s borders were under continual pressure from Germanic tribes in the North and from the Persians in the East. Moreover, it was now explicitly understood by everyone that the emperor’s power and position depended entirely on the support of the army. Thus, the army’s needs required satisfaction above all else, regardless of the consequences to the private economy.

With the collapse of the money economy, the normal system of taxation also broke down. This forced the state to directly appropriate whatever resources it needed wherever they could be found. Food and cattle, for example, were requisitioned directly from farmers. Other producers were similarly liable for whatever the army might need. The result, of course, was chaos, dubbed “permanent terrorism” by Rostovtzeff (1957: 449). Eventually, the state was forced to compel individuals to continue working and producing.

The result was a system in which individuals were forced to work at their given place of employment and remain in the same occupation, with little freedom to move or change jobs. Farmers were tied to the land, as were their children, and similar demands were made on all other workers, producers, and artisans as well. Even soldiers were required to remain soldiers for life, and their sons compelled to follow them. The remaining members of the upper classes were pressed into providing municipal services, such as tax collection, without pay. And should tax collections fall short of the state’s demands, they were required to make up the difference themselves. This led to further efforts to hide whatever wealth remained in the Empire, especially among those who still found ways of becoming rich. Ordinarily, they would have celebrated their new-found wealth; now they made every effort to appear as poor as everyone else, lest they become responsible for providing municipal services out of their own pocket.

The steady encroachment of the state into the intimate workings of the economy also eroded growth. The result was increasing feudalization of the economy and a total breakdown of the division of labor. People fled to the countryside and took up subsistence farming or attached themselves to the estates of the wealthy, which operated as much as possible as closed systems, providing for all their own needs and not engaging in trade at all. Meanwhile, much land was abandoned and remained fallow or fell into the hands of the state, whose mismanagement generally led to a decline in production.

The Fall of Rome

Constantine (308-37 A.D.) continued Diocletian’s policies of regimenting the economy, by tying workers and their descendants even more tightly to the land or their place of employment (Jones 1958). For example, in 332 he issued the following order:

Any person in whose possession a tenant that belongs to another is found not only shall restore the aforesaid tenant to his place of origin but also shall assume the capitation tax for this man for the time that he was with him. Tenants also who meditate flight may be bound with chains and reduced to a servile condition, so that by virtue of a servile condemnation they shall be compelled to fulfill the duties that befit free men [Jones 1970: 312].

Although Constantine made an effort to restore the currency, subsequent emperors resumed the debasement, resulting in renewed price inflation (West 1951). Apparently, Emperor Julian (360-63 A.D.) also refused to believe that the inflation was due to debasement, but rather was caused by merchants hoarding their stores. To prove his point, he sent his own grain reserves into the market at Antioch. According to Gibbon (1932: 801),

The consequences might have been foreseen, and were soon felt. The Imperial wheat was purchased by the rich merchants; the proprietors of land or of corn withheld from the city the accustomed supply; and the small quantities that appeared in the market were secretly sold at an advanced and illegal price.
