What you discuss concerns such a minority. I agree that the right wing agenda of censorship, etc., is so outside the majority US thinking that it has reached the point that the other side MAY be able to take advantage. Unfortunately, as I posted before, their own approach, basically to attack, as opposed to coming up with some agenda that makes sense, assures us that we have a government elected by a tiny minority so anything can happen. There probably is not much that can save the Republicans in this next election. One that can is Nancy Pelosi and her crew of harpies. I bet that more people turn off when they see her than when they see any of the top Republicans. Both parties are stuck in this debate you want to have. As I said before, the people know the big issues, including Iraq and Iran, and they want comprehensive plans that make sense. They don't want to see placate and wait. It didn't work before WWII and it won't work now.

Is this what we get if the dems take over? U.N. treaty trumps parental rights Washington Times ^ \| 8-28-06 \| Michael Smith washingtontimes.com Could a 10-person panel of foreign nationals dictate, with the full weight of U.S. law, how we raise our children? This idea seems far-fetched, even ridiculous, but, unfortunately, it is possible. The problem stems from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been adopted by 192 nations. The treaty creates civil, economic, social and cultural rights for every child. The Clinton administration sought ratification, but the treaty was not approved by the U.S. Senate because of opposition from senators who were concerned it would undermine parental rights.
