The UN Convention on The Rights of The Child?
So, if the USA Ratified the Convention, they would have to release our birth records to us! I'd love to hear the excuse the Country has for not ratifying this Convention, as other countries have done. Very interesting - "land of the free", eh? I DON'T FEEL FREE! Hmmmmmpf! Yes, I was born and adopted in the USA
What happened to the USA being a defender of human rights and other such things? Why is the USA now funding ISIS in Syria?
America being “a defender of human rights” is a fallacy. With very few exceptions, our boots/industry/business (our tools of conquest) have never been on foreign soil without an agenda.Even Viet Nam, which we were supposedly “saving from Communism” was all for selfish reasons anyway, as we were afraid that their change might somehow affect us. We ended up supporting an especially unpopular and brutal dictator, known to have a policy of “shoot communists on site”. Ngo Dinh Diem was by far the inferior leader and was well known to commit human rights abuses against his own people.However, the brutal dictator had a better chance of maintaining international commerce. I’m not exaggerating. This is truly the “textbook” method of the United States. It’s practically a policy to install a brutal dictator in place of democratically elected ones.Please don’t believe the lies that the government feeds you. They ultimately need some popular support to actually go to war and if the masses keep believing this “the United States is an altruistic Ghandi-esque force for good in the world”, the people of the nations that we invade and pillage will pay the price.Look at South and Central America and the Carribean. We definitely had some fun down there. Oh, but we were’t actually involved in any of that dirty business ;).
U.S. Constitution: Should Barack Obama be impeached for abusing the human rights of American citizens using the auspices of the Patriot Act?
Let's just be clear about how the GOP acts during election years, everything starts sounding nuts right up until the run up to the party convention. Then hopefully, we've placated the fringes of the party enough that they'll stay with us as we "run like hell back to the center." The impeachment shtick, which some thought of as a great triumph for the GOP, was an abject waste of time and I think the party leadership have acknowledged that. People, however, like to go back to the "crazy chest of rotten chestnuts," as I like to say, more as a rhetorical tactic to firm up their base than because they really care. I lump Ben Carson placating some in the gun lobby by alienating every Jewish voter with his off-color interpretation of the Holocaust, and appealing to the "end of days" christian crowd as being in the same category as the "impeach the president for _____" routine, which seems to only show up on Drudge or Alex Jones out of election season. Do these tactics work? They used to, politicians have gotten away with accusing Democrats of far crazier things. Do they still work, I doubt it, if my burgeoning interest in demographics and data science is any indication. Eventually things will come back center and we won't talk about crazy things like impeaching the president right before he's going to leave office.So, hopefully, the pendulum swings out of crazy town back into conservative town by the convention. Otherwise, I'm going back into third-party politics.
Countries that violate human rights?...?
In order to name countries that violate human rights, you need to categorise human rights in terms of, for example, women’s and children’s rights and then research on whether different countries have signed the treaties relating to those rights and if they have domesticated them or not. · Zimbabwe is known for a violation of freedom of expression especially as against the current president Robert Mugabe. Pakistan is also known for a breach of that freedom especially with evidence of unexplained killings and missing reports of reporters in that country.
Does USA have any human rights issues?
No. The U.S. government, military, and its citizens (not all, just a very large portion) could not care less about respecting human rights. There are still people living without clean water in Flint, Michigan 5 years later and in other parts of the country, the water is being contaminated by hazardous pipelines that Native Americans were brutalized for protesting against. Meanwhile the U.S. government pours more money into its military industrial complex to fund wars for oil more than it does for it citizens. The healthcare sector is designed to only benefit those who are privileged enough to afford it. People literally die in the streets and families go bankrupt because they can’t afford healthcare. Lax gun laws allow maniacs to walk into public spaces and murder dozens of people at once, including school children. Speaking of school children, the government also puts more money into prisons than schools. In some parts of the USA kids are still using books that their grandparents used and sitting in classrooms without heat or AC. Police often brutalize and murder their fellow citizens instead of protecting them. I can go on and on but I think this is enough.
