Sadly, most organizations outgrow their altruistic motives when they expand. LWV has a reputation as being solidly for the left.

The woman who runs and/or owns the Snopes site has views which have a strong Communist flavor. (I'm trying to be charitable here.) As a result, while I at first merely found Snopes entertaining reading, I now take everything I read from Snopes with a grain of salt. Just b/c that site says it was a hoax definitely does not mean it's a hoax.

I discovered her left-leaning politics simply by reading quite a bit on the site. There has also been at least one article posted on FR which gave proof of her political beliefs as shown by her commentary, etc., on her site. If you read a lot there (assuming you are not nursing a bias of your own), you will find her politics amd propaganda relatively easy to ferret out.

"You're right. My husband still believes Planned Parenthood is a really 'good' organization, LOL."

The name, "Planned Parenthood", sounds like it should be an innocent organization. Years ago, before legal abortion, and before the pill, Their purpose was actually planned parenthood or controlled pregnancys. Today, their soul purpose is killing babies. Part of the plan to demoralize America.

The LWV was co-opted as a group of useful idiots many years ago but; it is nice to see people awaken to that fact.

So to my surprise, they [Hadassah] actively support democratic candidates who many times attend their events as keynote speakers

About sixteen years ago I took my child to a class in a Jewish community center, in a classroom that had just been vacated by a local Hadassah meeting.

On the blackboard was written in big chalk letters: BORK = PIG. These little old Jewish ladies had been holding a two-minute hate against Robert Bork!

Thank God there are many formerly leftist Jews who have seen the light and realize the Left is anti-Semitic.

But there are still far too many who are self-deluded, and who will not only reflexively vote DemocRAT, but will work avidly against their own self-interest.

Thanks for this. Wondered why my mother in law was sending emails to her daughter in England about how "President Bush is getting more scary by the day." She sent me a copy by mistake and I've been wondering where this came from and now I know...Carmel/Monterey, CA LWV. I do also wish Sean Hannity could get this info on the radar screen.

Communist Goals (1963)
Documention below

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35

January 10, 1963

Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

 

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

We have to do our homework before we can trust or join anything anymore!

My parents must be geniuses. Over 30 years ago I was taught to question everything, especially if you plan on lending your support or good name. I was taught to trust my own opinions when I am informed of the subject.

I was also told to never leave a drink unattended at a party or accept a drink at a party from someone you don't know well or didn't witness the making of.

I was also taught that if you have sex you "will" get pregnant.


The biggest lesson in life is "Buyer Beware".

Basically I am responsible for me and my actions.

Good move, Bat lady. I always thought the L of WV was interested in women's voting rights, but I was wrong. They are totally left wing.

(one of my most favorite emails received!):


"A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich & more welfare programs. In the middle of her heart felt diatribe based upon the lectures she had from her far left professors at her school, he stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing in school.

She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have t ime for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying. She noted that she was taking a very difficult curriculum.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Mary."

She replied, "Mary is barely getting by". She continued, "all she has is barely a 2.0 GPA" adding, "and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies." But to explain further she continued emotionally, "But Mary is so very popular on campus, college for her is a blast, she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over."

Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only had a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter v isibly shocked by the fathers suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked real hard!"

The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Good for your parents! Unfortunately, a lot of today's young people were parented by the "If it feels good, do it" generation. Rebelling against "the Establishment" has been considered a good thing in itself without a lot of introspection about anyone's motives.

No disrespect, Bat Lady, but the League has been in league with the Left for years. If you are "cleaning house" on memberships, I also recommend dropping the PTA and the AAUW. They're all weaving the same web and their spiders have been drawing unsuspecting women in for the last 2 decades.

What an eye opener. It's hard to understand WHY today's JEWS support the leftist/socialists, anti-self protectionists.

Can anyone state WHY Jews are on the LEFT???? I just can't understand, can't understand.
