"Astounding, isn't it? Everything is being infiltrated"

The sad thing about it is most people refuse to believe this.

At least, there are a few of us, that know what is happening. It is up to us to convince the masses. I haven't had much luck , yet.

If for no other reason why don't you at least pick up and read George Orwell's Animal Farm. I think you will get a strong sense of deja vu.

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

When I attended the local position meeting on affordable housing and heard the lady in charge of the meeting quoting Karl Marx “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” and saying this was a Founding Fathers’ quote and what we fought the Revolutionary War about.... I have a BIG problem with that. I just hope she isn’t a school teacher!

Probably was.

I don't think that the "Communist Rules for Revolution" the same as "Communist Goals". Skousen, a former FBI agent, himself wrote of the "Communist goals" in 1958 in his book, The Naked Communist. That's why I mentioned his books previously. FReegards

How could any conservative ever belong to the League of Women Vipers?

They have never been anything but and advocacy group for socialism and communism.

How do you know?

There was a thread about a year ago or so that had documentation.

Look it up.

The Hadassah Women's Zionist organization is supposed to raise money to promote medical research for medical conditions that effect mainly children and women. They also actively support the Hadassah hospital in Israel which treats so many of the Israeli terror victims along with all the research and development. They are a very strong Pro-Israel organization here in the US. I have no problem with that.

you might check that link to the orgs on the CPUSA links page, they may be listed there too

Also after Hitler, it just amazes me how the Jews can support Dems who support gun control. You would think they would be AVID 2nd amendment people!!!

No wonder history repeats itself!

That list of Communist goals was entered into the Congressional record back in 1963 (I believe).

1st time I heard about it, I went to the Congressional Record and found it there.

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

Absolutely! Some of the most radical organizations in the country have the most innocent-sounding names like People for the American Way, American Civil Liberties Union, and many others whose activities are less well publicized. The Communist "front" organizations in the U.S. figured that out back in the 1920s.

It is disheartening to see, what used to be really good organizations, have joined the 'baddies' so to speak.

I can tell you from personal knowledge that the LWV was preaching Marxism and radical feminism as long ago as 1958. They "joined up" long ago.

That they did and possibly before '58. My mistake, was thinking that joining the LWV, in a mostly Republican area, was that that chapter would be different. It wasn't and I handed in my resignation after only a few months.

She could well be a teacher. She is probably also a great admirer of Malcolm the Tenth.

That is really scary. The 50's, the era of innocense in my mind. I always thought it mostly began in the 60's 'Flower Child' decade.

But like the general public, I was unaware for many years of the 'undercurrent' going on.

Last year a speaker from the League of Women Voters of Washington State came to my work to give a speech for Womens Equality Day.
She spoke to about 100 of us and it was all far leftist, I am a victim drivel. This woman went on to angerly declare that even today there is horrible gender discrimination in the workplace and quoted a recent poll that stated on average women earn 70 cents to a man's dollar.
Much to this woman's chugrin, I had read that poll and could no longer keep quiet. I raised my hand, and after she called on me, I pointed out that the poll she was citing was taken from randomly seleted women and men. Some women polled were probably stay at home wives/mothers and she was giving the wrong impression. Once the woman caught on to what I was saying, she tried to speak over me and call on someone else for a comment. I then raised my voice and stood up. I went on to say that studies have shown that men and women make about the same amount of money in the same fields of work. I forced the woman to admit that this poll was taken at random, then detailed to the audience why the poll does not show any gender wage disparity. I then asked her if she was aware of any studies that showed wage dispairies in the same field. She said she was sure they were out there but one did not come to mind. It really did not matter what she said after I was done speaking, her credibility was shot.
That miserable woman was so mad!
My co workers came up to me after the meeting and congratulated me for saying something.
That was a wonderful day!

Oh, I also picked up their phamplet and on the first page was contact information for the Democrats, Republicans, and Communist Party USA.

I strongly urge people in your apparent age group to read "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers since you're not taught real history in school. Communist penetration of U.S. institutions began shortly after the revolution in 1917 and the CPUSA organized a huge spy and propaganda organization here financed directly from Moscow by the Communist International (COMINTERN). One of its main objectives was (and remains) the subversion of American institutions like labor unions, media, universities, etc.

I also strongly recommend nearly any books by David Horowitz who was a Red Diaper Baby whose parents were Communists. Most young Americans have no idea how widespread the Communist-socialist rot is in this country and how it operates smoothly behind the scenes. Horowitz provides important insights.

I think the LWV was subverted long before 1958, like Planned Parenthood. The Communists were and are brilliant at concocting "socially responsible"-sounding names as cover for their devious activities. I mentioned that year because that was when I had my first brush with LWV and is agenda.

I used to help candidates fill out their surveys for that group's voter guide and had to deal with them more than once.

I generally found that the League of Women Voters leadership = a bunch of left wing middle aged unitarians who are all extremely unhappy with their lives and have made it a goal to share their collective misery with as many persons as possible. They were also the types who think that more abortions are the answer to everything (i.e. a comet could collide with Mars and they'd claim it was because there weren't enough abortion clinics there).

They also were letting the democrats use this "ethics panel" thing that they set up to smear republican candidates. It was basically a LWV kangaroo court (run of course by the same leftist unitarian banshees) in which the dems could come file a "campaign ethics" complaint against their republican challengers, and then the LWV would rule against the republican and issue a press release condemning him.

Republicans could make complaints against the dems as well but the LWV always ruled against them. In one case I know of, a Republican candidate for the legislature had several of his campaign signs vandalized by the democrat opponent's volunteers. They spray painted obscenities and the word "fag" all over the signs (so much for those oh-so-tolerant leftists!) and the LWV turned down the complaint. But in another case they ruled against a Republican because some completely unrelated PAC in Austin had sent out an endorsement list to voters that had his name on it and the dems claimed it was an unfair campaign finance reform violation. You are making a good move by quiting that League of Socialists. Spread the word.
