Carol Browner a Socialist? By Doug Bandow on 1.12.09 @ 6:16PM

There's a tendency of conservatives to carelessly toss about the "S" word. Like John McCain, who opposed the Bush tax cuts while spouting left-wing rhetoric, then accusing Barack Obama of being a socialist because the latter proposed to increase taxes on the rich.

CHANGE looks a whole like the Clinton error, except with more prominence of the pinkos.

Despite the Left wanting to suggest that the term “Communist” is so old-fashioned, and that the term “socialist” is just a scare tactic, the two terms are valid. Browner is a socialist....no question about it.

...Carol Browner really is a socialist. Or at least, she belonged to the Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which is part of the Socialist International.

The money line.

Note also:

Oddly enough, the group's web site was recently scrubbed to remove Browner's picture and biography, but her name is still listed next to the photo-biographies of her 14 colleagues on the commission.

Carol Browner is a Stalinist. She clearly obstructs justice to pursue her agenda, destroying her EPA hard drive in 2000 when Slick Willie was getting ready to ooze out of the White House.

Until the media reports that Communism is every bit as vile as Nazism, they will continue to pretend that Communism and Socialism are valid alternatives to "capitalism" and liberty.

California Dems Introduce Bill To Allow Communist Indoctrination in Public Schools (Little Green Footballs 3-06-08 Charles Johnson)

Here’s the PDF file: sb_1322_bill_20080220_introduced.pdf

(1) The Civic Center Act requires the governing body of a school district to grant the use of school property, when an alternative location is not available, to nonprofit organizations, and clubs or associations organized to promote youth and school activities. Existing law also prohibits an individual, society, group, or organization from using school property for the commission of any act intended to further a program or movement the purpose of which is to accomplish the overthrow of the government of the United States or of the state by force, violence, or other unlawful means.

This bill would permit the school board to require the furnishing of information as it deems necessary to determine that the use of school property for which application is made would not violate that provision. This bill would also delete provisions regarding a person who intends to use school property on behalf of an organization to deliver a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the organization is not a Communist action organization or Communist front organization required to be registered with the Attorney General of the United States or does not, to the best of that person’s knowledge, advocate the overthrow of the government of the United States or of the State of California by force, violence, or other unlawful means.

(2) Under existing law, a permanent or classified school employee, or a classified community college employee may be dismissed from employment for specified causes, including, but not limited to, commission of a felony.

This bill would delete provisions that a permanent or classified school employee, or a classified community college employee may be dismissed from employment if he or she is a knowing member of the Communist Party

(3) Existing law prohibits a teacher from giving instruction and prohibits a school district from sponsoring any activity that reflects adversely upon a person because of his or her race, sex, color, creed, handicap, national origin, or ancestry.

This bill would delete provisions that prohibit a teacher giving instruction in a school or on property belonging to an agency included in the public school system from teaching communism with the intent to indoctrinate or to inculcate in the mind of any pupil a preference for communism. The bill would also delete provisions that a teacher may be dismissed from employment if he or she teaches communism in that way.

(4) Under existing law, a public employee is required to answer, under oath, specified questions, including, but not limited to, knowing membership in an organization advocating the forceful or violent overthrow of the government of the United States or of any state.

This bill would delete these provisions. The bill would also delete related findings and declarations by the Legislature regarding communism and the Communist Party.

The Communist Party has a history of this sort of thing:

So, why not? If the POTUS-elect is a socialist himself, is it all that surprising that he would want to surround himself with like-minded sycophants?

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES...too bad most people don’t take them seriously.

Kool aid, anyone?

"[McCain] accusing Barack Obama of being a socialist because the latter proposed to increase taxes on the rich."

Must-see video of Obama campaigning for Socialist Bernie Sanders in 2006. Says we need people like Bernie to "shake things up in Washington".

Quoted from the Foxnews website about this communist:

Browner, formerly the longest serving administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, having served under President Bill Clinton, worked on Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which argues that the global community must work collectively to address environmental policies.

Certainly explains the EPA's agenda don't ya think?

Socialist International has many other questionable principles. Principle 14:

"Justice and Equality. Justice means the end of all discrimination against individuals, and the equality of rights and opportunities. It demands compensation for physical, mental and social inequalities, and freedom from dependence on either the owners of the means of production or the holders of political power."

Reparations on top of socialism.
