I know that this list has been posted on FR before--probably many times. If JR wants to take this post down as a duplicate, he is certainly free to do so. But in light of the number of brain-dead fools lurking on FR these days who take their cues on personal freedom from Larry Flynt and not from the Founding Fathers and traditional American morality, I feel it is a good time to post and discuss this list again.
While some of the goals on this list are out-of-date historically speaking, many are in the process of being accomplished right now under our very noses. On the whole, the list provides a checklist for how to undermine a nation and set it up for destruction. Perhaps it would be good if folks read down this list and reflected on how their statements and actions might be contributing to the accomplishment of our enemies' goals.
[Bold is mine]

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.
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.
Very good post/reminder. Thanks.
DEPOPULATE socialists/totalitarians from the body politic. C’mon November!
We need to stop allowing the separation of social and fiscal conservatism. In reality, one cannot exist without the other and labeling them as separate is nothing more than an attempt to divide.
I challenge anyone to show me a fiscal only conservative or a social only conservative. No such animal exists.
Thank you for the post. It was extremely hard for me to read it. I had to pause a few times just to cope with the vivid remembrance of 30 years living under socialist/communist regime.
This is exactly how they think, how they act, up until they destroy you, enslave you, and at the end steal your soul, too.
I noticed for a long time that this is coming to America and unfortunately most people in America seems to be to ignorant to believe it. If the advance of socialism, communism and fascism is not stopped very soon, then the suffering of people will be huge, included those useful idiots who advocated for leftist ideology.
“I challenge anyone to show me a fiscal only conservative or a social only conservative. No such animal exists.”
Correct!
Good post!
See post number 3. Santorum had nothing to do with the thread but some can’t resist a chance to take a swing at a Christian.

Santo is a Union Stooge as is Willard Romney and don’t be fooled.. Barak Obama is too as well..
What do Santo, WIllard and BArry have in common?... UNIONS!!!!.
The House of Cards is stacked against old Newtie..
He is the ONLY one that threatens and is able to blow on this house of cards..
NO Newt.. Obama WINS... he will BBQ especially Santo and Willard too..
Newt is fighting the Obama Juggernaut AND the Republican Party.. and even Ron Paul..
NO Newt... the Obamaoid WINS.. (like 2008)
Willard is the NEW Juan McLaim.. and Santo is the NEW Sissy Graham..
Thank you for posting this, Antoninus.
It's been pointed out by a lot of people here that the decline in moral values and the family is the reason that we are in so much of an economic and fiscal mess. But it's not just limited to "fiscal" issues, and also extends to the other leg of Reagan's stool--national defense. If a country becomes weak and decadent, it's not going to defend itself, and it will fold when it encounters hardship. Besides, is a society like that worth defending anyway?
Our national faith brought many blessings from God and our prosperity has helped to spread the Gospel to the far corners of the globe. Our moral people, missions work, and our alliance with Israel were fundamental to these blessings.
One must question if we are still a Godly nation when you watch TV or examine our culture. There is a growing disdain for Israel in our nation - not just our politicians. There is a growing disdain for God and his laws in our nation - not just our politicians. We live in a nation where our fellow citizens increasingly worship materialism and darkness.
It takes wealth to support foreign missions and a military. We are squandering our wealth on the progressive agenda and weakening our engine of prosperity with an out of control government. With our spriraling national debt and decreased income it will be difficult to sustain our military and foreign missions. Our nation grows weary of overseas entanglements with Afghanistan and Iraq. That lessens the likelihood that we will come to the defense of Israel - the little nation that dominates the bible and the news.
I share your faith. However, in a biblical sense I think it’s difficult to disagree with what I wrote above. I don’t say that in despair. We must keep our faith in God and not politicians because the direction of our nation is determined by the sum of it’s parts. You and I are in the minority, but we know how the story of this world will end and the next begin.
I appreciate your optimism and support your desire to get our nation back on track. We talk about big issues here on FR and our nation faces huge problems. However, I believe the biggest problem our nation faces is in the heart of individuals and that can’t be changed by government or politicians.
@ Post 23
Outstanding!. Those who lived under communism/fascism comprehend how evil it really is. Those who study the world understand that we are moving towards the same ideology of statism.
We would be wise to heed your words. Thank you.
“Pastor “Little Ricky” and other nasty names.....sad.
I know several people that lived under communist rule, and every one of them see us slipping into it, day by day, and they are mortified!
I think that a lot of the discounting of the necessity of Christianity to society is due to the revisionist and misinterpreted history that is presented to most of us.
Because of this distorted history, most people that think our advanced civilization was built by the Enlightenment and its principles. Instead, it was really built by Christianity.
You are welcome to your opinion, which appears to be that you want the federal government to regulate personal morality.
I disagree -- I believe that if any government can legitimately claim that power, it is the State or Local government, not the federal.
Your attempt to smear everyone who does not subscribe to your personal code of what is and is not "obscene" with the label "Communist" is unappreciated by those of us who believe that the Constitution was written to establish a limited federal government with certain enumerated powers and very strict limits.
The Constitutional powers of the federal government are found in the Constitution, not your personal moral code. I do not find "regulate personal morality at the federal level" anywhere in the Constitution.
That power belongs at the State and Local levels. That was my underlying point in my earlier comments on the Santorum thread (2860230).
I will respectfully ask you to withdraw your unjustified smear, at least as it applies to me, now. Thank you.
"We would be wise to heed your words. Thank you."
Thank you. I will keep on spreading the word. I did that as soon I stepped (legally) on American soil , and will do it ‘till my last breath.
