Understanding "The Left-Wing Liberals": Essential Reading Materials for Understanding the Opponent
Various | 07/17/2002 | Wayne_Shrugged

Posted on 07/17/2002 9:59:31 PM PDT by wayne_shrugged

As a survivor of many years of the brain-washing that I received at the hands of the left-wingers/"liberals"/American socialists/communists, including but not limited to public school teachers and administrators, college professors, the media, e.g., the 'affable Eva Braun' (as a tribute to the beautiful, talented and, more importanly, INTELLIGENT Ann Coulter, I footnote her description here), here are the books that I recommend to others in order to understand the psyche and dementia of the radical "left-wing Atheists" (aka "liberals" [BTW, if you want to know just how "liberal" a "liberal" really is -- try disagreeing with him/her! -- that's my true litmus test...]:

1. The fairy tale: "The Emperor's New Clothes" (Read while thinking: Bill Clinton = "America's First Black President"; Al Gore = "He's SO *INTELLIGENT* that His ONLY Problem with Be Connecting with the *AVERAGE* American Voter...; HITLERY = It Takes a Village to Raise My Daughter...);

2. "The Naked Communist" by C. Skousen, 1963 [Text below: each point has already been implemented or is in the process of being implemented.];

3. "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right," by Ann Coulter, 2002.

Remember: Communism = Socialism with a gun and you w/o yours!

========================================================

[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.

Aside from understanding the Left, we need to understand how to beat them. I suggest 2 books by David Horowitz, The Art of Political War and How to Beat the Democrats. Both tell you what the left does and what the Right needs to do to stop them in their tracks.

It's an old book and J Edgar Hoover has been turned into a laughing stock by the "open-minded" libbies, but Masters of Deceit was an interesting read, as I remember it from many years ago.

Moronic libs have demonstrated these in spades. The kind of culture they promote is totally absurd.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

I'll support this one.

BTW, instead of reading books about what conservatives think of liberals why not read books by liberals for liberals? I think that you'd get more insight on the liberal mind reading "The Big One" by Michael Moore or "Unsafe at Any Speed" by Ralph Nader then you would get from reading a red-baiting piece written in '63.

Do away with loyalty oaths? Do you mean oaths like this: " I swear to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". Is this an oath you would do away with, given that all federal elected official are required to swear by it? Why? Is it because most elected federal officials effectively lie when they take this oath by way of subsequent actions? Or is it because you don't believe in the U.S. constitution?

Do away with loyalty oaths?

Yes. Oaths of loyalty, obiediance, service, etc. are simple ceremony. When a person takes up a position or the mantle of office, the responsibility that accompanies it is not increased by an oath of office and a dishonest man will not be bound by his word.

Or is it because you don't believe in the U.S. constitution?

Careful there Sonny Jim, a person might take offfense at a question like that.

It seems that you are holding on tightly to days gone by. This country had taken on much of its socialist programs when FDR was trying to pull the country back up from the great depression... and it wasnt untill this century that we were saying "one nation under god" with our right hands over our hearts. I'm not buying the red baiting. I think that the continued hyper focus on a dying enemy may have led to poor intellegence regarding our present ones. As far as ugly or freakish art, what is the rule of thumb? Is Carvaggio okay, but Matisse not? Or perhaps you take issue with Warhol and "Pop" art.. or rather you find Jackson Pollock difficult to endure. Or rather you are more disturbed by more controversial images as presented by someone like Robert Maplethorp. I think we owe it to our nation to hold fast to the wisdom of the great men, though mortal and fallable like Thomas Jefferson. I believe he is credited with saying something like "an educated mind is the guardian genius of democracy".

Since all naturalized U.S. citizens currently take a similar oath, they might find it hard to get their citizenship without it. How can any person ever be successfully prosecuted for treason, as mentioned in the constitution, if they are never required to awknowledge a loyalty to the constitution, if you had your way?

I have never had to take a binding oath to the Constitution, so far as I know this doesn't make me less loyal or devoted to maintaining the Union. Were I to betray it, I could still be tried and convicted for treason. As for citizenship; I think that if a person has shown enough determination to become an American citizen and met the requirements, then an oath is just a usless formality.

Check out the 6th article of the U.S. constitution. The 6th article of the constitution REQUIRES that an oath of loyalty to the constitution be taken by all high level state and federal government officials. Also, I stated that it would be virtually impossible to successfully prosecute(aka convict) people for treason in the absence of an oath of loyalty. It is easy to prosecute someone for treason, but convicting them requires proof first that a person is at least a liar or hypocrite. A demonstrated act that breaks an oath of loyalty is the necessary proof needed for conviction.

Could this be because you are a red yourself, newbie? You must think that the Cold War is truly over. You should rethink that position.

Besides, Sen. McCarthy was right, you know.

I'm not disputing that, but I do think that they're unnecessary.

A demonstrated act that breaks an oath of loyalty is the necessary proof needed for conviction.

Tokyo Rose was convicted of treason, as was a Japanese-American who participated in the inhuman medical experiments that the Japanese conducted in China. So far as I know, neither of these people swore any sort of oath.

Hardly, I probably like big government less than most of you under any guise. I do believe in freedom of speech and I am very much a believer in popular soverignty. I can see where the spread of Communism on a global level could have posed an economic threat and definately a military one as much as the spread of Fascism through Europe could have if it went on unchecked. However, part of being a resonable person is the ability to ask why. For instance, South Vietnam probably wouldn't have needed our help if it could have made a larger dent in its farmers ability to cover Maslow's basic heiarchy of needs. If a man can't provide for his family, he is apt to turn to desperate measures. When the commies in the north at least promised them some of thier own rice back, we didnt have much chance to sway thier hearts and minds. However, when the Communists begin to have a hard time meeting thier expectations, it doesnt take much to see thier hold begin to crumble. Never mind the fact that the average human doesn't perform at its best under the yolk of slavery. Sure, you make work like a dog with a gun in your back for your daily ration, however meager, but you are not going to get the best that the mind that drives the hand has to offer. The enterprising American however is going to wring his mind for a profitable idea in order to get ahead, provided he is not so comfortable he does not see the need. Was McCarthy right? I don't think so. Our President's grandfather didnt. What good can Hollywood find in reducing the capitol that it can bring in from the consuming public can bring in, or that it can play with? Part of the beauty of an ideal America is that you can have fringe dissent, and it will still survive. How many ex hippy pinkos are at the bottom of thier second or third luxury vehicle these days? I think that says a lot about how enduring Communism can be in the land of milk and honey (relatively speaking..). As far as the threat of the Russians militarily goes, understand that they whole time they were operating from a position of fear in as much as they didnt believe that thier chances of beating us head on were exactly strong.

As far as good intel on the enemy in the war on terror is concerned, if it werent for our interests in seeing the Afghanis hand the Russians thier own personal Vietnam back in the day, we probably wouldnt know as much as we do about the area. I doubt we had anybody operating on the inside, at least not very effectively. If that were the case and we did, then something went terribly wrong on Sept. 11th beside the obvious that we all got to see live on TV. I think the Iraqi thing seems to much like the completion of unfinished Bush business if that is where we stop. If youre going to be a bear, be a grizley. Don't stop untill the threat is over. I dont think it ends there. I do think it ends with the crushing of fundamentalist extremism and with the advancement of literacy and self determination of those who live in the shadow religious dictatorships and oligarchies. But thats just me. The red thing is not the same as it was. We have China and North Korea to worry about, but its not like "the good ole days". Russia is in a strange place right now, and it could likely be seen as a breeding ground for someone like a future Hitler for a plethora of reasons, but our biggest worry from them right now are ex KGB trying to be good ole capitolists with the Russian military inventory. Its not a safe world, but its not the 60's either. And in short, I am no more a red than you are a Hollywood celebrity.

I'm cracking up here.

I doubt we had anybody operating on the inside, at least not very effectively.

Yeah, thanks to the Torricelli idea.

The red thing is not the same as it was.

Yes it is. Have you been paying attention to China lately? Also, when was the last time you sat in class at a college or university? I recently completed my MA in I.S., and even in that field the reds are in total and complete control, nevermind the so called "humanities."

Anyway, let me ask again in case you missed it. Do you really think that the Cold War is over?
