There are ten easy steps toward a progressive-socialist-Marxist civil society: change the popular consensus; destroy Christianity, the traditional family, and existing social mores; transform the culture; install a radical Left mind-control; attain political power; impose strict control of the military and law enforcement; restrict freedom; socialize the economy; erase American sovereignty; and embrace a world without borders.

A Nation of Frogs William W. BorstMindszenty Report | January 2003 Just recently, I was discussing the tax system with my attorney who had just completed my mother's estate. When I informed him of the Marxist underpinnings of, not only the so-called "death tax," but also the graduated income tax, he was shocked. He had no idea that Karl Marx had wriuen the major elements in the tax code with which he had been working his entire professional life. All one has to do is read the Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in 1848. The...

There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. “The Sixties are dead,” wrote columnist George Will (”Slamming the Doors,” Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991). Because the New Left lacked cohesion, it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single-issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace’ activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay’ rights groups. All...

It sometimes happens that the worst characteristic of an otherwise valuable book is its title. Such is the case with Paul Gottfried’s latest work, The Strange Death of Marxism. Instead of Marxism’s obituary, what Gottfried has actually written is the story of its transmutation into—well, into exactly what remains in dispute. Whatever it might best be called, it is clearly the basis for the political correctness and multiculturalism that have become the state ideology in most of Europe and the United States. Along the way, Gottfried does chronicle the death of classical, economic Marxism-Leninism both in and beyond European Communist...

Forget the media chin-stroking and head-scratching. The intentions behind the administration's decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his sideboys in Manhattan could not be clearer. Simply put, Obama wishes to Mirandize the entire murderous crew. I'm using that term as shorthand for the liberal tendency -- not to say "compulsion" -- to treat all underdogs as victims no matter what the circumstances. In the liberal worldview, criminals are the ultimate underdogs, romantic rebels with all the power of society ranged against them. The liberal role in this regard is to help even the odds, to protect and nurture the criminal...

This lying communist bastard needs to be run out of Dodge on a rail! This IS America!! Land of Freedom!! You don't like it move to Russia. No wait, they're going Capitalist. Move to China... oops. Try Cuba or Venezuela!

SAN DIEGO, California, July 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The general counsel for the National Education Association (NEA), America's largest teacher's union, complained last week of the "conservative and right-wing bastards" that are "after" the NEA. At the same meeting, the NEA rejected a proposal that would have ceased their abortion advocacy, and went on record in support of same-sex "marriage." "We are not paranoid, someone really is after us," said General Counsel Bob Chanin in an address to NEA affiliates on the occasion of his retirement. "Why are these conservative and right-wing bastards picking on NEA and its affiliates? I...

ANAHEIM, CA - Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says it's "heresy" to believe that an individual can be saved through a sinner's prayer of repentance. In her opening address to the church's General Conference in California, Jefferts Schori called that "the great Western heresy: that we can be saved as individuals, that any of us alone can be in right relationship with God." The presiding bishop said that view is "caricatured in some quarters by insisting that salvation depends on reciting a specific verbal formula about Jesus." According to Schori, it is heresy to believe that an individual's prayer...

A hardcore pornographic movie was accidentally screened at PS 17 in Brooklyn, N.Y., school officials said. Students from five classes at the school had assembled to watch "Camp Rock," a Disney Channel movie starring the Jonas Brothers, but after a teacher powered up the DVD player and walked away to get the Disney movie, a skin flick began to play, the New York Post reported Sunday. The students, some as young as 5-years-old, were exposed to 45-seconds of sex acts in the incident late last month, the newspaper said. "My son told his friend he saw a naked lady at...

THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS IN A BULLFIGHT . . . And it's the bull. So far, Obama's picadors and toreadors have stabbed, slashed, and otherwise compromised the bull of American capitalism. Don't kid yourself: they're going for the kill. Most of the crowd is cheering, but a few are starting to figure out that when this bull is gone, there is no more meat, ever. Moreover, a few are actually starting to worry about what it will be like to be the next "bull" when this one is gone---because there will be another bull. The unbelievably idiotic and dangerous decision...

EVERYONE knew. When the Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse issued its report this week, after nine years of investigation, the Irish collectively threw up their hands in horror, asking that question we have heard so often, from so many parts of the world, throughout the past century: How could it happen? Surely the systematic cruelty visited upon hundreds of thousands of children incarcerated in state institutions in this country from 1914 to 2000, the period covered by the inquiry, but particularly from 1930 until 1990, would have been prevented if enough right-thinking people had been aware of what was...

An extension of the Hate Crimes law recently passed the House of Representatives which will essentially codify into national law the "speech codes" that are smothering academic freedom on college campuses today. This law is the back door method Obama and his fellow socialists will use to stifle free speech in this country, as explained in an informative article by Jerry Kane at American Daughter. To heck with the "Fairness Doctrine." Who needs to limit censorship to the airwaves? This legislation will silence anyone who disagrees with them. Hate crimes legislation has its roots in the communist-inspired, so-called Frankfurt School...

A campus Christian group that receives funding from the student activity fee is coming under scrutiny after a student was asked by advisors to step down from its leadership team when he told them that he had openly accepted his homosexuality. This incident is also raising questions about the effectiveness of campus mechanisms for addressing instances of discrimination. Chris Donohoe ’09, who joined the Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship when he was a freshman, said he had been openly struggling to reconcile his sexuality with his faith in Chi Alpha before he was asked to step down from the leadership team...

From CatholicInsight.com Features The Frankfurt School: Conspiracy to corrupt By Timothy Matthews Hardcopy Issue Date: March 2009 Online Publication Date: Mar 17, 2009, 22:36 Western civilization at the present day is passing through a crisis which is essentially different from anything that has been previously experienced. Other societies in the past have changed their social institutions or their religious beliefs under the influence of external forces or the slow development of internal growth. But none, like our own, has ever consciously faced the prospect of a fundamental alteration of the beliefs and institutions on which the whole fabric of social...

MOBILE — Former Mobile County Circuit Judge Herman Thomas has been arrested and faces a 57-count indictment on charges including sodomy, kidnapping, extortion and violating Alabama’s ethics law.---------- snip The indictments accuse the former judge of sexually abusing inmates from Mobile Metro Jail. The indictments say Thomas paddled the inmates and in at least one case forced a young man to perform oral sex on him.

In retrospect, we may discover that 1883 was a most significant year. We're familiar with 1848 giving us The Communist Manifesto and 1859 giving us The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, but 1883 gave us three portentous happenings. These seemingly unrelated happenings turned history toward socialism. 1. Karl Marx died on March 14, 1883, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery in London, England. The assumption that Communism died with him was logical since only six people attended his funeral. But the truth is that it had...

Whether they call themselves Communists, Marxists, Socialists, Liberals or Progressives, it’s really just a distinction without a difference. I know there are subtle differences but they’re mostly inconsequential. The goal is the same, but some titles are more comfortable than others aren’t they? “No, I’m not a Marxist! Because…well…I don’t call myself a Marxist. No, no I’m a Progressive.” Whatever comrade, call yourself a Twinkie if you like, it changes nothing. It’s your objectives that matter, and we know what they are so you’re not fooling anyone who is paying attention. But that is exactly the problem isn’t it? Who...

“ Until now,” wrote Joseph Comte de Maistre ( 1753- 1821), who for 15 years was a Freemason, “ nations were killed by conquest, that is by invasion: But here an important question arises; can a nation not die on its own soil, with­out resettlement or invasion, by al­lowing the flies of decomposition to corrupt to the very core those original and constituent principles which make it what it is...”

After observing the growth of Barack Hussein Obama’s increasingly militant and dictatorial movement over the last several months, I have—on many occasions—been reminded of the infamous Russian tyrant Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. As the actual facts about Stalin may now have been omitted from US middle and high school teaching textbooks, I’ll provide a brief summary of Stalin’s achievements. One major difference between Obama and Stalin, however, is that Stalin is said to have gradually increased power within the Soviet Union’s Communist Party. Obama is grabbing it immediately and will keep his power in place via his “Truth Squads”, his militant...

Ronald Reagan was a true advocate of individual freedom and capitalism. He was all that is great about America. In this video he says the following that rings true with what is happening today; “Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people would adopt every fragment of the socialist program.”

We’re utterly fascinated by this. In 2004, we don’t remember hearing about anyone scared Kerry was going to take their guns away - and we worked Pennsylvania for Kerry (Pittsburgh area). There were a lot of gun shops and firing ranges there, and we never heard anything about people stocking up on guns because they were scared Kerry was going to try to take them away. Obama is perceived as more liberal than Kerry, and in fact the most liberal Democrat that’s run for president in as long as anyone can remember. Biden as VP makes this the most liberal...

Proof is in the Public Record. “The public record is our only proof,” says former Naval Intelligence Officer Marion Valentine. “In 1963, while serving in Navy Intelligence (1958-1967), I read the FBI file on Frank Marshall Davis. He had outlined the Communist plan to take over America from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office. “I have researched every piece of legislation I can find that the Liberal Democrats have passed since the early sixties, and...

Evidence continues to mount that Barack Obama had substantial help from Bill Ayers in the creation of his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, a book that Time Magazine has called "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The evidence falls into five general categories, here summarized. * The discovery of new matching nautical metaphors from both Ayers and Obama that almost assuredly came from the same source: Ayers, a former merchant seaman. * The discovery of a Bill Ayers' essay on memoir writing, whose postmodern themes and phrases are echoed throughout Dreams. * A newly discovered book...

Why is it that Blacks such as Ron Walters refer to the church the Rev. Wright preached the gospel in, as a "Black Church." Barack Obama, however, is another case. The massive vilification of Trinity and Rev. Wright and the gross misunderstanding of the Black church have me wondering why “the Black church” does not throw the considerable arms of love support and power behind them. It is patently clear, for example, that no other church with the stature of Trinity would be so maligned without a considerable pushback from the community they represent. The media simply does not understand...

Are We in a Cold Civil War? Is the Church? Filed under: Uncategorized — Hierothee @ 1:37 am The way this election cycle is going, it is perhaps more apparent than ever that there are two Americas, and neither America is particularly interested in being governed by the other. This is why both McCain and Obama supporters are hostile and angry about the coming election. There are some interesting commentaries and analyses on the web at present trying to understand this phenomenon. One such analysis comes from the Canadian political commentator David Warren. Mark Steyn, a British essayist who lives...

Outside of stump speeches, carefully scripted responses to reporters, and the endless recitation of talking points, there are a few moments when a politician speaks from the heart. It is in these moments when true motivations and core beliefs are often revealed. Such a moment occurred this past weekend, when Barack Obama unveiled his socialist leanings and gave a clue to the American people about what Obama is all about. But, are the American people listening? Have they become so duped by the rhetoric of "hope" and "change" that they don't see the train wreck that's about to happen? Our...

In certain unscripted moments, Barack Obama has given us a glimpse of his socialist inclinations, but I wonder what percentage would vote for him if they truly understood the extent of his radicalism. Yet the financial crisis has created a climate of fear and uncertainty and unleashed an unprecedented tolerance for large-scale government intervention, which is playing perfectly into Obama's hands. People are blaming this largely Democratic-spawned mess on Republicans because Bush is still president. Maybe I'm being too much of an alarmist, but I'm worried for the first time in my life that the election of a presidential candidate...

History repeats itself in various ways. Names, locations, and events differ, but the results are the same. Regrettably, like Nostradamus’ prophecies, historical relevance may be recognized only after the event or events have occurred. Worried that today’s troublesome geopolitical/economic situation mirrors that of the 1930s, I have been prompted to reflect on the similarities between today’s leaders and those who influenced that bleak time in history. Are we repeating the missteps of the 1930s? Like others, I have found myself equating Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler, and it is true that there are many reasons for this. But now I...

The Obama campaign, drawing upon the candidate’s community organizing experience, is also looking toward the grassroots. Unity for Change house parties across the country on June 28 will bring neighbors together for voter registration and getting out the vote. A national coalition of peace and economic rights organizations is also gearing up for grassroots voter registration and mobilization. Planned Parenthood Action is launching a One Million Strong Know McCain campaign with house parties June 14-20. A host of creative projects to expose McCain’s record are being launched online. African American, Latino and youth voters who could be decisive in this...

Is it me or does my 4th Grade son's agenda notebook (which is provided by the government school in Virginia) have some not so subtle messages. Please let me know if I'm just being over-sensitive since I'm in the military and a little paranoid about the socialistst trying to take over our schools.

Obama is saying that if the Bush Administration is going to help Wall Street that the government should help bail out Americans who are in trouble as well.. On all channels right now...news channels

Socialism and capitalism are two doctrines which preach equality for individuals, but in two drastically different respects. Capitalism preaches equality for all IN the system (free market), and socialism preaches equality in the DISTRIBUTION of the final product (after the work is done). Both systems seem fair, one for the opportunity to work, and one for the equal treatment of the distribution after the fact. Barack Obama has used terms such as “economic justice”, “redistributing the pie”, and “fairness” when describing what are essentially socialist tendencies. Obama wants to taxes the wealthy and redistribute the money to the poor under...

As a Tennessean I was extremely excited that the Presidential debates would be coming to the bright red state of Tennessee. I was even more excited at the thought that finally some "REAL" people would get to ask questions of the candidates. This time the Obama-backing media would have a counterbalance. Indeed, this time, this time John McCain would have a homecourt advantage so to speak. John McCain would be in the state that supports him most. Whats more, the McCain friendly crowd would get to ask some questions. I told my wife to arrange for someone to watch my...

The Chicago Anenberg Challenge was supposed to be all about educational reform. The original funds from Annenberg were $50-60 mil. With ensuing fundraising efforts, that tally ended at approx $160 mil. However over $100 mil of that went to political purposes via community organizing and campaigns for LSC friendly candidates that Ayers/Obama supported for educational reform in Chicago schools. Since Ayers and Obama teamed up for educational reform, just what kind of "reform" (which ended in failure) was Obama helping Ayers attempt to achieve? For that we dig back to a 2006 interview between William Ayers, and Venezuelan socialist Luis...

Bogus or real propaganda (from the secret communist headquarters in 1919), the following rules for revolution suggest to us Americans that change may be right around corner of the upcoming election. Each requirement for revolution has already been met by the liberals’ socialist agenda. A. Corrupt the young. Get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness. ( today’s culture ) B. Get control of all means of publicity and thereby: 1. Get people’s minds off their government. Get them interested in sex, books and plays (films and T.V. and music) and other...

In a recent post I referred to a speech unrepentant domestic terrorist and Obama associate Bill Ayers delivered in Caracas, Venezuela, to the 2006 World Education Forum, sponsored by UNESCO. His text is full of Marxist rhetoric, but that's just Marxist Ayers being Ayers. He's also a professor of education, and there's nothing unusual about his presence at a global forum on education sponsored by an arm of the United Nations. But dig down below the topsoil, and you will discover that the ties between Ayers and Chavez run deeper than his appearance at an academic forum which just happened...

I submitted a post on September 26 of this year entitled, “Has America Been Defeated Without a Shot Being Fired?”. Since then our leaders in Washington have given themselves the power over citizens property and their money by way of controlling our financial institutions. All of America is outraged and calling it ‘socialism’ but, I believe, it goes much deeper and is more sinister than socialism. It is the first implementation of Communism. Since President Reagan brought the Soviet Union to it’s knees by using their economic system against them, the Soviet Communists along with Communist China learned a valuable...

Soros is pushing for nationization of everything...wants tax money to support banks...and basically the Government will control the financial markets.

There's a lot of frustration among conservatives over how Barack Obama's radical past seems to be making no impact whatsoever among the American public. His connection to communists in particular, from communist-terrorists like Bill Ayers to the communist agitator-journalist Frank Marshall Davis to fellow travelers like Saul Alinsky, has simply failed to resonate beyond the political right. Quite the contrary, the more information that becomes available on Obama's radical associations, the more he seems to widen his lead over John McCain, a man who was tortured by communists in Vietnam. I understand these frustrations completely. I'm also not surprised. I...

The Toledo Blade's lead editorial on Sunday, October 12, is a seeming plea to institute in America a chief communist principle: the "right" to a job. As anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the Constitution knows, of course, there is no such "right." Nor should there be. But this hasn't stopped the Toledo Blade from pushing this anti-American notion and pleading for Barack Obama to take it up anyway. Basing its article on the failed ides of FDR, our most socialist president, The Blade revisits Roosevelt's showy, populist idea of creating a "second Bill of Rights" giving Americans a...

NEW YORK (AFP) — A rare bird in the political world, the US Communist Party is feeling rather smug in these days of capitalist turmoil. At the party's New York headquarters on 23rd Street in Manhattan, regional party chairman Libero Della Piana, 36, laid out why he thinks Marxist-Leninism's time has finally come. "We are very excited, we feel that we are at a turning point," Della Piana, an imposing half-Italian, half-African American with a pony tail, told AFP. "We can afford to be less on the defensive for the first time since Ronald Reagan, and we can say our...
