The Democrats are really socialists now

President Clinton tried to move the party to the center.

Uh, no. President Clinton was pushed to the center after the Republicans, led by New Gingrich, forced him there after the Republicans won both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years.

The Democrats disastrous mid-term losses in 1994 were directly attributed to first lady Hillary Clinton's failed attempt to take over the American healthcare system.

Scumbag Bill Clinton, the consummate pragmatist, realized that he had to move more to the center, even as he took credit for things like Welfare reform that Gingrich shoved down his throat.

Don’t forget that 0bama was a member of the Illinois New Party when he ran for state senate. The goal of the New Party is to get Socialists elected from within the Democrat Party.

Obama is more than just a standard socialist. He's a communist.

In any case....

I don't know if all the links still work, it's a post I put together awhile ago, but here it is...

Archives prove Obama was a New Party member (updated)
Thomas Lifson

Another piece in the puzzle of Barack Obama has been revealed, greatly strengthening the picture of a man groomed by an older generation of radical leftists for insertion into the American political process, trading on good looks, brains, educational pedigree, and the desire of the vast majority of the voting public to right the historical racial wrongs of the land.

The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within. The party only lasted until 1998, when its strategy of "fusion" failed to withstand a Supreme Court ruling. But dissolving the party didn't stop the membership, including Barack Obama, from continuing to move the Democrats leftward with spectacular success.

NOTE: As of today, June 10, 2009, DiscoverTheNetworks.org/FrontPageMag.com profile doesn't (yet?) include the latest revelation that (President) Obama was actually a member of the New Party. HOWEVER, he does link to several articles on the left side of the page that apparently do go into it in detail.-ETL

PROFILE: NEW PARTY (NP)
* Marxist political coalition
* Was active from 1992-1998
* Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996

Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party's short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party.

Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party's Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.

The New Party's modus operandi included the political strategy of "electoral fusion," where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates' platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states -- Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont -- but is common only in New York.)

Though Illinois was not one of the states that permitted electoral fusion, in 1995 Barack Obama nonetheless sought the New Party's endorsement for his 1996 state senate run. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

In 1996, three of the four candidates endorsed by the New Party won their electoral primaries. The three victors included Barack Obama (in the 13th State Senate District), Danny Davis (in the 7th Congressional District), and Patricia Martin, who won the race for Judge in the 7th Subcircuit Court. All four candidates attended an April 11, 1996 New Party membership meeting to express their gratitude for the party's support.

The New Party's various chapters similarly helped to elect dozens of other political candidates in a host of American cities.

One of the more notable New Party members was Carl Davidson, a Chicago-based Marxist who became a political supporter of Barack Obama in the mid-1990s.

In 1997 the New Party's influence declined precipitously after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that electoral fusion was not protected by the First Amendment's freedom of association clause. By 1998 the party was essentially defunct. Daniel Canto and other key party members went on to establish a new organization with similar ideals, the Working Families Party of New York.

In the end the outcome was predictable, and predictably depressing. Voting for Clinton while simultaneously supporting the local Republican Congressman was not contradictory. My personal favorite line: With these results, I'd better get some of that medicinal marijuana...

So we're back where we were a few days ago. Gingrich sets the agenda, Clinton rotates it a few degrees to make it palatable. Our task, and there are no shortcuts, is to build enough power to produce better choices in the future.

A few more steps down that road were taken by local New Party chapters on Tuesday. Here are some highlights:

Overall: Campaign finance led the way, with overwhelming victories in Arkansas and Massachusetts. Not counting Washington, DC's ANC races, NP members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, bringing our overall total to 110 victories in 163 races.

Arkansas: As local favorite Bill Clinton swept to victory under cloud of tainted contributions, an NP and ACORN-backed statewide initiative for real campaign finance reform won an overwhelming victory, outpolling Clinton and Perot combined. The measure lowers contribution limits to $300 for statewide candidates and $100 for state legislative and local candidates, grants a tax credit for small donors, and tightens reporting and disclosure requirements. It'll be a big step in leveling the playing field for grassroots candidates against their corporate funded opponents. And in the first city-wide victory for a New Party candidate in Little Rock, member Paul Kelly won an at-large City Council seat. He'll join NP members Gloria Wilson and Willie Hinton on the Council, with the potential for a strong progressive caucus. In a second at-large City Council race, NP member Genevieve Stewart made a strong showing. She finished third against 2 entrenched incumbents but built her name recognition and a base of support for a possible ward race for City Council next year. Finally, in a classic New Party vs. the Right Wing matchup, member Jayne Cia handily defeated the Arkansas state chair of Empower America (Bill Bennett's organization) for a seat on the County Board.

Illinois: The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a "Democratic Unity" march on Chicago's West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman). ..."

In 1980, as an investigative reporter for a state wide paper, I infiltrated a “NO PRESS” meeting of out states DSOC meeting. (Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee.)
It was shortly after Reagan’s first win, and after their White Haired Knight, Teddy K. had even lost their pres. primary.

The election of Reagan set the Socialist’s in America back big time. They met across the county to come up with a new strategy.

The main speaker at the meeting was, at that time, the leader of our state senate, a ‘democrat.” He came to the podium, took a card from his pocket, raised it and said: “I, like you, am a card carrying Socialist. But we are not yet strong enough to come out in the open. WE are going to have to infiltrate and take over the democrat party.”

Who can argue their success? (They have, since, moved into the GOP the same - )

Another part of their new strategy was “We must take over the pension plans.”

[all the best]

Flame away? Agree totally.

[chajin]

Hard to think that JFK, Humphrey, or Scoop Jackson would be cheering at a Sanders rally.

No, but Eugene McCarthy, RFK, George McGovern, and Henry Wallace would be. There has been a socialist wing of the Democratic Party for the better part of a century, but now all Democrats are one-winged creatures.

[americas.best.days...]

The democrats are really socialists now.

And the Republicans are really democrats.

So where does that leave conservatives?

Exactly.

[knarf]

face palm .... duuuhhhhhhh

[Mr. Jeeves]

I'd only offer one slight amendment to your profile:

"Two political gangs, the Corporatists (aka Fascists, who have taken over the Republican Party), and the Socialists (who have taken over the Democrat party) divide the political spoils between them, and make sure no outside candidate, or third political party can ever get elected-with a few minor exceptions".

We're Weimar Germany, now. Trump is not exactly Hitler, but one will eventually rise.

[tflabo]

Independent Dem ol’ jewish Bernie just voted in the senate for the Iran deal like a good, leftist lemming. Notice how all Independents align with DemoRats rarely ever crossing over the lines?

45 Communist Goals (1963)

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35

January 10, 1963

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. (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.

Bernie is a nice guy socialist.

The hard core socialists drag nice guy socialists like Bernie up to confess their bourgeois failings right before they execute them.

Bernie can run, but he will never govern.

Even if he wins the election.

Idiots like Bernie die in flaming infernos when they decide they’re going to play with the matches of communism.

[AndyJackson]

This piece is fatuous. Of course Bernie is a socialist and of course socialists believe in all of those things and of course right minded folks reel back in horror at the thought of it all.

Which is all meant to convince us we need to support the alternative - but the ballot box alternative is GOPe whose sole principal is to get the best deal they can while dealing with the democrats. That is not an alternative.

We all know what the democrats and socialists are. Folks like this need to spend their time fixing up a credible and reasonable alternative.

[goodwithagun]

Nah, the GOPe is socialist. The DNC is full blown commie.

[relictele]

If it’s possible to forget Marxism’s blood-soaked history for a moment, it’s easy to see how Sanders’ brand of socialism (and Labour’s Corbyn’s, for that matter) is so attractive to the ignorant and the lazy.

Sanders fans ARE ignorant and lazy, but at least they seem aware of it. To compensate and to cover up, they eat up all the rhetoric about big bad banks, corporations, etc. They believe McDonald’s is entirely capable of coercing people to eat hamburgers while pretending that government will kill an ant with a sledgehammer when it comes to a hundred dollars in honest arithmetic errors on a tax return or when government conducts East German-style checkpoints under the rubric of ‘safety’ is not coercion, merely ‘what a civilized society does.

[Capt. Tom]

We're Weimar Germany, now. Trump is not exactly Hitler, but one will eventually rise.

That is always a possibility.
I believe a big difference in this country and Germany is if an American Hitler type was to emerge we have a lot of internal strife that would play out in groups of citizens, internally fighting with other groups of citizens, ie whites , blacks Muslims, illegal aliens etc.
We are a mongrel society, the Germans weren't.

What has held us together, is a sense of being an American.
The American haters have successfully degraded that, and we have a lot of US Citizens who are not Americans.

Americans are US Citizens who love this country, and respect it's Constitution, and want it to be succssful.
A lot of US citizens don't feel that way today. -Tom

[roamer_1]

The Democrats are really socialists now

By and large, so are the Republicans.
