Sisters in Communism
American Spectator ^ | July 19, 2013 | Paul Kengor

People’s World is the flagship publication of Communist Party USA, and the successor publication to the Daily Worker. It recently carried back-to-back articles that were very revealing of a dubious but old tradition among the American left. To wit: America’s communists have always found allies—useful idiots, dupes—among the liberal/progressive left, the mainstream Democratic Party, and (especially) the religious left. As to the latter, I’m ever reminded of the words of the late Herb Romerstein, who told me: “The religious left; they were the biggest suckers of them all.”

Relatives are part of the Chicago religious liberal Left. Sweetest folks you’ll ever meet. Happily promoting the collectivist agenda because they care about the poor people.

I had a cousin (I must have a hundred of them) who was the same type. A really nice person and extremely religious but so liberal it was a bit disconcerting. She had no idea that a lot of her heroes were working for the other side.

The communist masses are composed mainly of asses.

That’s what my democrat sister tells me. She’s a democrat because they ‘CARE!’. It doesn’t make any difference that how they care results in the destruction of those same people.

From the middle of the 1800s to the recent past, socialism was easily inserted into the quaking, shaking, charismatic babbling groups looking for whatever Romanticist/New Age magic. Called that sort of thing “Voodoo” while talking to an older women relative and received an earful. ;-)

More recently, though, “progressive” (socially aberrant) speech has been forked into all kinds of churches through feminists (misogamist—i.e., family-hating speech generalizing about evil males, etc.). University feminists wrote papers on the subject of infiltrating religious groups, and some of those papers are most likely still available through the WWW. That was their main way in, and that’s why most common men left those circles behind. They’ve obviously done the same in the Republican Party.

This batch of Communist sisters should be removed from the Catholic Church.
