Q: What is the Socialist International?

A: It is the worldwide organization of socialist, social democratic and labor parties. It currently brings together 131 political parties and organizations from all continents. Its origins go back to the early international organizations of the labor movement of the last century.* It has existed in its present form since 1951, when it was re-established at the Frankfurt Congress. They are now headquartered in London, England.

* In 1864, representatives of English and French industrial workers founded the International Workingmen’s Association in London. Karl Marx, who was living in London at the time, became the First International’s dominant figure. Marx’s doctrines were revived in the 20th century by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilich Lenin, who developed and applied them – and we all know that what was started as a labor movement ended up as the biggest totalitarian/communist state, i.e., the USSR.

Q: What is the Democratic Socialists of America [DSA]?

A: It is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. Their website is http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

Q: How many members of the U.S. Congress are also members of the DSA?

A: Seventy!

Q: How many of the DSA members sit on the Judiciary Committee?

A: Eleven: John Conyers [Chairman of the Judiciary Committee], Tammy Baldwin, Jerrold Nadler, Luis Gutierrez, Melvin Watt, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Steve Cohen, Barbara Lee, Robert Wexler, Linda Sanchez [there are 23 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of which eleven, almost half, are now members of the DSA].

And people tell me I’m talking overboard when I refer to liberals as socialist-democrats. It’s time we start calling them what they are until they can prove otherwise.

"The goal of socialism is communism." --Vladimir Lenin

He ought to know. The goal is never just to get to socialism per se, but to take it one tiny step beyond.

If they in fact swear to uphold the Constitution, then create any legislation that destroys the Constitution, are they then not liable for false testimony in court?

I believe you are right! Swearing to uphold the Constitution, and then breaking it with opposing beliefs is ground for removal from the Congress!

Oath-taking is a serious business and should be held accountable. People who were brainwashed to elect them in the first place should be sent to Re-education Camps to see the errors of their way!

truly amazing.

Can they all get re-eleted if the voters know they are card carrying Socialists?

As is our President?

That’s the truly scary thought ...............
