Socialists have been around as long as republicans and democrats. What I meant was the socialists really started in earnest to zero in, and subvert the democrat party in the mid 60s. No doubt the socialists were around long before.
The Socialists couldn't get elected to anything of consequence with an 'S" behind their name. They needed a 'D" or 'R' behind their names.(And yes I know about Bernie Sanders from VT.)
The Democrat party was an easier target than the Republican Party. "Vote for me I'll get you someone elses money" has more appeal to more voters there, than in the Republican party. "Vote for me I'll let you keep the money you have" is what appeals to Republicans. -Tom
Henry Wallace was VP under FDR. He was a Socialist. He later ran for President as a "Progressive." Then later renounced his previous pro communist positions.
Although your statements are very true, that in the 60's the tactics used by them changed. Your time frame is off.
The planned undermining of the USA, by legal and illegal means goes back much further then the 60's.
I do not mean to be argumentative, or repitive, but, read Ann Coulter's book and take a look, especially at her resources for backing up her statements.
I think you will be surprised. If you do not have a copy I will loan you mine. Take care Michael
