"...numerous Congressional members received copies of the rules list from alarmed constituents and, believing that nobody else was yet aware of them, continued to insert them into the Congressional Record. "

In what way does that prove they are not authentic?

"She also sent money to the ACLU, you can see why I needed to get my money out of the loop!!!!" I think I would have found a way to fire the commie instead of selling my business, unless you turned a real good profit out of the deal.

I didn't want to explain this to the leftists, but we had been thinking about selling for years, this was just the straw that broke the camels back. Did wait for our selling price or of course, wouldn't have sold.

No disrespect, Bat Lady, but the League has been in league with the Left for years. If you are "cleaning house" on memberships, I also recommend dropping the PTA and the AAUW. They're all weaving the same web and their spiders have been drawing unsuspecting women in for the last 2 decades.

I knew ours was filled with democrats but went in planning to make sure that they had my views represented too. You know (NON-partisan I thought they needed me as a token )However, the 1st meeting I attended I looked around and thought of Rush's Life Truth # 24 (I don't remember which exact #) and knew that all those women had to be more than just the dems of my fathers time but further left than that.

Then I read the national positions and heard the lady quoting Marx so started digging deeper. And then found the links. I couldn't have my dues be sent up to the national level knowing that they were that far gone.

So WHAT IS THIS ABOUT THE PTA???????

Can't we trust ANYONE? ANYWHERE? or have the CPUSA infiltrated EVERYWHERE?

Good for your parents!

Thank you sir. It did help that Dad was career military and just happen to be over there when traitor jane pulled her stunt. Even at the young age I was when Dad was there for his first tour I knew this was so wrong. Even before that it was obvious these clueless hippies, who essentially called my father a "baby killer", had nothing to offer me or my country. Too bad so many of them are in government now and teaching.

It proves nothing. It neither validates nor invalidates the claims. I printed that to show that just because something has been entered into the Congressional Record doesn't mean it has been validated. That's my point.

The PTA has been greatly influenced by the NEA, whose goals are right there with the CPUSA. In fact, in some ways they are worse because of their goals for schools.

PTA - 'platform' is almost exactly the same as the teachers union(NEA). In other words, it's more about indoctrination than about education. They skim $ off local associations so that the national can maintain a website that almost mirrors that of the NEA. It's become nothing more than an auxilliary (fundraising arm) for the union.

As for the AAUW - a look at their website is almost like looking at the N.O.W. website. They too have fallen far from the original intent. It is run by liberal feminists - an abortion on demand is the flag they salute.

Yes, I've read about them and was suprised myself! As a stay at home housewife, I lived blissfully unaware of the real agenda of these organizations!

They never took positions until some time in the late seventies or early eighties when they came out for the "pro-choice" position on abortion.

Since that time, they have endorsed more and more leftist positions. The Arizona president of LWV testified in favor of CFR when a congressional committee held a hearing in Phoenix.

"How do you know?"

Well, S2S, like it says on your personal page, you have to actually pay attention.

That was a wonderful day!"

"I strongly urge people in your apparent age group to read "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers since you're not taught real history in school."

As described in Ann Coulter's most recent book "Treason," a book that should be required reading for all adults.

I am paying attention. I've heard snippets about these "Communist Goals" but never knew where they originated from. I thought asking the Solons of Freeperville would be a good place to start searching. I suffer from skepticism so I like to scope things out from top to bottom before I tell others about them. I have no inclination to make hasty conclusions.

What I have learned from my Freeper friends is that I need to read the book "The Naked Communist" which I fully intend to do.

The planted axiom of unwillingness to accept any label other than "objective" or "nonpartisan" is a presumption of superiority over "left and right."

A conservative--think, Rush Limbaugh or any other radio call-in talk show host--is self-critical enough to accept that his/her perspective is not the only legitimate way of seeing things, and therefore his/her perspective can legitimately have a name. Conservatives are willing to debate the issues on the full range of facts and logic, asking only a fair burden of proof for both sides.

Liberals OTOH consistently evade that debate, preferring to second-guess from a position of affected superiority using bullying tactics. They evade accurate labels.

In America "socialism" didn't sell so socialists coopted the word "liberalism", a word which was popular in America because it more accurately represented our position rather than their own. And, read this carefully, the root word "social" is much more appropriately descriptive of marketplace interaction than of elite "planning" boards micromanaging the economy from afar. So the very word "social"ism was a devious coinage; the true nature of "socialism" is better described as "governmentism." IOW, "tyranny."

"Liberals" consistently argue with tendentious labels, and there is no more tendentious label to assume than "objective," with "nonpartisan" being a close second. Once successfully assume that mantle and you have, essentially, won the debate.

There is a dictum which I believe National Review calls "Sullivan's Law." IIt says that
"Any organization which is not explicitly conservative becomes liberal over time."
Which I take to be equivalent to saying that liberals just as liberals tendentiously assume dishonest labels, liberals consistently coopt any organization which may initially have some legitimate claim to nonpartisanship.

Exactly - I'd have to make a good profit to sell a business, especially if I'd only be selling it to avoid an employee donating to an organization that I disagree with.

One thing to point out - it's absolutely not my employer's business what organizations I choose to give my money to. I get my paycheck and am free to spend my net pay as I please. As long as I'm not running around the office broadcasting to everyone that I donate money to X Charity, I don't see how my employer would know or care about it.

I may vehemently disagree with a (hypothetical) employee giving money to PETA or the ACLU, but that's my employee's business and not mine.

That is exactly right, if she had fired the employee then the ACLU would have been suing!!!!
