Surprise! Nancy Pelosi is really, and officially, a self-confessed Socialist!
Nancy Pelosi is a Socialist. She, like Bernard Sanders, is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. You can check out the membership list here.
Here is the mission statement of the Democratic Socialists of America, from their homepage:
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture. Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. Our vision is of a society in which people have a real voice in the choices and relationships that affect the entirety of our lives. We call this vision democratic socialism a vision of a more free, democratic and humane society.
In this web site you can find out about DSA, its politics, structure and program. DSA's political perspective is called Where We Stand. It says, in part,
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.
We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.
DSA has a youth section, Young Democratic Socialists (YDS). Made up of students from colleges and high schools and young people in the work force, the Youth Section works on economic justice and democracy and prison justice projects. It is a member of the Interantional Union of Socialist Youth, an affiliate of the Socialist International. The Youth Section meets several times during the year. More information is available from YDS staff.
To watch her talk it is though she is in pain, I am wondering Hemroids, girly itch, worms, or maybe she just has to squirm as she speeks because she has IBS and needs to hit the can..
I read about his sometime ago. I could not believe all the names on the list. But, if you go to that other site, most of the posters there think the same way. Disgusting! How can people keep voting for these people? Do they not care what is going on under their noses? Nah! That would require some intelligence which they lack.
There is no such thing as a reasonable demoncrat.
Surprise! Nancy Pelosi is also a liberal psychopath. I guess that is a redundant statement that fits morst liberals.
It's even in the title of their model...Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
Not suprizing.
And, of course, the National SOCIALISTS of Germany, aka Nazis.
Scary stuff, folks, imho ...Exposed: Pelosi's Socialist Ties
Pelosi leader of 'Progressive Caucus'
From those links, these excerpts ...
"DSA/USA, the 'Democratic Socialists of America' are the U.S. arm of the Socialist International. They share the symbol of the fist holding the rose, and they share the tasks to be accomplished in our case, an altogether different America ...
"Some time ago the date is missing from the descriptions 58 members of the U.S. House of Representatives formed a subdivision of the Democratic Socialists of America and called it the Progressive Caucus. Their statement of purpose, as well as their membership list, formed an integral part of the dsausa Web site (www.dsausa.org ). The membership list appeared on the screen with the continuous background of the fist holding the rose, should anyone have missed the connection with the Socialist International."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the likely [she is now] new minority leader in the House of Representatives, serves on the executive committee of the socialist-leaning Progressive Caucus, a bloc of about 60 votes or nearly 30 percent of the minority vote in the lower chamber.
The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans.
"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."
BTTT
bumpus americanus
LOL, and so are the rest of the Democrats.
That's Red Assner to you, buddy!
Think she my friend KW's idol? Both got facelifts, eyelifts, and both think socialism is cool. You tell me!!!
Resource bump
In fact, I hear that the extreme left is starting ANOTHER "non-partisan" group, with Pelosi as an honorary chairperson - the group is, apparently, called Citizens Resisting Oppression, Tyranny, Capitalism and Hate...
