Empty out her saddlebag. Her membership card's in there someplace.
Boxer is so used to communist ideals, that she doesn't even see it.
"So declared Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing in May 2002. "I hate to say it," she continued, "it's dead.""
WHAT?!?!?!?! "I hate to say it" she says!!!!!!!
That statement alone should launch a recall election for that wacko. And Prince Harry is in trouble for a costume?
A short answer might be found in the answer to another question: did they truly abandon socialism?
Interesting article!
Ping to some folks from another Chavez related thread.
This was a particularly charming thought.

Behind the anti-war movement

The pre-invasion anti-war movement morphed into a post-invasion anti-Bush movement. The failure of both efforts has deepened the resolve and refocused the efforts of blue-state liberals, socialists and the ever-present rent-a-mob crowd.
ANSWER, http://www.internationalanswer.org/
Act Now to Stop War & End Racism, is revving up its street-theater engines to protest the president's inauguration and to create a worldwide protest March 19, the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
Disappointed media moguls have already begun the campaign. In a Washington Post article,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29472-2004Nov5.html
Robert Kuttner says the anti-war protests will be the most determined anti-war movement since the anti-Vietnam protests led by John Kerry and Jane Fonda.
Like Kerry's anti-war campaign, the propaganda is based on lies and half-truths, designed to inflame a strong emotional response. The purpose of the war is distorted, obscured and misrepresented. For example, ANSWER justifies its anti-war position by claiming that the U.S. deliberately targets civilians. They claim that "the top enlisted Marine in Iraq has called on his troops to commit war crimes against the tens of thousands of remaining residents" of Fallujah.
But they completely ignore the fact that coalition troops have uncovered mass graves that contain the bodies of nearly a half-million Iraqis executed by Saddam Hussein and the discovery of slaughterhouses in Fallujah where innocent victims were routinely beheaded.
These people are not simply "anti-war," they are anti-American.
They call President Bush a " war criminal" http://answercoalition.org/
while praising the terrorists in Iraq as "resistance fighters" and calling on all Americans to display the Palestinian flag in three days of mourning – "Let every flag and kuffiyya fly high in honor of all those who have passed – from Fallujah to Rafah and from Baghdad to Jerusalem."
Another group that spews this anti-American venom is
the International Action Center http://www.iacenter.org/
founded by Lyndon Johnson's attorney general, Ramsey Clark. His group is promoting a "Million Worker March" on Washington Dec. 3-10. It's no coincidence that this effort is also promoted by
the Worker's World, http://www.workers.org/
a socialist newspaper. It's no coincidence that Sam Webb, who is the national chairman of
the Communist Party USA, http://www.cpusa.org/article/articleview/600/1/27/
says, "The broad people's movement must also regroup its forces across the country for an intense period of resistance to that agenda of war."
Still another group,
Turn Your Back on Bush, http://turnyourbackonbush.org/
is planning another tactic to protest the president on Jan. 20. Concerned that the security surrounding the inauguration will keep their protests off camera, this group is advising their protesters to avoid signs and banners and move through security gates to get as close as possible to the podium. Then, on a signal, when the President speaks, everyone is to turn their back to the President in a silent protest, sure to be seen by TV cameras.
In much of the world, the antics of these protesters would result in jail – or worse. Cuba, China and many socialist countries routinely eliminate protests – and protesters – against the government and its leaders. It seems ironic that the ultimate goal of these protesters is to transform America into the kind of government that tolerates no dissent.
The Communist Party USA says: http://www.cpusa.org/article/articleview/13/
We Communists believe that socialism is the very best replacement for a capitalist system that has served its purpose, but no longer meets the needs and requirements of the great majority of our people.
Make no mistake: These people are driven by a socialist philosophy, using their anti-war protests as an excuse to demonize America and draw attention to their own agenda.
No doubt these people will continue to demonstrate, protest and stage stunts to get media attention. No doubt their campaigns will influence some people. In America, they have every right to do and say whatever they wish.
Until these people achieve their ultimate goal, however, those people who prefer capitalism to communism are free to expose the protesters' socialist agenda and to explode their propaganda with facts. Should the socialist agenda ever prevail, however, freedom to dissent will be among the first to be lost. Then goes private property, gun ownership and representative government.
The election of George Bush was a bitter disappointment to the socialists, but they do not consider it to be a defeat. They think they were cheated, again, and they will use any trick, lie or deceit they can conceive to continue advancing their cause: the transformation of America to socialism.
I think that's a good question, march I.
Aside from that, the region has never abandoned policies that make the government the main employer, and also give it the most lucrative jobs. Mayors in some dinky towns in Argentina make the equivalent of $100,000 per year. Here in the US, mayors of towns that size would probably just receive a tiny stipend to cover their expenses.
This is a problem throughout Latin America, and it's one that they have been unwilling to confront. The move back to Socialism (which is really just oligarchy with a different set of players) is going to ensure that they are poor and stagnant for many, many decades hence.
Communism is bigger than ever and is even being promoted the demoRAT party in the US. The Progressive Caucus is all commies and it's all demoRATS.
BTTT
Bingo...
Answers about A.N.S.W.E.R.
Officially, the organizer of the demonstration was ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). ANSWER is run by the Workers World Party, a small political sect that years ago split from the Socialist Workers Party to support the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956.
The party advocates socialist revolution and abolishing private property. It is a fan of Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba, and it hails North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il for preserving his country’s “socialist system,” which, according to the party’s newspaper, has kept North Korea “from falling under the sway of the transnational banks and corporations that dictate to most of the world.” The WWP supported the Chinese government's 1989 Tienanmen Square massacre. The WWP has campaigned against the war-crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. Please see the links below.
WWP activists are basically the heart and soul of ANSWER, to such an extent that it seems fair to dub ANSWER a WWP front. Several key ANSWER officials — including spokesperson Brian Becker — are WWP members. Many local offices for ANSWER’s protest were housed in WWP offices. Earlier this year, when ANSWER conducted a press briefing, at least five of the 13 speakers were WWP activists. They were each identified, though, in other ways, including as members of Ramsey Clark's International Action Center (IAC).
In fact, ANSWER is a post-9/11 creation of IAC, yet another communist group which has supported Slobodan Milosevic and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Il. The IAC is the driving force behind International ANSWER, which sponsored the major antiwar (and anti-Bush) rallies before the invasion of Iraq.
When ANSWER was outed as a Communist organization, United for Peace and Justice, headed by longtime Communist Party member Leslie Cagan was created as a "moderate" alternative.
Leslie Cagan is a socialist and longtime activist who, during the past thirty years, has mobilized millions of demonstrators in rallies denouncing our nation’s foreign policies; its military-related spending; and its purportedly virulent racism, sexism, and homophobia. She is a die-hard, pro-Communist radical who proudly aligns her politics with those of Communist Cuba.
ANSWER is just one of many front groups for the Workers World Party.
The Workers World Party:
» supported the Chinese government's 1989 Tienanmen Square massacre http://www.workers.org/ww/tienanmen.html
» supports the "socialist" N. Korean dictatorship of Kim Jong Il http://www.workers.org/ww/2002/korea0425.php and
http://www.workers.org/ww/2002/korea0509.php
» views Iraq's Saddam Hussein as a beacon of anti-imperialist resistance http://www.workers.org/ww/2001/iraq0125.html
» defends the genocidal Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic

Democratic hopeful John Ef'n Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, provides financial support to ANSWER as well other rabid antiwar demonstrators, anti-trade demonstrators, domestic Islamist militant organizations who have been tied to known terrorists, pro-terrorists legal groups, communist organizations, environmentalists, abortion partisans, extremist homosexual activists and open borders advocates.

America: Know thy enemy.
Of course the PC was purchased from Colombia as there wasn't a Panama at the time and what we paid for it in terms of lives and dollars was monumental.
Some fools that go along with Jimmie and Bill Buckley on the giveaway say that the canal had outlived its usefullness and that really big ships couldn't navigate. In order to wield the Monroe Doctrine (many politicos haven't a clue what that means) it was good to have a military presence in the CZ. We dropped it and the Chicoms have moved in to fill our place and if anyone thinks those cargo ships are unloading Tinkertoys they'd better think again.
We're in big trouble in this hemisphere, and no one of importance recognizes the fact.
I hate to say it but I'm not surprised that this bimbo hates to say it.
No, Communism is not dead in Cuba. Neither is it dead in Brazil,
Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, and the other countries of Latin
America. On this score, Senator Boxer and many other like-minded
"experts" are, as usual, dead wrong. If we close our eyes to the
Communist resurgence throughout our hemisphere and to the forces
that are propelling this revival, we will soon find ourselves isolated
and surrounded by nations controlled by hostile regimes.<<<<<
This is the real truth of the article.
Cuba has recently met with every country that is our enemy.
