I had not realized, before I read this article, that the head of the ACLU and one other anti-American left-wing activist had wormed their way into the leadership of this museum.

Did someone say ACLU?

Roger Baldwin, the co-founder of the ACLU said: “I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately, for abolishing the state itself. … I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the properties class, and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. I don’t regret being part of the communist tactic. I knew what I was doing. I was not an innocent liberal. I wanted what the communists wanted and I traveled the United Front road to get it.” In spite of Baldwin’s Communist leanings, President Jimmy Carter awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on January 16, 1981.

Baldwin didn’t create the ACLU in a vacuum, he had plenty of help. A group of Communist Party officials, fellow travelers, anarchists and radicals joined Baldwin to found the ACLU in 1920.

Grrr. This stuff makes my blood boil. Communism, the most blood-stained ideology the world has ever known, evokes no response of revulsion by these people who describe it in such glowing terms.

And folks...the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton are in bed with them. We had better wake up.
