"Some local cadres can't tell right from wrong, and they are blind to hostile elements who use the cloak of religion to engage in counter-revolutionary activities," Mr. Chen declared.
"While purporting to be party members and cadres, they act as internal agents for the {religious] clique. They harm our nation's unity and betray the people."

The GOP has party cadres now as well??? Party cadres rooting out counter revolutionary elements?
Am I the only one who read the Federalist papers and George Washington's speeches? Am I the only one who remembers reading Orwell's 'Animal Farm' and '1984'?
A conservative/constitutionalist's only loyalty is to the Constitution - everything else be damned.
orge Orwell and the Politics of Animal Farm
Boxer, the strongest and hardest-working animal, falls ill. Though the van in which the dying Boxer is taken away has the words "Horse Slaughterer" painted on the sides, Squealer assures the other animals that the veterinary surgeon had just recently bought it, and did not have time to paint the old name out. Boxer, devoting his unceasing labor to the pigs, outlives his usefulness, and is rewarded by being sent to the glue factory.
I must ask you .cnI redruM - was the glue factory allusion you used based on the politics of 'Animal Farm'?
On the one hand, we advertise ourselves as the party of law and order, on the other, we have Senators Graham and McCain trying to slam an amnesty bill for 13 million illegal aliens down the country’s throat.
As for Boxer, and all the wonderful work he did, if you can explain to me what wonderful production the GOP got out Lincoln Chafee or gets out of Ron Paul, I’ll grant you I’ve just advocated sending our best and brightest off to the glue factory.
>>>>The GOP has party cadres now as well???
No, the GOP has no coherent platform, because it allows people to hijack it’s brand, splurge through its resources and then totally insult all the people it sends to walk the precincts on their behalf. If the GOP really had cadres, do you think we would still have a Senator Specter?
Or another way to look at it, if Pat Toomey hadn’t come within a few thousand votes of firing Arlen Specter, do you really believe he would have cooperated with the president on Justice Roberts or Justice Alito. Senator Specter is directly opposed to each man’s position on abortion. SO just by prtesenting Arlen SPecter with the credible threat of losing his position with the party, we got him more closely aligned to what Conservatives would want, as opposed to his new-found buddies at Planned Parenthood.
GW would have been far too busy castigating Ronald Reagan, FDR, Harry S. Truman and Abraham Lincoln to care what I post of Freerepublic.com one way or the other.
All you need to see is what happened to old Joe Lieberman when he failed to toe the party line .....
When Newt “branded” the party in ‘94...they did well. DeLay made them hang together....
James Dobson is a voter, not a politician.
If Party cadre .cnI redruM represent the GOP - attacking/denegrating George Washington and what he stood for then you can keep the GOP.
You need to recheck the seriousness of what was said. In no way did I dispute what Dobson actually said, but for a religious leader to say that a person who is, in fact, christian and that can be confirmed by about a 3 second search on the net, to say that he isn’t..... that’s a pretty serious thing to say, in public. It wasn’t just some passing comment made in private conversation i_d, Dobson is a political figure, and by saying something like that in public only a fool would say that Dobson didn’t know that it would have political effects.
