The following FAQ will help clarify a few facts:
Q: What is the Socialist International?
A: It is the worldwide organization of socialist, social democratic and labor parties. It currently brings together 131 political parties and organizations from all continents. Its origins go back to the early international organizations of the labor movement of the last century.* It has existed in its present form since 1951, when it was re-established at the Frankfurt Congress. They are now headquartered in London, England.
* In 1864, representatives of English and French industrial workers founded the International Workingmen's Association in London. Karl Marx, who was living in London at the time, became the First International's dominant figure. Marx's doctrines were revived in the 20th century by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilich Lenin, who developed and applied them and we all know that what was started as a labor movement ended up as the biggest totalitarian/communist state, i.e., the USSR.
Q: What is the Democratic Socialists of America [DSA]?
A: It is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. Their website is http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html
Q: What are seven principles behind what the DSA's calls it's "Progressive Challenge?"
Dignified Work
Environmental Justice
Economic Redistribution
Democratic Participation
Community Empowerment
Global Non-Violence
Social Justice.
Never mind their soothing-sounding leftist doublespeak like 'Environmental Justice' (whatever that is supposed to mean) or the soft & fuzzy 'Global Non-Violence' (a euphemism for unilateral disarmament) the DSA's self-declared principle of 'Economic Redistribution' clearly shows where these folks are coming from and exactly where they plan to take America.

Julia Carson is officially dead (she was brain dead long before it was official) Her grandson has taken over her thrown.
Wow. Very enlightening. Thank you for the link to that list.
You don't have to "hold" or be elected to any position in government to control it, you just have to control the person who holds or was elected to that position. That is usually done with money and sometimes blackmail. Right now I believe 90% of the government (Zero on down to newest lowly congressman) are not representing "We the People", but are being controlled (bought and paid for) by other people. Can't explain it any better or simpler.
If that is not an answer to your repeated question, you should maybe state your views further or add more in way of context of your question. I'm into a "Say what you mean and mean what you say" type of dialog with people.
Excellent post! It’s good to see you back. :)
Surely this progressive movement Usurps their oath of office concerning the constitution of the United States?
You’re back. Great!
Except when it's Socialists/Communists doing the slaughtering, then they either praise it, deny it, or cover it up.
What they really mean is no resistance against socialist regimes is allowed, and even outright attacks by social regimes should not be resisted, unless they are upon a more favored socialist regime, such as when the National Socialists of Germany attacked the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, then it was "Second Front, NOW!".
Thanks for this information.
I just keep thinking “we’re doomed”, then I read something like the above, and it turns into “we’re freaking dooooomed”.
I still have hope that deus ex machina one way or another will drag the Steaming Pile off the stage, and expose fiends such as you describe.
(I think I used “deus ex machina” properly...)
The one person who claims to have seen Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack H. Obama Sr together in Hawaii.
Great post. Glad you’re back.
Great post. Glad you’re back.
Well now, I understand your point and I understand the difference, but the results will be the same. IMHO domestic private institutions corrupting our government by various means and foreign powers corrupting our government by various means are both ongoing threats brought upon us by dishonest elected officials more than eager to make a fast buck and will lead to our loss of freedom, constitution and eventually country as we know it.
It's all about the money primarily and then secondarily the power that comes with it.
