You're full of yourself. My point is, you can't tell me from what source Skousen derives his list of Communist goals. You can't and it shows. So who's the bullsh!t artist here?

I don't think I left any doubt as to my opinion of the veracity of Skousen's claims. It would be clear to anyone with a third grade education. But then, maybe that's why you're having trouble understanding.

"...third grade education..."

Mr. Skousen's credentials stem from a law degree at George Washington University, his service in the FBI from 1935 to 1951, and a career thereafter involving four years as Police Chief of Salt Lake City, the editorship of the police magazine Law and Order, a teaching position at Brigham Young University, and many years on lecture circuits in the United States and abroad. His work in the FBI was heavy into investiga­tions of communism, and resulted in his earlier book The Naked Communist which reached the best seller list in 1961.

See Windcatcher's #14 which clearly cites the posted material (the list of Communist goals) as printed in the Congressional Record as the extended 1963 remarks of the Florida Congressm,an named therein.

Now, you may disagree with the accuracy of the Congressman or with his description or with his lack of further citation but it is disingenuous to claim that Skousen's list has not been footnoted as to source. You may certainly disagree with Skousen.

Your FR homepage is very informative in that it contains many cites and many quotes and even some book recommendations. What you have placed there seems consistent with the Objectivist "philosophy" of Ayn Rand whose Atlas Shrugged is your first recommendation.

You undoubtedly understand that many on FR vehemently disagree with La Rand's "philosophy." Her desire for and achievement of a life of serial adultery constitutes no valid command that anyone reject God to facilitate her way of life and its acceptance. Nor do her desires and performance constitute any valid command that one ignore the contractual aspect of marriage and thereby the very concept of contract freely entered and assumed which is essential to genuine libertarianism. Likewise, Ernst Roehm's love for homosexuality in ANY form does not command tolerance given his prominent position of power within Nazism. Likewise, prominent lavenders in the US or state governments.

If Ernst and "friends" had confined their objectively disordered behavior to the privacy of their own boudoirs, who would bother interrupting their juvenile but vile pursuits. The forcng upon the general public of homosexuality is no more entitled to tolerance than is heterosexual rape or heterosexual sexual harassment.

If Ernst had been a shepherd and promised his favorite sheep that she would always be his "only and only ewe" and even acted accordingly, that would not deprive the ASPCA of the right and duty to intervene on behalf of the violated sheep, whatever an overheated Howard Dean might say in defense of the Demonratic agenda.
