>>>But don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make the case that our current cultural situation is completely the result of some nefarious covert "communist" infiltration. However, it has always amazed me that the leaders of our cultural and educational institutions, entertainment icons and media outlets all seem to sing from the same song-sheet in terms of political issues.

They largely play by different rules, going after one institution after another. AS soon as they get a foothold, that foothold is used to bring in more and more people like them. They may not see themselves as communist cells, but for practical purposes they act like them.

Honestly, the homosexuals do the same thing. I watched it happen in a large company I worked for. One got into a managment position. She proceeded to hire several more and suggest applicants for other departments. Soon, the company medical plan was offering domestic partner benefits. It happened so fast it made my head spin. Of course, considering the mental state of most of these folks, many didn't last long there. The original manager ran her program into the ground and was eventually canned for gross incompetence. I can't tell you how many times she was found weeping in her office. It truly was a sad case.

Meanwhile, if anyone got a whiff that you were a conservative, particularly a religious conservative, watch out! Personally, I wasn't shy about it, and eventually, people stopped debating me. I even went toe-to-toe with one of the VPs over several beers one night. But my immediate boss was simply an excellent, open-minded person, so my job was never in jeopardy. But I heard horror stories about people who were harassed by their bosses and considered 'outsiders' to be avoided because they dared to think religion was important, for example, or because they voted for Bush.
