That may not be a bad idea. Say a ten day season with no bag limit. Should really reduce the problem.
OH! You mean hiring quotas don't you. (never mind)
How about a bill to bar employers from sexual orientation discrimination lawsuits? God forbid a so-called Conservative even propse such a bill. Do we have any of those left in the Conress anyway?
Later horrible pingout.
Does it include protections for heterosexuals?
There are - you can go underground or out of business. These people are not kidding, and they target businesses and people they consider enemies of their agenda.
Recently - within the last week - there have been several articles about a family run inn located in Vermont who are being sued (hmm - brain malfuction alarm tells me it might be a criminal matter of discrimination, not a civil suit, but either way it is bad bad bad) by a couple of lesbians. Reason? The owner - who is Catholic, and lives at the inn with his wife and several children - said he would have a hard time getting enthusiastic about hosting a wedding reception for the two lesbians. (The inn proprietors host several wedding receptions a year.)
The lesbians are targeting this family because, as Catholics, they are "not enthusiastic" about helping two women have a wedding reception.
Thanks very much for the links! I'll save them and read them.
Here is another goal that they have accomplished:
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
It is surreal how many of the goals have been accomplished.

Ciao!
Right on. Consider the questionnaire you are given when you donate blood... if you are a man, have you ever had sex, EVEN ONCE, with another man since 1977? ... if so, we don't want your blood, it's worthless. You are as risky as an IV drug user.
You are right. This keeps making the rounds here and is, to say the least, highly dubious. Where in the heck did these "goals" come from? An official Communist party document? If so, Where can a copy be obtained?
AIM Report: Hillary Clinton's Biggest Cover-Ups
In her book, however, Hillary does write about some of her radical associates. She notes a meeting in 1969 with David Mixner of the Vietnam Moratorium Committee, an anti-Vietnam war protest group that came under investigation by the House Internal Security Subcommittee for its involvement with communists and backing from Hanoi. Mixner would go on to become a leading homosexual activist, adviser to and friend of President Clinton. He was credited with delivering some six million votes to Clinton in 1992.
Speaking of which, Edward Klein's new book on Hillary has some related stuff:
Richard Poe, "The Woman Who Would Be President"

A Wellesley classmate of Hillary’s recalls: "The notion of a woman being a lesbian was fascinating to Hillary. But she was much more interested in lesbianism as a political statement than a sexual practice… A lesbian… was a dynamic young woman who had thrown off the shackles of male dominance. Hillary talked about it a lot, read lesbian literature, and embraced it as a revolutionary concept."
Klein never states that Hillary slept with a woman — though he names several who are "rumored" to have shared her bed. Klein focuses instead on Hillary’s allegiance to the radical "gender feminism" which she imbibed at Wellesley and which — according to Klein — she never renounced.

I think those goal DID come from an original communist document. I used to know what it was, but mostly the list survived, but unfortunately, without the original source. I should go and dig, and see if I come up with the original source, if I do, I'll post it and keep it handy for future reference.
You'll have better luck than me if you do. Everytime this appears (every few months or so), I ask for a source but nobody ever provides one other than to site the Cong. Record or Skousen. Those are secondary sources, however. What is the primary source? If this is a party document, where can it be obtained? Nobody seems to have any idea or paricularly care. Frankly, I don't think there is scuh a document. The wording sounds too much like Dr. Evil to be very believable!
Here is what I could determine by a quick research.
The goals are listed in a book: "THe Naked Communist" by W. Cleon Skousen, who was a senior FBI agent under J. Edgar Hoover, the police chief of Salt Lake City, Utah, and a full professor at Brigham Young University.
Florida Congressman A.S. Herlong Jr. entered this list into the Congressional Records in 1963.

I don't know where Skousen got his list, he may mention it in his book. Considering, that he was an FBI agent, maybe they got hold of some commie documents.
But I have read elsewhere, that the communists were working hard on destroying the capitalist countries, starting with the US, "from within". It was a major strategy for them, so it's quite possible they outlined those items.
It is also interesting that those goals first saw the light of day in 1958, before a lot of them have been accomplished, that now are totally accepted, so it's not as if someone looked around today and created the goals retroactively, to fit today's status.
As I said in my previous post, those are secondary documents. I know of many great historians I respect but I would expect that each and every one of them back up any controversial claims or statements with primary documents. The Congressional Record, btw, is not a good source. Every wacko, including Maxine Waters, etc., can insert whatever they want in that. Again, this wording sounds like something out of Dr. Evil. Where does it come from?
