We need to sort the Congress out and brand the left-wing zombies so we can tell them apart.

How Many Members Of The U.S. CongressAre Self-Declared Socialists?
http://pdamerica.org/about/board.php
In the United States House of Representatives, these people all belong to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, established in the early 1990s. The members of the Progressive Caucus also belong to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a confederation of socialists formed in 1983 when a splinter group of the Socialist Party (Michael Harringtons Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, DSOC) merged with the Students for a Democratic Societys (SDS) splinter group, the New American Movement (NAM).
The main aim of DSA was to convert the Democratic Party into a social democratic organization. to that end, during the early 1990s, the DSA hosted the Progressive Caucus website, which contained the names of its members. When the word got out, all the information regarding the Progressive Caucus vanished. These congress critters dont want you to know their true colors (red).
The DSA has many celebrity members, including feminist Gloria Steinem, actor Ed Asner, black activist Cornel West, and libertarian socialist Noam Chomsky. It is also the chief American member group of the Socialist International, which includes the British Labour Party and the French Parti Socialiste.
