59 Socialists in Congress – 2002

Apparently our elected "capitalist" representatives and senators, who don't really represent us, don't have the courage to shine the light of day on these socialists. Doing so in this forum is good, but it should be spread to many forums to really spread the word. Well Done.

[Bigun]

Yes, so is Ron Paul. My challenge is to match the Red 59 with 59 non-socialists.

Perhaps we can find another HERE!

...They will continue to refer themselves, and the nation as a democracy. In their ideology, fascism is what they can get away with, for now. Their next step, you've said it. A Freeconstituent Republic will not be tolerated...

This is absolutely amazing. I counted just 7 from NY/NJ/Pa. and five of those are from NY. Illinois has more lefties that NY.

In a free capitalist society, this elitist enrichment also occurs, but at least the people are free to pursue their own best interests instead of having that interest subjugated to the state and ultimately the elite who control it.

Also, there are hungry want to be's who use the capitalist system to create new wealth for themselves. Elites in a capitalist system often don't stay at the top very long before they are replaced by new elites. Elites in a dictatorship have the ability to thwart potential competitors. Unfortunately, this leads to stagnating societies and economies.

Therefore, Lenin reasoned (correctly, see "What is to Be Done?") that Red terror before, during, and after the revolution would be required to whip the people along, to get them to act against their will, against their culture, against their religion, and against human nature.

I wholeheartedly agree, My use of the term "practical" Communism was just a very abridged (and inexact) form of what you said.

This REALLY deserves to be posted again---Tell your friends:

The All Time Chilling Quote Of The Day

"The American People will never knowingly adopt Socialism,
but under the name of Liberalism
they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program
until one day America will be a Socialist Nation
without ever knowing how it happened----"
Who on earth would publicly say such a thing,you may ask yourself?
Norman Thomas, Six-Time Socialist Party Presidential Candidate
and One of the Founders of the ACLU.

He's Telling you their plans right there,for gods sake!

Wasn't the issue World War I and Lenin's opposition?

Sure, my only point was that "practical" communism doesn't give a hoot about the so called socialist phase of the revolution. Practical communism is just state sponsored terror, repression and death to bring about the revolution.

Theoretical communism is bascally a circle jerk by a bunch of lefties to see who can come up with the best ideas to get the state to give someone else your property.

Yes, I'm being flippant.

[AdamSelene235]

Comunists are socialists who mean it.

My favorite defintion is:

A Communist is a Socialist with *your* gun.

[VaBthang4]

None from Virginia.

[Cultural Jihad]

On the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party, The Progressive Caucus is affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America, which, in turn, is the American affiliate of the Socialist International.

All the more reason to vote Republican. Throwing our votes away on fringe single-digit candidates will not right this wrong.

Why are the majority black? Just an observation....nothing intended ;)

Chilling post repeat!

Who's not a socialist? I know that Tom Tancredo is a trusted patriot.

Another list could be - who in Congress represents what is good for America. I could only think of one name to put on it. Tancredo.

[Uncle George]

Just look at Joe McCarthy smiling down on all these revelations: I never lost faith in you Joe.

Conyers Frank Waxman Waters - but not Hastings - LOL

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]
