It seems that Senator Obama's Old party was called the New Party. The party was a Marxist Political coalition. This was not a guilt by association thing. Senator Obama sought out their nomination. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers. Read more on the Marxist endorsement that Barack Obama sought out: Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose...

Obama is Hiding a Radical Past Did you know that Barack Obama was a member of the leading socialist party? In a small omission, Barack Obama apparently forgot to include in his resume, he entered politics as a socialist. This just keeps getting better and better. Barack Obama was active participant in the 1990s of the Chicago New Party and, importantly, the Chicago DSA, a group of socialists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America. Barack Obama attended and participated in meetings the Chicago New Party and the Chicago DSA, the local affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America. Barack...

The Democratic Socialist Party of the United States of America Some people think I'm too strident an anti-leftist. Some people say I'm wrong to place the Democrats on the continuum of the left, with their position on that continuum nothing more than a measure of the distance they are from socialism's ideological provenance.Sorry, but the Democrats are proving that belief right more and more each day:House Democrats call for nationalization of refineriesHouse Democrats responded to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live. Among other things,...

Once again with the election cycle, it's time to remind everyone of just what our "progressive" DemonRats really stand for. The Democratic Socialists of America are indeed the US branch of the Socialist International Party, which is in turn a chapter of the World Communist Party. I have posted the link to their web site - and cordially suggest that if you have the time, please go there and actually read the drivel posted there. Yes, you will need a large lawn leaf sized barf bag to get through it. The scary part is that they have over 70 members...

My first, and hope last vanity. Having an argument with a real wild DU'er type. I need the list of the members of the US House that also belong to communist groups. I have seen it and can't find it. Thank you.

The Democratic Socialists of America has an interactive web site to place teachers in school districts all over the country. Job search Does your school district troll for teachers on the DSA web site?

The Democratic Socialists of America recently posted an ad on their Web site inviting tax-deductible contributions to "bring young people to Minnesota" to vote in the close U.S. Senate race there. The students are invited because liberal incumbent Paul Wellstone, the DSA's top election priority, "will need a high percentage of young people to register and vote for him." The site helpfully notes that "Minnesota is one of the few states that allow same-day voter registration." Minnesota has long had problems with students who are registered elsewhere voting on Election Day, and the DSA ad sure sounds like an appeal...

Know The Enemy: The Democratic Socialists of AmericaWho Are They, Why We Must Defeat ThemWith the elections fast approaching, and the Congress so evenly divided, we can't afford to lose any seats this time - the gridlock in the Senate is intolerable and must be fixed by regaining control. Unfortunately, the Republican National Committee has decided to turn a blind eye to our nation's internal enemies and not expose them to the light of day. They fear being labeled as 'mean spirited' (translated as neutered by the leftist media). So, as true Americans, it's up to us to get the...

Philadelphia-Area Families Latest to Get Discounted Venezuelan Heating Oil The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA - Low-income families in the Philadelphia area will receive discounted Venezuelan heating oil in the latest deal bringing fuel to U.S. communities that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claims are neglected by Washington.

Chaka Fattah. Similar shipments have been made to New York City, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and American Indian...

One of the greatest anti-nationalists of modern times was Karl Marx, the father of the political philosophy of Marxism. One of his more revealing, but less famous quotes was the following: "My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism." Karl Marx taught that the world was divided into two powerful classes, the "'proletariat" (working class) and the "bourgeoisie" (wealthy ruling class). Marxism sees the proletariat and bourgeoisie as directly waging an ongoing competition, in that capitalists exploit workers and workers try to resist exploitation. (This is the foundational principle behind modern US organized labor) Marx's scientific socialism...

"Trust me when I tell you things are so much better in Iraq," said one US military official to me on my recent visit to that war-ravaged country. I didn't know whether to scream or pull the remaining two strands of hair out of my head. I was in Iraq as part of a delegation of eight members of Congress, led by House minority leader Nancy Pelosi. Everything we have been told about Iraq by the Bush Administration has either been an outright lie or overwhelmingly false. There were no weapons of mass destruction; we have not been greeted as...

A quick check of the AFL-CIO website for April 15, shows that John Sweeny, Socialist, made no comments about the plight of American Workers under the current, archaic, 60,0000 plus page job destroying tax system . A quick check on Google.com tells the story why. By entering, “John J Sweeney” and the word “Socialist”, I got 184 returns listed by Google.com. Now you would expect to see a lot of conservative websites tagging Sweeney with the Socialist label. After all, John Sweeney is a self admitted socialist, and is listed as a celebrity member on the Democrat Socialist of America...

For 23 years, the Socialist Scholars Conference was a big tent under which leftist activists and academics took shelter in an increasingly conservative America. Last June, however, seven of the group's 16 board members resigned, "in protest of the lack of democratic and participatory governance procedures." As a result of the split, the group's annual conference has been canceled, at least for this year. Meanwhile, the seven who quit the board quickly formed a new organization, the 2005 Left Forum, which has scheduled its debut conference for this weekend at the CUNY Graduate Center in Midtown Manhattan. The new group...

When we look at the constant assault on all that made America great -- a common language, personal liberty, the right to assemble with whom we wish, conventional marriage, the Boy Scouts, religion, etc. -- we need only look inward to those working among us. We can call them Democrats, liberals, the left, or progressives. The label is not important. By their acts, we know them as socialists and they have a plan to disassemble society as we know it. We have written about the infamous House Progressive Caucus[1] many times before. The Progressive Caucus is the Congressional arm of...

Folks are complaining that government took God out of public life, but they fear trying to do anything about it. Much of our common language is now censored in favor of "political correctness" and it probably will not be long before making any derogatory remark will be a federal felony. Today, instead of teaching kids patriotism and American history in school, parents stand by and allow their kids to be taught the feel-good benefits and joys of foreign cultures by socialist leaning public school teachers. Even in government schools, American patriotism is somehow painted in a bad light in favor...

ELECTION 2004 Kerry's war criticism backed by U.S. Reds Communist Party paper knocks Bush, says Kerry represents 'hope for peace' A year ago, as WorldNetDaily reported, the Communist Party USA decided it would not run a candidate for president in 2004, choosing instead to form a "united front" to stop the re-election of President Bush. Until recently, the party's official newspaper, People's Weekly World, focused its editorial slant on bashing Bush, rather than praising Sen. John Kerry. But with Kerry fading in some polls, the Communists appear to be pulling out all the stops – switching from just criticizing Bush...
