The mainstream media thought that the membership of Todd Palin, who is not a candidate for any office, in the Alaska Independence Party important enough to report in such outlets as the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, and the New York Times, among others.

Big: Scrubbed Web Pages Resurface Naming Obama As Member of Expressly-Leftist "New Party" > We spent a month on Palin's nonexistent membership in the AIP. Anyone think the MSM will follow-up here? The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within. The party only lasted until 1998, when its strategy of “fusion” failed to withstand a...

ARTICLE II PURPOSE The purpose of The Corporation shall be to organize the activities of the members of the Democratic Socialists of America. Its activities shall include education and advocacy.

And they must, if we and our children are to lead lives of dignity, decency, and fulfillment. Our commitment to democracy comes from our recognition of the moral equality of persons. People really are created equal, and their...

After allegations surfaced in early summer over the 'New Party's' endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and 'New Party' then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA's New Party. On Tuesday...

Obama is Hiding a Radical Past Did you know that Barack Obama was a member of the leading socialist party?

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.

This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live. Among other things,...

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.

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...

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...
