Saul Alinsky is alive & well and runs the W.H.

Here are the five countries who are still commies -

People’s Republic of China
Republic of Cuba
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)
Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos)
Socialist Republic of Vietnam

I would not say that these countries have ended - exploitation, poverty, racism or war. On the contrary - a few of these are considered the poorest nations on the earth.

And let’s remember who was communist:

….Fidel Castro has not been seen in public since July when he underwent surgery and temporarily handed power to his younger brother, Defense Minister Raul Castro. With many concerned about his health, some analysts say they do not expect the Cuban communist regime to survive without its 80-year-old founder.

East and Central European countries faced a similar crossroads when their own communist regimes ended in 1991. Now, 16 years later, the transition for many has been a great success:

“We have successfully turned away from a command economy to a flourishing market economy,” says Andras Simonyi, Hungarian Ambassador to the U.S. “Our societies are free. We have the freedom of speech. We have a free press. We have a rule of law and everybody is equal in front of our law. We have a multiparty political system, with checks and balances.”

Mr. Simonyi, and the ambassadors of Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic, participated in a roundtable discussion at the Voice of America.

Sixteen years after the demise of communism, these four nations are among the wealthiest post-Communist countries in Europe. The four are members of the European Union………

Obama will use spring summit to bring Cuba in from the cold

US companies are queuing up as the president moves to ease restrictions on travel and trade, raising hopes of warmer relations and an end to the embargo

When your typical garden variety Democratic representative is batting 95% with the CPUSA platform, that should tell you how far down the road we are.

Obama should be put on the hot seat and quizzed, to wit: “Exactly what are the differences between your legislative agenda and that of the CPUSA?”

He challenged the chairman of CPUSA to name one country where communism had succeeded and the guy was so stumped he was absolutely speechless.

Yes, we are at communism, not socialism; although there’s really little difference between the two except semantics.

Still, it’s not too late to turn it back and not just with a message from the Republican Party, which can’t seem to find one yet. It has to be real, not just words somebody is mouthing to win an election.

If using history as a guide, #5 has something to do with all Christians and Jews having to wear a mark, the mark will lead to round-ups, the round-ups will lead to slave camps, slave camps will lead to mass deaths in shallow graves.

Congrats on fine piece - quite limbaugh-esque.

I remember what the soviet threat felt like. When I was 10 we used to practice tucking our heads to our chests and cowering under our desks to prepare for nuclear holocaust. Now it’s a kinder gentler kind of communism. We can stay in “our” own homes and be slaves to the state.

Just started reading Witness by Whittacker Chambers. Chilling, very chilling. But as for The One. The Mask is certainly slipping what with the NYT calling him out. The One can not have that because the adoring fans might disapprove.

on the CP site remind you of anything?

So in examining your list from the CPUSA 4 Bold Policy Changes that have been done…

1. Immediate Relief
a. Moratorium on foreclosures, including resetting mortgages so payments are affordable. [Goal of the ZeObama and the Demoncrats, they are working on it, this is more or less the goal of the Porkubus and Porkulus Bills]

b. Extend unemployment compensation [DONE], increase payments and eligibility [DONE], increase food stamps [DONE], WIC [DONE], children’s health insurance [DONE], and low income energy assistance [DONE]. [All done through Porkulus]

c. assist deficit ridden state and local governments so they can preserve serviceds and jobs. Fund “ready-to-go” infrastructure projects. [DONE, being funded through Porkulus]

2. Peacetime, Green Jobs Economy for all
a. Enact massive public works jobs creation to make existing buildings energy efficient, construct new schools, hospitals, affordable housing, mass transit, and bridges. [DONE, being funded through the Porkulus]

b. Major clean, affordable energy development project for solar, wind, and biomass electricity generation. [DONE, funding through Porkulus] Immediate program to cut greenhouse gas emissions and for environmental cleanup [DONE, funding through Porkulus]. Restore Federal energy regulation and encourage public ownership of utilities. [Not done through any bill so far, though all it takes is a new regulatory policy of the EPA or DOE]

c. Enact the Employee Free Choice Act to enable workers to form unions without intimidation and win higher wages and benefits, dignity, and respect. [This has not be done, but commercials are running on TV funded by the Unions in support of this]

d. Enact the US National Health Insurance Act to provide universal health insurance with single payer financing. {DONE, New Budget proposal for a down payment on Health Care and the Porkubus Bill and funding provided in the Porkulus Bill for health care service education] Fully fund public education from pre-school through higher education and technical training… [Universal College Care, see goals of the Demoncrats, Not yet done]

3. Restore Civil Rights, the Bill of Rights, and Separation of Powers
a. Restore Civil Rights Act enforcement, affirmative action in employment, education, and housing… Outlaw hate crimes. Preserve Roe v. Wade.
b. Pass immigration reform with legalization, a path to citizenship, due process…
c. Repeal Patriot Act. Restore Habeas Corpus rights. No more torture. Investigate and prosecute Bush administration violations of the Constitution
d. Expand voting rights. Enact publically financed elections, same day registration, voting rights for ex-felons… Restore Fairness Doctrine in media.
[All of the above are currently preserved so I do not konw how these are bold policty changes]

4. Strength through Peace
a. Withdraw US troops from Iraq… Full care for returning veterans… [Withdrawl of troops by August of some damn year]
b. Adopt a new foreign policy of diplomacy and respect for all nations, instead of preemptive war for corporate interests. Renew commitment to UN peace role
[See the latest from the headlines in the UK and the reset button for Russia, DONE]

c. End trace policies that enrich corporations while destroying jobs. Ratify Kyoto Treaty and other climate change agreements. [Cap and Trade]

d. Enforce nuclear non-proliferation, work to abolish nuclear weapons. Cut Pentagon spending in half, close down US bases around the world. [Quarter cut in Pentagon spending by Barney Frank and no doubt this will happen in this years budget]

So all and all, OBAMA IS A COMMUNIST, HE SUPPORTS ALL OF THESE AND WE HAVE ALREADY FULFILLED 90% OF THE COMMUNIST AGENDA. Shall I go on and get you all specific references in the Porkulus bill or has everyone read it by now?

Socialism sure, but calling this communism is disingenuous. Mao and Stalin collectively killed over 130 million people (Hitler was a chump next to these two guys), and we’re faced with what? High taxes and 10% unemployment. People in my family were killed by Stalin. My girlfriend’s father (who has a PhD in computer science) was shipped off to a farm for 5 years by Mao during the cultural revolution. The current path that the USA is taking is unfortunate, but it’s nowhere close to communism.

…that so many in the media (speaking about Republicans/conservatives) are so afraid to call Obama what he is. He is a radical socialist-borderline-communist. I’ve heard soooo many Republicans saying “Ohhh he’s not a socialist, he’s just radical left-wing.”

It makes you really wonder if they have any idea what a socialist and/or communist really is and what they really believe, because everything I’ve seen come out of the White House so far is socialist/communist policies designed purely to destroy the REPUBLIC principles this country was built on.

The Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves right now.

“A Republic, if you can keep it…”
