Dem Wants Communism Promotion in Schools

You need to hook up with Comrade RevMitchell to trade ideas about red baiting strategies and tactics. Foolishness once again shows up on this board. You have far bigger things to fear than Democrats. Your liberty has been bought with the blood of both Republican AND Democratic patriots. Shame on you for turning a difference in politics into an opportunity to malign your fellow countrymen.

 

Where does this type of trash come from and why is it that some actually believe it. They must be totally unaware of our world today.:BangHead:

 

So which part of this story is untrue?

 

Just consider the source...

MP, don't you know that all of us democrats are undercover commies! :laugh:

I was thinking the same thing. :laugh:

 

Can't..........................stop...........................LAUGHING!!
:laugh:

Consider the source, MP: the WorldNet Daily?

Here is the article in question:

<long pause>
Again, I can't stop LAUGHING!!

Regards MP: hope all is well with you and yours,

Likewise, BiR! Indeed, we are doing well.

 

Communists

Looking back over the last 8 years it seems it is the Republicians who have inched our way toward a Communist ... or at least a totalitarian government. Let's see, under which administration Republican or Democrat did this happen:

1. Pass a law whereby people can be detained for any length of time, sometimes for years, and not be allowed to know why or by whom they were detained? Thus 700 years of Habis Corpus overturned.

2. Have constructed large electronic bill board on major highways that do carry messages on traffic occasionally, but when not used for that purpose carry the message, "Report Suspicious Activity" followed by a telephone number. Old Communist tactic.

3. Began using torture on foreign prisoners.

Well, that's a start on the list, others may want to add more. All these totalitarian tactics have come about under a Republician president and a Republician controlled Congress.

:BangHead:

 

4. Getting information on what books people buy (happened here in Denver) or check out of the library without telling them and without a subpoena.

5. Can go into your home when you aren't there and never tell you, all without a warrant.

6. Can declare you, as an American citizen, to be an "enemy combatant" outside the reach of your Constitutional rights.

7. Use of "opposite speak"... e.g. "war" is "peace"

8. Continued lying to the people...e.g. "Saddam is a threat with his WMD", "Saddam was involved in 9/11", and "We've never been about 'stay the course'".

 

leesw, you were right. Listen to them howl. Oh the injustice of pointing out the truth concerning the leftist agenda. Now, they'll howl at me too. Let the insults roll.

 

Yeah boy...the nutty right loves to make ridiculous assertions, but challenge them and they are either being persecuted or any who disagree with their inanity are the ones out of bounds. Typical rightie bull! May I offer you crybabies a towel?

 

People don't believe that your #5 is true but it actually happened to a good Christian friend of mine.

 

Religious right

Have you noticed how quiet our 'religious right' folk here have been concerning the rights, as pointed out, that have been taken away the last eight years ... and the use of well known totalarian tactics this administration has approved. They say they are for freedom, but they do not defend our rights that have made us free. Indeed they have cheered as these right have been eroded.:tonofbricks:

 

If anyone is interested, here is the bill being introduced. It is set for hearing on March 26. California Senate : SB 1322

It looks like the goals of this bill are to remove existing portions of the Education Code of California that ...

1) prevent school property from being used for a meeting of a non-profit organisation that is Communist or intend to overthrow the US gov by violence if they cannot find another location. For other groups, the school district is forced to allow such a meeting to take place on the property if they can't find another location.

2) allow teachers to be fired for being a Communist party member.

3) prohibit teachers from teaching Communism for the purpose of indoctrination on school property.

4) require public employees to answer questions under oath regarding membership with an organisation advocating violent overthrow of the US gov.



I believe the intent of the bill is to remove antiquated portions of the code that appear no longer appear to be an issue of concern.

Point 2 should be removed from the code. I think valid arguments can be made for the removal or modification of 1, 3 and 4.

 

How in the world could you justify allowing a card carry communist to teach in our public schools? Please instruct us "crybabies."

 

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

George Santayana wisely said,
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Wisdom indeed. I think that Communism should be taught in our schools from Engels/Marx and the manifesto to Linen, Stalin, Mao, et al; The out and out brutality of millions dead under their teachings and rule. How the populace under their control are sent to prison camps to spend the rest of their lives in brutal conditions of squalor. If for only proclaiming Christ. I will stand on record that I want it to be taught.
Quite frankly I think that we have been under Communist rule for some time now.
Excerpt from The Communist Manifesto;
Communist Manifesto
Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionizing the mode of production.

These measures will, of course, be different in different countries.

Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
This right is being whittled down little by little with regulation and zoning codes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
IRS anyone?

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Death Tax anyone?

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Hmmm! Are we being played as fools in this emigration debate that is going on ?

5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Two words, FEDERAL RESERVE!

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
EEOC

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
Urban sprawl.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.
NEA

I think many of us have been sleeping very soundly.

 

Gold Dragon just posted a link to the actual bill, and he gave some points which seem to contradict what the OP was saying.
Has anyone even tried to follow that link and actually read and analyze the bill ?
I am not Democrat, but I don't think even the libs of libs among the Democrats will allow communism an actual foothold through legislation.
