True goal of socialism from the horse’s mouth – WND – WND.com

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! announced President Ronald Reagan at the Berlin Wall, June 12, 1987.

Begun after Lenins Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Soviet Union existed from 1922 to 1991. With its motto Workers of the World, Unite! the Soviet tactic was to train agitators, community organizers, labor organizers, and agent provocateurs provoking agents. These would organize people with grievances and stir up riots to subvert and tear down the existing government. When social chaos caused major domestic disruptions, the public would then willingly accept a new order. Unfortunately, rather than a wonderful utopian society of equality, the efforts of these naive useful idiots simply paved the way for martial law and a military communist dictatorship.

Franklin Roosevelt addressed Delegates of the American Youth Congress, Feb. 10, 1940: Some of you are Communists. You have no American right, by act or deed of any kind, to subvert the government and the Constitution of this Nation.

Instead of setting up a workers paradise, power was usurped by communist dictators who exercised totalitarian life and death control over some 293 million people across 11 time zones.

Addressing naive students that thought communism would redistribute wealth equally, President Franklin Roosevelt told the American Youth Congress, Feb. 10, 1940: The Soviet Union is run by a dictatorship as absolute as any other dictatorship in the world.

Under the Soviet dictatorship:

Vladimir Lenin stated: The goal of socialism is communism.

Roosevelt stated Feb. 10, 1940: I disliked the regimentation under Communism. I abhorred the indiscriminate killings of thousands of innocent victims. I heartily deprecated the banishment of religion, though I knew that some day Russia would return to religion for the simple reason that four or five thousand years of recorded history have proven that mankind has always believed in God in spite of many abortive attempts to exile God.

President Harry S Truman stated Jan. 20, 1949: Communism is based on the belief that man is so weak and inadequate that he is unable to govern himself, and therefore requires the rule of strong masters. Democracy is based on the conviction that man has the moral and intellectual capacity, as well as the inalienable right, to govern himself with reason and justice.

Truman continued: Communism subjects the individual to arrest without lawful cause, punishment without trial, and forced labor as a chattel of the state. It decrees what information he shall receive, what art he shall produce, what leaders he shall follow, and what thoughts he shall think. Democracy maintains that government is established for the benefit of the individual, and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the rights of the individual and his freedom. These differences between Communism and Democracy do not concern the United States alone. People everywhere are coming to realize that what is involved is material well-being, human dignity, and the right to believe in and worship God.

President Ronald Reagan began his address at Berlins Brandenburg Gate, June 12, 1987: Twenty-four years ago, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin, speaking to the people of this city and the world. Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash. There remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state.

Reagan continued: Just as truth can flourish only when the journalist is given freedom of speech, so prosperity can come about only when the farmer and businessman enjoy economic freedom. There stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Reagan added: Perhaps this gets to the root of the matter, to the most fundamental distinction of all between East and West. The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship. The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.

Reagan concluded: Years ago the East Germans erected a secular structure: the television tower at Alexander Platz. Virtually ever since, the authorities have been working to correct what they view as the towers one major flaw, treating the glass sphere at the top with paints and chemicals of every kind. Yet even today when the sun strikes that sphere that sphere that towers over all Berlin the light makes the sign of the cross. There in Berlin, like the city itself, symbols of love, symbols of worship, cannot be suppressed.

Ronald Reagans vice president was George H.W. Bush, born June 12, 1924. Early in his career, George H.W. Bush served as the head of the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing. Bush told Amish and Mennonite leaders in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, March 22, 1989: Barbara and I went to China as your emissary in 1974, and we had wondered about the family in China Communist country, totalitarian. We knew that there had been almost entire banning on practicing and teaching Christianity. This was right after the Cultural Revolution.

Though as president, George H.W. Bush advocated an internationalist foreign policy, as indicated in his cryptic dream of a new world order speech, Sept. 11, 1990, he nevertheless acknowledged role of religion in Americas founding.

President George H.W. Bush stated in his inaugural address, Jan. 20, 1989: I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I place my hand is the Bible on which he placed his. And my first act as President is a prayer. I ask you to bow your heads.

On Feb. 22, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed Joint Resolution 164 declaring 1990 the International Year of Bible Reading: Among the great books produced throughout the history of mankind, the Bible has been prized above all others. The Bible has had a critical impact upon the development of Western civilization. It was a biblical view of man one affirming the dignity and worth of the human person, made in the image of our Creator that inspired the principles upon which the United States is founded. The historic speeches of Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., provide compelling evidence of the role Scripture played in shaping the struggle against slavery and discrimination. We recall the words of the prophet Isaiah, who declared, The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. When you have read the Bible you will know that it is the Word of God. Now, therefore, I, George Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the year 1990 as the International Year of Bible Reading. I invite all Americans to discover the great inspiration and knowledge that can be obtained through thoughtful reading of the Bible.

On May 3, 1990, President George H.W. Bush declared a national day of prayer: The great faith that led our Nations Founding Fathers to pursue this bold experience in self-government has sustained us in uncertain and perilous times. Like them, we do very well to recall our firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, and to pray for continued help and guidance from our wise and loving Creator.

In his 1992 national day of prayer proclamation, President George H.W. Bush stated: Whatever our individual religious convictions may be, each of us is invited to join in this National Day of Prayer. Each of us can echo this timeless prayer of Solomon, the ancient king who prayed for, and received, the gift of wisdom: The Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us; so that He may incline our hearts to Him, to walk in all His waysthat all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other.'

President George H.W. Bush stated in his Christmas message, Dec. 8, 1992: As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life offers us a model of dignity, compassion, and justice, we renew our commitment to peace. Christ made clear the redemptive value of giving of oneself for others. The heroic actions of our veterans, the lifesaving work of our scientists and physicians, and generosity of countless individuals who voluntarily give of their time, talents, and energy to help others all have enriched humankind and affirmed the importance of our Judeo-Christian heritage in shaping our government and values.

California’s descent to socialism – Hot Air

Unlike its failed predecessor, this new, greener socialism seeks not to weaken, but rather to preserve, the emerging class structure. Brown and his acolytes have slowed upward mobility by environment restrictions that have cramped home production of all kinds, particularly the building of moderate-cost single-family homes on the periphery. All of this, at a time when millennials nationwide, contrary to the assertion of Browns smart growth allies, are beginning to buy cars, homes and move to the suburbs.

In contrast, many in Sacramento appear to have disdain for expanding the California dream of property ownership. The states planners are creating policies that will ultimately lead to the effective socialization of the regulated housing market, as more people are unable to afford housing without subsidies. Increasingly, these efforts are being imposed with little or no public input by increasingly opaque regional agencies.

To these burdens, there are now growing calls for a single-payer health care system which, in principle, is not a terrible idea, but it will include the undocumented, essentially inviting the poor to bring their sick relatives here. The state Senate passed the bill without identifying a funding source to pay the estimated $400 billion annual cost, leading even former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to describe it as snake oil. It may be more like hemlock for Californias middle-income earners, who, even with the cost of private health care removed, would have to fork over an estimated $50 billion to $100 billion a year in new taxes to pay for it.

In the end, we are witnessing the continuation of an evolving class war, pitting the oligarchs and their political allies against the states diminished middle and working classes.

DeMint eyes ‘new mission’ for Tea Party: Changing the Constitution – The Hill (blog)

Jim DeMint, the recently ousted head of the Heritage Foundation, has taken on a new mission for the conservative Tea Party Movement to amend the U.S. Constitution,USA Today reportedMonday.

DeMint has joined The Convention of Sates Project, which reportedly aims to start a grassroots, state-led effort to amend the U.S. Constitution by scaling back its federal spending and power as well as address federal term limits.

The former South Carolina senator (R), who was ousted from the think tank last month, will serve as a senior adviser to the group.

The Tea Party needs a new mission, DeMint told the newspaper. They realize that all the work they did in 2010 has not resulted in all the things they hoped for. Many of them are turning to Article V.

While constitutional conventions are rare occurrences the last and first one being since 1787 the movement is gaining ground. Twelve states reportedly are in support of the efforts of DeMints new group, and they hope to double their number by next year.

DeMint believes the timing is ripe for their efforts after President Trumps election as well as with a Republican controlled Congress.

This is a perfect time for us, DeMint said. People are disgusted with Washington. They are ready to move power back closer to home.

Although three primary issues reining in the U.S. governments power over states, and imposing both fiscal restraint on Washington as well as term limits on federal officials DeMint reportedly suggested that other amendments could be proposed to address issues surrounded the federal budget and ending lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices.

DeMint is seen as a major GOP figure who helped Republicans and Tea Party activists gain control of the House in 2010.

He called his sudden dismissal from Heritage "perplexing" after the conservative think tank's board of directors voted to remove him from his top position, citing "worsening management issues."

The formal announcement of DeMints new position is expected Monday, USA Today reports.

Mark Meckler, a co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, will also be reportedly a leading figure in these efforts.

Brooklyn Tea Party endorses McCabe for council – Brooklyn Daily Eagle

In a progressive city like New York, where political candidates usually try to outflank each other on the left, there is one Brooklyn City Council where the right still has a strong voice and where people running for office court it.

The Brooklyn Tea Party is stepping into the Republican Primary in the 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst, Bath Beach). The party has endorsed Republican Liam McCabe for the Council seat.

Brooklyn Tea Party President Glenn Nocera said the endorsement was made out of a conviction that McCabe, a former aide to U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island), will fight for the community.

Liam McCabe is a proven leader who has shown how hard he will work for the community through his past experience working for elected officials and through his own independent work to help and to fight for our neighborhoods, Nocera said in a statement.

McCabe, who quit his job at Donovans office to run for City Council, said he is gratified by the endorsement.

I am pleased to accept the endorsement from the Brooklyn Tea Party and to know that they trust me to focus on bringing resources and opportunities to the residents of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Bath Beach, and to stand up to the mayor and stand strong on the City Council on behalf of my neighbors, he said.

McCabe is also the founder and former CEO of Steeplechase Strategies, a political consulting firm.

McCabe has been endorsed by Donovan and has the support of City Comptroller candidate Michel Faulkner, former state Sen. David Storobin and the Brooklyn Teen Republican Club.

McCabe is one of three Republicans running in the Sept. 12 primary. Bob Capano and John Quaglione are also running for the GOP nomination. The Democrats running for the Council seat are Justin Brannan, Kevin Peter Carroll, Rev. Khader El-Yateem and Nancy Tong.

The general election will take place on Nov. 7.

McCabe recently made news with his proposal to have business owners adopt and subway stations.

McCabe said his Adopt-A-Station idea is based on the Adopt-A-Highway program that has seen great success over the years.

Under Adopt-A-Highway, organizations or individuals agree to maintain sections of roadways and in exchange a sign is placed at the location listing the name of the organization or person.

McCabe said the same concept could work for stations along the R line in Bay Ridge.

I recommend we introduce an Adopt-a-Subway Program that allows private businesses to help support the maintenance of specific subway stations and segments of MTA train lines, McCabe said in a statement.

Adopt-A-Highway is a tax-deductible program in which New Yorkers agree to clean and maintain sections of roadways in the city. McCabes plan would give businesses free signage and free advertising space in stations in exchange for financial support for station maintenance.

Many of the issues we are seeing with the MTA come from a lack of accountability. Bringing in more stakeholders, especially those who are able to add to funding for maintenance and upkeep, creates accountability and promotes the cleaner, safer commuting experience that New Yorkers need to rely on.
