Democrats - Why wont you just go ahead and call yourselves socialists?

Question

Really. Come on. Lets call a spade a spade. Be honest. Its OK. And, for those of you who are very far left, you can be honest and say you are communist. Its OK.

Do any of you have the cajones do admit to it?

Stingray - just so you know. I lost most of my hair in the car wreck that put me in prison. After 4 years in the USMC and during my 3rd year of college. So, I shave my head now. Thanks for asking so we could clear that up!

Answer 1

Better than that, they should call themselves Communists. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND THINK OF WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS SUPPORTED AND STOOD FOR SINCE 1963:::::::::::::::
1963 Communist Goals
Printable Version
The communist goals were entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69).
1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength."
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites.
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN.
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN.
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo).
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13) Do away with loyalty oaths.
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office.
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US.
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers.
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy."
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture": Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

Answer 2

Right after you right wing bush backers declare yourselves to be members of the new Nazi Third Reich party, headed up by the fuhrer bush. I mean it's OK, everyone already knows.

I mean lets call a Nazi a Nazi. It's OK that you do not want constitutional rights for the American citizens including freedom of speech and marching in goose step as fuhrer bush makes illegal war in Iraq.

One of your trainer/handlers, Lush Rimbaugh, the king of prescription drug abuse, from his own mouth proclaimed you and other right wingers to be ditto heads and skulls full of mush. Old fat little fuzz ball may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but he do tell it like it is sometimes.

By the way, who stole your hair, or did you donate it when you became a brain donor? Do you have the cajones to admit you are backing a losing chimp? It's OK, you can come out of the closet now,

Answer 3

I don't have cajones, but I'll admit to agreeing with some aspects of socialism, but not in the extreme.

"An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity. There are many varieties of socialism. Some socialists tolerate capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; others insist on an abolition of private enterprise."

Matthew 25:40: "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me."

Answer 4

They are different. Kaiser girl and Sam K are absolutely right, if you're going to link Democrats and Socialists then you may as well call being a Republican, a Fascist. And if that's the case, I prefer Socialism over Fascism any day.

Answer 5

Thanks to "Just the Fact's" i was looking for that exactly, i was also trying to find the clip from the Glenn Beck radio show, where he went over this discussion. It's easy to see communist ideas in the Democrat's Ideology.

Answer 6

They are communists. Check out the official communist party website and tell me that's it's not the democrats agenda almost verbatim.

Answer 7

I would have to say I'm probably part socialist on things, you can't have any form of pure government. Although, if I'm Democrat and part socialist you Republicans would have to be part Fascist, right?

Answer 8

I am a socialist, and would rather not be associated with many democrats.

Why wouldn't a person admit to being a socialist or a communist? It's not like they're being asked to admit to being a republican.

Answer 9

I agree Hey skinhead did you also know Bush is a c-cklovin sellout also ,he is PRO AMNESTYwhich mean he loves Mexico!

Answer 10

Ok, I'm a socialist, just don't say it like it is a bad thing. Learn from other country's that it can work right along side a democracy. .

Answer 11

I wish I'd have posted this question. haha.
