Common Folk Using Common Sense

Progressives are individuals who are ostensibly working within the republic and its capitalist system, while their real goal is to subvert it, weakening its foundation, the Constitution of the United States of America, and amending it to reflect the Marxist-Socialist philosophy described as Progressivism.

In the United States House of Representatives, these people all belong to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, established in the early 1990’s. The members of the Progressive Caucus also belong to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a confederation of socialists formed in 1983 when a splinter group of the Socialist Party (Michael Harrington’s Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, DSOC) merged with the Students for a Democratic Society’s (SDS) splinter group, the New American Movement (NAM).

The main aim of DSA was to convert the Democratic Party into a social democratic organization. to that end, during the early 1990’s, the DSA hosted the Progressive Caucus’ website, which contained the names of its members. When the word got out, all the information regarding the Progressive Caucus vanished. These congress critters don’t want you to know that their true color is red.

The DSA has many celebrity members, including feminist Gloria Steinem, actor Ed Asner, black activist Cornel West, and libertarian socialist Noam Chomsky. It is also the chief American member group of the Socialist International, which includes the British Labour Party and the French Parti Socialiste.

Some of the current members are Rep. John Conyers (Michigan), Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (Illinois), Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (Texas), Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Rep. Charles Rangel (New York), and Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont). Former members include Rep. Cynthia McKinney (Georgia) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (California).

OK, so what, you say?

In 1996 Obama received the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for the Illinois state senate seat. Obama was an associate of the Chicago branch of the DSA. He has since quietly moved away from being openly associated with the DSA, although his voting record proves his allegiance.

In 2006 Obama enthusiastically campaigned for openly socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders, who won his seat in 2006, called Obama “one of the great leaders of the United States Senate,” even though Obama had only been in the Senate for less than two years.

In 2007 an analysis of “lifetime voting records,” shows Obama as the most liberal Democrat in Congress, with a score of 84.3 after two full years in the Senate. The most liberal score possible was 99. The study was released by the National Journal, a respected inside-the-Beltway research report.

Also in 2007 Obama made the startling comment, “We’ve got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money.” Apparently Obama agrees with Karl Marx on income redistribution.

Also in 2007, at the Apollo Theater fundraiser, Obama was introduced by the radical Marxist professor and self-styled rapper, Cornell West, as “my comrade.” What does this tell you about Obama, when he chooses to be introduced by one of the most radical Marxists in America as, “my comrade?”

In 2008 we learn that the U.N.’s “Millennium Project,” says that the U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of its GNP in increased foreign aid spending would add $65 billion a year to what the U.S. already spends. Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.’s Financing for Development conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S. is expected to meet the “Millennium Development Goals,” this amounts to $845 billion. And the only way to raise that kind of money is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels. Obama openly support the US’s role in funding the UN’s “Millennium Project”.

In a little over two months you decide if you want Obama to lead this country.

Progressive, Marxist, Socialist, Obama
