Socialists in the House
      
 In Washington D.C. there is powerful and popular
lobby called the Progressive
Caucus which is openly espousing the principles of socialism and who have
signed onto the agenda of the Democratic Socialists of America.
According to their
statement of
purpose, "The Progressive Caucus is organized around the principles of
social and economic justice, a non-discriminatory society and national
priorities which represent the interests of all people, not just the wealthy
and the powerful.
Our purpose is to present
thoughtful, practical solutions to the economic and social problems facing
America. Our people-based agenda extends from job creation to job training, to
economic conversion, to single payer healthcare reform, to adequate funding for
the AIDS crisis, to environmental reform, and to women's rights.
Now that the cold war is
over, this nation's budget and overall priorities must reflect that reality. We
support further cuts in outdated and unnecessary military spending, a more
progressive tax system in which wealth taxpayers and corporations contribute
their fair share, and a substantial increase in social programs designed to
meet the needs of low-and-middle-income American families. We believe that
these goals fit within an overall commitment to deficit reduction."
Democratic-Socialist
Reform
We have been told that
Socialism is all right, when in fact it is not all right. It is slavery
with a beautiful face.
We are told that we can
have Socialist reform and still be a Democratic nation. Deceptive and misguided
politicians in both the Republican and Democratic parties, and the
International Bankers, tell us that Democratic-Socialism is in the middle of
the road between Communism and Fascism, and that we need a Democratic-Socialist
state as we go into the 21st. Century with its global economy.
Nothing could be further
from the truth. Socialist reform is a means to consolidate and control
wealth. Why do you suppose that bankers and the super-rich promote it? Because
the idea that socialism is a share-the-wealth program is strictly a confidence
game to get the people to surrender their freedom to an all-powerful
collective. As a result, through the legislative process, like sheep going to
slaughter, Americans are willingly and slowly sacrificing their liberty in
exchange for the false promises of an increasingly Socialist State.
Simply put, socialism is defined as "a theory or
system of social reform which contemplates a complete reconstruction of
society, with a more just and equitable distribution of property and
labor." [Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
(1913)] It is an economic system based on state ownership of capital. It
is the antithesis of what America is ... it is contrary to our capitalistic
society.
What socialism amounts to
is government ownership and/or control over the basic means of production and
distribution of services and goods. This means the government controls
everything, including you.
In Socialism everything is
regulated by the government and everything you do is monitored by the
government. While we may not have yet reached the point where the state tells
you what color you can paint your house, how many children you may have, etc.,
instead the government tells you where you can build your homes, your
businesses, and even how much food storage you are entitled too.
Americas slide toward Socialism can be seen as
early as 1929 following the Stock Market Crash, when America suddenly needed a
"New Deal" in the form of social welfare. The rate of the
transformation has been increased in recent years by the
United
Nations, whose entire purpose is to implement a Socialist World Order.
America's gravitation
toward socialism has been long-term and precedes even the arrival of Bill and
Hillary Clinton in the White House. Economist Milton Friedman recently observed
that "in 1950, total government spending, federal, state, and local,
amounted to less than 30 percent of national income; in 1992, to nearly 45. In
addition, government-mandated expenditures by individuals and businesses have
multiplied manifold ... The U.S. is today more than half socialist, compared to
perhaps a third in 1950." [Rush Limbaugh, See, I Told You
So, pg. 267.]
There are the social and
political voices talking about the unfair distribution of wealth and resources
- that a global system of sharing and redistribution could remedy the social
problems of cross-national envy, and that if this were addressed, a major
component of international strife and war would be removed forever.
Clinton's "Bridge into
the 21st Century" is built on the crumbled moorings of the past. It is the
same bridge built by the "New Deal" of FDR and the "Great
Society" of LBJ. These bridges led us into the abyss of unprecedented big
government. Our toll was a loss of freedom and dignity, and our destination
decades of encroaching bureaucracy and generations addicted to the hand of
government.
Clinton's favorite answer
to all questions is government. Got a problem? Bill
Clinton's new government program can fix it. Lost your job?
Sign up for an employee retraining program.
Feeling a little under the weather? A visit to your
regional health alliance will shape you up. Originally created to
defend and protect, our government is now being asked to provide. In short,
many Americans today think the government must be the answer to all societal
problems. And as the problems grow, so must the government.
Traditionally, Democrats
have stood for big government, far-reaching federally controlled and federally
funded programs and taxation at levels to match.
In the simplest of terms,
the sum of Bill Clinton's administration amounts to a federal government
takeover of the management of American business,
health
care,
education
and the American
family. Clinton's actions over the past few years demonstrate that he
envisions much more than mere renewal or reform; he wants to
create an
entirely new society controlled by a massive Socialist government. One has
to only scan through a few of Clinton's policies in
economic,
spending, and tax strategy to see that sovereignty and personal freedoms
are the items actually targeted for reduction.
Bill
Clinton's Foundational Philosophy for the Socialist State
At his acceptance speech, President Clinton
singled out Dr. Carroll Quigley as being one whom helped to form his political
outlook. Quigley was a liberal academic with a very identifiable world view.
Quigley is known principally for his 1,338 page tome called Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Times
originally published in 1966.
Quigley wrote approvingly
of the power, influence and activities of what he called "the
network" that tries to rule the Western world. The
"network" always prefers Big Government, big federal spending, and
the stability of a planned society rather than the uncertainties of the free
market. One example of the power of the network is the way it has forced
the American taxpayers to spend some $10 billion a year on foreign giveaways
every year since World War II.
Quigley described the
Council on Foreign Relations as one of several
"front" organizations set up by the network for the purpose of
advancing its internationalist schemes. He boasted: "I know of the
operations of this network because I have studied it for 20 years and was
permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret
records." Quigley asserted that he was personally acquainted with the
dynastic
families of the super-rich, and he traced their immense power and
influence. For the most part, he was a fan of their goals and policies and said
that his chief difference with the "network" was that "it wishes
to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to
be known."
The "Hope" in his
book's title represented the collectivist
one-world society that will exist when the "network"
achieves its goal of consolidating its rule. All who resist this man-made
millennium represent the "Tragedy," and Quigley asserted that it was
too late for ordinary people to fight it.
