The Takeover of America

by M. Richard Maxson

    It seems like an eternity ago that the stated goals of the Socialist/Communist party in the

United States were put forward into the congressional record for all to see. There were 45 of these stated goals. For today's discussion I will list their main objectives. This is 1963, so read on and see if they were successful.

                              Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record

                                                          Appendix,

                                                         pp. A34-A35

• Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
• Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
• 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 textbooks.
• Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
• Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
• Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
• Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
• Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
• 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."
• Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
• 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.
• Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
• Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
•  Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

 

    If this were a sporting event it would be labeled a "blowout". They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in the takeover of this country. Can we, as a nation, recover to what was once was a shining light for the world?

     As a people, we need to look back and remember what it is that made this nation unique: its commitment to our God-given rights and liberties and the constitutional framework that allowed them to flourish.

    Unless we rededicate ourselves to restoring our liberty tradition and educating the uninitiated about the foundational importance of liberty and how our present course is destined to destroy it, we will not save ourselves.
