Who Are They Really?

      Below is a list of goals that are current in 2015. Can you associate them with one party?

• Permit free trade between all nations regardless of ideology.
• 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. 
• Discredit past American culture. 
• Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition.
• Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
• 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.”
• Provide American aid to all nations regardless of ideology.
• Promote the U.N. that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. 
• Resist any attempt to outlaw any political party. 
• Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
• Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
• Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
• Get control of the schools. 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.
• Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principal 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.  
• Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.” 

       Yes, the list reads like today’s Democratic Party Platform. It was read into the Congressional Record, in 1963, by U.S. Rep. A.S. Herlong Jr., D-Fla. This is only a partial list but I encourage you to read the whole list. It can be found as “Current Communist Goals” as enumerated by Dr. Cleon Skousen in “The Naked Communist,” penned in 1958. Today's question is "Are we becoming The Communist States of America?"
