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                                    

                                                     January 10, 1963

 

• 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.

Cry for America

By  

       M. Richard Maxson

    As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776: "...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."

    Thomas Jefferson wrote,"we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." By acknowledging that our rights are inalienable, Jefferson’s words and the first federal statute recognize that our rights come from our humanity -- from within us -- and not from the government.

    Today we have the opposite of what the Framers gave us. Today we have a government that alone decides how much wealth we can retain, how much free expression we can exercise, how much privacy we can enjoy. In the past year, all branches of the federal government have combined to diminish personal freedoms, in obvious and in subtle ways.

   In the case of privacy, we now know that the federal government has the ability to read all of our texts and emails and listen to all of our telephone calls -- mobile and land line -- and can do so without complying with the Constitution’s requirements for a search warrant. Jefferson also wrote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." 

    As the Declaration also stated that "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." 

    The time for separation is upon us. Will the American people rise up and return us to the Constitutional Democratic Republic that we were meant to be? I think not. This populace has been "opiated" with games and technology to distract us from our obligations and responsibilities as Americans. We no longer look to the Constitution for guidance as we have been taught that it is old, outdated, and cumbersome. We are being taught that Democratic Socialism is a far superior form of government. Our media has been taken over by this philosophy that is, ever so slowly, dripped into our psyche day after day everywhere we turn.

    The litany of the loss of freedom is sad and unconstitutional and irreversible. Bitterly and ironically, the government Jefferson wrought is proving the accuracy of Jefferson’s prediction that in the long march of history, government grows and liberty shrinks.                                           

                

                                Somewhere Jefferson is weeping.

Political Correctness

Guest Column

By Zeno Potas

     Political Correctness, the driving force of Socialism in these United States, is putting a stake through the heart of America. Facts are unimportant when it comes to the propaganda of the left. They will decide what the facts are for a modern DSSA. Invisible rules to rein in the European races are the unwritten rule of the society put in place by the new leftist establishment. Today's subject is race.
    Racism is not extinct and never will be as long as human beings walk the Earth. However, examples of overt or institutionalized racism are hard to find in America today. Of course, this reality doesn't matter a bit to the Democratic Socialists. It still sees racism everywhere it looks -- and it looks for it everywhere. Why? Because the left knows playing the race card is guaranteed to get them votes and saturated coverage from the friendly liberal media.
    The N-word was once heard in every corner of white America. Websters dictionary, in the past, had defined the word "nigger" as "being the lowest of the low, good for nothing, thief, cheat, liar, etc." Most of the people that I knew, that I considered "niggers", were white. That definition was changed some years ago in that same dictionary to only refer to blacks. There is little or no reference to the old definition in today's book.
    In today's world the "N" word is heard everywhere in urban America. Within the black urban community the word is ingrained in their speech patterns that some use it in one of every ten words that they utter. In rap and hip-hop music (if you want to call it music) it is almost mandatory. This community is given complete freedom from scrutiny to say or offend anyone they care to. From the current racist trial using the term "creepy-ass cracker" to descirbe a non-black to the everyday terms like "white-assed-SOB, white MF, or just plain honkey" there are no consequences for this. It is their right. They have been oppressed.
    Outside this community just say the "N" word once in your lifetime and your whole existence can be destroyed. If you are Latino, Caucasian, or purple it doesn't matter you will suffer the wrath of our racist society. The shoe is just on the other foot now.

   THIS is America 2013.

The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy

by 

       M. Richard Maxson

    When the term "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" was first coined by Hillary Clinton, the Progressive Socialists seized upon it and made it their battle cry. It was them, the little guy, who was being ganged up on had an unfair disadvantage in all things political. There were forces, powerful forces, behind everything that was decent, compassionate, and caring. This "conspiracy" was stopping every day people from achieving life and the pursuit of happiness. A simple magicians trick created the illusion of foreboding.

    Magicians use slight of hand, smoke and mirrors if you will, to fool the average person into believing something that isn't. To deny that there are not powerful monetary forces behind both political parities is to say that the earth does not revolve around the sun. Unfortunately for the "right" they are sinking fast in a stream of lies and half truths propagated upon them everyday that now are taken as gospel by the ever growing masses of the ill educated electorate.

    The cancer crept first into our universities and eventually our entire education system. Our young were re-educated to their new reality where if you stood for tradition, you were demonized. The "dumbing- down" of our schools in the type and scope of what is taught as to allow more of the under achievers to be accepted into the mainstream as they will be easier to manipulate.

   The slow take over of our once independent news media is almost complete. There was a time when it was not legal to own more than one newspaper in any one city, now men like George Soros control the majority of news outlets in the US and Europe. The news is now what they say it is. Only when their sub-ordinates get caught interfering with their news media is there a hint that something isn't right here.

    They've conquered the entertainment world especially the movie and television industry. It is filled with many rich once everyday people with nothing better to do with their time than become political "geniuses" ready to spout their "expert" opinion on everything that they know nothing or little about. The films and shows that are manufactured are filled with Socialist political messages that just seem to appear in the scripts. The documentaries are filled with these lies and half-truths that will be taken by future generations as reality.

    The Progressive Socialists pound out their message 24/7. Those on the left live this battle every minute of the day. They do it in their schools, in their homes, in their church, at work. They are constantly pushing their agenda, and they are marginalizing anybody and everybody who disagrees with them. It is relentless in all media in the country. Tell a lie long enough.....you know the rest.

    We are at a critical time in America because the transformation that the Progressive Socialists has dreamed about is actually happening. Many Americans are experiencing despair over what we believe is the destruction of this nation from within. We must look back and remember the foundations and timeless principles upon which this nation was built and recommit ourselves to them before it is too late. We fear that if we don't soon turn things around, we will lose the America we love.

Now An Attack on the First Amendment

by M. Richard Maxson


    The  Democratic Socialist Obama administration continuing attack on the Constitution continues by to be exposed bit by bit. It was not until the revelation that news organizations, specifically the AP, were being targeted did the press suddenly re-think it's love affair with it's "Progressive" friends.
     First, we discovered that the Justice Department had obtained two months’ worth of phone records from Associated Press journalists as part of a leak probe.  Now, The Washington Post reports that the Nation’s primary law enforcement agency has been tracking a Fox News reporter’s coming and goings from the State Department and has obtained a search warrant for the reporter’s personal emails.
     The FBI is reportedly making the unprecedented claim that the Fox journalist -- James Rosen -- broke the law by doing his job; namely, gathering information. No reporter has ever been prosecuted for soliciting information. The reaction from the news network was to the point, "We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter. In fact, it is downright chilling. We will unequivocally defend his right to operate as a member of what up until now has always been a free press." Brit Hume, a career and respected journalist was outraged and stated, "The Obama-Holder Justice Department is now prepared to treat the ordinary news gathering activities of reporters trying to seek information from government officials as a possible crime," he said.
    The administration’s moves against political reporters strike at the core of the First Amendment’s guarantee of a free press.  The framers of the Bill of Rights put the rights of speech and press together with the rights “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” A citizen’s right to investigate, and even to criticize, the government is “the heart of what the First Amendment was meant to protect,” according to Justice Antonin Scalia.
    This, along with the administrations determined attack on whistle-blowers who expose the ileagality of their actions should strike horror into the souls of true Americans. The attempt to smear and destroy these Patriots reputations and careers has it's roots in Communist Socialism.
    A new report from the Office of Inspector General report showed that Dennis Burke -- the former chief of staff for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano appointed as U.S. Attorney for Arizona by President Obama in September 2009 -- lied when asked if he leaked sensitive documents to the press meant to undermine the credibility of ATF whistle-blower John Dodson. The IG report also said Burke likely leaked the memo in retaliation for Dodson's whistle-blowing, and challenged the credibility of statements he made to congressional investigators.
    The report continues,  "We also concluded that Burke's disclosure of the Dodson memorandum was likely motivated by a desire to undermine Dodson's public criticisms of Operation Fast and Furious. Although Burke denied to congressional investigators that he had any retaliatory motive for his actions, we found substantial evidence to the contrary."
    So what did the Justice department do about the disclosure? A prominent Senator expressed it in chilling terms, "Instead of examining the allegations that came forward, the Justice Department almost immediately began to attack the credibility and good name of a dedicated federal agent upset with what he was ordered to do."
    This can only be the tip of the iceberg. Only a portion of what is going on under our noses and behind our backs. It will continue until the people wake up and stop electing Democratic Socialists to power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It may already be too late for America.
                                             

How to Hate America

by 

       M. Richard Maxson

    If you want lessons on hating America, college  might be a good start. Education is not merely neglected in many of our schools today, but is replaced to a great extent by ideological indoctrination. Moreover, it is largely indoctrination based on the same set of underlying and unexamined assumptions among teachers and institutions.

   The Progressives have dominated the educational system for decades. They clearly understood that a radical change in the role of government required a radical change in public opinion. For over 100 years, Progressives (today's liberals) have made it a stated goal to transform education - especially higher education - in America into something hostile to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The citizenry of this nation, for the most part, is the product of an education system that has brainwashed it students for several decades It started in Americans colleges where it's roots are now strong and indestructible. It spread down into the high schools and now, finally all the way down to kindergarten. Now, a student can go all the way from elementary school to a Ph.D. without encountering any fundamentally different vision of the world from that of the prevailing political correctness.

    What could possibly be wrong with what our young are taught? How about  "We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who supports it" That's taught to University of Hawaii students by Professor Haunani-Kay Trask. Richard Falk, professor emeritus at Princeton University and the U.N. Human Rights Council's Palestine monitor, explained the Boston bombings by saying, "The American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance in the post-colonial world." Professor Falk has also stated that President George W. Bush ordered the destruction of the twin towers.

    Or how about these:

     University of Southern California professor Darry Sragow preaches hate to his students in his regulation of elections and political finance class, recently telling them that Republicans are stupid, racist losers and that they are angry old white people. 

     Penn State University professor Matt Jordan compared supporters of the voter ID laws to the Ku Klux Klan. 

     University of Rhode Island history professor Erik Loomis stated that, "We can define NRA membership as dues contributing to a terrorist organization" 

     Then there's Georgetown law professor Louis Michael Seidman, who explained our national problems by saying, "Our insistence on obedience to the Constitution, with all its archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil provisions." 

    Those are some examples from the college ranks but how about in the high schools of our nation? A teacher at Lumberton High School in Texas encouraged students to dress in Islamic clothing and instructed them to refer to the 9/11 hijackers not as terrorists but as "freedom fighters." They were also told to stop referring to the Holocaust as genocide. John Valastro, the superintendent of the Lumberton Independent School District, stated that the teacher did absolutely nothing wrong. The list can go on and on.

    Many schools around the country no longer require their students to take a class in American government, civics, or American history. Here's a question: Do you know what textbook is being used in the American history class down at your local high school? If you don't know, you should ask. What you find may be surprising. They are probably reading liberal revisionist history, not historical fact. Every American must understand that when Progressives (Democratic-Socialists) use words such as "liberty" and "equality," they mean something far different from what our nation's founders described in the Declaration of Independence.

     What America needs is a real history lesson. Public opinion is shaped by education - or lack thereof. Those who understand the principles of liberty and wish to preserve them - we must all work to live up to our heritage. That begins with our own education and that of our fellow citizens, before it's too late!

 
    


    

    

What’s Your Constitutional IQ?

By M. Richard Maxson


    As our country lurches to the left and Civics, Government, and the American Constitution are no longer a part of many school systems cirriculum. As truths of our founding fathers gave us becomes a speck in our rear view mirror we needed a way to re-educate our youth. Here is an arictcle by Becket Adams about a new board game that is starting to catch on among true Americans. Constitutionals want it, the rest need it.

 by Becket Adams

    Pam and Dave Barret have long been concerned with what they call “constitutional literacy.”
And with their extensive backgrounds in education, it was only a matter of time before they came up with Constitution Quest, an innovative twist on teaching people the fundamentals of the supreme law of the United States.
    “For years, we had been talking about what we would do in our retirement years, and we knew we would continue to implement our very successful experiences as educators, So our creative efforts went into high gear to produce a product with real value…and with the help of our very creative and brilliant children, we made a family project of it,” it adds.
    But they saw more than a want for their product. They saw a real need for it.
   “The average American’s lack of familiarity with the U.S. Constitution coincides with an existential threat to the continuance of government of, by and for the people. Literacy empowers self-government, but the challenge, as well as the opportunity, is that in many ways our society has been moving toward a post-literate culture,” the Barrets say, “where there’s an abundance of rhyme but less reason, and  sophisms, and sound bites rule.”
    “We believed we could offer something of substance that would capture and sustain the interest of a distracted generation by making it fun,” it adds.
    Armed with a stack of constitution-related questions dating back to 2010, the Barrets set out to design a game that would teach players the basics of the critical document. “What we came up with was a beautiful, functional, interactive piece of art: an educational board game that people actually think is fun,” they said.

Cognitive Square, INC.

  
     It wasn’t long that they launched Constitution Quest that Cognitive Square, INC. In May 21, 2012, roughly 1,022 games have been sold. “The Constitution Quest Game is selling successfully at the James Madison’s Montpelier Museum Store, the Nixon Library Museum Store, the Reagan Library Museum Store, and DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. (in addition to small ‘mom and pop’ shops around the country),” they said. “These stores have ordered and reordered multiple times!”

Cognitive Square, INC.

    They aren’t the only ones who are excited about the game. Sales have exceeding all expectations.
“Since it went into the shrink-wrap, we have sold nearly 5000 units across America — covering ALL 50 states, and are already halfway through the second production run!” they said.

    With an enthusiastic and growing customer base, the Barrets’ creation has become a small business success story. “We took an idea and ran with it — we were passionate about it and we made something happen. That’s what being an American entrepreneur is all about,” they said. “We wanted the game to be beautiful, and Constitution Quest had to be made in America.
