Lots of Commies...

in the Dem Party. Not surprising to those of us in the know, but many useful idiots are clueless.

Socialists in the U.S. Congress
A list of seventy alleged American Socialist Party members has been winging its way around the internet.

Unfortunately, while most of those listed are indeed socialists, there is no such organization as the American Socialist Party. There is a small Socialist Party USA and the U.S.'s largest Marxist organization Democratic Socialists of America - which works largely inside the Democratic Party.

The list actually appears to be a membership roster of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.


This organization was formed in 1991 by openly socialist independent Congressman Bernie Sanders, the far left Institute for Policy Studies, and Democratic Socialists of America.

Because the Progressive Caucus was hosted for many years on the D.S.A. website, some have claimed that all Progressive Caucus membership D.S.A. membership are synonymous. That may possibly have been the case, in the early years, but I have seen no evidence that it still applies.

What is beyond doubt is that most Progressive Caucus members are indeed socialists. In a European country, most would be comfortable in either the Socialist, Communist or green parties.

Several current or former Progressive Caucus members appear to have been members of D.S.A. including Neil Abercrombie, Danny K. Davis, Ron Dellums, Jerry Nadler and Major Owens.

Some members like Barbara Lee and Luis Gutierrez have been involved in Marxist-Leninist parties.

Many others have ties to D.S.A., the Communist Party USA, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, the Institute for Policy Studies, or other far left groups.

Many also have maintained ties to Cuba, Venezuela, Saddam Hussein's Iraq or other anti U.S. regimes.

Prominent recent former members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus include Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Obama's Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Obama Transition Team member and former Democratic Party whip, David Bonior. Since leaving the house, David Bonior has formally joined D.S.A.

At more than 70 members, the Progressive Caucus is the most powerful bloc in the U.S. Congress, leading several powerful committees, including Judiciary (John Conyers) and until recently, Ways & Means (Charles Rangel).

It is also important to note that many far left Senators and Congressmen and NOT members of the Progressive Caucus - Senator Tom Harkin from Iowa and Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy (one time D.S.A. member) from Ohio being good examples.

If you follow the blue links on this page it will lead you to biographies of all those listed on this post, from our sister site KeyWiki - our online encyclopedia of the American left. The KeyWiki Congressional Progressive Caucus page also lists former members of the organization.

Communist Party USA (CPUSA)

About us "The Party" section:

Founded in 1919, the Communist Party USA has championed the
struggles for democracy, labor rights, women’s equality,
racial justice and peace for ninety years. The Communist
Party has an unparalleled history in the progressive
movement of the United States, from the struggle against Jim
Crow segregation, the organizing of the industrial unions,
from the canneries of California, to the sweatshops of New
York City.

A special report to the 29th National Convention of the Communist Party:

The 2010 elections are at the center of the struggle for working class relief from economic crisis, poverty, inequality and environmental devastation. Why? Because this election will either solidify the progressive breakthrough of 2008, or send the country reeling backward.

Barack Obama's election as president was a victory won by an amazing broad alliance of which we were a part. Our contribution focused on building unity, challenging racism and expanding voter participation.

A way out of the deepening crisis:

A decisive defeat of the right - signified by larger Democratic majorities, the growth of the progressive wing in Congress, a higher degree of trade union organization and struggle, a decline in the influence of rightwing ideology, a higher degree of multiracial unity and anti-racist consciousness, greater unity and vision of the all people's coalition, and so forth - will profoundly alter the political landscape.

Imagine what the past year would have looked like if the right had been fully dethroned from its positions of power in the last election!

...But remember, it's considered right wing kookery to associate the Democrat Party, Progressives, Socialists and Communists as being closely aligned.

 

[Gipper]

...But remember, it's considered right wing kookery to associate the Democrat Party, Progressives, Socialists and Communists as being closely aligned.

No doubt. I am constantly reminded of this by one poster here who has a fondness for Mary Jane.

Most of the left wing ideologies/groups/political parties are tied together. But, the useful idiots are unaware of this. They think those who believe this are nuts. How does one get so brainwashed? Sheep. They are just mindless sheep.

 

[pocketfullofshells]

the KKK votes Republican...therefor....Republicans are the KKK!

does that sound stupid? wait what if I draw it on a white board with lines!

 

[bododie]

the KKK votes Republican...therefor....Republicans are the KKK!

does that sound stupid

Yeah it does, and yet it's one of the favorite war chants of libs. BTW, do YOU have names?

 

[pocketfullofshells]

Yeah it does, and yet it's one of the favorite war chants of libs. BTW, do YOU have names?

no I have logic....

 

[bododie]

no I have logic....

Then you're no lib. Lol. Are you actually trying to say that anyone who isn't a democrat supports the Klan? Where did you get your logic. Out of a crackerjack box? Or a black panther meeting?

 

[Gipper]

Yeah it does, and yet it's one of the favorite war chants of libs. BTW, do YOU have names?

Be nice to pocketpool.

We post numerous Dems who have ties to commie and marxist organizations and his response is the KKK votes R so Rs are the KKK. I know its nonsensical, but consider the source.

The poor little dude does not know the KKK was founded by Dems and run by Dems for over a century. And, the KKK today is nearly non-existent and has no ties to the R party.

But, facts are stubborn things...for some people.

 

[bododie]

But, facts are stubborn things...for some people.

But Gipper, I'm not nice. I'm a 50+ year old native Californian living in Texas because of what libs did to California. No mercy here.

 

[Gipper]

But Gipper, I'm not nice. I'm a 50+ year old native Californian living in Texas because of what libs did to California. No mercy here.

Yep I am with you.

Its just that many liberals refuse to accept reality or facts or history. And we must remember, Liberalism is a mental disorder. So, we should not be too hard on them. They have an illness that often times is not caused by their behavior. They need psychiatric help...and I am willing to provide it.

 

[bododie]

They need psychiatric help...and I am willing to provide it.

Well that proves you're a lot nicer than I am. I'm not willing to provide it. I am willing to vote for anything that doesn't protect people from their own idiocy. Enough is enough.

 

[pocketfullofshells]

Then you're no lib. Lol. Are you actually trying to ssay that anyone who isn't a democrat supports the Klan? Where did you get your logic. Out of a crackerjack box? Or a black panther meeting?

first I would make a crappy black panther..what with my white Irishness.

2nd no I was saying that Since a member of the KKK is far more likey to vote for a repubilcan...does that mean they are working together and close? No...Just like yes a communist if voting for one of the 2 major parties...would be more likey do vote Dem...also does not mean they are close to same thing

Most communist would vote Dem ( of the 2 parties)
More Dems...are not Communist

Most KKK members...would vote Republican ( of 2 major parties)
Most republicans...are not KKK members.

 

[bododie]

You may be Irish Pockets, but all you seem to do is blame white people for all the ills of non whites. That's not true either. It's the tired old cry of those who try to take the easy way out for their misfortunes and personal inadequacies.

 

[GenSeneca]

Most KKK members...would vote Republican ( of 2 major parties)

According to what? Your Leftist intuition? Because all Leftists say so?

Go to the KKK's website... Cut and paste from the "About Us" section where they identify themselves as "Conservatives", then add a quote about how they wish to see the Conservative movement take over Congress because that's how they can get their agenda moved forward, and finally show a snippet that explains their explicit support for the Republican party.

Until you can do that, your assertion that the KKK supports Republicans is worthless.

And some Americans (libs mostly) still believe the Dem party is not a commie party...how can this be when the truth is so easy to see? Some of these delusional libs regularly post here at the HOP.

Crazy!!!!
