The Progressive, Socialist, Communist Party is now the Democrat Party?

[Janice]

A Socialist on the High Court? Part Two

As a student, Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was so interested in the socialist movement that she wrote a thesis about its history in New York City from 1900-1933. But the history of the Progressive Party, which ran FDR’s former vice president Henry Wallace as its presidential candidate in 1948, helps bring the subject up to date and explains the current direction of the Democratic Party.

The Progressive Party was controlled by the Communist Party but efforts to work through the democratic process did not die out with its election defeat in 1948. Communists and “progressives” then targeted the Democratic Party for a takeover from within.

A semi-official history, in the form of the book, Gideon’s Army, was written by Curtis MacDougall, a professor of journalism at Northwestern University who also wrote Interpretative Reporting, a standard text in journalism schools for more than 50 years. MacDougall, who wrote critically (even in his journalism textbook) about efforts to expose communist influence in the U.S. Government, was himself a Progressive Party activist and candidate.

Not surprisingly, MacDougall’s influence was felt not only on generations of journalists, but on his own son, A. Kent McDougall, who was acknowledged in the 1972 edition of Interpretative Reporting as then being with the New York office of the Wall Street Journal and lending “valuable assistance” in its preparation. Kent came out openly as a Marxist after working at the Journal, where he said he inserted positive stories about Marxist economists and “the left-wing journalist I.F. Stone.” Stone, it turned out, was a Soviet agent of influence. >>> MORE from Accuracy in Media ...

Great article. And with a little 'investigative research' will lead to a lot of rather important stuff that gets very little attention today. America has been at war with communism for over 90 years. The Cold War with the USSR did not end with the collapse of the Berlin War -- it just took a different form. The public code words for Communism now are 'Progressive', 'Democracy' and Social Justice. The Democrat Party is now a Socialist Party. Through its freely admitted, long term alliance and coordinated initiatives with The Party of European Socialists, the Democratic Party is openly connected to Chinese and Russian Socialists, as well as a full range of international commies and terrorists. There are over 100 US Congress members who are commies. Most belong to and/or are associated with members of Democratic Socialists of America and the Communist Party USA. The FBI states that the Communist Party USA and the United Nations are departments of the Russian KGB. Even our wonderful King Stinky fits former FBI head, J. Edgar Hoover’s definition of a communist. He has associations with members of the Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists of America, was raised by communists, spent his adult life with communists, was mentored by communists, supports communists, belonged to at least one communist organization, attended at least one communist rally, worked for at least two communist bosses, is advised by communists and now, while in office, appoints and meets with communists on a regular basis.

My kid had to write a paper on Social Justice for one class last year.  She showed me the topics suggested, and we talked about several of them.  Most were fair enough and fit quite well into a Christian viewpoint.  She decided to write her paper on abortion in the end, because you have to live for any Social Justice to apply.  Her teacher gave her a 70 for "lack of research."    Public school is still public school...even in the middle of Flyover-Jesusland, many teachers slant very left.  We desperately need to get conservatives into the bastions of higher education.

Absolutely. Indoctrination and behavior modification in public schools are the result of the policies of the DOE and the influence of the NEA. Many in academia approve of these policies and vigorously defend public "education". They maintain that indoctrination is not taking place in public schools. Instead, they claim that today's educators are simply viewing history and other subjects from a new and enlightened perspective.

Is it "indoctrination" or an "enlightened perspective" that is attempting to shape the opinions of today's youth? As an example students in 2008 (2000 juniors and seniors from all 50 states. The study was reported in the February 5th, 2008 edition of USA Today then posted in the March issue of The Journal of American History) were instructed to list the most famous Americans in history — from the time of Columbus up to the current year. The only restriction placed on them was that presidents and first ladies could not be named. From the time of Columbus (1492) to the year 2008 covers a wide range of persons to choose from. During those centuries, there were countless exceptional Americans.

Below is the published summary of the students' lists of the "top 10" most famous Americans in history, ranked in order on their importance, with the percentage of students who chose each person:

   1. Martin Luther King, Jr.: 67%
   2. Rosa Parks: 60%
   3. Harriet Taubman: 44%
   4. Susan B. Anthony: 34%
   5. Benjamin Franklin: 29%
   6. Amelia Earhart: 25%
   7. Oprah Winfrey: 22%
   8. Marilyn Monroe: 19%
   9. Thomas Edison: 18%
  10. Albert Einstein: 16%

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It is another illustration of the ongoing revisionist accounts of history. It is significant to note how pop-culture influenced this list is. Based on the students' choices, it appears that public schools not only indoctrinate students but also dumb-down the learning material presented in classes. This is another illustration that when the central government has a monopoly on public education, fair and balanced presentations of history suffer. What results are listless programmed minds of malleable young students conditioned to accommodate the state's goals.

Yes I can, and a shameless commie dem kick

There you have it ladies and gentlemen what your children and grandchildren are being taught by Publik Edukation.

White guilt and who knows what else.

Wouldn't it be a shock to see your local public school - or the textbook they purchase - include these facts?

Four of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were current or former full-time preachers, and many more were the sons of clergymen. Other professions held by signers include lawyers, merchants, doctors and educators. These individuals, too, were for the most part active churchgoers and many contributed significantly to their churches both with contributions as well as their service as lay leaders. The signers were members of religious denominations at a rate that was significantly higher than average for the American Colonies during the late 1700s.

...

Because 40 individuals had multiple roles (they signed multiple documents and/or also served in the First Federal Congress), there are 204 unique individuals in this group of "Founding Fathers."

...


Thomas Jefferson    Virginia    Episcopalian (Deist)
Benjamin Franklin    Pennsylvania    Episcopalian (Deist)

Cornelius Harnett    North Carolina    Episcopalian (Deist)

I have been told repeatedly that "most" of our Founders were Deists, and very few were actually religious at all.  Yet the facts show that there were only 3 Deists in the whole group of 204...and 4 active pastors.  Revisionist history is absolutely required for today's current "educational" standards.

My son got a failing grade for an eighth grade Social Studies paper he did. I don't even remember the exact subject but it was about slavery in the south. I thought he had done a pretty good job of researching it and documenting his sources. It just so happened that there was a parent/teacher conference a few days later and I asked what was wrong with his paper. What it all came down to was, the teacher was black and the information he had written didn't "jive" with the liberal agenda she wanted them to learn. After stating that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he had done , she reluctantly raised his grade to a 90.

My son is a natural born, Jim DeMint, conservative and I'm proud of that boy. His politics have gotten him into trouble before in school. Had one teacher tell me that she didn't agree with his politics but that she had thoroughly enjoyed having him in her class.

JohnnyReb, it's nice to see a kid who can think for himself.  Just being spoonfed BS is no way to go through life, like all these other Dummies. 

We are all homeschoolers now; evenings, weekends, dinnertime, camping trips, what have you.

Great information on your link.  Deists one and all,  all three that is!!  Is Publik Edukation what it is by design or merely from inbreeding?  (by which I mean the dread 'education major')
