On my last post I made some accusations that may or may not fall short of the mark. Since a visitor to the blog informed me I was wrong let's see what we can uncover. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Socialists_of_America would seem to support my antagonist, but it also seems quite likely that was written by a lefty as the connection between the two is downplayed however the two sites tend to mirror each other http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/. Also if we use the internet wayback machine we find that members of the PC were at one time posted on the DSAUSA website. Do I have absolute proof the people I posted are dues paying members of DSAUSA? No, I do not, but they sure do support the same ideals so in that vein they need to be removed from office. The affiliation matters very little. So, to Anon, I will concede I have no proof they are members but I would appreciate proof to support your claim as well. Perhaps you have a membership role or something that proves me wrong, otherwise your claim is no better than mine given the parallels between the two organizations.

I have been told that it is my desire to use my morals to legislate or dictate to others what they should or should not see, hear, do or be part of. Not true. I have stated repeatedly that the States should decide not the federal government. If state X redefines marriage then so be it. If state Y wants to legalize abortion, so be it. Does not mean I will agree with it, just means I will respect it because therein lies the power. For those of you that think the feds should have this power then it is time to use the system as it was intended. Put forth amendments to the constitution and change our system. That is the only way. Legislation cannot take power from the constitution without amendment. This is one place I differ even from conservative supreme court justices. I do not personally believe in a lifetime appointment of any kind. Too much power is derived from that.

Socialism is a dirty word. Socialism means government controls the people. That is not freedom. Please, someone, point out a Socialist regime, government or governing body that does not make decisions for the people without their consent. Only asking you name one, just one!!! It does not exist BTW. Our political system is bad enough. Dems and Reps are both autrocious and need to be voted out of office. All the Repubs now acting like constitutionalists weren't acting like that when they were in power or when Bush was spending recklessly, so they get no breaks from me. I want them all out and we the people should demand term limits now. How is it that those in favor of a social system do not see forcing people to buy health insurance and then eventually forcing them to adher to certain government standards or be fined sits well with you? Why do you think it is government's right to take money from one and give it to another and do it in the name of justice? Like it or not, I paid into Social Security and Medicare all my working life, so I plan to take back from that system since they took from me. I am terminally ill and will probably not recoup anything near what I paid in. And on top of that I will probably see changes (decreases) in my current benefits . Now before you jump on the "Well, your wife will get it for a long time" bandwagon, she too is terminally ill. Just a run of bad luck, I am not seeking sympathy. I have been suspecting that this new legislation will make it less cost effective to keep us alive. Her medications are through the roof as one of her chemo drugs is $6,000.00 a month. I am perfectly happy with my insurances. I do not want it to change but unfortunately it is going to and that will most likely not bode well for the wife and I.

Recently there has been some rumblings concerning Fox News and whether or not they are objective or biased. Seems the current administration's position is that they unlike all other news agencies are biased and simply a shill for the republications/conservatives, therefore should be ignored by we the people as well as other news agencies. Journalists have long taken the position they are neutral, or so they think. By not taking a side though you display a bias, intended or not, but no less biased. For example, we are a country governed by a constitution, and regardless of your interpretation of that document it is the law of the land. Over the course of many years we have been the leader of the free world and have fought wars over Communism, Socialism, Marxism and Fascism. In each case we stood against these ill-be-gotten systems because they are oppressive and not in keeping with our ideals. If an organization sprung up that was intended to circumvent/overthrow those ideals and that document would that be a story? Would that not be a huge story? We have such an organization trying to undermine our current system in place and thriving as we speak. Perhaps you have heard the MSM mention the "Progressive Party". Ever heard them equate these "progressives" to the Democratic Socialists of America? Doubt it. We currently have 70 members of our legislative body that are members of the DSA. They have their own version of the constitution which I can only assume they hold more allegiance to than the real constitution of this country since they want to implement their version over the current one. This should be a huge story, a government takeover from within, a coup in fact is what it is. We need to be told of these things. So when the current administration starts to appoint anti-capitalists, self-avowed Communists and Marxists and Socialists journalists who are "HONEST" will tell us. But they do not, because so many of them are on the same page with the DSA! And if they are not then they seem to be complacent to let the government be taken over. The MSM will never understand they are the reason no one trusts them anymore. We have ways to find out what they have been sweeping under the table for years. And it goes both ways. Do not provide cover for anyone that is breaking the law or trying to subvert our government.

This is a listing updated April 2009 for the 111th Congress. These people are all members of the DSA and should be immediately removed from office at the earliest election possible. On top of that there are 23 Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, 11 of them are members of DSA.
