The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals From Greg Swank 12-4-2
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has bothered me ever since. Recently, Jeff Rense posted it on his site and I would like to thank him for doing so. http://www.rense.com
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 .
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. 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.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. 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."
28. 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."
29. 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.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Note by Webmaster: The Congressional Record back this far has not be digitized and posted on the Internet.
It will probably be available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and ask them. Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at this point.

1963- The Year That Changed America
By Greg Swank 12-4-2 Over the years, I have shared in debates and discussions regarding the current state of affairs in the U.S., and the changing social climate of this great nation. Since the "baby-boomer" generation, society and its culture have become noticeably different than the way it was 50 years ago. From the late 50's to the 70's a series of events took place contributing to the way we are currently living. However, like anything else, there has to be a starting point at which the wheels are put into motion. Sometimes it can be a single event, such as war, but more often, it is a series of events, some intentional, some planned, others unpredictable. There is always a pivotal point when things begin to change. I believe that time was 1963.
For my generation, some of the following will certainly stir old memories. If you born later, this may serve as a brief history lesson into the times your parents traveled through.
By 1963 television was the leading sources of entertainment. The public enjoyed a different type of programming back then. Lessons on life could be viewed weekly on "Leave it to Beaver" or "My Three Sons." There were hero's back then that never drew blood, "The Lone Ranger" and "The Adventures of Superman." Cartoon series evolved, such as, "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons" without messages of empowering the children, using vulgarities or demeaning parental guidance. Family's could spend a weekend evening watching "Ed Sullivan," "Bonanza" or "Gunsmoke." For those who enjoyed thrill and suspense, we were blessed with "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and the "Twilight Zone." 'My Favorite Martian," "Ozzie and Harriet," "Donna Reed" and "Sea Hunt" also kept viewers entertained weekly.
Movie theaters were not multiplex units with 15 screens, rather, one single, giant big screen with adequate sound and hard seats without springs. "Tom Jones" had won the Academy award for best picture. "How The West Was Won," "Cleopatra," "Lily of the Fields," "The Great Escape," "The Birds," and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" were all box office hits.
By years end, "The Beatles" had played for the British Royal Family and were laying the groundwork to conquer the U.S. the following year. Eric Clapton began his journey to fame with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jim McCarty and their band, "The Yardbirds." Out on the west coast the surf was beginning to rock'n'roll with "The Beach Boys" and their first song to reach the top ten list, "Surfin' U.S.A."
"Joys of Jell-O" recipes for quivering florescent foodstuff hit the stores. U.S. Postal rates went up to five cents for the first ounce. AT&T introduced touch-tone telephones. The Yankees played in the World Series again; but lost to the Dodgers in four straight. The government and NASA began the Apollo program.
This is just a brief snapshot of some things that were going on back in 1963. Remember?
While some of these events played an important role in the direction of change that affect us today, many of them were lost to much greater, more political events, that I believe put everything into motion.
On January 10, 1963, the House of Representative and later the Senate began reviewing a document entitled "Communist Goals for Taking Over America." It contained an agenda of 45 separate issues that, in hindsight was quite shocking back then and equally shocking today. Here, in part, are some key points listed in that document.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. 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."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

Now, I am not saying that the U.S. is under some kind of Communist control, but what I do find frightening, is of the 45 issues listed, nearly all of them have come to pass. Remember this was in January 1963.
In 1963 the news media showed women burning their bras as the women's liberation movement took off with the publishing of "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan. Martin Luther King was jailed in April and civil unrest was being brought to the forefront. On August 28th the media brought us live coverage of the march on Washington and Dr. Kings famous "I had a dream" speech. The Cuban missile crisis found its way in to our homes and our nation was gearing up for conflict.
By September of 1963 we had lost some very influential people, Pope John XXIII, Robert Frost, and country legend Patsy Cline, to name a few. In the early hours of November 22nd we learned of the quiet passing of C.S. Lewis and hours later we were brought to our knees when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and our nation mourned.
So you see, while long since forgotten, 1963 could very well have been, one of the most important years since our founding fathers provided us with the Constitution of the United States. Which brings me to one final and extremely important decision that was made during this most provocative year.
On June 17, 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that any Bible reciting or prayer, in public schools, was deemed unconstitutional.
While American's have endured great prosperity over the past 40 years we have also lost our moral compass and direction. In reviewing the research, data supports 1963 as a focal point, demonstrating a downward slope in our moral and social decline through 2001.
Certainly, one would have to agree that all of these events have had a profound impact on the way our current social structure has been changed. Personally, if I had to choose one specific event that has demonstrated the demoralization of our country, it would have to be the decision of the U.S Supreme Court in June of 1963.
But there is always "hope." As always, I welcome your comments and can easily be reached. Thanks for the response to "Daddy, What's Fluoride?" My email is: greg@truthtrek.net

Jeff...adding a couple of my own numbers:
__ 46. Import anti-white racists from the Third World, via an open-borders policy, then force their integration to divide and conquer white Western civilization in North America.
__ 47. Feminize and disarm both the citizenry and military; disarm all white males.

Obama Morally:
Common rejection of absolute values such as truth, honesty, decency, patriotism,
as outlived and impractical, especially among the youth brought up under
the impact of an unprincipled progressive education.
Obama Spiritually:
General abandonment of the Judeo--Christian belief in a life under God and man's responsibilities
as a free moral agent, alternated by seductive demagoguery of materialist humanism and secular collectivism.
Why Are American Conservatives Praising Pretender Putin? Because looks like they have temporary amnesia. They forgot that Putin and his KGB Orthodox Church are fake Christians for very long time and that Putin and his KGB bosses always take side with enemies of America. Russian KGB killed over 30 million Christians and now the same criminals pretending that they are a "Good Christians" by preaching that free people in the in the West are bad Christians. None of these Communist criminals ever went to jail for their crimes in Russia. What a joke. Now KGB dictator Putin brainwashing Russians and the World that Free West is bad and that Russian KGB dictatorship is good. Looks like that corrupted Communist Abortionist Obama made American Conservatives afraid of freedom, so now they look up to another perverted wolf in sheep's clothing - KGB Dictator Putin. Maybe is time that American Conservatives start praising only one true leader: Son of God Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Putin is not "Bored Kid' he is 'Bored Professional Killer' thirsty for more innocent blood so that he can please his KGB Master Satan.
More than meetings and endless discussion, join the Tea Teams (http://teateams.com/) and take action! United we stand!
My brother attended the red carpet premiere of his wife's first big screen acting role at a Baltimore movie theater. Forced to park blocks away in the hood, after the movie my brother asked a friend to drive him back to his car rather than risk walking.
My brother said Baltimore black youths are out-of-control and extremely aggressive. He said if George Zimmerman was on one street corner and black youths were on the other, he would choose to walk past Zimmerman. “I'm not afraid of Zimmerman. I'm afraid of us!”
Our conversation came on the heels of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington where Dr Martin Luther King, Jr delivered his historic remarkably inspiring, “I Have a Dream” speech.
As expected, the Race Industry is exploiting the 50th anniversary the same way they exploit Black History Month every year to further their false narratives that race relations in America have progressed very little since the 1950s, white America is eternally racist and more entitlement programs, government freebies and lowered standards are needed to give blacks a fair shot at the American dream.
I had a dream. MLK and I met for lunch. Though a bit star struck in the presence of an American icon, I brought the eager to know Dr King up to date on black America's progress since his tragic departure.
Black out-of-wedlock births are over 70%, three times the level of your day sir.
The new normal in the black community is “baby daddy” rather than husband and father.
Murder rates for blacks are up to 8,000 to 9,000 per year in America; 93% perpetrated by other blacks. Why are we killing each other? Some say it's the white man's fault.
Yes, Dr King, your memory is correct. Black poverty was on the decline. But in 1965 Democrat president Lyndon Johnson launched his so-called War on Poverty which destroyed the black family by government replacing fathers in black households; resulting in black poverty increasing ever since.
Did I tell you about the epidemic of black youths dropping out of school? Considering that high school is free, I do not know why blacks are not completing high school. Black so-called advocates (the Race Industry) say it's white America's fault. I agree with you sir, their accusation makes no sense to me either.
Dr King your mastery of the English language is somewhat frowned upon today. Some would accuse you of trying to be white. Using gangsta rapper terms such as “creepy ass cracka” and “nigga” is celebrated as down-for-the-struggle authentic blackness in America. No sir, I said, “gangsta” not “gangster”. Its a cultural thing.
Dr King you won't believe it, but America elected its first black president. No, not Jesse. The bad news is under president Obama, black unemployment has risen to unprecedented levels.
Oh, remember that thing you said in your speech about dreaming of a day when people would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? Democrats threw that idea out the window a long time ago.
Democrats and the Race Industry learned that if they can make every political issue about race or skin-color, they win every time because nothing scares whites more than being accused of racism.
Well sir, not much is being done to rectify the issues plaguing black America. Black conservatives such as myself who call for blacks to rely less on government and to accept responsibility for their lives are shouted down and called Uncle Tom sellouts.
Since you've been gone, Democrats have owned the black vote (well over 90%). Democrats continue to lower standards and expectations for blacks, offer more entitlements and promise to keep mythical evil racist white conservative Republicans at bay.
Dr King, is there something in your eye? No need to apologize sir. I share your pain.

A German's View on Islam - worth reading.
This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist. A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.’ ‘My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.' ‘We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.’ ‘The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.’ ‘The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.’
‘The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'? ‘History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.’ ‘Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.’ ‘Now Islamic prayers have been introduced in Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa, too, while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?). The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.’
‘In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation's shores.’ ‘In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of "no-go" zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.’
‘As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.’ ‘Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on. Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this, think about it, and send it on before it's too late.’ And we are silent...

Are black leaders refusing to acknowledge
that the buck stops with them?
Fifty years have passed since Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s noble "I Have a Dream" speech bellowed forth down the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and into the homes of America. It was not just a speech filled with words to trigger emotions but was a set of guidelines that were meant to lift up a nation of all people to find the better angels in each American.
Each word and each sentence and passage was crafted to remind America about the fierce urgency of now and to hew out a pathway for economic justice and civil rights that would build a bridge of unity across the chasm of America’s divergent cultures.
Yet fifty years later it appears that the finger pointing, and the name-calling and the segregation of the mind and of the spirit and even of the black culture in poor urban areas appears to be more separate and isolated now. Are black leaders refusing to acknowledge that the buck stops with them?
Certainly one can point to the many countless examples of African Americans being able to eat, drink, visit and even pay for accommodation in the hotels and motels across the nation as progress. But is that all that Martin Luther King wanted for all Americans?
Unfortunately, it appears that instead of lifting African Americans from poverty, and providing educational freedom and liberty from the conditions that shackled them as former slaves, in many ways the conditions have worsened. Are race-based excuse baiters covering up the real problems?
In 1963, there were more families who were headed by a father and a mother in the black community. According to the 1965 Moynihan Report in 1960 approximately eight percent of black babies were born out of wedlock. Now the percentage is 72.3 percent as of 2008.
Black children are dying in escalating numbers at the hands of young black murdering thugs. There are not being beaten by racists thugs, or by police using hoses or being lynched by the KKK. Instead, black children are being murdered by their own. Where are the marches and the outcry for the hundreds of black children that were murdered?
In the hometown of President Obama, 108 of the 500 plus murder victims were children who were murdered by blacks in Chicago in 2012.
Was that the fault of white people who were engaging in nefarious racist actions? Of course the answer is no. The real question is, have civil rights leaders been making money off of these problems by refusing to confront them? Are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton afraid to march for the black community’s freedom from this murderous violence?
Why are the fear mongering and race baiters silent about telling the real truth concerning how King’s Dream has gone sideways in the black community, and they are tolerating it.
Dear Congressman Issa:
Have you ever known a firefighter to get paid for putting out a fire that never existed? Taxpayers need to prepare themselves for another sucker punch to their stomach courtesy of corrupt Internal Revenue Service employees. Last April I caught the IRS with their pants on the ground. I set my trap in September of 2012 to confirm whether IRS employees were engaging in fraud. It took eight months but I was able to prove that IRS was taking credit for conducting phantom investigations and for issuing fictitious results on work that was never performed.
This should outrage every American who is forced to work for Uncle Sam between January until May to pay their income taxes. Granted, the IRS employee also goes off to work but instead of putting in an honest day’s work they spend their day fabricating jobs to justify their government paycheck. The web becomes further tangled when IRS employees prepare reports on the results of investigations that never took place. The government defines embezzlement as the “unlawful conversion or misappropriation of any voucher, money, or item of value of the United States”
Currently the IRS is using fraud technology that is 20 years old. Do you still use the cell phone you purchased in 1993? Do you still use the cell phone you purchased three years ago?
Statistics released by the IRS show that electronic audits are 10 times more efficient than IRS field agents. I offered to test 30 million tax returns in 30 minutes and the IRS informed me that my idea of testing tax returns in real-time lacked innovation. The IRS would rather plod along hiring more government workers which places a tremendous burden of having to create more phantom jobs.
Americans are tired of being bullied by an unscrupulous agency that has morphed into a giant fraud. If Congress were to embrace technology from the 21st century they could reduce the IRS workforce -50% and put the remaining 50% on notice that continued advancements in technology may eliminate their positions.

Hi all I want to share with you a way in which we can save are great nation please go to: http://nationallibertyalliance.org/
And watch the power of the common law grand jury it is half way down the page.
There is a supreme court case united states v Williams that backs this video up this is the tool that we all are looking for. God bless any questions please contact me.
Wasn't it democrats in charge in 1964 that everyone is talking about this week and last?
I woke up and Dr. Carson was President. Obama was in Chicago.
Yes, I would rather have a brain surgeon than a lawyer as President.
CORE is an approach used by foreign governments, dictated by the Federal government and supported by Gates and the companies that provide the tests. TCAP tests cost $8.00 per student and the CORE tests may run $29.00. Aside from the money and that NY and MA have had lower test scores after CORE, it is not right for the Feds to further control our local school curriculum. Specifically, having math that will consider partial correct a answer to 4x3 = 11, if you explain your logic with pictures, boxes and statements. The actual math portion is wrong and would be corrected. Also, you can have the correct math answer . but fail to explain and demonstrate your logic via picture boxes and get marked wrong! Then there is the language section which drops some traditional stuff and adds cultural and other enrichment, which includes various life style options. These get more perverse as the KIDS get in the 11th and 12th grades.
The fact that 45 states have adopted this Federal approved and pushed program is enough reason to question it, but there are other serious reasons too.
Now, that Obama has gotten the States to fall in line he is seeking to set up a National School Board to ensure future compliance! Obama's Secretary of Education was the Superintendent of Chicago schools, which are some of the worse schools in the nation. Arnie Duncan is from Chicago and I guess that trumps all issues when filling any federal appointed position.
Obama Care and the IRS enforcement is being force feed onto America too. As Obama continues to reduce individual choice, States rights `and local control of our schools, I wonder what is the end objective? I know in history it has been said those that control the youth control the future and to control the school textbooks gives you control of the youths. I am sure that this is the final goal of Obama.
The roots of this approach rest in previous administrations, but its embrace is tremendous and force feed under Obama.
We need local control and simple block grants from the federal government and no Federal Department of Education. We did not have it for most of our history and did better before it was formed.
While Kerry and Obama say that using chemical weapons is unacceptable they must have forgotten their thoughts on Bush and Iraq. Saddam Hussein gassed an entire village of Kurds which killed about 5,000 people and everything else alive in that village. Then he continued his aggression against other states and implied he had other weapons of mass destruction, although, as Mr. Kerry said this week chemical weapons are considered in that category. Biden called for Bush's impeachment, Kerry and Obama criticized Bush's war in Iraq for several reasons and yet Obama is expected to attack Syria for one of the same reasons, WMD use. Iraq invaded other nations, attempted to kill President Bush SR., interrupted oil production and supply routes, caused terrible environmental oil spills. Bush had a UN coalition of 30 plus nations and a UN mandate.
Regardless, if you supported the Iraq action or not, my point is that Obama and his team are hypocrites. I think using WMD now for action in Syria and criticizing Bush in the past is being hypocritical. It is terrible using chemical weapons, but anything that kills innocent civilians is also terrible. Will we police the entire world? I do think the UN and/or NATO should do something to punish the use of Chemical weapons and we are a part of those groups. Maybe Biden, Kerry and Obama should have thought glass houses before they all stoned Bush? But then, if they did I guess they would not be politicians.
I wonder, if Hillary would just say, " What difference does it make".
Yep, I confess. I am the problem with America today. You see, for the last and first 65 years of my life, I never voted. Not once. Never really felt the need since I was convinced that Washington had my and America's best interest at heart......NOT! OH LAWD....the error of my ways. A recent trip the the barber shop has instilled in me that.......I am not the only one! Will I change my ways? Not sure.........seems as though all politicians have only one interest........their own self-righteousness! I think I have just talked my self out of voting..........
The only thing I want to drop in the ballot box is a couple rounds of 5.56.
Now, someone out there convince me that my vote counts.............
or......give me a true red-blooded American to vote for............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best news presentation I've ever seen. Worried about a rodeo clown's mask??? Kerry is what he is & always has been - clip by clip! I think he may have set the good ship "Lollypop" afire. Watch out for scurrying rats.
Sitting and listening to liar after liar telling us we must go to war and stop the bloodshed BY destroying Syria so the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama's angels can take it over!!! Remember Benghazi??? IRS??? Voter registration obstruction inc., Fast & furious, $17 trillion down the crapper, hoards of aliens subsidized by taxpayer funds, Solyndra, The pipe-line, data mining Inc.
There were school buses parked for as far as my childhood eyes could see. Dad and I were amongst a sea of mostly black faces. The stage seemed a mile away from us. Black movie star Lena Horn took to the microphone. Her speech of heartily yelling one word drove the crowd wild with delight and applause. “FRREEEDDDOOOOMMMM!!!”
While Dr Martin Luther King, Jr's speech made history, I was extremely impressed that Ms. Horn could simply utter one word and exit the stage leaving the crowd electrified.
We wore commemorative buttons that day. Dad said I told him, “I'm not taking off this button until we get our freedom.”
Another thing that resonated in my young impressionable brain was MLK saying something about dreaming of a day when little black boys and girls and little white boys and girls would walk together in love. No, those were not MLK's exact words, but that’s the message I took home. It felt good, honorable and right.
Black civil rights movement pioneers such as Jesse Jackson were entrusted with building upon MLK's well-intentioned legacy. Tragically, Jackson along with a majority have been seduced to the dark side (Liberalism).
MLK did not sacrifice his life for black empowerment to be reduced to a pawn in a political chess game; used as a weapon to bludgeon white conservatives into submitting to an anti-Christian and anti-America agenda. And yet, that is exactly what has been happening particularly since Obama took up residence in the White House.
Betrayed by it's generals, MLK's once great Civil Rights movement has abandoned it's mission of black empowerment. It has morphed into the Race Industry. Its sole purpose is to exploit race for political and financial gain. The Race Industry and white liberals are a tag-team committed to declaring any and all opposition to anything Obama wants to do as racism against America's first black president.
So for the first time in US history, Americans are not permitted to criticize, impugn or disagree with their president. Challengers to this rule are dealt with swiftly and severely; humiliated and destroyed in the mainstream media.
Professional race exploiters such as Sharpton, Jackson, NAACP and CBC are unchallenged by the mainstream media no matter how outrageous and over-the-top their accusations. For example: Jesse Jackson called Florida an apartheid state because of the not guilty verdict in the Zimmerman trial. How absurd. And yet, not one person in the mainstream media has said, Jesse, you're nuts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb6huGU8QpM
Is Jesse Jackson and the Race Industry representative of MLK's dream; black and white kids walking together in brotherly love? Absolutely not. Jesse and his ilk only seek power and thirty pieces of silver in exchange for black votes to liberal politicians, while ignoring the best interest of black America.
MLK was a Christian and a Republican, both are anathemas to the contemporary Civil Rights movement (race industry) which has sold its soul to the dark side; embracing no restrictions on abortion, same-sex marriage, government redistribution of wealth and government controlling every aspect of our lives. This is not rhetoric. It is documented truth. http://bit.ly/AwzwIo
Riding on the coattails of Obama's black skin, liberal black politicians are using America's new hyper sensitivity to all things racial to get their way. Want to silence political opposition? Call it racist. White conservatives typically run for the tall grass, cowering in fear.
This is why I find Steve Lonegan's response to attempts to play the Race Card against him extraordinary and refreshing. Lonegan's opponent is a black liberal Obama sycophant. Keep in mind that Lonegan is legally blind. Thus, his response was brilliant and gutsy. “I have a handicap, you know. I am a white guy running in the state of New Jersey.”
Wow! Folks, I wanted to give Lonegan a man hug. Finally, a white conservative who refuses to be pushed back on his heels, falling for the same old Democrat tactic. Lonegan spoke the truth which our side is not permitted to do in our politically correct America. Liberals are furious at Lonegan. This uppity white boy had better remember his place.
Staying on offense like Lonegan is the only way we are going to save our country folks. Liberals are never going to back off from accusing conservatives of racism because it works; their most effective weapon.
Thus, the only thing we conservatives can do is change our reaction to their vacant evil lies. We need more courageous conservatives like Steve Lonegan who will not be intimidated or side tracked; willing to stand up and fight for principles and values that most Americans hold dear.
We also need you to rally around guys like Lonegan; patriots willing to say, “Hang in there brother, we got your back!” http://bit.ly/16mXgOo

Administration now says 'very little doubt' Assad used chemical weapons on Syrian civilians
Published August 25, 2013
FoxNews.com
A top Obama administration official says there is "very little doubt" the Syrian government last week used a chemical weapon on civilians, killing at least 100 people.
The official said Sunday that U.S. intelligence officials made the assessment based on "the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured and witness accounts."
The official said the White House also thinks Syrian President Bashar Assad and his forces are denying United Nations investigators immediate access to the site of the reported chemical weapons attack Wednesday in the Damascus suburbs to give the evidence time to degrade.
The Syrian government reportedly said Sunday it will allow U.N. inspectors to visit the site. However, U.S. officials think any evidence of an attack has already been too degraded.
The administration statement follows a meeting Saturday between President Obama and his National Security Council that concluded with the White House saying the administration was still “gathering facts.”
The official spoke Sunday on the condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
The reports of thousands killed or stricken by chemical weapons last week is the latest allegation about such tactics in the Middle East country’s roughly 2-year-long civil war.
Obama said last year that the use of chemical weapons by Assad would “cross a red line.” But the White House has been reluctant to take direct military actions, instead supplying rebel forces with non-lethal aid, weighing military options and trying to garner international support.
In addition to the president holding the meeting Saturday, he spoke with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The leaders talked about shared security challenges, including the continued violence in Syria, and expressed their “grave concern” about the reported use of chemical weapons. And they will continue to consult closely about “possible responses by the international community,” the White House also said.
The White House meeting was attended by at least 15 members of the president’s security council, including Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, but it was unclear who was in the Oval Office.
Hagel suggested Friday that the Pentagon might move Naval forces closer to Syria in preparation for a possible decision by Obama to order military strikes.
However, U.S. defense officials told The Associated Press that the Navy has already sent a fourth warship armed with ballistic missiles into the eastern Mediterranean Sea, but without immediate orders for any missile launch into Syria.
Syrian state media accused rebels of using chemical arms against government troops in clashes Saturday near Damascus, while Doctors Without Borders said it has tallied 355 deaths from the purported chemical weapons attack on Wednesday.
The international aid group said three hospitals it supports in the eastern Damascus region reported receiving roughly 3,600 patients with "neurotoxic symptoms" over less than three hours on Wednesday morning when the attack in the eastern Ghouta area took place. Of those, 355 died.
U.S. confirmation took more than four months after rebels similarly reported chemical attacks in February, though in this instance a U.N. chemical weapons team is already on the ground in Syria. Assad's government, then as now, has denied the claims as baseless.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Muslims help Muslims. Our president is Muslim so, nothing will be done.

Why I WON'T Be participating In The National Day Of Prayer/Repentance
Why I WON'T Be participating In The National Day Of Prayer/Repentance
Indeed, I will not be participating in America's National Day of Prayer and Repentance. Not the way 99 percent of so called U.S. “Christians” will be doing it anyway. Most Americans will say a quick prayer, tell God how sorry they are for engaging in some simplistic sinful act and just go on with life. Nothing changed, nothing done, America goes on to the next day, September 12, 2013 looking and acting entirely the same. What's the point I ask all “Christian” Americans of a “National Day of Prayer and Repentance” if engaging in a job half done ? Seriously, what's the point ? Does not James 2:17-20 tell us in part; “faith without works is dead” ? This nation is filled with people running around praying but not participating in the “doing “ part of that Bible Scripture I quoted. Let's get real here shall we ? Prayer is easy because it cost's you little to nothing. Perhaps a few minutes of time is used in the process of praying but there is no real physical “works” required. Not only that, prayer does not require any real sacrifice... no money given, no sweat broken, no bravery needed in the effort. It's not like we live in some Communist or Muslim nation where prayer to the Biblical God is forbidden that we would really need to hide our efforts-nope.
Action or as the Bible calls it “works” is a necessary part of a real Christian's walk with God. We can't get away from it but so many American's make every effort to avoid it. Why is that ? Is that most Americans are lazy ? Maybe, perhaps it's more likely that many Americans have fallen into the devil's trappings of false gospels, especially the false gospel of “feel-good theologies.” You know... “God loves you, all is good, don't worry about sin, God forgives.” That plus the false theologies of “prosperity gospel, social gospel and so on. I see millions flocking to so called churches and TV Programs featuring Rick Warren, TD Jakes, Joel Osteen and so on. Couple that fact with the one-thousand-plus pastors who quit the pulpit each year, no wonder God doesn't do anything on our behalf. When folks go chasing after false christs and engage in self serving religious activities, don't bother to pray, God's not going to do anything because those prayers of the false christians aren't going up to God's ears. No point in having a “National Day of Prayer and Repentance” if those prayers are essentially not being heard and are equally empty of any real substance.
For those that have said they have a “real” relationship with Jesus Christ of the Bible here in the USA, it appears they have gone “MIA.” I say that as a real Christian, because a real Christian is engaged in not only spiritual battles but physical battles as well. To say that physical battles between good vs evil never occurs is nothing short of foolishness. If you need a prime example, just look at all the evils Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Obama had(have)engaged in. What would our world look like if Christians did not rise up against these evil people ? As I indicated earlier and acknowledged earlier, prayer is only half the job done. Sadly, the fact remains that most Christians have become cowards when it comes to their faith. Also as I shared earlier, for Americans, we have a fairly easy life when it comes to calling ourselves “Christians”publicly. Having such open freedom to share who and what we are with others, you would think that the vast majority of Christian Americans would be busy, busy, busy fulfilling the Great Commission with their family, friends and over-seas, and helping fight for Godly justice... not so however. Not only do we see real evangelism not occurring in our nation, we see a dramatic increase in evil acts without Biblically responding from Christians as well. Here, take this test, let's see if you are of those who are Biblically minded when it comes to “Works” against evil...are you ready ? Put on your “Jesus hat”.....
- If you were out on a walk by yourself and you came across a person being raped by 2 others, would you.....a) Pray only.b) Pray then call 911.c) Call 911 only.e) Jump in and physically help rescue the person being raped, praying then call 911.f) Do nothing because your to busy or don't want to get involvedg) Call your pastor and ask him what to do?
Sorry, no add-ons, no excuses, no “fine tuning” your answers. The correct Biblical response is “e.” If you are doing anything else than “e”, your not doing your job as a Biblical Christian. I wouldn't be a bit surprise though to see people comment somewhere on or around this article making excuses, justifying, blaming others(including me) for not having to do their Biblical duty to “rescue the perishing.” That however is the real response from most American christians(small letter "c" placed throughout the article purposely)....always ready to do nothing, blame others, justify and make excuses to not fulfill the Biblical mandate to do “works.” No wonder our nation is in such moral peril and God is not helping us. He's waiting for us to do our Biblical job of taking action especially against evil, and there's hardly a soul active in doing so.
Billy Graham recently shared a public comment where he declared America needs “revival.” The problem with that comment is that history shows us that “revival” requires wholesale repentance by the people asking for revival.” A German "Evangelist" named Reinhard Bonke also recently said that God told him that “America will be saved.”... Yikes !http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/famed-evangelist-god-told-me-america-will-be-saved/. Well, maybe...perhaps like you however, I have had it though with so called pastors, evangelists and “prophets” who say “God told me” this and “God told me” that. To many false prophets in the world today. Personally, I hope what Bonke said is true, but without real Christians participating in removing evil, first within themselves and then to unrepentant others, especially those “in authority”, nothing is going to change in America. If anything, all that will occur will be our continuance in sliding off into the pit of Hell. Indeed, those who propagate homosexuality, drug use, religion over the Biblical Christ, “transgender bathrooms”, divorce, abortion, lying, cops threatening to or actually murdering citizens, enabling Filipina Migration Marriage Scammers, character assassination and other wickedness, all that will happen is seeing continuation in increases of natural disasters like tornado's, sink holes, wild fires and as well, man made disasters like teenagers shooting others “out of boredom”, mental illness, spiritual illness and “the thrill of it.”
If you are a Bible believing Christian, it is YOUR responsibility to remove unrepentant evil as part of the “works” mentioned in James 2:17-20. I had written about the entire process of “removing evil” in the past and can be read athtttp://blackroberegimentpastor.blogspot.com/2010/12/removing-evil-through-p-process.html. The bottom line here for every American is that you cannot participate in a “National Day of Prayer and Repentance” without also making it a “National Day of Action.” To take part in an event that does not include the Biblical and necessary part of taking action to remove unrepentant evil, especially with those “in authority”, will only end in a useless effort as if nothing was done at all.
God is watching, God is listening. He is also waiting for His people to rise up and take action against evil and evil, unrepentant people.
Proverbs 24:11-12 “if you hold back from rescuing those taken away to death, those who go staggering to the slaughter; if you say, “Look, we did not know this”—does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it? And will he not repay all according to their deeds? “
