I'm Shocked! No Really....

The Communist Party of the United States of America has endorsed Kerry and promised :

” The CPUSA supports the John Kerry campaign with donations and volunteer effort. We believe that defeating George Bush is the single most important issue this November ..."

 

Here are the CPUSA's list of top ten reasons President Bush must be defeated:

1. Bush is destroying workers rights and outsourcing jobs instead of protecting the right to organize and creating new jobs rebuilding schools, bridges, roads and hospitals
2. Bush is privatizing Medicare, Social Security and public education with phony reforms instead of enacting health care for all, protecting retirement funds and full funding for public education through college.
3. Bush is bankrupting the Federal Government with giant tax cuts for the very rich and super-funds to the military instead of securing the budget for human needs by taxing the rich and spending on human needs.
4. Bush is rolling back civil rights gains instead of enforcing and expanding affirmative action to end racism in all areas of life.
5. Bush is curtailing women’s rights and choice by undermining Roe v. Wade instead of upholding the right to choice and ending the gender wage gap.
6. Bush is abusing immigrant workers in low-wage jobs instead of providing a clear path to citizenship and equal rights.
7. Bush is exploiting and ruining the environment by protecting corporate polluters instead of conserving our natural resources for the public good.
8. Bush’s war in Iraq is a disaster for our security and economy. He is pushing for more preemptive wars and for first strike nuclear military policy instead of negotiations and cooperation utilizing the UN.
9. Bush is denying civil liberties and free speech in the name of fighting terrorism instead of repealing the USA Patriot Act and helping cities, towns and states fund firefighters and police.
10. Bush discriminates against Gays and Lesbians with a Constitutional Amendment instead of expanding civil rights and liberties for all.

 

Fits very nicely with the planks of the Democratic Party right now doesn't it?

 

Hat Tip for the original article to D.P. Heimbold over at the St. Augustine Record.

Aren't Communist Parties illegal in the US? I always thought the whole McCarthy thing got rid of the last of them fifty years ago. What's the world coming to when even the most extreme crazies get a voice?

Something resembling Canada, if I had to venture a guess...

we don't do the "illegal party" thing here:) additionally McCarthy was not nearly as effective as the extreme left likes to paint him.

" naacp is not racist. they try to get people of color better oppurtunities and stand for rights"


The NAACP actually only represents about 6 % of the black community according to a recent poll. Strangely enough, they would have you believe they represent all black individuals even though almost 65% said they didn't feel NAACP was an organization that accurately portrayed their situation at all. The 6% who feel strongly enough about the NAACP mission to support it financially through dues etc. are so obsessed with being "downtrodden and oppressed" that they fail to notice MOST people (black white and otherwise) don't agree.

The NAACP is being hounded by a number of other groups that have split off from it's fold. I think in the future we may see some of these groups rise to share the power that the NAACP once wielded.

i never said that naacp represents all black individuals. I said they try to help out the community and stand up for rights.

For the guy that said Osama endorses Kerry I think he may find the following article interesting:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1068257.htm

Quote:
The statement said it supported US President George W Bush in his re-election campaign and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you [Bush], who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom".

In comments addressed to Mr Bush, the group said "Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilisation".

"Because of this we desire you [Bush] to be elected."
