Democrat and Communist ideologies in America are the same?

By Daniel Diaz, Executive Director – Young Americans for Freedom

I’ve always had this itching suspicion that there are no real differences between the Communist Party USA (CPA) and the Democratic Party (DEM) ideologies and platforms.

As a first generation Cuban-American, I always knew that the Democrats represented the U.S. version of everything my family despised when they fled from communist controlled Cuba.

The more I researched communism and became involved the Conservative Movement, the more I realized that there really aren’t any differences in the Democratic Party’s beliefs and the beliefs of communism and the Communist Party USA.

Recently, I decided to do some more research online, and what I found amazed me. I found several websites that listed some interesting similarities between the CPA and DEM platforms. They’re almost identical, and you know how the saying goes: “If it’s too good to be true, then it might just be.”

To be sure the information was accurate, I decided to verify the similarities of the platforms myself. And, to my amazement the information was accurate! Below is what I found:

The following quotes are from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) 2008 Platform and the National Committee of the Communist Party USA (CPA) report (adopted on June 26^th 2011):

CPA: Immediate Relief. A moratorium on foreclosures and evictions. Reset mortgages so payments are affordable.
DNC: We will ensure that the foreclosure prevention program enacted by Congress is implemented quickly and effectively so that at-risk homeowners can get help and hopefully stay in their homes. We will work to reform bankruptcy laws to restore balance between lender and homeowner

CPA: Assist deficit-ridden state and local governments so they can preserve services and jobs.
DNC: This will include assistance to states and localities to prevent them from having to cut their vital services like education, health care, and infrastructure.

CPA: Fund “ready-to-go” infrastructure projects.
DNC: We will start a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank that can leverage private investment in infrastructure improvements, and create nearly two million new good jobs.

CPA: Enact the Employee Free Choice Act to enable workers to form unions without intimidation.
DNC: We will strengthen the ability of workers to organize unions and fight to pass the Employee Free Choice Act.

CPA: Fully fund public education from pre-school through higher education and technical training.
DNC: We will provide all our children a world-class education, from early childhood through college. We will develop innovative transitional job programs that place unemployed people into temporary jobs and train them for permanent ones.

CPA: No privatization of Social Security or Medicare. Protect Medicaid. Expand and improve benefits.
DNC: We will fulfill our obligation to strengthen Social Security and to make sure that it provides guaranteed benefits Americans can count on, now and in future generations. We will not privatize it.

CPA: Restore civil rights… affirmative action in employment, education, and housing.
DNC: We will restore vigorous federal enforcement of civil rights laws in order to provide every American an equal chance at employment, housing, health, contracts, and pay.

CPA: Preserve Roe v. Wade.
DNC: The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.

CPA: Expand voting rights. Enact publicly financed elections, same-day registration and voting rights for ex-felons.

DNC: We oppose laws that require identification in order to vote or register to vote, which create discriminatory barriers to the right to vote and disenfranchise many eligible voters; and we oppose tactics which purge eligible voters from voter rolls. We are committed to passing the Count Every Vote Act.

CPA: Restore Fairness Doctrine in media.
DNC: We will encourage diversity in the ownership of broadcast media, promote the development of new media outlets for expression of diverse viewpoints, and clarify the public interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nation’s spectrum.

CPA: Complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, with no bases or U.S. corporations left behind.
DNC: To renew American leadership in the world, we must first bring the Iraq war to a responsible end.

CPA: Ratify climate change agreements. Immediate program to cut greenhouse gas emissions and for environmental cleanup.
DNC: We need a global response to climate change that includes binding and enforceable commitments to reducing emissions, especially for those that pollute the most: the United States, China, India, the European Union, and Russia.

CPA: Enforce nuclear non-proliferation, work to abolish nuclear weapons.
DNC: America will be safer in a world that is reducing reliance on nuclear weapons and ultimately eliminates all of them. We will make the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons worldwide a central element of U.S. nuclear weapons policy.

Feel free to visit these websites yourself. Many more documents on the Communist Party USA website discuss similar goals and ideals of the Democratic Party. Maybe it’s time for the CPA and DNC to unite.

Giuliani needs to join the Libertarian Party!

I read a FoxNews story entitled Giuliani to GOP: ‘Get the Heck Out of People’s Bedrooms’. This obviously grabbed my attention because I am a fiscal and social conservative who believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. I believe this because marriage was not created by government, it was created by God and God told us to become one with our wife, to be fruitful and multiply. I think it only makes sense to side with the creator of the universe on this one, right? 

Well as I read the article, a few of Giuliani’s quotes stood out to me, such as:

I think that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but I think that the Republican Party would be well-advised to get the heck out of people’s bedrooms and let these things get decided by states,

I find it interesting that though Giuliani claims to be for traditional marriage, he doesn’t want the Republican Party to take a stance? Hmm, how interesting that Rudy thinks the Republican Party should stay out of the marriage issue, but encourages the state governments to be invovled. Shouldn’t it be the other way around, keep government out and have the parties fight for their platforms, which for Republicans their platform has been for traditional marriage!

So Mr. Giuliani, should we be the only party who doesn’t take a side when it comes to marriage, because I am pretty sure the Democrats and Libertarians have taken a stance. Coincidentally the Libertarian Party stands with you on the issue of marriage, so maybe you should change you party affiliation from Republican to Libertarian!

Just A Thought!

Just how Socialist can the Modern Democrat Party get?

By: Ira Geiger (Ira is Senior Network Administrator of the Young Republican Network)

The former Chairman of the Democrat National Committee Tim Kaine has stepped down to run for the US Senate in Virginia. This is not really a good thing for the Country, because his successor Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is the perfect example of what is wrong with the Democrat Party; a party that has moved dramatically to the left.

Back in January, I wrote an article, “Using Tragedy for Political Gain” in which I refer to Wasserman-Schultz as “a passive aggressive individual who is power hungry.”  Nothing has changed.  She is an angry, vindictive individual who is yes, a polished speaker, but no, not an honest one.  She verbally attacks the Republican Party and the Tea Party at every opportunity she gets.  She often speaks of civility; yet clearly is a two-faced, double speaking, and dangerous woman.  Watch her on one of the Sunday morning talk shows – just once – see for yourself.

As Chairwoman of the DNC, she will promote her socialist views which violate our liberties and Constitution.  To our detriment, she is an excellent campaigner and great with raising tons of cash. She raised $2 million for her reelection campaign to Congress in her liberal Florida district and won with 60% of the vote. She brought in more than $5 million for the Democrat Campaign Congressional Committee. She is very good at using money to literally destroy and commit character assassinations against her opponents or any other opponents of her colleagues, making her the dangerous politician I allude to.

As the new chairman of the DNC, she will advocate for abortion rights. She is a strong supporter of abortion rights and has and will continue to advocate for Planned Parenthood:

“Planned Parenthood doctors and nurses screen more than 830,000 women for women for breast cancer, and nearly 1 million for cervical cancer, every year, and for many of these women, Planned Parenthood is their only source of healthcare – whether it’s because they can’t afford health insurance, or because they live in a community … where Planned Parenthood is the only local provider of women’s health services.” (LifeNews.com)

Moreover, in 2005, she advocated on behalf of Michael Schiavo the estranged ex-husband of the late Terri Schiavo to have Terri Schaivo’s feeding tube removed because she was in a facility in a so-called vegetative state.  Ms. Wasserman-Schultz was furious at former President George W. Bush for signing a bill to allow Mrs. Schaivo’s parents and family to take the matter to federal courts and get the proper treatment (like food and water) for Mrs. Schiavo. This case ended up in Congress and ultimately the courts ruled to have the feeding tube removed and Terri Schiavo died.

It was at this time in 2005 when I first heard of Wasserman-Schultz and called her congressional office to let her staff know of my outrage. I said she should be ashamed of herself not only as a human being for advocating for something immoral, but also because Wasserman-Schultz is a Jew and it is against the Jewish religion to have any lifesaving device removed from a person. The way I see it:  she clearly advocates for innocent people to be murdered.

Another issue I find very disturbing is her support for J-Street and other anti-Israel groups, on top of the fact she has helped multimillionaire and liberal activist, socialist, George Soros.  She has hosted fundraisers and other events for groups that advocate terror and the destruction of the state of Israel and ultimately our country. It clearly is amazing how someone who is a Jewish person could be such a socialist and act in the manner she does.

Frankly, I really don’t understand how she manages to get reelected to Congress from her South Florida district which has a heavily Jewish population. I can only hope that her strong ties to the Democrat Party and her aggressiveness will ultimately backfire and more pro-life true conservative, tea party individuals will be elected to office.

Defeating Wasserman-Schultz

Wasserman-Schultz intends to keep her congressional seat.  I intend on doing my best to stop her.  During the 2010 election cycle, I met with her GOP opponent Karen Harrington, who is again challenging her in 2012. I have had the opportunity to meet Karen on a couple of occasions and I admire the courage she has to take on Wasserman-Schultz.

Karen Harrington is a small business owner who manages her family business “Rickey’s Restaurant and Lounge,” in operation since 1974. There are three locations in Broward County Florida. She uses her fiscal conservative values to stay successful, and will surely be able to apply those principles, if she has the opportunity to go to Congress.
