After some traveling around the United States for some time Rev, Jim Jones finally landed in San Francisco, where his (church) was to thrive amoung the LiberaL Progressives. Jones's church Known as the Peoples Temple......Jones convinced so many that he was the one to lead them to a better life and all they had to do was to follow him in every way... In the final act of insanity he lead almost one thousand people to an island called GUYANNA and set up "JONESTOWN"
.He was a real community organizer, and people were mesmerized by him.....Jones was a very accomplished speaker and was soon able to attract some influential people..at least at first......
..I hope that any one who has not read the story of this man ,would take the time to learn about him.......It boils done to a man with good speaking skills and the ability to convince people that he would think for them, and take care of them , Jones had an ego that was enormous and of course that, along with drugs in the end was his down fall.....Rev. Jim Jones is a perfect example of what happens when you turn your life,money, mind and soul over to one human being......It never turns out good.. Congressman Ryan and four reporters were killed that last day trying to rescue
them.

SK-LIBERTY OVER EQUALITY 2012/05/31 14:31:27There is no doubt Jim Jones was a Progressive Liberal
+13I told someone on youtube yesterday that it is the most insane thing man can do to totally rely on man (govt) to meet all their needs. He was totally clueless as to what i meant.
having seen the movies and documentaries and read the books, theres no way . Community orrganizer??? LOL for a religion based group. thats like saying southern baptist s are in danger of becoming jim jones the 2nd or are you just trying to liken him to obama
Stupidity is dribbling from your post
Jones cast himself as a politically progressive and was embraced by liberal politicians such as U.S. Representatives Phillip and John Burton, Assemblyman Willie Brown and Mayor George Moscone.

The church is identified with the Protestant “mainstream” and is widely involved in social and other concerns. Disciples have supported vigorously world and national programs of education, agricultural assistance, racial reconciliation, care of the developmentally disabled and aid to victims of war and calamity.

You see, EVEN Soda Head values comments that are constructive to DEBATE and not to some immature language of minors.... or those "less educated!" :) OS
I see MANY democrats that support Socialism and Communism.... but I truly don't see any Republicans doing so!
Pretty much the same way obama came into GM and started dictating them to build electric cars.... just a $5 BILLION loss! :(
"NO... socialism is where the govt comes in and takes over the farms and tells the farmer what to plant, even IF there is not a market for it!".
Quote me in reply;
"Right,its when our government supports and helps our farmers compete and doesnt leave them to be ruined like Conservatism does with it's "it aint my problem,sort yourself out-we aint your baby sitter",agenda..".
Quote YOU in reply:
"..I have NO CLUE as to what you are talking about? Why do I think you don't as well?.".
Democratic Socialism does not lead to Communism of course-just as Democratic Conservatism does not lead to Fascism.But if you insist to imply that Socialism is a step towards Communism,then use the same rule for the steps of Conservatism.One thing is for sure,you are indeed often anti social.
Jones was a NUT case and personally I do not credit the such with being rational and sane,unlike you when it suits you that is,like with Obama I expect?.LOL.
Im not talking about someone who signs a voter’s registration or falsely stands in front of a group of people saying "God Bless America," as being a Democrat or Republican! I'm talking as groups or individuals as an absolute confident ability to declare which party they are going to support!
For example.... Would you like to tell me that Tea Party Members who yell at Democrats walking from the House Offices to vote for obamacare and heckled by Tea Party people are DEMOCRACTS, or Liberals… themselves?
You wish to tell me that Occupy Wall Street member wearing SEIU patches on the shirts and a Hammer & Cycle logo on their shirts are going to vote Republican, or conservative?
Charles Manson NEVER discussed politics! Was he a LIBERAL? I don't know? But based upon the FACTS we know about Jim Jones heroes being Socialistic and Communistic type people.... YES, I believe the man was a LIBERAL! I also think he would have voted for obama because he would have seen Romney much more… conservative! :)
