San Diego Residents Face 6 Years In Prison For Washing Their Car

Old doesn't mean true. Many of those things that has been accomplised in some way at the time it was written, you just noticed them now. I do like some of these:

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.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

Do you want to live in a world ravaged by nuclear energy?

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.

The Wall fell so that goal is no longer feasable.

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.)

It's either the United Nations or the Divided Nations. The Communist nations took other countries by force and those that weren't part of them were pretty much enemies, depending on the level of extremism. Countries apply to join the United Nations of their own free will and even if they aren't part of them, they get along fine with the rest of the world.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

They have to swear your loyalty to the Communist government of the Nation they live in. Here, you only have to swear loyalty when you join the service or become US citizens. The rest of the time it's optional, as it should be.

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.

Communist propaganda isn't being taught in schools. The only ones who have control of student newspapers are the schools.

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.

People can publish anything they like, so the First Amendment is not being violated. The press is required to print what is actually been verified as true. Journalists that deliberatly print libel and outright lies can be subject to lawsuits and lose their jobs.

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."

Shapeless, meaningless art is the only thing that doesn't offend the Religious Right. Put a statue or painting of a partially nude body and they get pissy. More so, what does art have to do with American culture when not all art is American? #23 has no basis in fact.

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.

What's obscene is a matter of perspective and when laws are made to control what one can read, watch or listen to, it's censorship and a violation of free speech and free press which are protected by the Constitution. That is frequent in a Communist government, so it sorta conflicts there.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

One thing worth noting about devoted Communists is that they are actually very conservative, even if they don't hold any religious beliefs beyond the dogma taught to them by their leaders. Homosexuality wasn't exactly looked highly upon in a Communist nation and they were frequently persecuted and a federal level.

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."

How is that happening today? Churches are protected as are the words they teach from their texts, no matter how vile some of them can be. Liberals don't give a damn how a church is run, as long as they have no part in the government.

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."

What religious students do on their own time is up to them, but it seems that the Christian ones get aggressive when they are told told to pray in private, that they cannot preach in the classrooms and hallways or have to learn subjects they find sacrilegious (evolution, sex-education). It's even more annoying that Christian groups are trying to revise tax-payer funded schools with their variation (intellegent design/creation science, abstinence only education, revised history that historians found incorrect). In all, they are trying to indocrinate impressionable young minds before they are old enough to understand the religion and make the choice for themselves. I'm not picking on Christianity, per se, it's only because it is the dominate religion in North America.

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."

On the contrary, we have a strong respect for the Constitution. What's inadequate, old fashioned and out of step are people's interpretation of the documents that made this country free. To moralists, the First Amendment is about "freedom of religion". Yes, it's also grants people's rights to be free of religion by default of the fact that the US Government is meant be religiously neutral. Many of the Founding Fathers traveled through Europe where religious persecution by a church run government was common place there and even in what would later be the United States. The French Revolution started largly because people were starving while the ruling monarchy and the Roman Catholic church gave little to nothing to help them while they themselves lived in luxury. The Founders took a stand right there with a quil and a sheet of hemp paper.

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.

What's American culture? Our cultures are so diverse, there's nothing really exclusive. The only time Russian history (pre-soviet) was ever taught in American schools were in Russian language classes, most often taught by American citizens who, if they came from the USSR, left to get away from Soviet culture and it's ruling government. No basis in fact that Russian history was taught instead of American culture.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Good! The HUAC and later Joseph McCarthy spent more time interogating Americans with no verified ties to Communist parties and ruining their careers while any genuine Communists completed their missions right under their noses because they had training to blend in. I question if there was any actual cases of Communist espionage in the first place. The FBI isn't going to admit it even it there was a successful case of it.

You couldn't be a free-thinker, a member of a non-Christian/Catholic religion in a government position or in Hollywood without being on their Blacklist. They hated liberals and equated them with Communists just like Conservatives are doing today.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

The TEA party and the Republicans are always talking about wanting a small government and the government grew quite a bit under J. Edgar Hoover's control. They are, however, needed to control the criminal element of society.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

Unions are in people's control. Conservatives want to get of all forms of Unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

The last time the government gave money to save a business, refering to General Motors, Conservatives accused Obama of infiltrating and gaining control of them. He gave them back the business after it was stabilized.

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.

If someone is considered mentally disturbed, holding them in prison for their crimes is a violation of a person's rights until they can be mentally evaluated. If they are insane, treat them as long as necessary until they are no longer a threat, which may not happen with some as mental diseases can only be treated, not cured. If they were considered mentally stable at the time of their crimes, try them approprately.

In Communist controlled governments, those found to be disturbed were treated the same as any criminal and if they weren't executed, they spent the rest of their natural lives in prision. In some cases, they didn't have to even commit a crime in the first place.

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.

How are they a Communist value?

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.

Right now we have hard-right militias doing that holding the same paranoid beliefs that are written on "The Communist Takeover of America". Ever since 2008, they've been loading their guns and sharpening their knives praying for a revolution. Now there are petitions being passed around for their state to secede from the rest of the US.

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.

If #43 happened, it was happening around 100-200 years ago while the country was growing.

The Panama Canal is still a US territory. If anything it serves as a neutral zone when dealing with aggressive nations.

There is no World Court. It's nothing but a New World Order consipracy theory.


To sum it all up, you have events that conflicts with what happened or is happening in actual Communist nations. Liberals don't want to be controlled by anyone, not by the government, not by the church. What you have there Cold War paranoia written by a right-wing nutcase nearly 50 years ago, updated to reflect the events happening today. No different than someone insisting that Armageddon or the Rapture is coming and I'm sure some of you believe in those things too.

By the way, I support outlawing circumcision nationwide. It's an unnessary and involuntary removal of a natural body part and no different than removing a girl's clitoris. It should be limited to religious practice if it's done on an infant. A man can have it done when they are old enough to make the decision themselves.
