Battle Lines Being Drawn in Fight Over Fairness Doctrine
The truth is obvious to anyone who hears it. But don’t expect the Left to be honest about its intentions. I am so glad I washed my hands of it when I stopped being a Marxist in 1987. I walked away from these people because, believe me when I tell you this, the things they say about conservatives will curl your hair. They want to shut you up and none of them will lose any sleep over circumscribing the First Amendment. For these people, the First Amendment is an opening to be exploited for advancing, by stealth, the strategy of Antonio Gramsci. You must allow them to spread their ideology, but if you fight back they will bring all of their resources to bear to shut you up.
They get away with it because they’ve repackaged the descriptive names for their movements, ideas, and groups. They wrap themselves in the flag and the Constitution, but it’s all a sham in order to fool you into thinking that Marxism and Communism are dead. Believe me, they’re not. They’ve just burrowed deeper into our institutions and our politics.
In the years ahead all of you are going to see just how successful this strategy has been. As they gain more and more political power, they will completely change this society. You won’t recognize the America we all grew up in.
Before she became the House Minority Leader in the late Nineties, Nancy Pelosi was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. In the early Nineties another group, The New Party, spun off from the Democratic Socialists of America. Guess who was one of the founding members of that party? None other than Barack Obama. All of the major leaders of the Democratic Party now are in one way or another beholden to or actually loosely affiliated with The Democratic Socialists of America. These senators and congressmen typically are long serving members from urban districts where there is a heavy concentration of the Left and those who bank on its largesse.
Chuckie Schumer is one shrewd politician. You can be sure that he knows which judges and courts can be relied on to uphold the latest incarnation of The Fairness Doctrine. The nation is in serious danger. People like me may sound like wild, shrieking Cassandras but in the years ahead you will come to know that we were right.
