Reagan, moonbats/democrats, and communists

Yep, this one is long. Although a bit off-topic insofar as what is going on in D.C. today, I still believe it is appropriate simply because President Reagan fought long and hard for decades to defeat communism.

So without further ado, here it is: In my post about the moonbats in Los Angeles who voted to remove the cross from the county seal I received a comment asking why it was that I cared what was on the seal.

Well, I'll tell you why. They say if you do not learn history you are doomed to repeat it. Back in 1963, Representative Herlong, of Florida, introduced to the Congressional Record the 45 goals of Communism.

In response to the poster who asked the question, I refer him (and all of you) to numbers 27 and 28. Then go ahead (and bearing in mind this is California, home of Hollywood and San Francisco) read numbers 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 32, and 40.

Further, I believe our commenter belongs to the party that is referenced (and HAS BEEN subsequently captured) in number 15.

So here they are for your perusal. Look at how many they've already succeeded in accomplishing. It is depressing and reminiscent of the stories you read in the Bible where people began worshiping golden claves or relished in the hedonism of Sodom and Gomorrah. The only solution was their elimination.

Unless we take action to roll back some of these abhorrent accomplishments by leftists/socialists/communists/democrats in this country and definitively defeat these moonbats, we will slowly, but surely, tread that same ancient path of our Biblical forebears to our own destruction.


[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

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.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

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.

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

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

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.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

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.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

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."

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.

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

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."

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."

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."

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.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

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

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another Legend Passes Away

This is almost too much to bear. In a single week we lost the man who returned America to greatness and now, the man who sang about that greatness as well as some of the best songs of the last fifty years.

It was just announced that Ray Charles died today at the age of 73 at his home in Beverly Hills. He was a great one and a singing voice I will miss. Here is what some of his "fans" had to say ....

Aretha Franklin: "He's the voice of a lifetime."

Billy Joel: "Ray Charles was a true American original who many artists tried to emulate, among them myself, Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood and countless others."

Lou Reed: "Ray Charles changed my life forever, for the better, and I owe him a debt that cannot be paid."

At Ray Charles Online, they have posted a beautiful Shockwave Flash pictorial of September 11, 2001 with Ray singing "America The Beautiful" in the soundtrack. Absolutely nobody sang that song as well as Ray did. Nobody put as much heart and soul into it.

So long, Ray. We will miss your unbounded optimism, your love of America and last, but not least, your beautiful music.

Ray Charles
1930-2004

Small Clarification

In an earlier post I linked to an article stating that if Americans wanted to honor President Reagan, they should so by driving with their headlights ON until July 4th.

Thanks to Glenn Beck on his radio program just now, Americans are being asked to honor John Kerry and showing their support for him by driving with their headlights OFF...............at night!

WHAT A HOOT!!

Honoring Reagan

A quick trip on the 'Net this morning garnered these posts you might enjoy:

Governor Schwarzenegger recounts why President Reagan is his hero.


Michelle Malkin recalls how, at the age of 11, she was inspired by President Reagan.


R. Emmett Tyrell, Jr. talks about how back in 1988 a group of his friends were talking of honoring Reagan by putting his image on Mt. Rushmore. He now thinks there is only one mountain high enough for this.


A movement is underway to honor Reagan around the United States. And what better way than this to illuminate Reagan's "Shining City"


Even the gamblers will take a break in Las Vegas. For only the 7th time in its history Las Vegas will dim its lights.

Reagan Goodies

Several of you have asked for links to Reagan quotes, speeches, sound bites, videos, audios and other information relating to the great man. Here are a few of the best:

TownHall.Com: The Reagan Legacy (links, speeches, quotes, audio, video, photo gallery)

The Heritage Foundation: The Reagan Heritage (speeches, tributes, pictures, quotes, remembrances)

The Quotations Page: (notable quotes)

One of my favorite Reagan quotes:

"In some dim beginning, man created the institution of government as a convenience for himself. And, ever since that time, government has been doing its best to become an inconvenience."
-- Ronald Reagan, in a speech to the US Chamber Of Commerce


And the all-time bestest, funniest, quote from Reagan ......

"Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying."
-- Ronald Reagan, on his 75th birthday (1986)

President Ronald Reagan, My Hero

Logging on to the 'net this morning I was absolutely inundated with articles about President Ronald Reagan. I expected no less. The man was a truly great hero to most Americans. The problem is I don't know where to begin. I've thought about what I wanted to say but find my efforts (and words) wanting.

So I will keep it simple: Let's start with a great big "THANK YOU, RONNIE" for having the courage of your convictions. "THANK YOU, RONNIE" for your vision and for standing up to the "EVIL" communists. "THANK YOU, RONNIE" for giving us our credibility back. "THANK YOU, RONNIE" for bringing prestige back into a military stained by Jimmy Carter. "THANK YOU, RONNIE" for returning dignity back to the Presidency. Thank you for showing the world what statesmanship was again.

"THANK YOU, RONNIE" for giving me my country back.

If George W. Bush can be one quarter the statesman, visionary, and leader President Reagan was, our country will still be on the right path.

With that humble opening, I ask that if you read anything today, take the time to read the following article.

It was a speech given by President Reagan when he was stumping for Barry Goldwater, October 27, 1964. It is long but could be the best 10 minutes you'll spend today.

I consider President Reagan a visionary for seeing back then what took me until 1980 to see. Granted, in 1964 I was only 12 but my youth was idealistic. It took the shame and disgrace of Carter's presidency (let's never forget the world's apologists and accommodators awarded "Jimmeh" a Nobel Prize!) to open my eyes.

Reagan tells about how 2 Americans were talking to a Cuban refugee when the Americans looked at one another and comments how lucky they were. The Cuban responded, "How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to." The Cuban knew, as well as Reagan, the true story: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to." How right he was!

Reagan also goes into how destructive farm subsidies are; he touches on Social Security privatization, he mentions the folly of socialized health care pointing to France's bankrupt system; he warns of Democrat intentions to centralize all functions under government by saying this:
"Senator [J. William] Fulbright [D., Ark.] has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the president as our moral teacher and our leader, and he said he is hobbled in his task by the restrictions in power imposed on him by this antiquated document. He must be freed so that he can do for us what he knows is best. And Sen. [Joseph] Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government."

THAT is scary. And it is happening even today.

President Reagan talks of the folly of public housing; welfare; waste in government.

He was ahead of his time when he had this to say about what happens when conservatives question the motives of liberal largesse:
"Yet anytime you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we are denounced as being against their humanitarian goals. They say we are always "against" things, never "for" anything. "

40 years later that continues: we are the mean spirited, evil conservatives always wanting to take away social secuirty, put people in poverty, starve children. He goes on about how government is nothing but a bureaucracy hell bent on maintaining itself through constant growth.

As for the apologists we seem to have so many of today, he says:
"Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy "accommodation." And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer--not an easy answer--but simple."

Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Let's set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace--and you can have it in the next second: surrender.

If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand--the ultimatum. And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he would rather "live on his knees than die on his feet."

That's exactly where we are today, 40 years later. A large segment of our population, to include a complicitly treasonous media, are intent on negotiating, intent on being apologetic, intent on accommodating and intent on surrendering America to its enemies.

It's sad, really.

So let me close with this powerful quote and a lesson we must NEVER forget:
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.


We'll miss you, Gipper!

Precious Memories

Here at BMEWS we often talk about media bias and this week we are honoring President Reagan. I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't share something with you. I know you will be inundated with Reagan sound bites this week but there is one sound bite you will probably never see and it is the one I treasure the most. Early in his presidency, at a news conference, Reagan was attacked by Sam Donaldson of ABC news over the recession. Reagan's reply was a priceless, solid gold moment (3.6 MB MPEG video).

Here is the schedule for the coming week's funeral activities. All federal offices will be closed on Friday.

The Greatest American

The year was 1979. It was probably the worst year of my life. I had just ended my tour of duty in the Air Force and gotten out, my father had died, my marriage was falling apart, and America was going to hell in a handbasket. The Soviets were laughing at us, the radical Muslims had taken power in Iran and were holding Americans hostage in Teheran. President Jimmy "Peanuts" Carter was proving to be as useless as tits on a bull, as we Southerners like to say.

I left the Air Force for several reasons but the main one was that it was just not the same military my father had served in for thirty years. Drug use was rampant, discipline was slack, a sense of shame and failure hung over everyone in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and too many people in uniform just didn't seem to give a damn anymore. It seemed to me, at the time, that the American military had lost its sense of pride, honor and duty.

In the civilian world, everyone was still trying to come to grips with high inflation, high taxes, high interest rates, and movies like 1979's "Apocalypse Now" only ground in the sense of national failure in Vietnam and kept the wounds open. Veterans who had served in Vietnam went into hiding. At a place called Three-Mile-Island, one of our nuclear power plants almost went into meltdown after a tragic accident and the concept of cheap nuclear power was forever tainted and feared. To top it all off, the Soviets decided to invade Afghanistan, swaggering in with the Red Army to prove that they could do in that desolate country what we could not do in Vietnam.

It was indeed America's "darkest hour". If you didn't live through that period from 1979 to 1980, you have no concept of how depressed the country was or how badly damaged the national psyche seemed to be. As far as heroes, we had none left. Elvis had died in 1977 and then, in the summer of 1979, John Wayne passed away.

America was a ship with no wind in her sails, a broken rudder and no one at the helm.

Then came 1980 and all of a sudden things got weird. It was time for the Olympics, which were scheduled for Moscow (of all places) and it was a Presidential election year. For the Republicans, it was a crowded race with George H.W. Bush (former CIA Director), John Connally (former Texas Governor), Howard Baker (Senator from Tennessee), Bob Dole (Senator from Kansas) .... and former California Governor Ronald Reagan. On the Democratic side, incumbent President Jimmy Carter was being challenged by Senator Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy.

The nominating process went ahead and the challengers started to fall by the wayside. In March, President Carter announced the US would boycott the Moscow Olympics. In April, President Carter sent in a military mission to rescue the hostages being held in Iran - the mission failed miserably when eight US troops were killed in a mid-air collision during a sudden desert storm over southern Iran. In May, Mount St. Helens blew up, measuring 5.1 on the Richter Scale, killing 57 people and spreading ash and lava over 150 square miles of Washington state.

It truly seemed like the "end times" were upon us. Personally, I wouldn't have been a bit surprised to see the Riders Of The Apocaplypse, as predicted in Revelations, arrive at any moment. In fact, it probably would have been a relief. Kinda like comedian Jerry Clower's famous story about getting tied up in a fight up a tree with a raccoon and telling his fellow hunters below: “Just shoot up here amongst us. One of us needs some relief.”

As summer began, the Presidential race started to narrow down to two men: Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. In mid-summer, in a country in the Middle East that none of us had ever heard of, called Iraq, a madman named Saddam Hussein came to power and immediately started a deadly war with Iran.

What was on the mind of most of America? Believe it or not, the main concern of most Americans was "WHO SHOT J.R.?" Yep. It seems silly now but with the country fast approaching an historical pivot point and the world going to hell in a handbasket, most Americans were engaging in guessing who shot a fictional character in the season-ending cliffhanger episode of the TV show "Dallas". Looking back, I really doubt our national sanity. As a nation, we probably needed to be instutionalized and kept on heavy drugs - which was actually occurring - drug use was at all time highs (pardon the pun).

Lost in the middle of this national insanity and general malaise was one quiet voice talking about "a new morning in America". Ronald Reagan started to get my attention. Lots of other people listened too. He talked of bringing an end to "big government" and many other things that just seemed right. After the conventions, the famous Carter-Reagan debates sealed Carter's fate as far as I was concerned. Reagan had new ideas. He had a vision. He knew who he was and what he wanted. Above all, he loved America. He was a strong man with solid convictions, a great sense of humor and a steady aim. When he delivered the famous line "there you go again" in one of the debates with Carter, I knew right then and there that we had finally found the hero we needed. There was a light at the end of the tunnel - and it was named Reagan.

Well, you all know the rest. Carter was soundly defeated in November of that year. Reagan carried the election with 489 electoral votes to Carter's 49, a 10-1 margin. It was a landslide. America was starting to wake up. We finally had a leader.

The rest of the world also took note. They realized we had found a man to lead us who wouldn't take crap from anybody and who could be counted upon to do absolutely anything to return America to greatness. In other words, they understood plain and simple that the American people, when brought together and united under a strong leader, could be, and would be, absolutely dangerous to anyone opposing us.

On January 20, 1981, Ronald Wilson Reagan took the oath of office as the 40th President of the United States. Within minutes after he was sworn in, the Iranians released their American hostages and they were on a plane home. The "Reagan Revolution" had begun.

The next eight years can only be described as a miracle when you look at it from the perspective of what went before. The World War II generation has been referred to as the "Greatest Generation". Ronald Reagan was part of that generation. I like to think of him as the "Greatest American".

Thanks, Dutch. This one's for you ...........
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high unsurpassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
