Fact: She was listed as one of 14 LEADERS of this socialist group.
Fact: The socialist group’s website ’suddenly’ removed her name from the web site a few days ago.
Fact: She hasn’t denied being a socialist.
Fact: Socialism IS the opposite of every American tradition that made this country great.
If you don’t understand the problems with socialism, then you need to take a step back, drop your liberal bias for a moment and learn about it. The fact is, the more socialist a country becomes, the less prosperous the nation and the people.

As a former liberal who used to sound like the whiners on this web site, I only wish you could hear how ignorant and biased you sound…

Progressives are a funny bunch. You have nothing to worry about with the right wing. They’re simply trying to persuade the public with debate and reason to see the world through their perspective. They are the last people on earth that would throw anybody into a gulag for their opposing ideas.

To this day, I don’t think the same thing can be said of the good-hearted left.

Their “Savior” trained them.

Rev. Moon’s Rising Political Influence
His empire is spending big money trying to win favor with conservatives.

On New Year’s Day, 1987, South Korean mystic Sun Myung Moon, who considers himself to be the son of God, told his Unification church followers that he wanted to expand the church’s political influence in the United States. His aim, Moon said, was “the natural subjugation of the American government and population.” [...]

[...] the [Unification] church has established a network of affiliated organizations and connections in almost every conservative organization in Washington, including the Heritage Foundation, the largest of the conservative think tanks and an important source of government personnel during the Reagan administration. Although Heritage officials deny it, the foundation has dramatically changed its policy toward the Unification Church. In the early 80’s the foundation, wary of the church’s aims, prohibited staff or fellows from being associated with Unification Church organizations or taking money from the church or church-financed institutions.

As the Washington Times has become the voice of capital conservatives, the Heritage Foundation has become far more tolerant of church ties. The foundation accepts the participation of Lichenstein and other senior fellows in church-funded enterprises and allows its staff members to go to church conferences.

The Unification Church’s newfound influence has occasioned intense debate among conservatives. One group of worried young conservatives meets regularly in private to compare notes about the problem. But little of the debate has surfaced in public forums. “Most people are afraid to address the issue because they don’t want to publicize the extent of the church’s involvement,” says Amy Moritz of the Conservative National Center for Public Policy Research.

Because almost all conservative organizations in Washington have some ties to the church, conservatives also fear repercussions if they expose the church’s role. That happened when one organization, the Capital Research Center, published a newsletter last November warning of the church’s attempt to create a “centralized world theocracy.” One of its board members, who was also on the board of the International Security Council, resigned in protest, and conservatives charging that the paper was creating discord on the right, besieged the center with angry calls. “We got a very, very strong reaction — almost as if we were the enemy — because we raised the issue,” says CRC Chairman Willa Johnson, a former president of the Heritage Foundation.

Moon is the bedrock behind today’s conservatism. He brought them to power and molded their minds.

Moon claims to be God incarnate and says he is greater than God in ways. He says his words are God’s words. He claims God sees Himself as sinner before him(Moon).

Moon continues to subvert societies around world but so few care. As you will see at that link, Bush the elder and son Neil both promote Moon’s messianic mission.

Astonishing.

Sun Myung Moon’s Washington Times is warning us that someone may want to push a “global governance”.

This is the paper Moon literally brags about using to “influence” our political system and that has pulled off this fraud that it is independent of Moon.

This is the same Moon organization which a congressional investigation put in its findings that its primary goal was “establishment of a worldwide government in which the separation of church and state would be abolished and which would be governed by Moon and his followers.”

Other quotes from the investigation:

Alan Tate Wood, a former UC member who had been president of the FLF [Moon political front], described to the subcommittee some of Moon’s political ambitions and activities. He said that Moon, through the UC [Unification Church] and its numerous front organizations, wanted to acquire enough influence in America to be able to “dictate policy on major issues, to influence legislation, and move into electoral politics.” In the United States, the political goals of the UC and those of the KCIA [South Korean Central Intelligence Agency] “overlap so thoroughly as to display no difference at all.”

In many public statements and in applications for tax-exempt status, the goals of the Moon movement are said to be religious. Actions which appeared to be clearly political or economic to outsiders were explained as necessary means to achieve religious goals. The apparent contradictions in many of the activities of the Moon Organization are explained by Moon’s overriding religious goal — to establish a worldwide “theocracy,” that is, a world order which would abolish separation of church and state and be governed by the immediate direction of God. As Moon explained to his followers:

“In the Medieval Ages, they had to separate from the cities –statesmanship from the religious field–because people were corrupted at that time. But when it comes to our age, we must have an automatic theocracy to rule the world. So, we cannot separate the political field from the religious. […]

Separation between religion and politics is what Satan likes most.”

At the center of such a state would be Moon and his organization, based in Korea. In another speech, delivered to a crowd of over a million at an anti-Communist rally in Korea, Moon visualized the establishment of a “unified civilization” of the whole world, to be centered in Korea and “corresponding to that of the Roman Empire.”

Moon teaches American UC members to regard Korea with great reverence and he foresees the day when the Korean language will be spoken throughout the world:

“In order to set up one culture, we must unify the languages into one[…][Fraser Report Oct. 1978]

Quoting James Whelan, the first editor of Moon’s Washington Times, quit the paper saying it was a “moonie newspaper” and that he had “blood on his hands” for helping Moon gain credibility.

He also said this – too bad no one seems to care that it is true – and has ALREADY been done:

“They (the Moonies) are subverting our political system. They’re doing it through front organizations–most of them disguised–and through their funding of independent organizations–through the placement of volunteers in the inner sanctums of hard-pressed organizations. In every instance–in every instance–those who attend their conferences, those who accept their money or their volunteers, delude themselves that there is no loss of virtue because the Moonies have not proselytized. That misses the central, crucial point: the Moonies are a political movement in religious clothing. Moon seeks power, not the salvation of souls. To achieve that, he needs religious fanatics as his palace guard and shock troops. But more importantly, he needs secular conscripts–seduced by money, free trips, free services, seemingly endless bounty and booty–in order to give him respectability and, with it, that image of influence which translates as power.”

Moon has been conditioning the right for years so this article is nothing new. There is reason he spent billions in overseas cash on the paper and it wasn’t because he was “anti-communist” for he is anti-democracy also. There is a reason he funded theocrats like Lahaye and Falwell. There’s a reason he propped up Richard Viguerie all these years. There’s a reason he created front groups like the American Freedom Coalition – to gather the religious right for political power. If you can’t see this by now God help you.

Yes, as R.M. says, David pushes people away by comparing Drudge to Hitler.

But he also uses the words “faggot” and “pussy,” and so his post manages to go out of its way to insult gay people and women as well. (I mean, really. We don’t tolerate the use of the “n” word these days, do we? So why should we tolerate these words either?) The attack on gay people is especially ironic, and awful, given the reference to Hitler — who singled gay people out along with Jews (and those “socialists” known as Communists, I might add, along with other groups) for extermination.

Please, let’s just stick to insulting Matt Drudge and other right-wing propagandists. Let’s not join those propagandists in spreading hatred of gay folks and women. Thanks.

Bizarrely, Drudge and Newsbusters are also promoting a global warming denial story from the Russian web-based tabloid Pravda.

It gets even more bizarre–apparently the author is also a 9/11 Truther.
