The ACLU/Communist Manifesto Meets its Match…

“In 1963 the Congressional Report below detailed how The Communist Party and Moscow planned to undermine the economy, security, business and freedom in the United States of America.” Thus began an email I received that detailed the congressional investigation of the Communist Party in America. Reading the original statements is not only instructive in a historical sense, but puzzling. Why puzzling? To me it is why our government did and those who watch over our republic, see these Communist statements, subsequently assigned to the ACLU, for what they are – a declaration of war against Capitalism, the United States and freedom.

In 1954 Congress passed the Communist Control Act. The Congressional investigation into the Communist Party manifesto below took place in 1963. It would seem to anyone who can count that the 1963 investigation was unnecessary, and that all that needed to be done was to reiterate the fact that the United States of America was not going to allow subversion, nor anything that was subversive to be promulgated. Yet what did Congress do? They investigated and reported. Subsequently Roger Baldwin started the ACLU.

Again citing the person (Maryanne) who was kind enough to send me Communist/ACLU manifesto stated: “Look up what the self-professed Communist founder of the ACLU, Roger Nash Baldwin, stated… It will shock you. He defines socialism as the MEANS, and Communism as the GOAL…. the ACLU was founded by Communists for the express purpose of undoing America from the inside out. It seems that Baldwin and his successors have has been pretty successful given the ACLU of today, and their constant interference with the legitimate goals and objectives defined by our Founding Fathers and memorialized in the constitution.

Why they were not stopped as soon as they were organized? I imagine that the beginning of Political Correctness occurred when we “looked the other” way when groups like the nascent ACLU began their attack on our society. We probably said, “What harm can they do? Oh, certainly we believe in civil liberties.”

I doubt that we would ask those same questions today. The harm is all around us. The ACLU along with its support groups, the Main Stream Media, and The Democratic controlled Congress and Senate, are systematically dismantling the constitution al basis of our country, and substituting government tyranny in place of liberty and justice.

We can fight this. It takes a simple notion to start that process. Take a look below and the differences, however slight in what the ACLU wants to do, and what Speriamo proposes. Let’s start now to take control.

Given that the Communists, and the ACLU - one and the same - have managed to accomplish some of their ends, it seems to me that another group, Conservatives and loyal Americans who are opposed to this type of governance can do the same. We can refute these tenants. In doing so, we can undo much of what has been destroyed by the enemies of our Constitution, and the Capitalist nation we are, always have been and always want to be.
