54 Socialists Are In The United States Congress

By Charles A. Morse
This Republic honors the rights of free speech, expression, and
association. These rights, the hallmark of a free society, are
protected through time honored Constitutional guarantees. An
American citizen is free, for example, to be a Socialist, a
Communist, a Nazi, a member of the KKK, or a member of any
group, as long as he obeys the law and doesn't act in a manner that
would threaten the freedom, safety, and liberty of his fellow citizens.
This principle is the foundation as well as the price of freedom.

Congressmen, however, swear on a Bible to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution of the United States. They are elected and
compensated to fulfill that sacred oath — both in letter and in spirit.
Affiliation, therefore, with an organization that advocates a political
system that blatantly contradicts the Constitution, while not illegal per
se, — has the effect of eroding faith and trust in our government,
society, and the rule of law.

A Congressmen who affiliates with an International Socialist
organization is really no different, in this regard, than a
Congressmen who, theoretically, would join an organization that
advocates a Monarchy, or a government based on laws of racial
supremacy.

The Democratic Socialists of America, the organization in question,
advocates an authoritarian political system that is antithetical to
American Constitutional principals. This poses a major
contradiction for an elected Congressmen who also happens to be
a member of such an organization.

There are, presently, 54 Congressmen who are members of the
Democratic Socialists of America which bills itself as the largest
organization in America to be affiliated with the Socialist
International. These Congressmen represent the extreme political
left of the Democrat Party.

This is, lets be clear, not comparable to participation in the old left,
Stalinist apparatus which, during the Franklin D. Roosevelt
Administration in the 1930's and 1940's, set up secret Communist
cells who were spying for the Kremlin.

A Congressman who is a member of an organization like the DSA
has, again, done nothing illegal per se. However, he nonetheless
signs onto, witting or otherwise, a political philosophy and
methodology that is un-Constitutional and, therefore, un-American.

While the purpose of this article is not to impugn the patriotism of
these Congressmen, and while they, no doubt, sincerely believe that
their international authoritarian faith is pro-American, they,
nonetheless, should be identified and their record and actions
studied and scrutinized. Following is a list of Congressmen who are
presently members of the Democratic Socialists of America:

Bernard Sanders-VT,Chair, Cynthia A. McKinney-GA, Co-Chair,
Peter DeFazio-OR, Co-Chair, Maurice Hinchey-NY,Co-Chair, Major
Owens-NY.Co-Chair, Nydia M. Velazquez-NY, Lane Evans-IL,
Maxine Waters-CA, Earl Hilliard-AL, Ed Pastor-AZ, Lynn C.
Woolsey-CA, George Miller-CA, Nancy Pelosi-CA, Fortney "Pete"
Stark-CA, Henry A. Waxman-CA, Xavier Becerra-CA, Julian C.
Dixon-CA, Esteban Edward Torres-CA, George E. Brown-CA, Bob
Filner-CA, Diane DeGette-CO, Corrine Brown-FL, Carrie P.
Meek-FL, Alcee L. Hastings-FL, John Lewis-GA, Neil
Abercrombie-HI, Patsy Mink-HI, Luis Gutierrez-IL, Danny Davis-IL,
Julia Carson-IN, John Olver-MA, Jim McGovern-MA, Barney
Frank-MA, John Tierney-MA, David Bonior-MI, Lynn N. Rivers-MI,
John Conyers-MI, Bennie G. Thompson-MS, Melvin L. Watt-NC,
Donald Payne-NJ, Jerrold Nadler-NY, Charles Rangel-NY, Jose E.
Serrano-NY, John LaFalce-NY, Marcy Kaptur-OH, Dennis
Kucinich-OH, Stephanie-Tubbs-Jones-OH, Sherrod Brown-OH,
Elizabeth Furse-OR, Chaka Fattah-PA, William Coyne-PA, Carlos
A. Romero-Barcelo-PR, Robert C. Scott-VA, James A.
McDermott-WA.

The DSA website contains the same old Marxist jargon of
yesteryear. It states as a basic principal,

"We are socialists because we share a vision of a
humane international social order".

This is nothing more than a transparent euphemism for world
government. This is re-enforced by links, on their website, to such
world government advocacy groups as the World Federalist
Association. They call for "democratic planning" and "market
mechanisms" to achieve an "equitable distribution of resources".
This so-called "democratic" planning, with the elastic euphemism
"democratic" laced thorough their literature, and the "distribution of
resources" is, of course, a euphemistic way of advocating total,
authoritarian government with absolute control over property and the
"mode of production".

The DSA favors the gradual, Fabian approach to world socialism as
opposed to their Leninist-Communist counterparts who call for
outright violent Revolution as a means of conquering the world. The
Fabian Socialists of the DSA plan on world conquest through
legislation. This is why an extremely jaundiced eye should apply to
DSA Congressmen. Last I checked, none of these powers are
granted by our Constitution, the same Constitution that these
Congressmen pledged to uphold with their sacred honor.

In fact, the DSA stands for nothing more than re-hashed
Communism. This same Communism was responsible, according
to the recently published Black Book of Communism, for the
murder of over 100 million souls worldwide.

In the name of "the people" these evil totalitarian ideas, when
enthroned, have caused more poverty, misery, hate, and death than
any known in the history of man. We should watch the actions of
these 54 Socialist Congressmen if we value freedom. We should
examine each one of them and publish their voting record and
rhetoric for all to see.
