Default Communist Party USA say they helped elect Obama & want to keep the ball rolling

Now I'm not sure if this is a real website or something some right wing nut job dreamed up and with the help of godaddy.com got registered as a website to slander Obama.

Seriously though it is important that we all read and understand what is being said by the Communist Party USA about Obama and the unions.

A special report to the 29th National Convention of the Communist
Party
by: Joelle Fishman
May 27 2010


"The 2010 elections are at the center of the struggle for working class relief from economic crisis, poverty, inequality and environmental devastation. Why? Because this election will either solidify the progressive breakthrough of 2008, or send the country reeling backward.

" Barack Obama's election as president was a victory won by an amazing broad alliance of which we were a part. Our contribution focused on building unity, challenging racism and expanding voter participation ."

There's more: "Working people are angry and searching for solutions. Voters' anger can be turned into collective action for a pro-worker agenda or it can become manipulated by right-wing populism. So far there are examples of both taking place.

" Our focus is on building up the strength of the labor movement, racially oppressed, women, youth along with LGBT, environment and peace allies as part of the broad electoral alliance

"This goes beyond any one election to the need for organizing a lasting movement and building working class leadership in our country that can reorder priorities and change foreign policy.

"A great example is the IAM's U-Cubed organization of unemployed workers that is pushing for job creation. They got out the vote in Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary which defeated Sen Arlen Specter in favor of Rep. Joe Systak. The IAM said, 'Now it's our turn to turn the screws with our votes. Together we can put America back to work.'

" The election of President Obama opened a door. The challenge to us and the labor and people's organizations is to walk through that door in the millions with mass struggle for jobs and relief.

"The anger of workers was turned into unity against the financial institutions in big mass actions during May Day week. Joint labor - immigrant rights marches and civil disobedience protests against the Arizona law represent the kind of unity that can increase workers' strength in the elections and improve the balance in Congress."

I'm not surprised. Sickened? Yes. I am confused by the blindness of other people who call themselves Americans and claim to love this country and the principles she was built on. To be honest though, my confusion is turning into aggrevation at their seeming unwillingness to read, research and educate themselves. I guess it just goes back to my realization that some people just want to sit back and be spoonfed and not work for anything on their own.

When I posted during the campaign on here about the rousing, ringing endorsment by the Communist Party I was made fun of !!!

Actually, at one point called a racist which I never understood !

In the Communist comments above there is a quote where an organization is mentioned. "A great example is the IAM's U-Cubed organizationof unemployed workers." This is actual a union for the unemployed.

Are you really trying to say that if someone voted for Obama they are Un-American? You guys are really going off the reservation now.

Are we in 2000's or back in the 50's with the Communists under every bed.

cologal, your response is a perfect example of my aggrevation. Here is why: Almost everything that has been written (if done properly) since the beginning of the written language, has a subject.

The subject in the original converstation was the article by the Communist Party USA saying they helped elect Obama, and now that the Communist Party USA sees the door open to push their beliefs in the upcoming November election.

My response was to Yoda asking if that surprised me. The word
that in Yoda's question goes back to the original subject of the Communist Party USA helping elect Obama et al.

But somehow you take one part of what I said and find a question in it without actually addressing the subject.

I don't know if that is on purpose or not.

But it really, really emphasises the confusion and aggrevation part of my actual statement responsing to Yodi asking me if I am surprised by the Communist Party USA stating they helped get Obama elected: I'm not surprised. Sickened? Yes. I am confused by the blindness of other people who call themselves Americans and claim to love this country and the principles she was built on. To be honest though, my confusion is turning into aggrevation at their seeming unwillingness to read, research and educate themselves. I guess it just goes back to my realization that some people just want to sit back and be spoonfed and not work for anything on their own.

It just seems that you didn't read the subject, Communist Party USA statements, but instead you read what I wrote and found a way to pull something out of context and change the subject. Trying to understand why you would do that confuses and aggrevates me.

The CPUSA has been barking like a chihuahua ever since the collapse of the Iron Curtain. They are just that - a little yipping dog and should be treated as such. Hold them up to the light, let everyone see what they're made of - and we'll have a good laugh at their expense.

For those who will get the reference they are, for all in tents and purposes, the Judean People's Front. Or the People's Front of Judea. Or the Popular Front.

C-Span held them to the light of television cameras at their 29th National Convention May 29.

Oh yeah, I get the reference to Judean People's Front. You act as if the Communist Party of the USA is "The Funniest Joke in the World." Let's just hope America as we know it doesn't die laughing at the CPUSA.

Bk; it's always the same with the Obama Defense Squad. If the subject is troublesome to the "chosen one" then the tactic is to belittle the argument or story and then attack and defame the author or commentator, so that you feel you have to defend yourself and stray from the original point. I know you know this, but I write this for those who forget the tactics of the progressive left.

Trust me I read the subject....but honestly I have a fundamentally different view on things like this. I purely dislike the Westboro Church and what they do at the funerals of fallen soldiers. I hate that what they do is covered under Freedom of Speech, hopefully the Supreme Court will change this in the future. So the Communist Party of the USA still is afforded, in this country, freedom of speech. It is their right to say whatever they want to say. Doesn't make Obama a communist.... And its not something to get my shorts in a twist about. Many others things that are more important.

In another thread you and I discussed a similar issue.... I have 3 nephews currently serving in the military. But I protested the Iraq war you questioned how I could do that? I believe we have a duty to protect our troops and their service and because of that I protest any war that does not fundamentally protect the United States. Doesn't mean I am UnAmerican.

Do you think that we didn't say many of the things you are saying now 8 years ago. I remember saying I want my country back.

If you and I sat down and actually talked about the issues you would be surprised on the number of issues we could find agreement on.

Surely don't mean to aggrevate you.....

You know we feel the same way about the Bush Defense Squad. I know you know this, but I write this for those who forget the tactics of the Conservative right.
