In his article Enemies of the Constitution, Alan Caruba talks about Constitutional scholar Louis Michael Seidman. Here is an excerpt from this article:
"Perhaps the stupidest idea given an airing in a recent edition of The
New York Times is Prof. Louis Michael Seidman’s opinion, 'Let’s Give Up
on the Constitution.' According to his commentary, Prof. Seidman has “taught constitutional
law for almost 40 years” and he was 'ashamed' it took him that long to
conclude that it was an outdated, “bizarre” document."
The main purpose of the constitution is to protect the citizens - from their government! That is why Obama's crusade to do away with the second amendment is so serious. It is much easier to take over a country when the citizens are unarmed (see What Happens When a Government Disarms its Citizens?)
Yesterday I did a post where I provide some links to W. Cleon Skousen's YouTube Videos The Naked Capitalist (See Debbie Schlussel Takes on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, While Joseph Farah Takes on Fox News). I was surprised today to find an article that talked about The Naked Capitalist (the book that the videos were based upon). The article is titled America, You Were Warned 40 Years Ago!, by Dr. Steven Lambert.
Dr. Lambert just mentioned The Naked Capitalist, because that author had republished a document that was made public in 1963 by the Communist Party, USA titled: Goals of the Communist Party. Dr. Lambert claims, and I agree with him, that many - if not most - of these goals have already been accomplished. When conservatives accuse President Obama of being a Marxist, we are comparing his vision for America with these 45 stated goals of the Communist Party in 1963.
The Naked Capitalist was published in 1970. In 1971 another important book was written: None Dare Call it Conspiracy. The author of this book was Gary Allen. Here is what Mr. Allen has to say about Communism:
"The first principle in any encounter, whether it be football or war
(hot or cold), is: Know your enemy. The American people do not know their enemy.
Consequently, it is not strange at all that for three decades we have been
watching one country of the world after another fall behind the Communist
curtain.
In keeping with the fact that almost everybody seems to have his own
definition of Communism, we are going to give you ours, and then we will attempt
to prove to you that it is the only valid one. Communism: AN INTERNATIONAL,
CONSPIRATORIAL DRIVE FOR POWER ON THE PART OF MEN IN HIGH PLACES WILLING TO USE
ANY MEANS TO BRING ABOUT THEIR DESIRED AIM-GLOBAL CONQUEST.
You will notice that we did not mention Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky,
bourgeois, proletariat or dialectical materialism. We said nothing of the
pseudo-economics or political philosophy of the Communists. These are the
TECHNIQUES of Communism and should not be confused with the Communist conspiracy
itself. We did call it an international conspiratorial drive for power. Unless
we understand the conspiratorial nature of Communism, we don't understand it at
all. We will be eternally fixated at the Gus Hall level of Communism. And that's
not where it's at, baby!"
