The Enemies Within: Congress Is Full of Communists, Socialists and Progressives--Who Are They?

A new 689 page encyclopedia by Trevor Loudon has just been published called "The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists, and Progressives in the U.S. Congress" as WND reports. Its a companion to his 2011 668 page tome, "Barack Obama and the Enemies Within".

Excerpts:

In his 2011 book, Loudon presented documented evidence that Barack Obama’s rise in politics was not an accident, but a conscious, decade-long effort by the radical left to promote a candidate with African roots. Obama, he said, was packaged as an engaging and seemingly harmless Trojan Horse radical, sent to Chicago to refine his skills running for office as a Democratic Party politician.

...Obama’s education in communist ideology stretches from the extracurricular education he received from Communist Party mentor Frank Marshall Davis in Honolulu to his recruitment as a New Party candidate in Chicago, with strong ties to the Democratic Socialists of America.

The goal of these radicals in Congress, Loudon demonstrates, is the same goal Obama announced when running for president in 2008, to transform the United States from the constitutional republic established by its Founding Fathers into a radical socialist state. The aim is to be achieved through passing extensive social welfare legislation designed to bankrupt a government adhering to concepts of private property and private enterprise.

In an insightful essay on the Democratic Socialists of America, Loudon emphasizes the impact on U.S. radicals of the late Italian Communist Party theoretician Antonio Gramsci, whose writings from prison declared that the “working class revolution” is a dead end, arguing instead that communism can best be achieved “by infiltrating civil society – political parties, churches, labor unions, universities, the media, community groups, etc., to turn them into revolutionary vehicles.”

End quote.

Names listed are well known Democrats like Pelosi, Boxer, Durbin, Franken, Rangel, DeFazio, Jackson Lee, Harkin, etc. Extensive footnotes, along with photos, news clips, and website screen shots as well as quotations from published sources give a great amount of credibility to the claims of Loudon.

The summation is that Communism in American didn't die with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in fact there are ties especially with Obama and Congressional Leftists that run deep. They are not active, that's for sure.
