Yes, socialism is demonstrably anti-American and should be a crime since at its heart it is unconstitutional. Now we know who to put on trial once we take control.

However, and more to the point, I am questioning the association of the CPC list to a socialist membership list, since none of the socialist websites actually contain the list of names. The combination of the socialist propaganda to the list of names first appears on the Scribd.com website, which is of dubious character. I suspect the PDF "Newsletter" is contrived and the claim is bogus. To one as far to the right as yourself, however, they may seem socialist, but there isn't any verifiable proof other than to claim that that they are Progressives. Is Donald Segretti still alive? His spirit certainly is! Greg, good catch!

The Tea Party Caucus is some kind of oxymoron, which is why the numbers are few(er). "Progressives," of course, are just morons. Caucuses (or cauci) are "clubs" formed to consolidate power.

Social redistribution--the shift of wealth and resources from the rich to the rest of society--will require: massive redistribution of income from corporations and the wealthy to wage earners and the poor and the public sector, in order to provide the main source of new funds for social programs,income maintenance and infrastructure rehabilitation, and a massive shift of public resources from the military (the main user of existing discretionary funds) to civilian uses. This is the crux of the socialist movement - taken directly from their website. Socialism is a miserable myth with its promise of equality but at the cost of freedom, choice and any chance to paid for talents of the individual and reward those who fail to perform or excel. When all are "equal" why try to do better or get further ahead - no reason to do anything extra. Ain't bein' equal just great? With no military you are ripe for attack. If you take the money away from your defense, you are defenseless. Now who is so stupid to dream this stuff up? Social Redistribution.

Quite understandably there are more in the "progressive caucus", and none of the "progressive caucus" members from Virginia are members of the Democratic Socialists Of America, as reported, as well. Glad to see you're digging to verify the information you're getting, but this DSA list is different from the "progressive caucus." No, it is not the exact same listing of members.

Nowhere in any of the socialist websites mentioned did I find this membership list. I think it is very curious that the questions first appear on a conservative website that copies names from a house.gov website. I can't find a direct link to the October 2009 newsletter on any site other that Scribd.com, which has had some copyright issues in the past. My Bravo Sierra detector is going off!

Comrad Obama Et Al has turned this into "The Socialist Republic of the United States of America" It breaks my heart because we all watched it happen and so far nothing has been done to change it. I love my country and I will fight to the end to bring it back, but it will take a lot of work and people to put their money where their mouth is and people to get out to vote to bring us back to our former glory. That includes not apologizing for our actions and our greatness. Does this surprise anyone? Comrad Obama Et Al has turned this into “The Socialist
