Bob Ellis introduces a report on a memorial for victims of communist atrocities:
A congressionally authorized "Memorial to the Victims of Communism" is going up on Tuesday in Washington, DC, according to WorldNetDaily.
According to the article, it will go up at the intersections of Massachusetts and New Jersey Avenues, about two blocks from Union Station and within view of the Capitol.
Many in our own country have for years ignored the oppression of those forced to live under communism, and some, such as Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, have actually been active in fighting our efforts to combat communism and have even aided our communist enemies against us.
Much of the blood of the 100 million victims is on our American hands because of our indifference and because of our treason against freedom. In a sense, the monument is as much an indictment of our moral failure as it is a memorial to those victims.
And here is another WorldNetDaily report detailing the atrocities communists are committing against Christians in Vietnam:
Two more members of a mostly-Christian population in the Central Highlands of Vietnam have died at the hands of authorities, according to a U.S.-based foundation whose leaders recently issued a plea to President Bush to ask Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet about such tragedies when the two meet later this month.
The death toll from the communist government's persecution of Christians there actually is rising by three, but one of the deaths happened some time ago, only to be reported recently. The two other deaths have happened just in recent weeks, according to officials with the the Montagnard Foundation.
As WND reported, that group just days ago sent an open letter to Bush asking him to pressure the president of Vietnam to stop the "persecution, torture, killings and imprisonment" of the Degar Montagnards, a group of people who sided with the U.S. during the Vietnam war and have been persecuted since.
Little is being said by the Drive-by media about those consequences of the McGovern anti-war Democrats and our surrender to the communists in Vietnam . Here is more:
The open letter to Bush had been written by Kok Ksor, the president of the foundation, and describes how the attacks began as soon as the communists took over South Vietnam after the U.S. military pullout.
"One of those victims was my uncle, a civilian congressman for the Montagnards who was publicly executed in 1975," Ksor wrote. "Ever since the Vietnamese government has continued land exploitation, Christian persecution, torture, killings and imprisonment of our people. Religious persecution continues today as authorities torture house church Christians who resist joining the 'official' church."
"Mr. President, We ask that you: Strongly urge Vietnam to release all of the estimated 350 Montagnard Degar Prisoners from Vietnamese prisons…," the letter said, citing a Human Rights Watch report documenting those cases.
One can only imaging the atrocities that will happen if we do what the Democrats want today…surrender to the Islamic Jihadists in Iraq.
But the anti-war movement is just one part of the Cultural Marxist movement. Again, I post the introduction to a must read Linda Kimball column:
There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. "The Sixties are dead," wrote columnist George Will (Slamming the Doors, Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)
Because the New Left lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace’ activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay’ rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of subversive organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.
Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. Code words by which they can be recognized are: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.
And Kimball explains why the communists are after Christians:
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world’s proletariat had not heeded Marx’s call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.
Separately, two Marxist theorists—Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary—concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Thus we see the secularization of America. Kimball then explains what created the so-called "moderate mainstream" movement in the Republican Party:
Both political correctness and Critical Theory are in essence, psychological bullying. They are the psycho political battering rams by which Frankfurt School disciples such as the ACLU are forcing Americans to submit to and to obey the will and the way of the Left. These devious devices are but psychological versions of Georg Lukacs and Laventi Beria’s ‘cultural terrorism’ tactics. In the words of Beria, "Obedience is the result of force…Force is the antithesis of humanizing actions. It is so synonymous in the human mind with savageness, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarism, that it is only necessary to display an inhuman attitude toward people to be granted by those people the possessions of force." (The Russian Manual on Psychopolitics: Obedience, by Laventi Beria, head of Soviet Secret Police and Stalin’s right-hand man)
Double-thinking ‘fence-sitters’, otherwise known as moderates, centrists, and RINOs are an obvious result of these psychological ‘obedience’ techniques. These people—afraid of incurring the wrath of name-calling obedience trainers--- have opted to straddle the fence lest they be found guilty of possessing an opinion, one way or another. At the merest hint of displeasure from the obedience-trainers, up goes the yellow flag of surrender upon which it is boldly written: "I believe in nothing and am tolerant of everything!"
And Kimball ends with our mission:
It is said that courage is the first of the virtues because without it fear will paralyze man, thus keeping him from acting upon his moral convictions and speaking truth. Thus bringing about a general state of paralyzing fear, apathy, and submission—the chains of tyranny—is the purpose behind psychopolitical cultural terrorism, for the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda must, at all costs, be clothed in darkness.
The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children’s children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill’ where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.
And one vehicle for this mission is the Focus on the Family’s Truth Project.
