“Viva La Libertad” was the cry of the many thousands of Republican socialists, leftists, trade unionists, Democrats, and Liberals that faced the firing squads of Franco’s Nationalist Fascist Falange during the Spanish Civil War, the first Fascist War in Europe. 

Organizing the Forces of Liberal-Democracy-To Liberate America

The First recorded Liberal:

“You have heard it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’, but I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also. You have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:38-43

To achieve electoral victory, the Democratic Party has been turning the other cheek for decades, and losing the fight for our liberties; by trying to follow a path of moderation and bi-partisan cooperation with an NFC movement whose clear purpose is to crush them, and the American system of Liberal-Democracy. If there is any lesson that should have been learned from WWII, it is that there can be no appeasement of Fascist movements. If we are to Liberate America, it is up to the people to lead.

“We…have never asserted ourselves representatives of the democratic point of view, but have openly declared that we take recourse to democratic means to win power and after our seizure of power, we shall decline without any hesitation, to afford to our opponents all those means which were put at our disposal in times of opposition”
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

Nothing has changed in the strategy of Fascism. As a result of gaining complete control of all branches of government; the Bush regime  demonstrated how any follow-on NFC Republican regime will behave.

They intend to enjoy the same complete immunity, and unchallenged dictatorial power to do whatever they like, from waging illegal wars, to presiding over organized systems of torture, to violating the Constitution and the Civil and Human Rights of the American people, and looting the U.S. treasury at the expense of the American commonwealth.

“The State is nothing more than a creation of man the social animal, and must always be subject to his will.”
Niccolo Machiavelli

The questions for all Americans to ask are:

1. Is the Democratic Party capable of recognizing the seriousness of the threat?

2. Will the NFC War Criminals ever be held accountable?

3. Will the Corruption of the Congress be stopped?

4. Can the Democratic Party lead the nation back to the governing path laid out by the founders?

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”
Thomas Jefferson

The answers are in serious doubt, as they have, until now offered only weak kneed opposition to the unmitigated criminality of the Bush regime. They have for instance, continued to argue; that they would do a better job than Bush in running the ruinous Iraqi occupation; when they should be demanding that the U.S./British/Italian occupation be ended; and that the Iraqization task be turned over to regional Muslim forces, under the political leadership of the UN.

To be as fair as possible, the Democratic Party politicians are not entirely at fault for this situation. The American people, until the 2006 elections, have under the spell of the NFC Right-Wingspin machine, and the loyal Christians who have fallen victim to the irrational hypnotism of their CNF Crusading leaders, have not understood the gravity of the problem, and have not demanded that the Democratic Party politicians either defend the principles and ideals of American Liberal-Democracy, or step aside.

In short they must: Lead-Follow-Or Get the Hell out of the Way!

The people must get involved now, if America is to be liberated!

David VanOs, who ran a strong, but unsuccessful campaign for the post of Texas Attorney General, is a self described Populist Democrat who has identified the basic problem with the Democratic Party strategy that has resulted in so many defeats at the polls;

“It is time to discard the "avoid polarization at all costs" strategy, the "take no risks" strategy, the "appeal to everybody" strategy, and the "chase the middle" strategy. It is time to remember what Jim Hightower told us 20 years ago, that "there's nothin' in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos." It is time to cease the followership strategies of scripting campaigns on the basis of what people thought yesterday in polls, and assert the leadership strategies of campaigning for what we know to be right based on our deepest convictions of what we want for tomorrow. It is time to stop worrying about whom we might offend if we speak truth to power, and start worrying about what value are our lives if we don't speak truth to power. It is time to cherish partisan Democrats and reject nonpartisan Nothingcrats. It is time to forget "right-left" analysis and install "right-wrong" analysis.

It is time to replace the "liberal-conservative" spectrum with the "liberty-tyranny" spectrum. It is time to stop worrying about how to get money from big donors and start worrying about how to get more money into working people's paychecks. It is time to fight for better lives for voters instead of peddle promises to voters.  It is time to treat public office as a duty, not a promotion. We must fight for the people, not in order to win their votes, but in order to win them justice.”
David VanOs

VanOs lost his bid for Attorney General, but he is the type of candidate we must find all over America, and the American people must quickly find a new way to organize themselves, such that the Democratic Party will have no choice but to represent the philosophy and principles of American Liberal-Democracy, which is the superior political governing system of modern civilization. Those Conservative-Democrats, such as Rep. Zell Miller, of Georgia, and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, and others in the DLC, who follow the same ideology of the NFC Republicans, are in the wrong party, and should join the other traitors that have left the Democratic Party.

Current Political history has taught us that it is a dangerous situation for one party to have a mixed spectrum of ideology; while the other Party is marching under the totalistic banner of the ideology of Fascism. The demise of the Social Democratic Party and the Weimar Republic is the best example of this truth.

What is urgently needed, and this book proposes; is a Second American Revolution to restore the core social and political culture of the American nation.

“America, will cease to resemble the country outlined in the Constitution of 1787 unless there is a "revolutionary rehabilitation of American Democracy.
Chalmers Johnson, Historian

Thoreau held that Governments, in practice, are always hostile to the people’s reformers.

On Reformers:

“Why does it always crucify Christ, and excommunicate Copernicus, and Luther, and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels?”
Henry David Thoreau

The legitimate reforms of the next revolution must harness the kind of genuine populist political action that resulted in the; Abolition of Slavery, Suffrage for Women, the breaking of the stranglehold of the Robber Baron Trusts, the Depression Age New Deal, the Black Civil Rights struggle, the Vietnam Anti-War Movement, and the vision of the Great Society.

“Never give in…never, never, never, never! Never yield in any way, great or small, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force and the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy…”
Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of England, 1941

The enemies of Liberal-Democracy have never gone away; they have again returned from the dark and slimy sewers of tyranny and oppression from which they come. Like the Fascists of 1930s Germany, they are riding on the backs of angry white middle class men, who have been convinced that their poor, black, female, and immigrant fellow Americans, and their liberal defenders are the cause of all of their economic and social misery. They are dead wrong!

On Democracy:

“The greatest massacre of all times has a name; Democracy. This word hides the voracity of Jewish Capitalism which, through the butchery of men and the ruin of Christian civilization, wants to carry out the scientific exploitation of the world.”
Benito Mussolini, October 14, 1944

The Neo-Fascists like their forefathers, are the eternal enemies of American Liberal-Democracy, and the people must be informed and persuaded of this reality.

The first Revolution was against the geographically distant, English King George, and his Royal Aristocratic Imperial-Conservative Parliament; which was tyrannizing and oppressing the people of the English colonies in America. In order to gain independence from this Imperial-Conservative and Dictatorial government it was necessary to revolt and to wage a violent war of Independence.

Today we are led by an ideologically distant Imperial George, who leads a no less tyrannical and oppressive Nationalist Neo-Fascist-Conservative dictatorial political Party; that has been abusing and oppressing the people of the U.S. and the world. In order to gain our Independence from this movement it is necessary to ignite a political revolution, which, thanks to the founders, can still be accomplished with the ballot box instead of the cartridge box.

The NFC ideology is foreign, corrupt, Un-American, and a menace to our society and the world.

The Democratic Party must support this People’s Political Revolution, or a new party will have to take its place.

The alternative is to live in a nation, and world, dominated and oppressed by a single party NFC Dictatorship, armed with the most powerful arsenal in world history, with no moral or ethical constraints.

Democracy and a Republic are Not Mutually Exclusive

Plato’s View on Democracy:

“Its probably the most gorgeous political system there is, its beauty comes from the fact that it is adorned with every aspect of human trait, as a cloak might be adorned with every species of flower.”
“The Republic” by Plato

At the conclusion of the Continental Congress, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin:

“Well doctor, do we have a Republic or a Monarchy?”
Franklin is reported to have replied; “A Republic—If we can keep it.”

The NFC Republicans are fond of asserting that the founders established the United States as a Republic. By this they mean an Aristocratic Oligarchy, ruled by an Elect ruling class, with as little involvement of the people as possible. This is absolutely dishonest. They know very well that the intellectually learned and astute founders were intimately familiar with all of benefits and the faults of the various forms of government that had existed throughout history. They wisely chose the Executive form of a Constitutional Republic, but one in which the people are sovereign, not a King, an Emperor, a Dictator, or an Aristocratic Ruling Class Oligarchy. They chose a Representative Liberal-Democracy in which the Executive is restrained by the representatives of the people, whose only purpose is to serve the people.

By choosing to give the people the power of frequently selecting their Representatives in Congress, and their President, they created a government which embraced the Liberal principles ofthe Enlightenment. Initially, the Constitution provided only that members of the House of Representatives and the head of the Executive branch would be elected at regular intervals by the people. The election of the Senate by popular vote was added later. The terms are not mutually exclusive; but the NFC Republicans would have us believe they are.

What Kind of Republic will we be:

“Sparta, Athens, Rome, and Carthage were all Republics; two of them, Athens and Carthage, of the Commercial kind. Yet were they as often engaged in wars, offensive and defensive, as the neighboring monarchies of the same times. Sparta was little better than a well regulated camp; and Rome was never sated of carnage and conquest.”
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers, No. 6

NFC politicians prefer the Sham type of Roman Republic of Caesar Augustus, and his despotic descendants; where all power is shared between an Oligarchial ruling class of Patricians or Aristocrats, and a strong Dictatorial Leader. The principal Government buildings in Washington DC, were built in the early 20th Century, when the Paleo-Fascist Conservatives were in power. They are all classic Greco-Roman architectural design, which would be fine if they were intended to pay tribute to the architectural influences of the western world; but far too many Conservative Movement politicians want to have the U.S. become the Roman Empire of the modern world.

“Roman history correctly conceived in extremely broad outlines is and remains the best mentor, not only for today, but probably for all time.”
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

Whether it was intentional or not, it is bizarre that in the people’s House, of all places, behind the Speaker’s Chair, are two large “Fasces” symbols, which were not removed, even in the era of 20th Century Fascism. The Fasces were a bundle of rods wrapped in leather thongs, with an Ax in the center. In ancient Rome, the Fasces symbolized the Roman Republic, bound together by Roman Law and enforced by the power of its Superpower Military (the Ax). Magistrates had bearers called Lictors who held the Fasces, whenever a Roman magistrate was rendering the lop-sided Justice of the Pax Romana.

Ironically, the Fasces name and symbol was adopted by the first Fascist state of Benito Mussolini. It seems a strange symbol to be positioned at the head of the chamber where the people’s Representatives make the laws for a Liberal- Democratic and Constitutional Republic, of, by, and for the people.

What is the Heritage of American Liberal-Democracy?

“Who fought to free the slaves? Liberals. Who succeeded in abolishing the Poll Tax? Liberals. Who fought for women’s rights, civil rights, free public education? Liberals. Who stood guard and still stands guard against sweatshops, child labor, racism, bigotry? Lovers of Freedom ands enemies of tyranny; Liberals.”
Leonard Bernstein, October 30, 1988

It is important for every American who wishes to defend Liberty, Freedom, and Democracy, to develop a working knowledge of a few fundamental facts about political ideologies, their origins, and their principles, and practices in the real world. This section is largely drawn from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, with some editorializing by the author. It is devoted to briefly explain the history of American Liberal-Democracy, which has an honorable heritage, evolved from 2500 years of Western Civilization. Our American Liberal Democratic system of government incorporates the principles of; ancient Greek Philosophy, the Scientific Movement, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment or Age of Reason, and the political governing practices of our uniquely American experiment.

“The presidents we admire and celebrate most… were all in the context of their times vigorous and unashamed Liberals. They were pioneers on a new frontier, seeking out the ways of the future, meeting new problems with new remedies, carrying the message of constructive change in a world that never stops changing. From the start of the Republic, Liberalism has always blazed the trail into the future----and conservatism has always deployed all the weapons of caricature and calumny and irrelevance to conceal the historic conservatism objective of unchecked rule by those who already have far more than their share of the nation’s treasure.”
Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., October 21, 1988

Philosophy-The Search for Wisdom

Philosophy is an English word that is derived from the Greek word “Philosophia”, which means the love of or pursuit of wisdom. According to the Greek philosophers, wisdom included not only wide knowledge, but also sound judgement, or the pursuit of mental excellence. In the 5th century B.C., moral and practical problems were explored by Socrates and the Sophists. Logic and the theory of knowledge date to this time. In time, Philosophy became the genesis of all future fields of human knowledge in the west.

The great Mathematician Pythagoras, is said to have been the first to call himself a philosopher (philosophos). During the second half of the 5th century, in Athens, philosophical debate turned from natural science and cosmology toward human affairs and practical problems of society. In the 1st century A.D., the great Roman philosopher Cicero; said that Socrates had taken philosophy down from heaven to earth, introduced it into the cities and houses, and made it inquire into manners and morals.

By the end of the 5th Century B.C.; Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, and Music had been recognized and classified as distinct fields of study, grouped together in what became the ancient world’s curriculum of Liberal Arts; later taught at the Greek schools at Constantinople, Athens, and Alexandria. Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato laid the foundations of many fields of knowledge, in the arts and sciences; later taught in the medieval universities. The seven Liberal Arts included; “The Trivium” (Grammar, Rhetoric, and Logic) and the Quadrivium (Geometry, Arithmetic, Music, and Astronomy)

By the 13th century, competition between theology and philosophy, between faith and reason, had already become a burning issue. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) attempted to produce a comprehensive philosophical doctrine, based on the conviction that orthodoxy and reason; Aristotelian philosophy (or science) on the one hand, and Scripture (or faith) on the other, are not in disagreement.

By the 17th century, three major cultural upheavals had resulted in an immediate effect on philosophy; the Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation, and the Scientific Movement. The science movement was led by such giants as Copernicus (1473-1543), Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Galileo (1564-1642, Johannes Keppler (1571-1630), Thomas Hobbs (1588-1679), and Descartes (1596-1650).

These pioneers in Science and Philosophy indirectly and sometimes unintentionally, challenged the Old Order of the conservative Catholic Church, in theological assertions about the universe; but Martin Luther (1483-1546) and John Calvin (1509-1564) challenged the Church directly, on the basis of its conduct; facilitating its loss of control over religious orthodoxy as well as scientific dogma.

The Scientific Movement exercised a powerful and direct influence over philosophical thought. Mathematician Isaac Newton (1642-1727) proved the law of universal gravitation that explained the workings of the material universe. It now became necessary for thinking men to ask what were the implications of the new discoveries about nature and the cosmos, and to what extent they could be reconciled with existing, primarily Bible based beliefs, in all other matters. This separated Science and Religious superstition forever.

A new method of philosophy was introduced in the 18th Century, by John Locke (1632-1704) Locke shared many of the rationalistic outlooks of the other 17th century philosophers, but Locke’s “Historical, Plain Method” established a clear distinction between the philosopher and the scientist, hitherto one in the same.

The great geniuses of the 17th century, had confirmed a universe of calculable regularity, and by rigorous mathematical reasoning and logic, offered a means independent of God’s revelation, of discovering knowledge and establishing truth.

The Enlightenment-Search for Knowledge and Reason

The most striking feature of the 18th century period called the Enlightenment, or The Age Of Reason; was the way in which traditional Christian religious beliefs lost their hold over men’s minds, and gave way to a different creed. Emphasis was everywhere laid on the need for tangible evidence, and for clarity of thought in a way that was hostile to anything based on; faith, metaphysics, mystical thinking, or superstition. Science, which had already successfully explained the wonders of nature, was encouraged to discover new truths in the field of human affairs, including government and man. In the 17th and 18th century this movement of thought and reason, developed new interrelated concepts of God, Man, Nature, and Reason to which there was wide acceptance in Europe. Its dominant idea was that right reasoning could find true knowledge.

Thomas Paine’s “Age of Reason” published in 1754, gave a description of “Natural Law”. John Locke in his book, “Analogy” established “Reason” as the judge of the truth of things, and his essay “Concerning Human Understanding” was a study of the origins of ideas, and the shaping power of environment on man.

The intellectual freedom of the Enlightenment became; critical, reforming, and eventually revolutionary; hacking away the shackles which for centuries had crippled the human mind, and kept humanity locked in the ignorance of the dark ages. The most ominous power standing in the way of humanity was declared to be the Sovereign State, which demanded the loyalty, and far too often, the blood of its people. Voltaire, Johnson, and Goethe deplored the irrationality of the patriotic prejudice. War was viewed as the great enemy of civilization and men of the Enlightenment deplored it passionately.

The great thinkers of the Enlightenment analyzed the nature of the individual, the state, and the socio-political contract between them. Locke’s “Two Treatises of Government” provided common sense and moral appeal when it claimed the revolutionary idea that “government was derived from the consent of the members of the state” Prior to this time people were considered only property or “subjects” of the Royal Monarchists. The inviolability of personal Liberty and Private Property became cherished concepts prejudicial to the Old feudal and Monarchial Order. 

Voltaire and Rousseau rounded out rationalist thought with a theory of “Political Democracy” Voltaire held the belief in the general progress of mankind if reason came into regular political usage. 

These great minds of the times heavily influenced the liberally educated American founders, including; Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and many others. In 1776, in the New World, Thomas Jefferson incorporated the ideas of the enlightenment, including Locke’s work into the Declaration of Independence.

Liberalism–Search for Human Freedom

Defined as the creed, philosophy, and movement which is committed to “Freedom” as a method and policy in government, an organizing principle in society, and as a way of life for the individual and the community. Liberalism’s central idea of Freedom became the great seminal revolutionary idea of world history. The way of Liberalism had actually been laid by Christianity, which stated that man was endowed by the creator with“ dignity” as an individual, and by the Protestant Reformation, which stressed the role of individual private judgement, even in religious matters. Liberals believe that all people know what is best for themselves, they are responsible for themselves, and should be allowed a very large measure of self-determination. Being left alone, uncoerced is the true meaning of Freedom. People value Freedom so highly because Freedom symbolizes life without a master. Freedom depends on each person’s willingness to respect other’s rights and to refrain from forcibly intruding into other’s lives

Liberty is a result of the minimization of coercion, both by government and private entities. The more coercion; the less Liberty. The NFC Republicans have demonstrated that they are always ready to; enforce, coerce, prohibit, penalize and command our public and private conduct.

“The utmost Liberty to the individual, and the fullest possible protection to him and his property, is both the limitation and the duty of government.”
Supreme Court, 1892

In the early phases of modern Europe, 17th century thinkers such as Descartes, Milton, and Spinoza, served as the conduits through which liberal thought came into European society. Descartes shaped the instrument of Rationalism, Spinoza established the link between Reason, and the values of the emerging liberal outlook, and Milton assaulted the repressive state and religious censorship, which prevented man from access to the truth.

Liberalism grew from these advances in knowledge and thought, which converged in the Age of Reason, producing great European voices like; Voltaire, Locke, Goethe, Rousseau, Hume, Kant, Diderot, Lessing, Adam Smith, Vico, Condorcet, and Montesquieu. Their effect was to radically change the intellectual and cultural nature of society, and to challenge the feudal Monarchial, Aristocratic, and Clerical Institutions of the Old Order in Europe.

The golden age of Liberalism may be dated roughly between 1750 and 1914, the start of WWI. In its history as an ideology; Liberalism is closely linked with the idea of Liberty, and of Liberation, since the idea is to aim at freeing the individual from constraints on his mind and body, thereby expressing and fulfilling the human spirit. The concept of Liberty is central to the whole ideology of Liberalism; maximizing the individual’s freedom to think, to believe, to express and discuss his views, to organize (associate) in parties, to find employment, to buy and sell commodities (including his own labor) freely, and to keep the rewards, to choose his rulers as well as his form of government, and to change both by revolution if necessary.

“He who lets his world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the Ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties.”
John Stuart Mill, (1806-1873) Liberal British Philosopher and Economist

Newton and the other early scientists of the Scientific Movement showed that the operation of the Universe could be explained rationally in terms of the laws of nature, without bringing in any external divine intervention. As a result God became Nature’s God, and religion was universalized into Deism, thus diluting the rigors of religious sectarian certitude, and emphasizing tolerance toward the forms in which Nature’s Godmight be worshipped.

Thomas Jefferson used the phrase “The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” in the Declaration of Independence. Since man had rights in nature, governments must protect these rights, and the people must defend them, even against the government. The Bill of Rights, Petitions of Right, and Declarations of the Rights of Man, became the new commandments of the era.

Armed with the weapons of; logic, empirical systems of evidence, mathematical proofs, and dialectic reasoning; Liberalism gained wide acceptance in Europe and America. It was a basic assumption of the liberal thinkers; that man is endowed with reason and goodness, and that it is only the institutional frame into which he is born that corrupts and enslaves him. The enemy was; custom, tradition, institution, and social habit. The French philosopher Rousseau wrote that;

“Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains.”
Jean Jacques Rousseau

The French philosophers, the English Utilitarians (the Greatest good for the greatest number), the Italian Patriot-Intellectuals were the angry young men of their time, blasting away at the establishment of their day; the Feudal Order, the Aristocratic Class, the Dynastic state, the religious controlled Educational system, and censorship. They all sought to lift from men, what Jefferson called “The Dead Hand of the Past”

The principles of Liberalismare widely recognized and followed in most western nations, with different forms of governments, including; Constitutional Monarchies, Parliamentary systems, and Representative Democracies, in which, those who have governmental authority, get and retain authority directly or indirectly as the result of winning free elections in which all adult citizens are allowed to participate.

These modern systems of government were heavily influenced by the 17th and 18th century ideology of Liberalism and it is reflected in the values contained in the Constitutions of Europe and the U.S. These values include; Popular Consent, Individualism, Equality of Opportunity, Personal Liberty, Free and Fair elections, Majority rule with protection of minorities, Freedom of expression, the right to assemble and protest, separation of powers, a system of checks and balances to constrain the national government’s power, and protection of  personal civil and human rights and liberties.

American Liberal-Democracy-Search For Liberty and Social Justice

American Liberal-Democracy is the uniquely “American Experiment” in Liberal-Democracy, a political ideology that has, throughout the past two hundred plus years, provided the American people with progress, freedom, prosperity, and social justice. It has lasted longer than any other Democracy, because it rests on the solid principles of Liberalism.

“The contest, for ages, has been to rescue Liberty from the grasp of Executive power.”
Senator Daniel Webster, May 27, 1834

Liberty became the central theme of American Liberal-Democracy. Liberty as the founders expressed it, was not simply the absence of external restraint on a person, it is the individual’s freedom to act positively to reach his or her goals.

The American system established by the founders, absorbed many of the extreme revolutionary movements which sought to overthrow the ruling classes by violence; as occurred in France and Russia, and provided a moderate approach to individual and community harmony in the modern world.

The obstacles that faced the development of Liberal-Democracy in Europe were largely absent in the U.S. There was no Feudal Order to overthrow, no encrusted traditions, no entrenched landowning Aristocracy or Monarchy, and no oppressive burden of state sponsored clericalism. Once independence from the British Monarchy was accomplished, the U.S. became the best example of a Liberal-Democratic Republic that man had ever created. Liberalism flourished under the administrations of men like; Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson.

For most of its history, the U.S. has struggled between the forces in society of Old World conservatism and New World Liberalism:

“When the war of Independence came to an end and a new government had to be established, the nation was divided between two opinions. Those opinions were as old as the world itself and are found under different forms and with various names in all free societies. One party wanted to restrict popular power and the other to extend it indefinitely.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, “Democracy in America”

 In the United States, the Democratic Party has traditionally been centrist and moderate, standing between the radical Conservatives on the right and the radical Socialists on the left. To be a moderate, means to intervene in disputes by opposing parties and help achieve some sort of consensus. Moderate or traditional-Republicans had occasionally broken with their party's platform on some issues (like abortion, for instance) and sided with Democrats, as some Democrats have sided with Republicans (on military funding, for example). Democrats who frequently side with Republicans are rarely called moderates; rather, they're often known as "conservative-Democrats," but in the past thirty years the Republican Party has been dominated by an increasingly radical Ultra-Conservative Right Wing movement.

These Ultra-Conservatives are now called Neo-Conservatives, but they have in fact descended into an Un-American Neo-Fascism.

During these past 230 years, Liberal-Democracy advocates have been responsible for all of the major advances in the liberties, rights, entitlements, and welfare of the American people, including; ending slavery, ending child labor, legalizing labor movements which have obtained safer working conditions and fair and livable wages for workers, free public education, expanding civil and human rights, old age and survivor benefits of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and a host of similar minimum requirements of a free and fair society.

In the 20th century, American Liberal-Democracy succeeded, under the difficult upheavals of the Industrial age, to carry out a program of democratic government and free market capitalism, as an alternative to the various forms of Totalitarianism including; Socialism and Communism on the left, and Conservatism and Fascism on the right.

“…and that is why this type of Democracy has become the instrument of that race, which in its inner goals, must shun the light of day now and in all ages of the future. Only a Jew can praise an institution which is as dirty and false as he himself.”
Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

By 1930, the Conservative Republican President Hoover’s America was lurching into an economic collapse of near-medieval proportions. From 1930 to 1933, national income dove from $81 Billion to $39 Billion. In 1932, 273,000 families were evicted from their homes. The hide bound conservative Hoover urged caution and only supported private relief efforts. Incapable of dealing with the crisis because of his ideology, he became the most hated man in America. In the last days of his presidency, thirteen millionpeople were unemployed, one million roamed the country in railroad boxcars, food riots were breaking out, as relief stations ran out of cash, banks were closed or suspended in twenty-three states, and the New York Stock Exchange was shut down. The Conservative movement that had ruled the country for decades proved incapable of common sense solutions to the fundamental needs of governing in a crisis.

“A Liberal is a person who uses his legs and his hands in the service of his head. A Conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs, who however, has never learned to walk forward.”
President Franklin Roosevelt

The period of the great depression, and the election of FDR and his “New Deal” policies, saw the greatest expansion of American Liberal-Democratic Social Justice, planting this ideology squarely in the middle of the political spectrum, between the extreme ideologies of the totalitarian dictatorships and defusing anarchist chaos.

Franklin Roosevelt’s Economic Bill of Rights:

"The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation
The right of every family to a decent home
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident and unemployment
And the right to a good education."

Liberal-Democrats are Progressive, meaning they generally believe in the possibility of progress. They believe things can be made to work for the benefit of the people, that the future will be better, that obstacles can be overcome.

Liberal-Democrats contend that the character of the modern capitalist economy; and the side effects of industrialization, technology, Globalism, and corporate abuses, require government intervention and regulation of Corporate power. Liberal democrats have traditionally advocated programs to protect; minorities, the poor, the weak, the old, the worker, and the economically displaced; butConservatives always advocate in the interest of the super-rich and the ruling class, and act on the maxim;

“Let the government take care of the rich, and the rich will take care of the poor”

Liberal Democrats prefer that government take care of the weak, for the strong can always take care of themselves!!

In the last 30 years of the 20th century, American Liberal-Democracy began to face its greatest challenge, from its historical opponent, the conservative anti-liberal reactionary radicalism of the right, which excludes any middle-ground in matters of domestic and foreign policy. This radicalism is as dangerous as the original threat from Fascism in the 1930s.

The wise fundamental liberal values of humanity, reason, and moderation are still valid. The American people deserve a form of government that will provide for a Peaceful Foreign Policy, adequate National Defense, minimum necessary Domestic Security, and Economic and Social Justice for all, in a free, fair, and Progressive society.

Survival of our system of government and our culture, will require a nationwide Political Revolution against the NFC ideology, and a Renaissance of the genuine values and principles of; Liberty, Freedom and Justice. We must return our country to an American Liberal-Democratic Government that is actually of, by, and for the people. We don’t have to start from scratch, the ideological philosophy, is already contained in the history of western civilization, since the 17th Century. We just have to relearn its basic truths and defend them, against their age old enemies.

The NFC Republicans and their ideological ancestors have always been the reactionary party, and protectors of the elite Aristocratic ruling classes of society. History also shows a tendency of Conservatives toward becoming, or joining with Authoritarian and Totalitarian regimes, and abusing their power against the people.

Rebuilding The People’s House—Equal Representation For All

Bush has been telling us that we must export our Democracy to those ignorant people in the Third World that are unable to enjoy the blessings of Democracy American style; because we Americans live in the oldest and most Democratic Republic in the West—right? ---Wrong!!

Representation is the first and most important principal of a Representative Democracy and the very definition of a Republic. The House of Representatives is called the People’s House, because in the Constitution it was to be the only branch of government to be popularly elected, directly by the people. Senators were initially appointed by the State legislatures (until that was amended by the 17th Amendment in 1913), and the President still is elected by Electors, appointed by the state legislatures. (That is how G.W. Bush was elected in 2000, even though he did not win the National popular vote).

As finally adopted; the U.S. Constitution provided that the size of the People’s House was to be based on onerepresentative for every 30,000 people. A constitutional provision was made that;

“the actual enumeration” of the House “shall be made…within every subsequent term of ten years…”

Madison, in the Federalist Papers was more specific “…within every successive period of ten years, the Census is to be renewed and augmentations are to be made.”

The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives can have no less than 50 members one for each state) and based on the 2000 Census, if they were to follow the Constitution, no more than 9,381 Representatives would be seated. (based on one for every 30,000 people) This number would be unmanageable, but the People’s House is in desperate need of augmentation.

For the first 130 years of the Republic Congress never failed to execute this important responsibility, adding about 40 members per decade. In 1820 the House members increased the Representation to 45,000 to one. By 1910, a Paleo-conservative Congress decided that 435 Representatives for a population of 92 million people was enough! In 1920 the House dominated by the Republican Party, refused to reapportion the existing seats by a vote of 276-77, with the result that the Congressional districts for all elections between 1912 and 1930 were exactly the same, regardless of the huge shifts in population from rural to urban areas.

Later the Conservative Republican Congress passed the “Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929”, which was signed into law by that great democratic leader Herbert Hoover. The act froze the number of Representatives (435) and apportioned them among the states, on the basis of the census; and over a Century of constitutional law and tradition was summarily changed without a vote of the people. The battle to limit the size of the People’s House was not just a fight between rural and urban areas; it was a fight between the current citizens and the masses of immigrants that were also crowding into the big cities, where they could find employment. The long awaited redistricting of the 1932 election was a major factor in the overwhelming victory of Franklin Roosevelt.

In 2000 our representation was 646,947 to one. This is an astoundingly Un-Democratic situation that is never discussed in elections!

Among the other major Western Republics the representation ratio is much more democratic. In Great Britain the ratio is 90,000 to one, and in Germany it is 136,000 to one. In Russia it is 326,000 to one and even in the People’s Republic of China it is 415,000 to one; neither of which are considered democracies by Free World standards.

We now have a population of 300 million and we are still represented by only 435 Members of Congress. The effects of this Oligarchial system was evident in the 2004 election, when only three House seats changed hands, the smallest turnover in history. With such large ratios, individual Congressional representatives have greater difficulty maintaining any sort of meaningful communication with their constituents; causing them to rely on Special Interest groups; and running for office has only become possible if a candidate is independently wealthy or as is more often the case, they are bankrolled by Corporate Special Interests.

For American Democracy to survive there is an urgent need to increase the number of seats in the House to a ratio of no more than 250,000 to one, and this should be an issue in the next Presidential election. More seats would provide for more representation in the high density cities and would serve to stop gerrymandering such as was conducted by the DeLay forces in Texas in 2004.

The NFC Republicans will fight to maintain the present Un-Democratic scheme, as new seats would inevitably benefit minorities and urban areas, and reduce the power of more conservative suburban and rural areas.

The Democratic Party has failed to challenge the system, and demand more Representation in the People’s House” which is becoming more like a lower House of Lords! 

The Universal Democracy Initiative

In September of 2005, the NFC Republican Congress was placed into a very uncomfortable spotlight. On July 25, 2005, the New York Sun reported that;

Tucked inside the House version of a bill that authorizes spending on foreign aid is the language of what is known as the ADVANCE Democracy Act. The act instructs American ambassadors and embassy staffs to draw up democracy transition plans for unfree regimes, with input from nonviolent opposition movements in the various countries. While Congress has passed laws that require America to work with democratic opposition groups for specific countries - such as the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act - never before has it considered a law that would, as ADVANCE proposes, "commit United States foreign policy to the challenge of achieving Universal Democracy."

A sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Tom Lantos, a Democrat of California, predicted that in the Senate the bill, sponsored there by Senator McCain, a Republican of Arizona, and Senator Lieberman, a Democrat of Connecticut, would not be opposed. "I don't think there will be any opposition in the Senate," he told The New York Sun.

The bill would allow the State Department to "use all instruments of United States influence to support, promote, and strengthen democratic principles, practices, and values in foreign countries." It charges the CIA and Treasury Department with tracking the personal assets of dictators and their associates.

ADVANCE would require the secretary of state to approve an annual report designating nations as either democratic, undemocratic, or in transition. Currently, Foggy Bottom does not make such formal distinctions, though a human rights group created by Congress, the Freedom House, does, ranking countries around the world as "free," partly free," and "not free."

"The overall vision of this law is that we should take the bipartisan goal of a dictator-free world and institutionalize that in our diplomacy and foreign policy," he said. Mr. Palmer added, "One of the most important things in the bill is that it provides for the beginning of a dialogue between democratic forces and our embassies in nondemocratic countries." When asked whether he believed there should be an exception for China, which has often been excluded from pro-democracy policies in the past, he said, "No, I don't think there should be any exceptions."

Lantos cleverly challenged the NFC Republicans to put their actions where their words were, and this presented a major problem to the Nationalist-Conservatives which have cozied up to some of the most Un-Democratic and tyrannical regimes in the world. The NFC Republicans slow rolled the Bill to death.

Another question , assuming that there will be some standards to evaluate  governments, with a Democracy report card; where would an NFC Republican United States rank, in a current listing of most and least Democratic Governments in the world?

The Democratic Party has the makings of a Perfect Storm issue for the next Presidential elections, unless the Democratic Party leadership doesn’t follow thru.

SHORT TERM EMERGENCY SURVIVAL MEASURES

“whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends  (that is, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) it is the right of the people to alter it or abolish it.”
The Declaration of Independence, 1776

Urgent Action Needed For 2008 Election

The voters sent a loud and clear message to the NFC Republicans in the 2006 Mid-Term elections, demanding an end to the Iraq War, and accountability for the pervasive corruption of a party that had held absolute power in Congress for 12 years.

Within days of the election, the NFC spin machine was claiming that the vote was “shallow” and did not demand an end to the War; all it did was express the frustration of the American people, who wanted to gain “VICTORY” in Iraq!

Of course Victory as they view is abject surrender of the people of Iraq to the conqueror and that will never be achieved.

The NFC Republicans actually gained more power in the Republican Party, as most of those defeated were moderates. The NFC Republicans will not change their stripes; they will primarily retry using false populism, to regain control in the next election. It is important that all Americans be warned to VOTE against them in the 2008 Elections, if they want to live in a Free Society instead of a totalitarian Neo-Fascist Dictatorship. 

The 2008 elections are crucial to our survival as a People’s Republic. It is vital that the Democratic Party retain control of the United States House and Senate, and take control of the White House for at least two terms, so that all of the unconstitutional actions of the past eight years can be reversed.

“Congress shall immediately upon our inauguration, initiate amendments to the Constitution providing (a) that the President shall have the authority to institute and execute all necessary measures for the conduct of the government during this critical epoch; (b), that Congress shall serve only in an advisory capacity, calling to the attention of the President and his aides and Cabinet any needed legislation, but not acting upon same until authorized by the President so to act; and (c), that the Supreme Court shall immediately have removed from its jurisdiction the power to negate, by ruling them to be unconstitutional or by any other judicial action, any or all acts of the President, his duly appointed aides, or Congress.”
“It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis, 1935

The Conventional wisdom of the Democratic Party Consultocrats was to target and spend resources to defeat moderate Republicans that were in mixed swing states. This strategy could ultimately be self defeating. The few moderate and traditional-conservative Republicans, such as Sen. Chuck Hagel, are preferable to NFC Republicans, and it is more important to target those extreme Representatives and Senators that represent the worst record of aggressive foreign policies, support of torture, sellout to the Special Corporate Interests, and those with any taint of corruption. In 2008 it will be time to go after the most extreme of the NFC Republican Senators. Their records of un-American behavior can be successfully challenged. The Campaign issues are contained in this book.

A unified Universal Liberal-Democracy Alliance should mount a massive and unprecedented Public Diplomacy program consisting of; mass communication and on-the ground volunteer Liberty Squads (each squad consisting of one each representative of; Labor, Women, Black, Latino, Poor, Mothers of slain Iraqi War Soldiers, Veterans, Social Security Recipients, etc., and their leader should be selected by the group. These grassroots Squads would follow the record of these extremists, and hold rallies and press conferences to voice their objections to the NFCcandidate, from the perspective of their unique issues. They should be selected from inside the state, given training on the fundamentals of: Comparative Ideologies, public speaking and the issues described in this book.

Members of the Liberty Squad from the Senator’s home state must also be certified to register voters. We need literally thousands of such volunteers to take the training and become vocal advocates of Liberal-Democracy.

It is urgent that we work to turn out every freedom loving man and woman in America, to defend themselves against the NFC Republican threat. Apathetic Americans, who appear to have no interest in politics; or who believe that there is little difference between the two major parties; must be persuaded to join the fight. In the mid-term elections of 2006, only 39.7% of the eligible population voted in the House races. The early results were;
-74 million citizens voted, out of a population of 300 Million
-51.88% voted for the Democratic candidates
-45.75% voted for the Republicans
(several House races were still undecided and would require runoffs and vote recounts)

The Democratic Party, weak as it has been; has traditionally responded to the public’s appeals and opinions (albeit frequently late) but the NFC Republicans, are actually proud to proclaim that they ignore polls, and the appeals of the people. The Bush regime is notorious for ignoring Public Opinion and the appeals of practically every professional group that has condemned the Iraq war, the continuing War of Occupation, the casualties, the torture policies, the loss of liberties, and the people’s widespread opposition to his domestic policies. Minority and poor members of the electorate, that have suffered the most from these policies, have continually failed to vote in large percentages. This must be corrected!

American history confirms that all Conservative Republican regimes have been adamant and stubborn in their governance; such as Herbert Hoover who was totally insensitive to the great suffering in depression era America. They characteristically do not respond to the people; preferring to take their advice from the leaders of the Corporate, Religious, Financial, and other Conservative elites; that are primarily interested in preserving the Special Interests of the Super-rich and powerful.

They were as isolated and oblivious to the opinions and pleas of the American people in 2006, as was the despotic King George, in 1776.

 In the 2004 Presidential election, only 48% of eligible voters came to the polls. This is the major cause of the gradual loss of our precious Liberties. In the small country of Italy, for comparison, 93% of the electorate voted in the previous national election! (Unfortunately too many of them voted the wrong way, and they paid the price under the Neo-Fascist Berlusconi Regime)

“Just because you don’t take an interest in Politics, doesn’t mean Politics won’t take an interest in you.”
Pericles, 430 BC

For the survival of Liberty, Freedom and Democracy throughout the shrinking world, the American people, citizens of the most militarily powerful nation in history, must re-embrace the wise fundamental democratic secular governing principles of the U.S. Constitution, and be born again in a Universal Liberal-Democratic Faith, and in a religious Interfaith Alliance of respect for people of all faiths, embracing the redemptory teachings of Jesus the Christ, Buddha, and other great and gentle moral teachers.

“If the persons entrusted with power become usurpers. The Citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource, except in their courage and despair. The Usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo.”
Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist Papers, No. 28

First however, survival of Liberty, demands we throw the NFC Republican, War Criminals and Anti-Christs, out of the White House. That will require a massive organizing effort to inform, activate, and motivate all Americans to the serious threat we face, if the NFC Republicans and their fanatical CNF Crusader partners regain absolute control of the U.S. Government in 2008.

Aristocratic Power Seekers:

“While power is in the hands of the people, or democratic part of the community, more especially as at present, it is easy, according to the general course of human affairs, for the few influential men in the community to obtain conventions, alterations in government, and to persuade the common people that they may change for the better, and to get from them a part of the power…the government in this case being beneficial to the few… you may discover in all the actions of these men an evident dislike to free and equal government, and they will go systematically to work to change, essentially, the forms of government in this country—these are called Aristocrats.”
 Richard Henry Lee, October, 1787

Defend the Jewel of Liberty:

“Is the relinquishment of trial by jury, and the Liberty of the press necessary for your Liberty? Will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your Liberty? Liberty, the greatest of all earthly blessings—give us that precious jewel, and you may take everything else…Guard with jealous attention the public Liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.”
Patrick Henry, June 5, 1788

Liberal-Democracy is the political art which constrains government to insure the protection of the precious Liberties of the people. The words Liberty and Liberal come from the same latin root, and must always be used together with Democracy, to describe the political ideology of the Enlightenment, that evolved from the greatest political philosophers of the 17th thru the 19th Century, in England, France, and America. It was the political religion of most of the Aristocratic founders of the United States of America.

Good Advice from the Father of Our Country

“As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of Justice and Liberality.”
President George Washington

After 30 years of name-calling, the NFC Republicans have finally succeeded in separating the word which describes the philosophy of Liberalism, from the word which describes Government of, by, and for the people. This was a calculated and deliberate tactic of divide and conquer, which has become a hallmark of the NFC movement. They knew that no American would willingly follow a party that openly expressed contempt for Democracy, so by attacking Liberals, they forced the Democratic Party to divide itself into Liberal and Conservative camps; while they have become lock-step Neo-Fascist-Conservatives.

“The history of Liberty is a history of resistance. The history of Liberty is a history of the limitation of government power, not the increase of it.”
President Woodrow Wilson, September 9, 1912

They have been so sucessful in vilifying the political name Liberal, that now almost all Democratic Politicians go to great lengths to prove that they are not Liberal.

During the Democratic Presidential primaries in 2004, none of the Candidates admitted to having a Liberal voting record. In recent years, the Democrats and their base have been so intimidated by these tactics, they have taken to calling themselves Progressives or Populists. Courageous Liberal- Democratic leaders like Senator Kennedy and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have understood this and stood their ground.

“But if by ‘Liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people…. If that is what they mean by ‘Liberal’ then I’m damn proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
President John F. Kennedy

The Progressive era was essentially a period when the politicians responded to the majority of American merchants who were united against the excesses of the Monopolistic Financial Trusts. The Progressives had no loyalty to the honorable political philosophy of Liberal-Democracy, or the people, thus calling Liberal Democrats Progressives is a historical mistake, and a copout. There was no group of Progressive or Populist thinkers that inspired the Enlightenment. The leaders of the Democratic Party, particularly the DLC, have failed to understand that by allowing the Neo-Fascists to demonize the name Liberal, they have fallen into their cynical trap, and permitted the desecration of the honorable ancient historical ideology of the Enlightenment.

“Justice and Liberty! Those are the words that have got to ring like a bugle across the world.”
George Orwell, “The Road To Wigan,” 1937

We are the beneficiaries of the historic struggles of mankind for Justice and Liberty, especially the British, American and French revolutions, for which so many people suffered and died to free themselves from the chains of the Conservative Aristocratic ruling classes of; Kings, Emperors, tyrants, priests, and dictators, which had dominated mankind since the dawn of history. If we don’t defend the principles of American Liberal-Democracy, now when they are under renewed attack in the U.S., they will be lost to the world forever.

“I know not what course others may take; but as for me give me Liberty, or give me death.”
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

Therefore, one of the first actions that must be taken is, to proudly rehabilitate the political ideology and the institution of American Liberal-Democracy. This, among other measures, will require an educational program to increase understanding of the great blessings of living in a country blessed with Liberty and governed by the principles of Liberal-Democracy. The Principles of Liberal-Democracy must be understood, published and taught to every man, woman, and child living in this country. It is not necessary to become a politician or a Political Scientist. We must only learn the most fundamental principles of Liberal-Democracy and its heritage, and to teach the people to respect them, if we are to confront the evils of Conservative tyranny, and to insure that our children live in a free Society in the future.

“Proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all of the inhabitants thereof.”
The King James Bible, Leviticus 25:10, Inscribed around the Liberty Bell

Discredit the False Prophets of Extreme Neo-Fascist Conservatism

“The two parties which divide the state, the party of Conservatism and that of innovation, are very old, and have disputed the possession of the world ever since it was made.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1841

Having been a moderate traditional-conservative Republican for 30 years, the author has an insiders insight into the NFC Republican agenda, philosophy and Ideology, that has evolved over the past 40 years. The scales finally dropped from my eyes after the witchhunt that took place during the Presidency of Bill Clinton. I have never fully supported Clinton or Gore, because I despised their DLCConservative Light approach to governing; while quietly-claiming to embrace American Liberal-Democracy.

Nothing demonstrates this better than the fact that before leaving office, President Clinton granted pardons to very wealthy donors, when he could have struck a meaningful blow for Liberty; by pardoning all of the thousands of poor white, black, and latino prisoners, serving unjustified long sentences in Federal prisons for mere possession of crack cocaine, and Marijuana.

Make no mistake, the Clinton administration was light years better than the current regime; but the results of the last two elections should by now have proven to all supporters of American Liberal-Democracy, that the DLC dominated Democratic Party, which has a good heart, needs political brain surgery to re-establish its priorities .

First and foremost is the need to confront the NeworNeo-Conservatism currently embraced by the rulers of the NFC Republican Party, which has moved far to the right of even the most radical of all previous Conservative political leaders.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice" and "moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
Barry Goldwater

On October 23, 2005 Eric Alterman wrote about the Liberal dilemma. These are some excerpts and paraphrases based on his article;

Here is the liberals' problem in a nutshell: More than 30 percent of Americans happily answer to the appellation "conservative," while 18 percent call themselves "liberal." And yet when questioned by pollsters, a super-majority of more than 60 percent take positions liberal, in everything but name. Indeed, on many if not most issues, Americans hold views well to the left of those espoused by almost any national Democratic politician.

In a May 2005 survey published by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, 65 percent of respondents said they favor providing health insurance to all Americans, even if it means raising taxes, and 86 percent said they favor raising the minimum wage. Seventy-seven percent said they believe the country "should do whatever it takes to protect the environment.''

A September 2005 Gallup Poll found that 59 percent considered the Iraq War a mistake and 63 percent agreed that US forces should be partially or completely withdrawn. This demonstrates the power of the NFC propaganda which defiled the name “Liberal”

Nevertheless, extremist right-wingers, including a few indicted and confessed criminals, enjoy a stranglehold on our political dialogue and media discourse. And so the majority views of the American people are treated with contempt by pundits and politicians alike. Because right-wingers have been so adept at controlling the political discourse, they have succeeded in moving the Democrats rightward too. 

Even Conservative observers admit that the conservative media had "cohered to form a dazzlingly efficient ideology delivery system that swamped liberal efforts to get their ideas out." In fact, all that was necessary to discredit an individual or an idea in the poisoned atmosphere of the past twelve years, was to apply the label "liberal," which conservatives equate with "treason," "slander" and "treachery" (Ann Coulter); "idiocy" (Mona

Charen); "Communism" (David Horowitz); inspiration for “child murder” (Newt Gingrich); “Islamic terrorism”  (Andrew Sullivan, Christopher Hitchens, Horowitz again); and “priestly pedophilia” (Rick Santorum)

Mafia-like manipulation of the levers of power in the House, Senate and White House, frustrated the Democratic opposition, and cut off their sources of financial support. The network of Corporate and Clerical Power Brokers, like DeLay, Grover Norquist and countless think tanks, media moguls, funders and lobbyists work together to game the system at a level that was either too complicated or too boring to attract intelligent scrutiny.

With many leading Republicans are now serving hard jail time and a lame duck president, providence has given liberals an opportunity pregnant with possibility. Americans already share our values and no longer remain enthralled with the linguistic terror tactics of right-wing propagandists. What we need now is a liberal language to help people connect needs and desires to  liberal vision.

The language and vision are already available and are described in this book.

The principal challenge facing those, who would influence the American people to return to their Liberal-Democratic heritage is; how to discredit the powerful notion of Conservatism, which is actually a fraudulent value system. If we believe electoral results, more than half of all adult American voters now subscribe to this fraud, even though they support Liberal positions in opinion polls.

“The Framers made the federal government stronger because of the alarming quantity and dismaying quality of ‘ctive liberty’ in the states.”
George F. Will, Conservative Columnist, Newsweek, September 26, 2005

With this outrageously false statement, Right wing-conservative Mr. Will demonstrated the hostile attitude of all radical-Conservatives, to the concept of Liberty, held even by those who are not Neo-Fascists.

There is no such record of limiting “Active Liberty” in the Constitution, or in the Federalist papers. Like all Conservatives, Will was worried about money. He had reference to concerns raised about creditors being cheated. There was little chance of this in a period when debtors prisons were still in use. The strong Federal system or National government, that Will refers to, was primarily intended to provide for a strong defense of the nation, after the problems that Washington and the Revolutionary Army had holding its troops in service for the duration of the war.

The traditionally moderate, good, and generous people, who are traditional-conservatives (with a small “c”) in all of their day-to-day lives, but very naïve about politics; have been blinded by NFC Republican propaganda, masquerading as benign middle class populism and financial and cultural conservatism. In fact, the NFC dogma is no different than that of the Radical- Conservative Pseudo-Populism of the 1930s Fascists, which was a blend of extreme:

Nationalism, Militarism, Imperialism, dogmatic ideologies, religious and racist primacy, hypocritical righteousness, resentment of social justice, dire and false warnings of the decline of sexual, cultural, and moral values, creation and demonization of hated enemies, and great fear and resistance to social change in the modern world.

The 21st Century NFC Republican dogma has been a carbon copy of that dark age.

American Liberals, Socialists, Democrats, and moderates; like their European cousins in pre-war Germany and Italy, are loathe to resort to the practice of name calling, even when it is true; whereas the NFC Republicans have been consistently using these time proven tactics; which were so effectively used against the Liberal and Social Democrats of the 1930s, by the thugs of the original Fascist movements. It is a sad commentary on the gullibility, and political naiveté of the average American, but it works; especially when it is repeated often enough. The next time you listen to a Radical Neo-Conservative propagandist, see how long it takes them to call the opposition “Liberals” as though the name were somehow akin to leprosy.

This book is to announce that it is time to begin calling Neo-Conservative Republicans what they really are…Neo-Fascists!

The Soul of a People is Awakened in the Battle against Liberalism:

“The soul of a people, however, can only awaken through sacrifice and pain. A perpetual sacrifice to put up with the stench of putrefying corpses which Liberalism… Skepticism,… and factional politics leaves wafting over the fields.”
Plinio Salgado, Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB), Brazilian Fascist Party, Rio de Janeiro, 1935

In the same way they have demonized the “L” (Liberal) word, we must now discredit and expose the NFC form of Conservatism, for what it really is; Neo-Fascism. Fascism must be unmasked as the real ideology of the Neo-Conservatism of the NFC Republicans. NFC Conservatism must become a dirty name, covered with the blood, guts, and filth, which this ideology causes, this includes, attacks against the rights and economic interests of the common man and woman, in favor of the Corporations, and wealthy contributors, and the death and destruction of peoples, cultures, and nations, by NFC Imperial-Nationalist wars intended to dominate the entire world.

We Americans Are Traditionalists not Conservatives!

Liberal-Democracy is the unique tradition of the American people, and we must persuade the people to stop thinking of themselves as being conservative, but as honorable Traditional Americans. This requires that all lovers of Liberal-Democracy substitute the name “Traditionalist” for “Conservative” in all of our discourse and conversation with our so-called conservative friends.

Assuming that we are sucessful in defeating the NFC Republicans in 2008, we must never allow this foreign and evil ideology to gain a foothold in American or world politics again.

This will require a comprehensive and continuing program of grass roots education, activism, and oversight of our, increasingly Aristocratic politicians, at every level of government. This will not be easy, as the American electorate is the most apathetic and politically unsophisticated in the entire world.

“The tyranny of a principal in an Oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a Democracy.”
Charles Louis de Montesquieu

This may be due to the fact that Americans have, until now, never been forced to live in a Dictatorial, or Totalitarian system of government.

“If we expect this country to work, it depends on an informed, an intelligent electorate. You know, Thomas Jefferson said very early on in our republic that the nation that expects to be ignorant and free never can and never will be. We're an ignorant nation right now. We're not really capable I do not think the majority of our people, of making the decisions that have to be made at election time, and particularly in the selection of their legislatures and their Congress and the Presidency of course. I don't think we're bright enough to do the job that would preserve our Democracy, our Republic. I think we're in serious danger.”
Walter Cronkite, Larry King Show, October 1, 2005

The NFC Republicans are not ten feet tall, and they can be beaten. In polls taken in late 2005, by legitimate polling concerns, President Bush’s approval rating had fallen to the lowest of any President in his second term. Only 35% of Americans approved of the way he was doing his job. For example, 67% of Americans disapproved of his plans to privatize Social Security; and amidst his frequent pep rallies with the troops; his Happy Talk about the War in Iraq, did not work, as his numbers continued to slide, along with the steadily mounting casualty reports.

"If POTUS is on the road, you can breathe a little easier. Otherwise, it is one temper tantrum after another from Bush, whose "cakewalk war" has turned into interminable conflict, whose idiocy in diverting funding for New Orleans' levees to war in Iraq was disastrous for the famous city, and whose Social Security privatization has been rejected by the electorate. Even rah-rah Republican Newt Gingrich says the White House is surrounded by failure.”
Bush Aide speaking in confidence Source: Paul Craig Roberts, October 4, 2005

In typical Bush-world bluster, Senator John Cornyn of Texas said that the polls don’t deter the President, “I’d say it motivates him”

Let us continue to motivate him, but remember he is not running in 2008.

The Un-American, Un-Christian, and criminally profligate actions of the NFC Republicans of the Gingrich/DeLay/Bush era were sufficient to convince a large enough margin of the people to throw the bums out in 2006. However, unless this power shift in the Congress, translates into a national political revolution, then we will sink back into the Imperialist and Authoritarian policies of the NFC ideology.

When we are sucessful in defeating the NFC Republicans that currently hold Executive power, a long term program for a political Renaissance in America must be adopted and pursued with fierce determination.

The Mathematical Power of Triangulation

President Clinton was a master at politics, but he would honestly admit that he was able to defeat the elder Bush for President, because of a periodic phenomenon which occurs in America. Super wealthy Aristocratic Americans, that love Liberty, and who are frequently not politicians, become sufficiently disgusted with the corruption of the party in power, and the direction they are taking the country, that they become turncoats against the ruling class. As pointed out earlier, Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy were such Aristocratic turncoats.

Ross Perot was also such a turncoat. His Populist Reform Party movement, more than any other factor, caused the defeat of the Republican campaign to re-elect the senior Bush in 1991. Perot must have been serious about his run for the presidency, because he largely financed the entire campaign from his personal funds. That is still legal in the U.S.; however, he must have known that he had little chance of winning the Presidency. The NFC Republican dirty tricks campaign saw to that. Maybe all he wanted was to stop Bush Sr. from winning, and this could be the key to defeating the NFC Republicans. Instead of concentrating all energies on a frontal assault by the opposition party, we should insure that the Republican base is split by a third party movement with a populistand conservative (with a small “c”) message and champion.

By having another Right of center Reform Party in the mix, many financial and social “conservative” populist voters that normally voted for the Republican candidate, voted for the Reform Party. This was a critical factor in the Bush Sr.-Clinton-Perot election, and it forced the Republican candidate to take the Reform Party seriously. In National debates, the Reform Party was able to discredit much of the Bush Sr. record and agenda; and the criticism was coming from the Independent Traditional-conservative right of the political spectrum. This persuaded many Reagan Democrats and Moderate Republicans to vote for Clinton, or Perot.

It takes no genius to calculate that Triangulation by right of center parties works to the benefit of American Liberal-Democracy, and the people, whereas left of center parties, such as the Green Party; work to the benefit of the NFC Republicans.

The Reform Party will probably never rise again, but there is a right of center Party that espouses some aspects of Populism, and that is already registered in most states. That Party is the Libertarian Party. Much of its platform is the same as the Republican Party, particularly the obsession with limiting the role of the United Nations; but much of the platform is PopulistandLiberal, such as reduced police powers, and the legalization of Marijuana.

What is needed in the next election is, to make it possible for those moderate populist Americans who for whatever reason cannot support the Democratic Party or the Republican Party; to join and register with the Libertarian Party, and take it over by sheer force of numbers. Once in control of the Party the moderate Libertarians could eliminate those provisions in the party platform that are actually Radical Conservative, and incompatible with the Principles of American Liberal-Democracy, and World Peace.

It will only require that the Libertarian Party attract a small percentage of socially moderate Christians and Populist Republican Party voters, to tip the scale against them. Even with the massive help of corporate largesse and the fanatical Christian-Nationalists, Bush Jr. only won the popular vote by a few percentage points in 2004, and one third of the Evangelicals voted for the Democrats in the 2006 tidal wave. One way to precipitate the split; might be to rename the Party the, Christian Libertarians. That would create a schizophrenic split among many CNF Crusaders!

The Anti-War Veterans would be the type of Liberal-Democracy advocates that should lead this effort. It depends on whether they can find another rich Aristocratic turncoat to underwrite the campaign.

A true Patriot like General Wesley Clark or Anthony Zinni could be the right kind of American to serve as the Presidential Candidate on a Reform  Libertarian ticket. In fact either of them could win! If he did, he should form a government of National Unity, with American Liberal-Democracy advocates and Moderates of all political parties in his cabinet.

Later, after the 2008 elections, if the Democratic Party fails to provide leadership to restore American Liberal-Democracy, to the center of our political tradition, it will be time to form a new mainstream people’s party in America.

Resist Tyranny

One of the greatest inspirations for revolutionary Liberating movements throughout the world was the essay “Civil Disobedience”, written by a poet naturalist of mid nineteenth century New England, Henry David Thoreau.

On Unjust Laws:

“Since the existence of unjust laws is undisputable, the citizen has a choice among three types of action; obey them, obey them until they can be amended, or transgress them at once.”
Henry David Thoreau

Thoreau’s philosophy contains fundamental truths. It is a citizen’s duty to fight injustice in society, and to do his share to ensure that injustices are not perpetuated by the state., Under weakened or sham democracies, as a political party in power reveals a tendency to reach out for constantly increasing power, the individual must find the courage to disobey, and to passively resist, because once a nation becomes an absolute dictatorship, the problem becomes impossible to correct, and Liberty is lost forever.

Thoreau’s philosophy of peaceful resistance can rightfully be credited with helping to free the nation of India from Imperial British occupation and rule. In 1907, Mahatma Ghandi, a young Hindu lawyer discovered Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” essay. He was dissatisfied with the term Passive Resistance, which he was using for the resistance movement against discriminatory British laws enforced against the Hindu population of India. He at once adopted the term Civil Disobedience to describe the tactic which eventually resulted in the Independence of India.

“My first introduction to Thoreau’s writings was, I think, in 1907, or later, when I was in the thick of the passive resistance struggle. A friend sent me the essay on Civil Disobedience. It left a deep impression on me…”
Mahatma Ghandi

During the Black population’s struggle for Civil Rights, the Reverend Martin Luther King credited Thoreau with his adoption of the Non-violent methods of civil disobedience:

“When I went to Atlanta’s Morehouse College as a freshman in 1944,…I read Thoreau’s “Essay on Civil Disobedience” for the first time. Fascinated by the idea of refusing to cooperate with an evil system, I was so deeply moved that I reread the work several times. This was my first intellectual contact with the theory of nonviolent resistance. Something began to say to me, he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. When oppressed people willingly accept their oppression they only serve to give the oppressor a convenient justification for his acts.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Stride Toward Freedom”

In the current political climate in America, civil disobedience will bring violent and repressive reaction. Peaceful, law-abiding political dissenters have already been harassed, spied on, investigated and arrested for speaking out against the CNF Bush regime. Under these limitations the Peace or Anti-War movement has struggled to gain support, even though they energized massive marches all over the world.

It is vital that all Americans that want to preserve what is left of our Freedoms, engage in whatever form of resistance that is possible. This includes joining organized Peace movements, participating in Marches and peaceful demonstrations, and above all evangelizing all of the people within your circle of friends, especially moderate Republicans and misguided Democrats, that may have voted for the NFC Republicans in the past, out of Patriotism, or unjustified Fear of Terrorism.

Finally respond to fund raising requests by Liberal organizations that are in the front lines fighting the NFC Republicans. Then……

Vote--Before You Lose The Right To Vote!!

In the past two World Wars, Americans have fought and died to Liberate captive peoples of dictatorial regimes all over the world. Today the American people are living in the first phase of a Neo-Fascist dictatorship, and there is no one to come to their aid. We must liberate ourselves, and this is only possible before the right to vote is eliminated or totally defrauded by electronic methods.

Fascism on Elections:

“By 1929, the eradication of Liberalism and Socialism as political threats was complete and institutional foundations of the Fascist state were in place. Gone for good is the depressing succession of deceptions, frauds, and acts of violence which inevitably accompanied the so-called electoral campaigns of the past; the election itself has been abolished. People now vote for an idea, for a regime, not for men.”
Benito Mussolini, State of the Union Speech, March 10, 1929

Even in a high turn-out presidential election year, 15-20 percent of the eligible voters determine the outcome of the election. Of all eligible adults, only about 60 percent are actually registered. Only half of those normally cast ballots, so typically, in an off year election, only approximately 30 percent of the eligible voters actually vote. In 2006 39.7 million people voted, therefore; less than 20 percent of the eligible voters determined the outcome of the Congressional races in 2006!

In 2004Bush/Cheney won the necessary electoral votes with the slim margin of only 50.73% of those who voted, yet he had the guts to claim that the voters had given him a mandate and “Political Capital” that he would now spend to implement the entire NFC agenda.

If you agree with what you have read, you have an obligation to yourself, your family, your friends, your children, and your country to help get out the vote against the entire RCN Republican ticket. None of this information is of any use if we fail to get out and vote!

Vote Straight Democratic, Vote Early, Vote Often!

This canard has been frequently used to allege Democratic Party voting fraud. While there may be some truth to the charges, it is also certain that the other side used the same tactics. However, a new threat has emerged, since the voting controversies during the Gore-Bush voting debacle in Florida, in 2000. Electronic voting has been hailed as the panacea for eliminating voting fraud and irregularities in the future, however, in many states the switch to electronic voting machines, with no paper audit trail, has resulted in a situation where massive technical fraud by companies with known allegiance to the NFC Republicans, is possible. It is important that the integrity of the voting process be insured at the earliest possible time. Until then, Americans should be encouraged to vote by a paper “Absentee Ballot” in every election.

E-Voting Fraud

The acquisition of these new electronic voting machines must be done in a way that insures the integrity of the vote. In September 2005, the Carter-Baker Commission established by the U.S. Congress, issued its report required by the “Help America Vote Act” (HAVA) The findings contained in the report should cause major concern among all Americans.

The commission found that electronic voting machines have already been acquired and used which; have proprietary, secret, and impenetrable software, lacked paper ballot records, and were subject to fraud in numerous steps in the counting process. Of greater concern was the finding that 20 states had passed laws requiring Photo ID cards to vote. Some states had actually set up systems that effectively discriminate against old, black, and poor people. Georgia was singled out as the worst offender, charging up to $30.00 for state controlled ID cards, and with insufficient locations to obtain the cards. For example, Atlanta, with a majority black population, had not one ID card issuing center in the entire city.

“It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
Joseph Stalin

The scandals of the hackable electronic voting systems, developed by Diebold and other Republican supporters, and other voting irregularities threatens to disenfranchise millions of primarily, American Liberal- Democratic voters. In spite of these issues which are not being addressed, the vote is one of the few remaining rights of the people; that has not yet been entirely nullified by the NFC Republicans.

The following proposal was provided to the Democratic National Committee in early 2006, but no action was taken!!!

TAKING BACK THE WHITE HOUSE

KEEPING CONGRESS IN 2008

PURPOSE: To Propose a Democratic Party Equivalent of “THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA”

BACKGROUND

In 1994, the Republican Party used a clever idea to crystallize for the American people, what the party would do, if given the power to take control of the U.S. Congress. The “Contract With America” was in essence, a clear and powerful statement of a new understandable, and unequivocal party platform, full of populist promises that were never intended to be passed as legislation; but the impact on the American people was decisive. In fact, they never noticed that the promise was only to “introduce legislation” not to try to pass it! The best example was the promise of “Term Limits”, later opposed by most Republicans.

In 2008, the Democratic Party has a similar opportunity to take back control of the White House; due to the disastrous consequences of the Iraq War, the brutal quagmire of the Occupation, the Foreign Policy blunders with Korea, and Iran, the excessive force of the U.S. backed war on the people of Lebanon, and a host of domestic issues from Corporate Greed to Official Corruption. However, the Democratic Party is beset by internal divisions on the right position to take on the Iraq War and Occupation, the Civil Rights and Privacy violations, the President’s extra-constitutional actions in the War on Terror, the Torture Scandals, and many other thorny issues. To those working in the trenches, it appears that the party message will again be hopelessly muddled, and we will lose!

We need a defining moment and a strong message for the campaigns.

Almost all of the Republican incumbents in Congress have more funds than challengers, for media buys. The Democratic candidates desperately need something to counter this imbalance in resources. They need a powerful message that will resonate all across America, and which will guide their campaigns along a disciplined party line position. They need something to jump start their campaigns that should be announced at a major Press Conference on the steps of Independence Hall, where our besieged Constitution was born.

They need a DEMOCRATIC PARTY “NEW COMPACT WITH AMERICA”

We are the NEW DEMOCRATS of the 21st Century and we will not be defeated by campaigns of FEAR, SMEAR, and DENIGRATION of our troops, our veterans, and our

Traditional Freedoms and American values, which we want to express in a strong and clear message.

Listed in the Compact are actions we promise to take within the first 100 days of taking office.

THE NEW COMPACT WITH AMERICA 

1. RESPECT FOR THE CONSTITUTION AND RULE OF LAW

-We pledge to restore balance to the three branches of government, and will offer legislation to deny claims of the Unitary Executive, or all powerful Commander-In-Chief. Americans will not be ruled by a Sovereign or a Dictator!

-We promise that we will insure that all branches, agencies, military personnel, officials, and agents of the U.S. Government, adhere to the letter and principle of the law, to include; The U.S. Constitution, U.S. Statutes, International Treaties made U.S. law; and to insure prosecution of any who have or will stain the reputation of our nation by Un-American and Internationally recognized War Crimes.

-We will take action to deny the Executive, the right to pervert the legislative process by “Signing Statements” that short-circuit the powers of Congress.

-The American people are “Sovereign” here, and we will offer the “Bill of Rights Enforcement Act” to make violations of the rights of Americans by Government agents and employees, punishable as crimes and torts actionable in Federal court.

-We pledge to restore the traditional rights and privileges of Congressional comity, negotiation, compromise, representation of the minority party in all deliberations, transparency in legislating, and to enshrine the uniquely American democratic principle of unlimited debate (filibuster) by any U.S. Senator, even when we are in the majority.

-We are now 300 million people, and we need more people’s Representatives, as provided by the Constitution. We will introduce the “Equal Representation Act” to increase Democracy in Congress, by dramatically increasing the number of Members of the House of Representatives, to a ratio greater than the representatives of the people of Russia and the People’s Republic of China, which now have greater representation.

-We pledge to make the rights, interests, and Commonwealth of the American people, our primary duties and responsibility.

2. WORLD LEADERSHIP BY COOPERATION AND EXAMPLE

-We will offer amendments to the “War Powers Act” to never again permit the aggressive military violation of the sovereign territory of any nation, without an express Declaration of War by both Houses of Congress. This will strengthen the War Powers Act, and recover the Constitutional power and authority of Congress over War and Peace.

-We specifically denounce the illegal National Policy of Preventive War, or Pre-Emptive War, without an actual Act of War, invasion of our territory, or demonstrated danger of imminent attack, confirmed by multiple reliable methods provided to the body of the Congress.

- We will return to the proven National Policy of Multi-Lateralism; acting with the International Community to resolve world issues such as; Genocide, Torture, National Security, Terrorism, Regional Wars, Environmental Threats, Poverty, Hunger, Drug smuggling, etc.

-We will respect the fiscal and human limitations of our National Power, especially our military capacity.

-We declare full and complete support and respect for the Mission and Integrity of the United Nations for achieving Peace and Justice in the World, honoring the sacrifices of the 40 million people who perished in WWII.

-We will pursue a continuous International Effort to finally resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict and help to create an International “Middle East Marshal Plan” to rebuild the areas destroyed by the past 50 years of violence.

3. DEFENSIVE MILITARY DOCTRINE AND POSTURE

-We will establish a 21st Century Defensive Military Posture based on the “DDD”Doctrine: +Detection of Threats well before they become a crisis. +Defense of the Homeland against tactical unconventional warfare threats, while preserving the Rights and Freedoms of all Americans. We will not succumb to unreasoned FEAR and create Police State Fortress America, which cannot in any case, promise 100% Safety.

-True National Security can only be assured by Just Foreign Policies, and we will reassess all Foreign Policies, to renew our reputation as a Peace Loving Nation that is even handed, and which does not follow a Plan of World or Regional Domination +Deterrence against potential Enemies with Strategic Warfare capacity by Diplomacy, and deterrent strength of our strategic arms.

-We will conduct a review of all Foreign Military Bases, and withdraw from those where no vital U.S. interest is being served by our presence.

-We specifically declare that we will not support or permit any Permanent U.S. or NATO Bases, anywhere in Iraq or the greater Middle East.

4. NATIONAL SECURITY AND SAFETY

-We will offer the “Veterans National Security Service” bill to hire thousands of Veterans to provide for the Security of our skies, borders, transportation terminals, chemical, nuclear, biological; and other critical infrastructure.

-We will take action to comply with the 9/11 Commission recommendations and provide; frequency spectrum, communications, medical and other critical equipment to all Police and Fire departments in America, based on degree of vulnerability to terrorist attacks.

-We will offer a new “Inter-American Cooperative Immigration and Naturalization System Bill”, and obtain the cooperation of all Central and South American countries and Canada, to help control the flow of immigrant workers throughout the Americas.

-We will strengthen our borders
