depending on their <em>issue<\/em> <em>de jour<\/em>. \u00a0Watching the turmoil in Wisconsin in recent weeks, and seeing Democrats on the floor of the General Assembly&#8230; all decked out in their stylish orange t-shirts&#8230; \u00a0shouting childish epithets at their Republican colleagues, one is reminded of how easily and how quickly liberals, Democrats, socialists, fascists, and communists adopt self-identifying uniforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What comes to mind are leftist movements of the past two centuries: Mussolini\u2019s Blackshirts; Hitler\u2019s Brownshirts; the white-hooded Knights of the Ku Klux Klan; the black-suited New Black Panthers; the pink-shirted dilettantes of Code Pink; the red-shirted thugs of Obama\u2019s ACORN; the green-shirted radicals of AFSCME; and the purple-shirted goons of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).\u00a0 Of these, only Hitler\u2019s Brownshirts and Mussolini\u2019s Blackshirts are not known to have been closely associated with the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Tea Party activists, who are capable of dressing themselves and thinking for themselves, union members and other self-identified leftists, socialists, and fascists are, by their very nature, like children who must have others dress them and do their thinking for them.<\/p>\n<p>Mussolini\u2019s Blackshirts, the <em>Fasci di Combattimenti, <\/em>were established as a Fascist paramilitary force in 1919.\u00a0 Far from being as brutal as Hitler\u2019s Brownshirts, Mussolini\u2019s Blackshirts favored tactics such as tying an opposition \u201cnon-conformist\u201d to a tree, forcing a pint or two of castor oil down his throat, and forcing him to swallow a live toad or frog. \u00a0While not life-threatening, such punishments were enough to cause most Italians to give the Blackshirts a bit of latitude.<\/p>\n<p>And while submissive adults were important to the Mussolini regime, it was the children, the fascists of the future, who were of greatest interest to Il Duce.\u00a0 Like Democrats of today and like Nazis of yesteryear, a top priority of Italian fascists was control of the state\u2019s public education system\u2026 not because of the quality of the education children might receive, but because of the opportunities it provided for filling impressionable young minds with leftist ideology.<\/p>\n<p>While Italian children were taught to sing hymns of praise to Il Duce, American children are taught by unionized teachers to chant, <em>\u201cHe said red, yellow, black, or white, all are equal in his sight.\u00a0 Mmm, mmm, mmm!\u00a0 Barack Hussein Obama!\u00a0 Barack Hussein Obama!\u201d<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adolph Hitler\u2019s Brownshirts, the <em>Sturmabteilung (SA), <\/em>served as the paramilitary arm of the <a title=\"National Socialist German Workers' Party\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Socialist_German_Workers%27_Party\">National Socialist German Workers\u2019 (Nazi) Party<\/a>.\u00a0 It played a major role in Hitler\u2019s rise to power during the 1920s and 30s until being violently displaced by the <em>Schutzstaffel<strong> <\/strong><\/em>(SS) in 1934.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Hitler Youth, who wore the same brown shirts as their elders, were important to the future of the Third Reich because it was their job, not only to inform on their parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors, but to train and recruit future SA members.\u00a0 And just as the Hitler Youth were taught Nazi slogans and Nazi doctrine by adult leaders, Youth for Obama children are taught to sing propaganda themes such as, <em>\u201cWe\u2019re gonna\u2019 spread happiness.\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna\u2019 spread freedom.\u00a0 Obama\u2019s gonna\u2019 change it, Obama\u2019s gonna\u2019 lead \u2018em, Obama\u2019s gonna\u2019 change it&#8230; and rearrange it.\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna\u2019 change the world.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Ku Klux Klan, identifiable by their white robes and white conical hats and facemasks, was formed in 1865 as the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party.\u00a0 The primary role of the Klan was to intimidate the freed slaves, controlling every facet of their daily lives as if they had not been freed from the bonds of slavery.\u00a0 Sworn testimony contained in the Congressional Record tells us that, after Republicans wrote and ratified the 15<sup>th<\/sup> Amendment, giving blacks the right to vote, Democrats often stood in the doorways of the polling places handing out Democratic ballots and reminding blacks that, if they failed to vote the Democrat ticket, there was a coffin waiting for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that level of intimidation most blacks voted the Democrat ticket&#8230; but some did not.\u00a0 Archives maintained by the Tuskegee Institute contain the names of some 4,730 men and women who refused to be intimidated.\u00a0 Between 1882 and 1951, the white-clad night riders of the Klan lynched some 3,437 blacks and 1,293 whites, essentially all Republicans.\u00a0 Now, in what can only be described as a mind-boggling reversal of roles, we find members of the New Black Panther Party, clad in black military style uniforms and brandishing police-style nightsticks, employing essentially the same tactics as the KKK&#8230; intimidating both black and white voters suspected of voting for Republican candidates.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), whose members and staff are recognizable by their red t-shirts, was born out of the welfare rights movement of the 1950s and 60s.\u00a0 According to ACORN propaganda, the group\u2019s priorities have included better low-income housing, higher wages for the poor, more community development investment from banks and governments, better public schools, unionization of workers, and other \u201csocial justice\u201d issues.\u00a0 \u00a0Putting a bit of \u201clipstick on a pig,\u201d ACORN claims to have pursued these goals through public demonstrations, negotiations, lobbying, and voter participation.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, in spite of the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars, much of it taxpayer funds, have flowed through the hands of thirty ACORN state chapters and hundreds of local chapters, ACORN activists have little to show for their efforts.\u00a0 Low income housing has been a national disgrace; few minorities have gained middle class status via ACORN\u2019s efforts; pressure exerted on banks to make mortgage loans to applicants with little or no ability to repay them, has brought our nation to the brink of financial collapse; the number of high school dropouts, especially in the black community, has steadily increased while education spending has grown exponentially; more than two out of every three black babies are born to unwed mothers; and, with ACORN\u2019s assistance, the number of black babies aborted now borders on genocide.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing ACORN has done successfully is to provide the Democratic Party with many thousands of dead or fictitious voters.\u00a0 Numerous officials have been indicted on fraud charges and on March 22, 2010, ACORN announced it was closing all of its remaining state chapters and disbanding due to falling revenue.\u00a0 Although Democrats will be forced to find a new source of fraudulent voter registrations, they\u2019re almost certain to experience a one-time windfall from the sale of thousands of red ACORN t-shirts.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Until the shameless siege of the Wisconsin state capitol, the purple-shirted goons of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) could be counted on to turn out in force&#8230; shouting, screaming, pushing, shoving, and brutalizing the opposition.\u00a0 But now, the violence-prone goons of the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, the NEA, and the AFT appear to have reclaimed their mantle as party \u201cenforcers.\u201d\u00a0 And while decent people may view with alarm the lawless nature of those who occupied the Wisconsin capitol, threatening and terrorizing Republican members of the House and Senate, it is easy to lose track of just who those people are.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They are not just a bunch of radical Democrats and unionized public employees in <em>someone else\u2019s<\/em> state capital.\u00a0 No matter where we live, they are our family members, our neighbors; the teachers who teach our children; our fellow Wal-Mart shoppers; and, sadly, in far too many instances, they are the police officers and the firefighters in whose hands we place the safety of our families and our property.\u00a0 They are, like the Wisconsin classroom teachers and other public employees, those who contribute their hard earned dollars to elect Democratic puppets in our city halls, our county courthouses, our state legislatures, and the Congress. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They are the people who refuse to condemn the author of the death threat made to Wisconsin legislators, the cowardly threat that tells Republican legislators, \u201cPlease put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will also be killed&#8230; We have all planned to assault you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head&#8230;\u201d\u00a0 They are the leftist hoodlums who have been taught by their union overlords to chant at Republicans, \u201cYou have killed democracy,\u201d when few of them are sufficiently educated to write a single declaratory sentence describing the difference between a democracy and a republic.<\/p>\n<p>They are not the people who have, through their industry, built a great nation; they are the people who would find comfort in the smothering embrace of a European-style socialist state.\u00a0 They are not builders of wealth, creators, and leaders; they are the moochers, the parasites, and the hangers-on of Ayn Rand\u2019s epic work, <em>Atlas Shrugged.\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that conservatives and Republicans have been successful in attacking the power of public employee unions in Idaho, Ohio, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and elsewhere, the real battle begins.\u00a0 Between now and the 2012 General Election, it is up to Republicans to remind voters of why collective bargaining reform is so essential.\u00a0 They must hang all of Wisconsin\u2019s $100,000+ bus drivers, New York City\u2019s 4,000 \u201crubber room\u201d teachers, and Harry Reid\u2019s Northern Nevada Cowboy Poetry Festival tightly around the necks of Democrats.\u00a0 And now that the rainbow coalition of color-coded radicals, representing less than fifteen percent of the U.S. workforce, has been foolish enough to show us their true colors, it\u2019s up to the rest of us to make sure the voters do not forget who they are when they go to the polls in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether black, white, brown, red, pink, orange, green, or purple, leftists come in all colors&#8230;
