<P>Okay, this <A title="Pelosi's Socialist Ties"
href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/788312/posts">red-baiting</A> of
Pelosi gets sort of funny, if you ignore the evil intent. (see <A
href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/788312/posts">http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/788312/posts</A>)
The chain of guilt by association goes like this-- Pelosi is a member of
the 47-member Progressive Caucus of Congress members. The Democratic Socialists
of America (DSA) support policies of the Caucus (although not necessarily the
other way around, notably.) </P>
<P>And, horrors, DSA is a member of the dreaded <B>SOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL</B>
And what is this nefarious organization. Well according to this article:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>The Socialist International carries the torch for Karl Marx,
Friedrich Engels, V.I. Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Josef Stalin. Pay no attention
to the desperate attempts by socialists to distance themselves from Stalin.
For our purposes, it suffices to observe that every single tenet of the
Socialist International is the exact opposite of the principles upon which
America was founded, and which define the U.S. Constitution.</BLOCKQUOTE>And if
you go to the <A href="http://www.socialistinternational.org/">website</A> of
the organization, you'll find this nefarious list of members of this dreaded
organization:
<P></P>
<P>Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Britain<BR>Gerhard Schoeder, Chancellor of West
Germany<BR>Costas Simitis, Prime Minister of Greece<BR>Ehud Barak, former Prime
Minister of Israel<BR>Göran Persson, Prime Minister of Sweden<BR>Lionel Jospin,
recent Prime Minister of France<BR>Milos Zeman, Prime Minister Czeck
Republic<BR>Vaclav Havel, President Czeck Republic<BR>Thabo Mbeki, President
South Africa<BR>Ricardo Lagos, President Chile<BR>Antonio Guterres, former Prime
Minister of Portugal<BR>(Also current President of Socialist International)</P>
<P>The list goes on. Suffice to say that every allied center-left party in
Europe and most around the world are members of the Socialist International.</P>
<P>What the propagandists of the Right ignore or are too stupid to know is that
the Socialist International was formed as an <B>anti-Communist</B> alternative
global network of center-left parties around the world. See this <A
href="http://www.socialistinternational.org/2Members/backeng.html">list</A>
linking to the 141 member parties and organizations around the world. And of
course, Nancy Pelosi is not even a member of DSA or the Socialist International.
But to paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld-- not that there'd be anything wrong if she
was.</P></DIV></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
