Don't Miss Socialism 2010 Conference

American socialism is alive and well and in Chicago, IL, this weekend and in Oakland, CA, July 4. If you have any doubts feel free to drop by the Socialism 2010 conference and you too can be exposed to a confused mishmash of radical left wing ideology even Marx would have a hard time recognizing.

Topics will include anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, pro-Arab nationalism, pro-illegal immigration, anti-free market capitalism and much more. All of this in addition to the usual praise of Lenin, Marx, and Trotsky and how the Chinese cultural revolution could have gone better. But wait, there is more, for example, a discussion on "Arab Views of the Holocaust," "Is Human Nature a Barrier to Socialism?" and "Is Violence Necessary to Change Society?"

Of course, there are still a few Americans who think socialism is a bad thing and some who may still be on the fence. For them Coral Ridge Ministries is now offering a new book, "Ten Truths About Socialism," which lays out the case against socialism in 10 quick chapters that survey history's most blood-stained philosophy.

A companion documentary DVD, "Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger" is also available and features U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN); Charles Colson, Prison Fellowship Founder; Wendy Wright, President, Concerned Women for America; David Horowitz, author of Radical Son; Marvin Olasky, Editor-in-chief of World Magazine; and Steve Forbes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes; among many others.

The sad truth is that socialism is alive and well in America, in fact a New York Times/CBS News poll recently found that 52 percent of Americans believe that President Obama's policies are driving the United States toward socialism.

"Socialism has delivered tyranny, poverty, and death to millions. So why is Washington driving our nation toward this failed and dangerous idea?" -Robert Knight, co-author of Ten Truths About Socialism
