"Behind the Debate Over Gay Marriage"

Margaret calls my attention to this article by Alicia Colon at The New York Sun, Feb. 23:

.... Consider the fact that gay rights is not the only social issue that has resulted in many political figures cashing in long-held beliefs for political gains. Abortion is another. Those who charge that there is a cultural war going on in America are closer than they realize to the truth.
Over 40 years ago, Rep. A.S. Herlong of Florida introduced into the Congressional Record, January 10, 1963, excerpts of a book written by a former FBI agent, Cleon Skousen.
It was called “The Naked Communist,” and the excerpts were “current communist goals.” There were 45 in all, at least 40 of which have been achieved. These are some that need to be noted as apropos to what is going on in America today:
• Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
• Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
• Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”
• Discredit the family as an institution.
• Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights
• Eliminate prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Mr. Skousen’s book was written during the Cold War and before many of the goals had been reached. I was aware of the Soviet Union’s “five-year plans” but I thought he had taken liberty with his interpretation of the communist agenda until I reread the “Communist Manifesto” written by Marx and Engels. One quote in particular resonated. “Bourgeois marriage is, in reality, a system of wives in common and thus, at the most, what the Communists might possibly be reproached with is that they desire to introduce, in substitution for a hypocritically concealed, an openly legalized system of free love.” ....

See Communist Goals (1963).

See also "The Western Disease":

.... Where did this disease come from? Would I be too much of a crackpot if I speculated that, if Communist infiltrators subverted our institutions decades ago — infecting them with anti-Americanism to be passed on from generation to generation in order that our whole society would be weakened and possibly destroyed without the need of a conventional war to do it in — "The Western Disease" might very well be the longed-for result?

And see also Castro and America's Liberals:

Go figure. They despise George W. Bush. Bush = Hitler, dontchaknow. (Okay. They don't all despise him. I'm talking the left-wing bigmouths.) But the real murderous brutal tyrant, Fidel Castro, they love. On the one hand, it defies all reason: they adore the man who has ruled the despotic, repressive dictatorship closest (geographically) to the USA. Yet, it makes perfect sense: he is a communist; he is a left-wing tyrant; he is a leftist. Like they are. So he can do no wrong. He's one of them....

And see also "An Open Letter to Student Anti-War Protesters": An ex-communist organizer explains how the communists influence college dupes.
