Guess who?

The (?) Party is committed to full freedom of speech, assembly, press, and religion, and to a multi-party system. We are dedicated to the abolition of male supremacy and class society, and to the elimination of all forms of oppression, including those based on race, national origin, age, sexual preferences, and disabling conditions. The (?) Party struggle(s) for the full freedom of women and men to control their own bodies and determine their own sexual orientation.

The (?) Party works to eliminate prejudice and discrimination in all its forms. We recognize the right of self-defense in the face of attacks; we also support non-violent direct action in combating oppression. People of color, lesbians and gays, and other oppressed groups need independent organization to fight oppression.

The (?) Party is democratic, with its structure and practices visible and accessible to all members. We reject dogma and promote internal debate. The (?) Party is a "multi-tendency" organization. We orient ourselves around our principles and develop a common program, but our members have various underlying philosophies and views of the world. Solidarity within the party comes from the ability of those with divergent views on some issues to engage in a collective struggle towards social revolution. We strive to develop feminist practice within the party.

...we pledge our opposition to all forms of sexism, and demand equality for women in all
aspects of life. We support comparable worth laws and affirmative action for women. We believe women should be free to improve their own working lives through unions and other organizations. We support the expansion and full funding of 24 hour child care facilities, community education to combat violence against women, and the establishment of crisis lines and shelters for women and children in abusive situations. We believe that work at home, including child care, should be shared to enable women to fully participate in society. We call for one year’s paid leave to be shared by new parents or in its entirely by a single parent.
We support the rights of all women to birth control information and supplies, and to all reproductive health services (including
abortion).

The (?) Party is committed to the creation of a pluralistic society and the elimination of all forms of discrimination in housing, jobs, education, and health care. We strongly support affirmative action, civil rights, and anti-discrimination laws and programs to end institutional racism. We oppose all efforts to declare English an official language. We oppose the police practice of racial profiling.

The (?) Party recognizes the human and civil rights of all, without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity. We call for
the repeal of all sodomy laws and anti-lesbian and gay restrictions, and the legalization of same-sex unions or marriages. We are committed to confronting the heterosexism that provides the fertile ground for homophobic violence, and support all efforts toward fostering understanding and cooperation among persons and groups of differing sexual orientations and identities.

The (?) Party stands for a health care system based on universal coverage, salaried doctors and health care workers, and revenues derived from a graduated income tax. We support a single-payer National Health Program with full standard and alternative medical and dental coverage for all, publicly funded through progressive taxation, and controlled by democratically elected local boards. We call for a health care system that emphasizes preventive care, respects patients’ privacy, gives special attention to the needs of the physically and mentally disabled, and conducts treatment and research unimpaired by sexism, racism, or homophobia. We call for full funding for AIDS research. We call for the management of heroin addiction other than replacing it with an addiction to methadone. The (?) Party would re-fund community mental health services so that low cost or no cost treatment is available on a voluntary basis, with patients’ rights respected.

The (?) Party stands for unconditional disarmament by the United States and supports an international treaty outlawing all weapons of mass destruction. We call for an immediate cut of 50% in the military budget, followed by additional cuts, with the aim of rapidly reducing the military budget to less than 10% of its current level, with the budgetary savings redirected to essential social services. We call for massive jobs program for towns and cities where military bases are closed.

We support a program of massive federal investment in both urban and rural areas for infrastructure reconstruction and economic development. We call for the elimination of subsidies and tax breaks that benefit corporations and wealthy households at the expense of working people. We call for Social Security, health, disability, and unemployment insurance to be paid for by a steeply graduated income tax and by a steeply graduated estate tax. We support the use of any federal budget surplus on human services rather than tax cuts that will only benefit the rich.

Which political Party is this? Anyone care to make a guess?

Johnv got it right. Unfortunately, this is the stuff, almost vebatim, the Democratic Party platform is made of.

For further confirmation, here is a link to the Communist Party of America:

http://www.cpusa.org/article/archive/102/

Socialists / Communists have invaded the Democratic Party at the highest levels. This should be a wake up call to all Americans who value freedom, especially Christians. I also think Nancy Nazi Pelosi was a most excellent choice to head up the Socialist / Communist Democratic Party. It should be the final nail in their collective coffin. I predict when mainstream USA gets wind of her inpenetrable extreme left wing thinking (invincible ignorance) Rebuplicans and Independents alike will make even greater gains in the coming years.

All the while the Socialist Democrats just "don't get it." They remain clueless as to the reasons for their recent trouncing. They are unaware that they are completely out of the loop of rational thought, not to mention the mainstream, on most of the issues confronting this country today. Now is the time for evangelical Christians to unite at the polls and seal the Socialist Democratic Partys fate once and for all.

Surely the demonic hordes must be howling in anger! Their plan is in danger! Abortion on demand is in jeopardy! Homosexuality will be seen as the perversion that it is! Poor people and minorities will be liberated from their enslavement to the Socialist Democratic Party! Truth will no longer lie fallen in the streets!

It is amazing what God can do through a born again Christian leader. The best is yet to come!
