Individual liberty anywhere is a threat to the Progressive-Collectivist Cause everywhere.
(from nationalreview.com)A confederacy of liberal groups, that is. They plan to host on Saturday a sort of ‘counter-demonstration’ to Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally and, according to the New York Times “make the case that they, and not the ascendant right, speak for America’s embattled middle class.”
Who’s going to be at the march, representing the embattled middle class?
Why, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, the SEIU, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the National Council of La Raza.

–Chicago Democratic Socialists of America
–Committee of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism
–Democratic Socialists of America
