Show The Paper That Dares To Take A ? Stand SOME CAUSES FOR A CONTINUING LEFTIST HOAX AMERICAS FUTURE, Vol. so-call- ed 17. by Charter of freedom: the Constitution of the United States. Yet despite the evidence offered by any number of distinguished writers and historians, the hoax goes on being perpetrated. Several years ago, one of our foremost editors and authors. Eugene Lyons, pointed out that It is silly and mischievous to equate the American Revolution with other varieties with those in Russia and China and Cuba, for instance. And it is grotesque to suggest, as so many are doing, some true affinity between the responsible conduct of the 13 American colonies in 776 and the 1 of objectives today's He said The revolutionaries. analogies happen to be utterly false." Mr. Lyons then went on to explain: Revolution American The was conservative essentially a War of Independence from a foreign tyranny, not an internal class or social revolution." The latter, of course, is what our leftists would like to being about using right now craftily, underhandedly. and slyly the patriotic rhetoric of the Founders of our Republic. Mr. Lyons pointed out that the American Revolution was led. and its purposes were articulated, by men deeply committed to law and reason and religious concepts. The colonists were defending established rights against the encroachments of a dictatorial power overseas." And he notes that In England itself, the American ac- tion had the support of conservatives like Edmund Burke, what we would now call men of the inright', rather than far-o- ut novators. The Americans were not radicals and their revolution had nothing in common with the revolutions of the present epoch or. You es to the American Revolution. They have the effrontery. or the political ignorance, g. to call lenin and Mao Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh...the George Washingtons of their respective countries." Tse-tun- IDIOTIC NONSENSE Mr. Lyons is perhaps too kind with his phrase political seem leftists The to be ignorance". quite deliberate in what they are trying to do. One of them (Jeremy Rifkin) wrote in an underground press publication that the Left must take up the challenge of the bicentennial celebration and turn it into a campaign designed to create a mass revolutionary consciousness" which would link Thomas Paine. Sam Adams and Beniamin Rush, and the American people with Lenin. Mao, Che (Guevara), and the struggles of all oppressed people in the world." We shold heed well what Mr. Lyons says of this thoroughly false attempt to equate modern radical leftists with the men of the American Revolution. What he says would be supported by any authentic historian worth his salt that the anaogies are absurd. To the extent that we accept them uncritically, we confer on such oligarchs and upon the revolutions which put them in power a prestige and respectability they assuredly do not merit." He calls attention to the sad fact that too many in our media and among serious thinkers on the Left go along with this nonsense. This amounts to giving moral sanction to the idiotic notion that the recmilitants.. .are kless updated Nathan Hales and Betsy Rosses." and As the celebrations commemorations of our Bicentennial go forward, let us be on guard against this and other idiotic g nonsense from our devious propagandists. Bear always in mind that the men of the American Revolution pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring about a free, society for free independent men not the collectivist state, whatever name it goes by. for which our leftists work and which inevitably eventually ends in left-win- slavery.

CREATING AN EVER INCREASING NATIONAL DEBTI To create an ever increasing national debt, politicians were induced to create all kinds of schemes, costing great sums of money, into law. We were rolled into costly wars. Internally wages were forced up and up, but never quite enough to satisfy the greedy among us. Many citizens today barely make a living while others must earn $10, $12 or more per hour. The construction of homes, so essential for our young citizens, is now greatly reduced by the unreasonable high wages paid in Bear in the building industry. mind this was done deliberately to disrupt the orderly functioning of our economy.

Hughes The decline of civilization is. of course, traceable to many causes, but today Id like to address some of those causes that I believe to be principle ones. I refer to the foolish wish succeessful people often have to make it easier for my children than it was for me." Success in life comes in large part from overcoming obstacles the Lord or circumstance places in your path. The Bible states that the Lord chastises those he truly loves. There is then a singular lack of logic in the attitude of some parents expressed in their desire to eliminate obstacles from the paths of their children at least.. it is a process easily overdone! As affluence, ora reasonable facsimile thereof as we have experienced throughout the past thirty years, brings all its influences to bear on our lives, more and more parents are found rearing from the children insulated realities of life, and thus the progressive decline of civilization! I believe this civilization is about to be severely chastised by the Lord, and for good cause. I am tired of encountering and their from merchants illogic clerks, who do not realize as well as the generation before them, that the customer is king. Of course the customer of today will very often act in an illogical way also, but the merchant of today, it seems to me. has resolved seldom to concede error or misjudgment. And this evidences to me that merchant attitudes will have to return. 1 do not believe in spending my money where it is not appreciated. A growing number are feeling the same. I believe. In our present economic trauma this is the most easily adjusted factor after the unemployment benefits run out!

For the uninformed or misinformed. it is easy for our leftists to put over the fallacious and malicious notion that there is any relation between their current efforts and those of the American revolutionists. This is because, as Mr. Lyons notes: The only resemblance between the two species of revolution is semantic the use. that is. of the same word. Nevertheless, radicals in our time have made great propaganda capital out of this confusion. They have sought to justify the horrors of modern revolutions and the which police-stattotalitarian followed in every case by reference salt lake area notice DECLINE IN THE WEST No 2 In more recent years. Americans may have been lulled into thinking that the New Left which caused so much havoc in America during the'60s is now moribund or even nonexistent. On the contrary, it is extremely active with amazingly slick techniques in its attempt to take over the celebrations of our starting next year. At the base of this campaign is the continuing propaganda gimmick of trying to equate the American Revolution with modern revolutionary movements. This is especially serious indeed, could even be called vicious since it is so false because it is aimed primarily at schools, colleges, students and teachers. They are particularly susceptible to this falsehood because under modern educational methods so many of them are deficient in American history and specifically in the facts surrounding the men and events of the 1776 Revolution. This leftist campaign, in reality, is a brazen hoax to equate the aims, strategy and activities of our modern leftists with the men and the movement that brought about American independence and culminated in the promulgation of our great I.
