Sybren and I posted the sign above at our property in September. We are supporting Trump & Vance.
"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
~Abraham Lincoln
"If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted...If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."
~Noah Webster
Both Abraham Lincoln and Noah Webster understood that our country's laws had to be based upon principles external to the whims of man. Those principles rest upon our Judaeo-Christian heritage as enshrined in our U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
Two years ago this month, The Brenham Banner Press published a full page list of the 45 goals of the Communist Party. Reading through the list, Sybren pointed out to me that it's easier to see what they have accomplished than what they have not. These goals were published in 1963. The list is below.
My first class on Biblical Citizenship that I taught with Bennie Yates paid our newspaper to print this list. With voting in full-swing, it behooves all of us to read and share it.
Before reading the list, consider the policies of each party. Which side stands for law and order? Which side stands for property rights? Which side stands for life? Which side stands for the first amendment? Which side stands for the right of self-defense (the second amendment)? Which side stands for parents' rights to decide their children's education? To decide their medical care? Which side supports energy independence, the key to economic prosperity?
Which side believes in open borders? Which side stands for wealth redistribution? Which side wants to tax your investments on unrealized gains? Which side wants to censor churches and individuals? Which side wants to use Big Tech corporations to control our behavior, even our speech and thoughts? Which side wants to encourage the normalization of pornography and pedophilia? Which side wants to legalize drugs? Which side encourages unreliable energy such as wind and solar? Which side wants to stop manufacture of gasoline and diesel powered machines, including cars? Which side wants to destroy western civilization?
The bottom line: Communism is the chief adversary to our republic, the Christian religion, even Judaism.
If you consult a dictionary, one learns that our word adversary is "Satan" in Hebrew. Given what we know about Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler, these human adversaries to humanity all subscribed to the tenets of Communism.
The path to victory is to uphold what our Constitution protects, most importantly our right to worship and right to exercise our religious freedom, our right to speak, associate, and petition for redress of grievances, and the right of the press. Choose the Constitution.

45 Goals of Communism
What follows is a document published in the Congressional Record of the U.S. Congress, Thursday, January 10, 1963.
"Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker,
Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published The De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following: "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen: CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS.
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. 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.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
