It's time to revive the Un- American house committee. The threat of socialism is too great now

[Twilight Hue]

Just last year suggested by Newt Gingrich...

Gingrich: Revive House Un-American Activities Committee

I think it's a spectacularly good suggestion in light of recent events and is strongly overdue if the CPUSA is any indicator.

The right, the left and the Communist Party

Right from the horse's mouth, you will find that they are identical to the Socialist Democrats in more ways than one. That's because the CPUSA and the Socialist Democrats are essentially one and the same.

An UN-American oversight committee would definitely put the brakes to the serious threats against our economic and personal freedoms.

The good news is it is not off the table just yet as it's got the socialist left pretty worried if this leftest article is any indicator...

I'm willing to bet if it gets any worse, we will see a resurrection of the committee and I'm sure Trump will make sure it's done.

Hopefully 2020 will be a year worth looking forward to.

I agree but the antiamerican Trump lovers who hate our freedoms need to be investigated.

That would certainly take Trump down. Their mandate was communism and fascism. Trump falls under the latter.

Hey! Mr. Snowflake! This is America. We have this thing called "freedom of association." As y'all are so fond of saying, if you don't like it you can leave.

Communist Control Act of 1954 - Wikipedia is already law. But it has not been enforced. Technically speaking the CPUSA is an illegal group because should a candidate win an election they would undermine the very laws that allowed them to rise to power to begin with. So it's understandable why this act was put into place. Because of freedom of association the CPUSA has been using a loophole for 70ish years now.

My guess is nothing will ever happen with it. Unless someone like AoC or a communist party member runs for President. Then the law will probably be enforced and challenged in the supreme court. Then and only then will we have the answer. Though if groups like Antifa (which have communist ties) continue to commit violence and be disruptive that may trigger the feds to crackdown on the CPUSA.

I never leave , I stand and fight back. :O}

Anyways the freedom of Association is never mentioned in the Constitution. It has became a constitutional conflict nevertheless. The debate is actually quite interesting.

Horrible idea as it would not just net communists. American Muslims will be targeted as many see Islam as incompatible with the US and it's "values" regardless of what an individual says to counter it.

It might be noteworthy that the committee was actually set up to fight the Nazis/fascism at first.

I think the purpose was to protect the integrity and the political structure of the country that it doesn't exceed the parameters of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and to prevent extremism ie; far-right and far-left from getting a foothold.

1a and 4a. The group must be ruled a threat like a criminal organization, terrorist group, Communist party, etc.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Ok, let me stitch the hair back together:
This is America. We have this thing called "freedom of association peaceful assemble." As y'all are so fond of saying, if you don't like it you can leave.

Fight against our Constitutional rights? Are you really so scared and paranoid that you think eroding our rights is a good thing?
Do you know how much I'm going to LOVE rubbing it in that this Commie is far more pro-freedom and pro-liberty than you are?

I'm against fascism too. It's no better than socialism because it's uncanny on how similar the end result is where it would be hard to distinguish between a fully fascist country and a fully communist country. Nobody is free at the end. I think what people need to agree on are limits, and how far right and far-left you can go without compromising the Integrity of the country.

It's sad, really, that those screaming the loudest about being the strongest and proudest supporters of America and American rights and liberties are also so very often the first ones in line and the loudest to condemn and deny what America actually stands for.

 

[Komori]

that may trigger the feds to crackdown on the CPUSA.

Then they would be cracking down on themselves. Everyone knows the CPUSA is filled with undercover FBI agents.

The Unamerican Activities Committee was mainly concerned with communism because they saw it as an inroad for Russian interference in the American system. Is this really a road you want to go down? I can't see Putin's special friend Trump coming out well from this.

 

[Twilight Hue]

That was the orginal intent of the committee. It was designed to put the brakes on both ends of the spectrum fascist or communist. Either extreme is disastrous.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Y'all really out here looking back on the most vile parts of American history and wanting it back.

Not the vile parts. No.

Bringing back the committee itself? A resounding yes.

No one is advocating communism. But there's a bunch of people on the right who unknowingly are advocating fascism. The republican party is moving to the right of 'conservatism' and into the fascism realm.

For the interested: a recreation of Paul Robeson's interrogation by the house of un-american activities, based on transcript.

Do you want them to bring back the racism and the undemocratic suppression of political opposition and the university as well? I bet you would

You should look up more about the guy. He was a Stalin and USSR apologist. He supported the Red Army crushing the Hungarian Uprising. He wasn't a non-communist caught up in some purge.

Robeson was for the anti fascists. But, he was a black man surrounded by some serious morons.. I mean seriously.. Look at the boobs in the House unAmerican Activities Committee. They were like Trump.
