Not that long ago Americans openly rejected socialism and communism.
Now the communists are holding awards ceremonies and concerts in public high schools and openly honoring state labor leaders.

The Voices for Jobs, Equality & Peace – People’s World Amistad Awards Concert was held recently at the James Hillhouse High School auditorium in Connecticut.
Is this the change we’ve been looking for?
P/Oed Patriot reported:
On Sunday, December 5th, 2010, the Communist Party USA(CPUSA) News, People’s World, held the People’s World Amistad Awards Concert in James Hillhouse High Auditorium.
According to an Article in People’s World, one of the recipients of the CPUSA award was the Connecticut Chapter President of the AFL-CIO, John Olsen.
John Olsen has a long History with not only Unions, but the Democratic Party as well, which his AFL-CIO Bio will attest:
“Mr. Olsen has more than thirty years of political activism and volunteerism. He was a member of the Democratic State Central Committee from 1982 to 1995, served as Chair from 2001 to 2002 and was Co-Chair of the State Central Platform Committee. He has been on the Democratic National Committee since 1996. Mr. Olsen, a native of Greenwich, served on the Greenwich Democratic Town Committee from 1978 – 1993 with one term as Chair and one as Treasurer. He is involved in his hometown Democratic Town Committee in Clinton since 1996.”
John Olsen was also a Super Delegate in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention where he voiced his support for Hillary. He later threw his support behind Barack Obama.
…While accepting the CPUSA People’s World Amistad Award, Mr. Olsen expressed different feelings….. his appreciation for the Communist Party:
“Anyone who stands with me for workers’ rights, I stand with them,” said John Olsen to loud applause as he acknowledged the Communist Party and took a strong stand against fear mongering and baiting, including the anti-socialist baiting of President Barack Obama.”

Gee, how did I know that James Hillhouse High School was in New Haven, Connecticut, even before I Googled it to verify my suspicions. I figured that it had to be either Hartford or New Haven, for reasons which I’m too, um, politically correct to mention.

I am looking forward to the day that the little commie’s leader has been voted out of the white house and off to Kenya where he is already building up his war chest with our money that he keeps sending to kenya. Hopefully, the little retarts will crawl back into their little world and stay there.
The biggest commies we have is the supreme court justices! TRAITORS!

The Communists are coming out of the closet. They’re taking off their masks.

As long as comrade Obama is at the helm communists will become stronger and less afraid to show themselves.

Related, and via Instapundit;
Card check has been enacted through regulation. Tuesday, the National Labor Relations Board upheld Card Check as a legal organizing tool so long as the employer and union organizers enter into a “letter of agreement” in advance.

Except that they probably will not let the boy scouts use the school gym. They are bigots after all because they don’t allow atheists or gay scout masters.
Boy Scouts NO. Communists YES.
Your tax dollars at work.
