I'm glad you liked that. I received that pamphlet from the last surviving MinuteWoman of the U.S.A., Ellen McClay. She turns 90 this year, bless her soul!
I know who she is.
A note for those reading along: Ellen McClay spent a lot of time in the 50's trying to tell the Los Angeles City School Board that UNESCO was evil and that we all needed to look under our beds at night for Communists. (She also thought the communists were about to take over the U.S. and make us salute the Soviet flag and say some non-existent pledge a non-existent world flag.) Is she still out in the desert looking for commies?
The Minute Women were pro-McCarthy and anti-desegregation. Members, the vast majority of whom were white, upper-middle class women, were instructed to wage aggressive phone and letter writing campaigns to support McCarthy and his ideals. They were also told to deny they were members of the organization if asked. They once had the Quakers banned from using a meeting hall in Texas because Alger Hiss had once attended a Quaker service. They were known for their antisemitism.
Draw your own conclusions...

Ah yes, the race card, has nothing to do with it. But predictable...
The UN has denied what it has been doing for years. Worked for them judging from posts like this.
McClay was right. The communitarianism-world government movement has infiltrated our military, government, civic, social and educational institutions already. What we are doing now is simply defending our rights against the bad effects it has had on society and on us in general.
Some people love their chains. McClay and McCarthy - were right.
Oopsies, looks like you skipped some relevant parts of that quote. And let's remember this is an INTERNATIONAL education system:
This is a reality, why are you afraid of learning about other cultures?
Red herring. We have always learned about other cultures.. that won't stop... and it's NOT what IB is about.
IB has ONE mission, to spread the word about world government being the next step for all countries. America is the last bastion and we won't go down without a fight.
Having said that, I was asked to sign that as part of my contract "I pledge to teach the mission of world government".
'Splain that one!
PS - I refused and told them to shove it up their communist behinds.

No they weren't anti-desegregation, silly. Perhaps you would benefit from reading Ellen's rather lengthy book:
And the Minutewoman's motto is: Defending the land we love.
Ironically, Ellen abandoned her anti-UNESCO advocacy in the mid 60's in order to return to school, raise three children and earned a living as a medical biller, all around the time IB was being hatched. It wasn't until about two years ago that she ran across my website in a comment after an article on IB in Arizona where she now resides, that she contacted me!
"The idea of a "living Constitution" which can be altered without following the Constitution's procedures as required by law, originated with the Communist Party"
Yet what has President Barack Hussein Obama done regarding:
1. Libya
2. Removing workfare from welfare
3. Granting amnesty to over 2 million illegal immigrants
Exactly that. Hollywood is fully in the communist camp and the overblown charges of McCarthyism have been perpetrated by the Hollywood elite who were targeted by McCarthy. For some reason, Progressives hang on everything Hollywood does. In fact, the Communist Party U.S.A. just endorsed Obama, doesn't that make you proud?
Haha! Look at their motto, almost identical to IBO's:
"A better and peaceful world is possible "
Progressives in this country don't see our Constitution being shredded before our very eyes. God bless this brave Minutewoman who is a patriot extraordinaire! I am honored to have made her acquaintance.
I am VERY glad you clarified your position on those two.
Repeat, proof they were right about communism was that I was asked to sign that as part of my contract "I pledge to teach the mission of world government".
Once again, I refused and told them to shove it up their communist behinds.
I don't assume they were for segregation and neither am I. (I am a minority myself BTW)
I am VERY glad you clarified your position on those two.
And I concur with NH Tea. It may be 60 years later, but NH Tea and I are today's ad hoc Minutewomen. The Democratic Party of 2012 is not your JFK's Democratic Party. Even back then, Martin Luther King Jr. & Sr. were both registered Republicans. And unfortunately, there are many 2012 Republicans who still fall sucker to being called racists or anti-Semites or McCarthyites when they try to appease "the middle" and "compromise".
When it comes to our freedoms and liberties as provided for under our Constitution, there IS NO COMPROMISE! Our Founders crafted a brilliant document which allows for amending with a 2/3 majority. We are a Federal Republic, NOT a democracy.

Dew Drop and others always love to equate pro-legal immigration with racism, segregation, and all sorts of other conjured up bogeymen.
Fact is, I'm from a family of immigrants, LEGAL ONES... and there is nothing wrong with wanting to allow hard working people into the country who haven't already broken the law to get here.
The name-calling doesn't work anymore, even though the UN set out to create a disinformation campaign by advising that anyone who threatened to reveal what they were doing as 'conspiracy theorists' and to cast aspersions on anyone who questioned them.
Another benefit of laughter is that it improves our over-all mental health. Pent up negative emotions, such as anger, fear, and sadness, can cause biochemical changes in our bodies that can produce a harmful effect.
Laughter provides a harmless outlet for these negative emotions, and provides a coping mechanism for dealing with difficult or stressful situations.Why do we laugh?
Glad to be of help.
