My take on it on the parts I disagree on -


1) Coexistence: I'd say full success here if you include China

3) "moral strength": Partial Succes In progress - we are now a perfessional army and a much smaller army

6) American aid: I'd say partial success here - we have a lot of $$$ tied up over there right now.

9) Prolong the atomic conferences: Success - They are still ongoing - now with N. Korea even
10) Representation in the UN: hmm. have to think about this one
11) One world government: "In progress" would be better I think. Look around - Europe and the European Union. Bush just made Canada Mexico and the same nation practically (what is he thinking?). Kerry and party wanting to give powers over to the UN and even the World court. It is happening.

15) Capture political parties: Success - Democrats has a very Socialistic approach. Hillary has made some Communistic type statements about redistributing the wealthy's money, etc.

16) Civil rights abuse: Success - We hear how the ALCU did this and that every day in the name of Civil Rights. Can't even display a religious symbol on public property for example.

17) Get control of the schools: Success - It is all you hear out of Universities now. There are even cases of people failing if they state they have any conservative feelings. Its ugly.


19) Student riots: Success - Vietnam is an example
20) Infiltrate the press. Success - They push very Solcialistic views on a daily basis.

21) TV: Success - Desperate housewifes is an example

22) Degrading all form of art: dont know/Highly subjective - I agree, but art lately is well, not art to me - its Ugly!

23) Control art critics dont know/Highly subjective - I agree again, but I'd say success due to #22.

28) Eliminate prayer in schools: Success. It is not permitted in public schools here
.
29) Discredit the American Constitution: Mostly a Fail - Agree though it is under attack daily.

32) Centralized welfare: Partial Success - half is still controlled by a given state, some is private, some controlled by US Gov.

33) Eliminate laws which interfere w. Communist: Partial Success - but this is dependant on perspective so highly subjective to what law you are looking at. If its free trade for example, or if it's outlawing the Communist party is another.

34) Eliminate Committee on Un-American Activities. Success - There is no committee anymore if one existed at one time.

37) Infiltrate big business: Partial success??? - some companies are touting Socialistic ideas, and even central control. Software comes to mind.

38) Powers of arrest to social agencies. Success. Look at SPCA or even mental institutions.

40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. Success
41) raise children away from parents: Success - Most families have 2 incomes and children are raised by Daycare with their own state guided way of raising them.

42) violence is American tradition: Success - Look at Hollywood.

44) Internationalize the Panama Canal. Success - I think Panama is in control of this now and it is an international waterway

45) Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike. Fail - but possibly in the near future this will be a success - Kerry wants to transfer power to the World Court, but this hasn't happened yet.
