Very Rich, Elitist Socialist Ned Lamont Endorses Joe Sestak

Ned Lamont’s Family Tree. Many Red Apples and does the fruit fall from the tree?  A scion of the chairman  JP Morgan’s financial empire, the Lamont’s evolved into Socialists, very, very rich, very privileged, very elite, very well educated Socialists. Mrs. Lamont does not shop at Wal-mart.

 And now the Socialist Ned Lamont has endorsed Joe Sestak. What can we learn from that? We can learn that Joe Sestak is a very principled true believer in far Left Obama Plan for America. I don’t think Rep. Sestak makes much of a secret of his views. There is no doubt to me that he is sincere and committed to his Leftist Big Government is the solution to most of society’s problems. 

 Corliss Lamont, Socialist 

“His great-grandfather, Thomas W. Lamont, was chairman of J.P. Morgan. A wealthy progressive pacifist, he was the sugar daddy for the American Communist Party and other extreme left-wing organizations. His wife, Florence, belonged to such subversive groups as the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship and American Committee for Friendship with the Soviet Union.

Their son, Corliss Lamont, was an unapologetic Stalinist and atheist. Congress once declared him “probably the most persistent propagandist for the Soviet Union to be found anywhere in the United States.” As national chairman of The Friends of Soviet Russia, he refused to condemn Josef Stalin’s show trials in the 1930s. For 22 years, he was director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has been financed by communists and dedicated to advancing Marxism since its inception and to this day seeks to impose socialism and atheism on America. He also chaired the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee for 30 years, during which time he fought efforts to root out Soviet spies and sympathizers in the U.S. government and military. He ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate from New York in 1952 with the American Labor Party and in 1958 with the Independent Socialist Party; both parties fronted communist causes. Near the end of his life, he befriended Cuba’s Stalinist tyrant, Fidel Castro.

According to one recent commentary, Corliss’ nephew, Edward M. “Ted” Lamont Sr., embraced liberal-socialism “and passed his religious devotion to atheistic materialism along to his son.” Ned Lamont, in turn, has surrounded himself with people who may be characterized fairly as dedicated socialists and borderline communists.”
