Reading some of the comments here, it is clear that many of us NOW see the Communist tendencies of Socialism. It amazes me that so many have come to understand Communism as some benign alternative to hard work and free enterprise. For too many years, this generation has turned a deaf ear to the warnings liberally given by the generation before about the evils and treachery of the Socialist State. To the point that many college grads have been taught to respect Communism as a viable alternative to Capitalism. Communism is the immoral half brother to Monarchy. If you are among those fortunate enough to be selected to be in that ruling Communist class.

Back in May of 1999, I made a decision to leave the Democratic Party. It was an easy decision. I had been a Democrat for 11 years. I voted for Dukakis when I was a committed leftist. But, later, when I became a pro-life conservative, there was no room for me in the party. So I became a Republican and also joined the NRA. I've been a straight shooter ever since. Excuse me if that last line sounded heterosexist. I’m a work in regress....
the gubmint has been at war with families and moral foundations for over fifty years.
