It's fine if you oppose it as an economic system, but calling people communists simply for not following the Religious Right's definition of how the country should be run is just retarded, bigoted, and asinine, which is what most of those people are. What they don't realize is their own god boy would have opposed the capitalist system.
It's a refreshing, unexpected, and rare viewpoint for an American. And therefore dangerous!
Quote:My whole point in bringing it up was to say that certain quadrants of this country have turned witch-hunting into a practice of finding not people who might consort with the devil and practice black magic but people who would ask you to actually live up to your Christian values and standards and do a little good for other people. Socialist, communist, liberal, etc have all become synonymous in the minds of the ignorant with "anti-American." The same ignorant who some 200+ years ago would have burned witches.
A.k.a. national paranoïa = the country is very sick. And it's become epidemic.
