And I too am sorry that you suffered thru whatever your government put you thru, I mean that sincerely. Just so we are clear, and for the record I was not painting all of the left with the same brush, just Communism. I have no issue with Democratic Socialism, should the people choose it, though I am completely fine with the traditional capitalism, we had before Kennedy was assassinated and we started the slide towards fascism. Communism and Democratic Socialism are different beasts but that is also where the danger lies, many communist see socialism as the palatable step to their end goal. It's not a red-scare, history is littered with the dead proof and human wreckage of the failings of communism. You would be hard pressed to convince me to give communism no matter how it is dressed up a try again, there are just too many failings and bodies along the way, many of which I have seen with my own eyes, to risk "getting it right, this time".
