The subject in the original converstation was the article by the Communist Party USA saying they helped elect Obama, and now that the Communist Party USA sees the door open to push their beliefs in the upcoming November election.
My response was to Yoda asking if that surprised me. The word
that in Yoda's question goes back to the original subject of the Communist Party USA helping elect Obama et al.
But somehow you take one part of what I said and find a question in it without actually addressing the subject.
I don't know if that is on purpose or not.
But it really, really emphasises the confusion and aggrevation part of my actual statement responsing to Yodi asking me if I am surprised by the Communist Party USA stating they helped get Obama elected: I'm not surprised. Sickened? Yes. I am confused by the blindness of other people who call themselves Americans and claim to love this country and the principles she was built on. To be honest though, my confusion is turning into aggrevation at their seeming unwillingness to read, research and educate themselves. I guess it just goes back to my realization that some people just want to sit back and be spoonfed and not work for anything on their own.
It just seems that you didn't read the subject, Communist Party USA statements, but instead you read what I wrote and found a way to pull something out of context and change the subject. Trying to understand why you would do that confuses and aggrevates me.

Trust me I read the subject....but honestly I have a fundamentally different view on things like this. I purely dislike the Westboro Church and what they do at the funerals of fallen soldiers. I hate that what they do is covered under Freedom of Speech, hopefully the Supreme Court will change this in the future. So the Communist Party of the USA still is afforded, in this country, freedom of speech. It is their right to say whatever they want to say. Doesn't make Obama a communist.... And its not something to get my shorts in a twist about. Many others things that are more important.
In another thread you and I discussed a similar issue.... I have 3 nephews currently serving in the military. But I protested the Iraq war you questioned how I could do that? I believe we have a duty to protect our troops and their service and because of that I protest any war that does not fundamentally protect the United States. Doesn't mean I am UnAmerican.
Do you think that we didn't say many of the things you are saying now 8 years ago. I remember saying I want my country back.
If you and I sat down and actually talked about the issues you would be surprised on the number of issues we could find agreement on.
Surely don't mean to aggrevate you.....
