Blue Heron - You call the liberal (left of center) thinking people Communists. By your same way of thinking, the conservative (right of center) thinking people are Nazis. Are you a Nazi, Blue Heron, and are you calling all the other conservatives Nazis? I really do not think they are going appreciate you doing that - but you did just that by stating liberals are Communists.

You go back to the time of Franklin Roosevelt and the passage of Social Security and you will see how many people thought he was a Socialist with this idea of a Nanny State. Go back to Lyndon Johnson and the passage of Medicare and you will see the same thing. Yes, Blue Heron, you rail against Socialism but you do not want your benefits taken away. Take away your veteran benefits, too? Why not? That is a government entitlement program, isn't it?
