I have issues with Socialism/Marxism too.
ER — (archived)

You forget about my family's history in Cuba, which I have written about at length here. You also forget I enlisted during Viet Nam, because I didn't feel I could dodge the draft by going to Canada with a clear conscience. At the time, I really believed Asia would go Communist if we lost there.

I am not a Communist, but I really get pissed off when righties accuse me of being one becasue I don't swallow their whole bullshit program of giving businessmen everything they want while the rest of us get to shine their shoes, wash their cars and polish their balls.
Communists want to run the businesses. I just think the businesses need to follow the rules and play fair.

As for going to Viet Nam, you never know. We are currently negotiating with them for Navy bases at Cam Rahn Bay, a place where my ship dropped anchor and spent one very scary night. The Vietnamese are as scared of the Chinese as we are and they want us as a military ally as well as a trading partner. There's a good chance there's something you own that was made there with cheap labor for an American company. Just goes to show you who the real patriots are.

As for the Indians and the Holocaust, I had nothing to do with either.

A Jesus freak President? I feel about the same way I'd feel about a President that believed in Santa Claus.
