Is that in my dossier now?

Are you taking notes? Do you want me to show you my papers?

Are you in charge now of deciding what is or is not a thoughtcrime? "The CPUSA published that, therefore everything on that list is strictly prohibited." If the CPUSA spnsors a softball team am I supposed to give up the sport?

The CP is obviously going to publish a list of policies which are more in line with American values than they might support if they were operating in a Stalinist country. I concede their program would be alot more radical if they thought they could get any followers that way. They published stuff that they knew a large proportion of the American audience could agree to. Does that mean that if I agreee with any of those statemnts I am disqualified from citizenship?

I chose the items I agreed from that list because I read the items and agreed with them. I don't recall any of them as fundamentally opposed to American values, in fact, they seemed pretty tame to me. I do not discard an opinion simply because it originates from a philosophy I don't accept. I probably could accept some planks in the GOP, Libertarian or Tea Party platforms, too. But I don't think I could endorse all of them. I usually read it first and then make up my mind.
