Want to talk Alger Hiss?
The Democrats of the 50s were different. Although they had the touch of the left, they meant to do good. I can see myself vote for Lieberman, who I feel that while he has the touch of the left, he is a capitalist. Today's Democrats have moved so far left that they're alienating their voter base. The likes of Dean, Chomsky, and Jesse Jackson are running the party and it has become a nest for the ultra-left communists.
There is no difference between communism and socialism except that one proposes to enslave society by force, and the other by vote.
If you want to call me an extremist, then call Reagan, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and the rest of the Founding Fathers also extremists. I'm sorry, but I'm just not about to sing Marx's praises no matter how much good his intent was.
