Ronin - I did not mean to infer that you called me all those things. I am sorry if you thought so. I personally will only counter attack after I have been attacked. I am not here to demean people. But I will stick up for myself. Which is what I would expect from anyone. If it seems like I am doing that, its because I am getting shit from all directions. Including you in the past. BUT I have noticed that you (Ronin) have stopped acting that way for the most part. I don't hold a grudge, well I try not to, so treat me like you would want me to treat you and its all good and in the past. Life is too short for petty name calling to mean much in the long term.

Now as to the use of Nazi, Fascist and what not. Well to me those words are just as bad as calling some one a Commie. Esp when that person is not a Commie, but instead just an American with views that are all over the place like many people. I don't like Authoritarian Commies, they are no better than all Authoritarians (a term that fits left, right or center) that have killed many for insane ideological reasons.
Ok, so log cabin republicans just happen to be gay republicans... BFD. I'd be more concerned with the 'swinging dick in your face' liberals that currently make up the majority of the population in San Francisco... you can't tell me that a big group of them are republican, conservatives don't act like that!

As for your commie comment, granted I didn't get into politics or really pay attention until about 2003, so I'm not as new, but one of the first things studied in my freshman Political Science class was Marxist and Leninist Communism- our professor was a bit of an expert in it as he had a PhD in Poly Sci and an emphasis in the study of Communism (he was also fmr CIA during the 1970's and early 1980's). He took great pride in teaching us the dangers of communism, and even went as far to say that democratic ideals are dangerously close to crossing over into communist mentality. I haven't spoken with him in years, but on Nov. 7th, in a successful attempt to see if he remembered me, I sent an email asking his opinion of the current direction of our country. He replied with simply "Obama, whether he says so or not, is a devout student of Communism. I've been studying communists since before graduating college in 1968, and if he is not a communist, then I am the reincarnation of Thomas Payne." Again, like I said earlier, when people who lived under Soviet rule call democrats communists today, and they would know, then it's probably not too far off by calling people commies when they display those ideals.
