Very good. Maybe you laid this trap that liberals walked right into,
or you explained a concept that liberals failed to recognize, but
whether it was purposeful or not, you got the libs perfectly which
allowed them to expose their acceptance of Communism.
As you mentioned, the use of certain words turns off logical thought
in some people. Communism is all about us now, but its called many
things other than what it really is.
