In the original post the poster referred to the United States as a

English as the NAZI PARTY. I think it an insult of the first order
to associate our country with something as vile as the NAZI PARTY!
This is a straw man argument. The original poster does not associate
socialism in general with the Nazi party. You're acting as if he
does, and the consequence is that you feel insulted.
To stop feeling insulted, simply recognize that no insult has occurred.
