I understand wiki. I was taught this in Catholic parochial
school under "Rhetoric and Debating".
  Now, PLEASE.
    Let`s get on with the purpose for which this forum exists.
                                         Cheers

In the original post the poster referred to the United States as a "Socialist" country! I take high offense at that extreme denunciation as I am a veteran of WWII and associate "Socialist" with the NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY, commonly known in 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.

Also, please read <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law> before responding.
