This imagined link between communism and democrats should be of no surprise. I've cried "fascism" and "imperialism" to describe republican ideology, of course conservatives are going to cry "communism" when the spector of socialism rears it's head in general conversation. It's rhetoric and perspective. Where I regard Carter as a good diplomatic president, republicans call him a disaster. Where they tout the virtues of Reagan, I see only a tool for big business and imperialism. Our perspectives and world view clearly differ in a way that renders conservative judgement completely useless to me. -- Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
