Rich:

"in contrast it is hard right, dictating what people should believe and be and how they should act, sorta like making sure we all pray every morning in school"

It is difficult to let this pass without comment. The plain fact is politics, whether, right or left, and government is all about imposing our beliefs on others.

Is making sure we all pray every morning in school any more of an attempt to impose beliefs than suspending a child who wears a t-shirt to school that says: "I'm a redneck and proud of it." as was reported in the news recently, or the kid who was suspended for wearing a shirt with a confederate flag on it.

The far left is just as willing to impose its agenda on others as the far right. This was the point I have been trying to make. In the end the only difference between communism as practiced by Stalin and his successors and what we call Fascism is the beliefs that are being imposed. Both used force to impose them.

Any fair minded person understands that the far right and the far left both try to suppress certain ideas and force us to accept others. These folks are kissig cousins.

There I finally said it.
