Yankee fans and gays didn't build the Gulag and didn't kill millions of people. So, Yankee fans and gays are not as bad as Marxists. Indeed. Personally, I don't think there's anything bad about either of the former although some folks seem to really hate them. Whether the category is bad, big time evil, or benign, however, is utterly beside the point. You can't rationalize cognitive bias by claiming that the hated group deserves to be hated. It's still illogical--a cognitive bias--to claim that a Nazi can't possibly make an excellent strudel. You may not want to eat his strudel because the thought of eating a strudel made by a Nazi makes you sick to your stomach, but the strudel remains an excellent strudel. You cannot make a case that, because it was created by a Nazi, it's not a quality strudel. In any case, steps towards larger government - and it's more ubiquitous involvement in our lives - lead in the direction of marxism -- and away from the ideals on which America was founded.... and which are the reason for our success as a nation. On that you will get no argument from me.
