Ok Tim, here is what you said:

Also my point was not just the difference between socialist and communist but rather the fact that the threat is more from Americans who do not believe in a free market then from agents of a foreign government. I would add that it is more from the left wing of the Democratic party or from parties like the Green party then it is from the Communist party or the Socialist Workers Party or something similar. And it is one that must be faced with democratic political action not arrests or warfare.

You are saying something I agree with, to an extent, that the left wing of the Democratic party is a threat to a form of government that we have, and I prefer to keep largely as is.

But then, you remind me that democratic political action is the answer, not arrests or warfare.

Now, if it is true, that I was advocating rounding up those who have political views I do not agree with, then I think I would be a fascist. I do not have that view. I would fight with my life at risk, to defend the freedom of speech.

But, the fact that you felt it neccessary to mention that to me, suggests that you are freaking out over my political views. Like kholt has done before, where she has come out and said I want a theocracy.

I think that was an implication that I am fascist. And I objected to it.
