There are the principles of the American Founding: the rule of law, individual rights, guaranteed property, and a common American identity. They bring, maintain, and defend freedom. Then there is the road to socialism: "social justice," group rights, redistribution through entitlements, and multiculturalism. They crush the human spirit, and enslave the participants. One is home-grown, secured by the sacrifice of countless generations, and uniquely successful. The other is of foreign origin, propagated around the world by political operatives, and has produced the greatest tragedies of recorded history. It should not be difficult to choose. I'm for the American Way... : > Jim

<<<For sure, a lot is asked of native-born Americans with no experience of foreign occupation or tyranny, to see all this in the same light as those who lived through it.>> In the early 60's we had the "Fair Play for Cuba Committee" with (among others) the attorney Mr.Kunstler which later defended the "Chicago 7".. I remember how much free TV time was given to the committee. A year or two later Mr.Castro declared that he was a "Marxist Leninist". Now we have a growing group including a few US senators trying to get a "better treatment" for Mr.Castro so he will "open more his society". And others criticize Otto Reich for saying ( with some questionable misinformation.<g>) that Mr.Chavez had resigned and are organizing marches around the Capitol to denounce US help to Colombia in fighting terrorists and drug traffickers. I am not so sure if "a lot is asked of native-born Americans to understand " or if a good many native-born Americans still are naive enough to think that "socialism" or "communism" are better systems and it is better to have "comrades" than "fellow citizens:..<g> Bernard
