No problemo! There's nothing to get over, except the surprise at discovering another nest of socialists on Free Republic.
I knew a helluva lot of WWII vets that once would take great exception at that statement. In fact, a statement like that to them would be very hazardous to your health. I know a few now in their 80's that can still jeopardize your health. I know a lot of Boomers that would take the same actions. Keep it to yourself.
Some of us can decide to become Socialists at 62. :)
