You, sir, have no idea what a socialist is. Believe it or not, having a low opinion of Bush does not make one a socialist. Unlike you, Reese actually examines what Bush does, and he does not like what he sees, precisely because Bush is pushing socialist policies, whilst pretending to be a conservative. To you, "socialist" is just a dirty little swear word that you use to smear people you don't like.
I happen to believe that "socialist" has a pretty concrete meaning, indicating a tendency towards big government, centralist policies, policies which Bush loves, and which Reese hates. That makes Bush the better target for the label "socialist", by far. There's nothing in Reese's writings that is remotely "socialist" - if anything, he sometimes goes too far in the anti-socialist direction. Not that that is necessarily a fault, mind you.
Go ahead and spout your ignorant, ranting nonsense. You will get socialism, in spades, and get it good and hard, precisely because you can't learn to see past the political labels to discern the political realities hiding beneath them. You are a sterling example of everything that is wrong with the GOP, and Bushbot "conservativism".
Uh, no. I believe the phrase "socialist" is if the shoe fits then you can wear it. Reese writes to one audience and speaks to another. Hearing him at one seminar and on the local radio and television when he elects to spout off convinced me of this.
As for the "Bushbot" comments, you must have me confused with one of the morons that thinks he can do no wrong. I do not trush the Bush family as far as I can throw them. The recent events since 9-11 have only solidified my views.
Mr. Reese's anti-Israel stance is part and parcel to his well remembered views one morning on the Mark Larsen show locally about 3 months ago where he said that the U.N. is much better equipped to deal with the administration of any nation that has internal political problems. When asked by the host if that theory applied to the U.S. also, Mr. Reese refused to answer (typical liberal in sheeple's clothing response). I will spout what I wish and have for months. When someone hides as a conservative, but is really something else, I believe in calling that individual out. Mr. Reese and Mr. Bush deserve nothing less. They are equal and similar in many ways. And that should terrify anyone who believes that the U.S. Constitution should be the only law for the running of our government. In other words, I just warn everyone, don't believe everything someone writes in a newspaper column, just as I would against everything written on FR. Listen to the person speak in person. Then the true colors come out.
And no, I'm not a member of the GOP. I quit the party in 96. That's when they showed their true colors to me. I was a member of the "L" party (I won't say their name) but after dealing with those idiots on a local level, I realized the "L" stood for "losers". They have no clue about winning office in the state of Florida. And that really is a shame because many of their views are quite consistent with mine. Don't assume anything about my politics just because I slam you bird dropping readings of Mr. Reese. I am probably much more conservative than you, and understand the what and why of how the GOP and the alleged "conservative" movement have allowed and encouraged the growth and merger of government and private industry into the socialist utopia that so many of these liberals dream of. Just like 1934.
