You confuse criticism of someone's position as socialist --- and demand to be at least honest, if you hold socialist beliefs, then at least say so --- with haste of reaction. Given the time and number of posts I made on this thread, my reaction hardly qualifies as knee-jerk. present-day Republican. Suppose that is true. Help me, then, how should I recognize the "present-day Republican" position? Which documents should I read?
All you said to me therefore is this, "I don't know why, but you, TopQuark, irritate me and I don't like you."
I don't think you youself have any clue as to what you said in your post.
