About your questions about the IRS, Social Security, the Department of Education, welfare, etc.---do you think the people you are talking about even REALIZE that all of these programs are unconstitutional? No! They are so used to living in a country where this stuff is accepted that they don't even realize that these programs threaten the republic.
If they got educated, most of them would realize that they are being led down a road they don't really want to go down. Like Joanie and ForGod'sSake said, they are "useful idiots" who don't know any better. They aren't avowed socialists, they are socialists by default.
Let's agree to disagree. We don't need dissention in the ranks right now. :-)
Sorry Les, have to agree with the Minuteman on this one.
He nails my exact experience dealing with supporters of the Left around me & the essence of the term useful idiot with his statement.
However today's Liberal-Socialist merits a new distinction, so in as much as they're useful idiots?
...they've also become dangerous ones.
