Both forced religion and Communism are bane to me.
re forced religion, the world knows of bow both xianity and islam came with glove and sword. today, most do not know how the Native Americans of the Southwest were introduced to the Spanish glove and sword, then the infamous U.S.Indian Bureaudid thr same, with no sword.

re Communism ..I have endured a ‘priapus’ over Communism since the day that, I, a grade school student attending the elementary school on Otis AFB, when a crazdd cigar-chomping bearded Cuban and former Harvard law student and varsity baseball player, was aiming missiles at ME!
I believe 10 minutes after the anti-Communist laws were deep sixed, they started on America.

“Both forced religion and Communism are bane to me.”
Absolutely the same here.
I knew your heritage Mr. Smith. We have spoke before. :)
