What is it with people and the communist label? The Red Scarce, the McCarthyism, now Terrorists (who aren't new at all)--this insanity, this excuse for reaction just won't die, no matter how silly the previous episodes turn out to be. This nuttiness got us into three years of marching back and forth across the 38th parallel in Korea, ending exactly where we started. This myopia got is into the ridiculous mess of Vietnam, accomplishing nothing. We quadrupled our national debt in the 80s outspending a Soviet Union that would fall under its own structural problems anyway in 1991. The Chinese are now our largest trading partner--and the largest holders of our debt. And now we'll be in Iraq and Afghanistan forever and a day, spending away dollars and lives to accomplish...what exactly? This silly label has been stretched so wide that surely it must offend actual communists. It's an excuse for a non-argument. So let's just say for argument's sake that yes indeed, Obama is a communist. There. Done. Now what? What difference does it make? Oh yeah. None. New label, same day. Or wasn't he supposed to be a Muslim plant? Or was that Tuesdays and Thursdays? It's getting hard to keep track. Wednesdays and Saturdays he's not really a citizen, right? Or is that Sundays? It just doesn't matter. The same people will hate whatever he does no matter what. May as well be for communism.
