really, all this blah blah blah socialism blah blah blah from the right is about red-baiting. good old fashioned all fascist american red-baiting. and it's no surprise given that the daddy of the koch brothers founded the john birch society.
what's a bit more surprising is discovering that despite the myriad economic catastrophes caused by conservative economic ideology that people still repeat it as if it has anything to say about the way out of the current mess we're still in. it's more a map of the ways of thinking that caused alot of the mess. but the right has somehow managed to persuade itself that it's not linked to the policies of the bush administration or to the history of the new ultra-right since the reagan period. go figure.
