I often get that reaction, from people who can't refute what the original post said. The more truculent among them, usually attack the messenger instead.

Perhaps because you make yourself the target by making the thread about your 'colourful' views, not the topic itself.

That is to say, you are using the annual Thanksgiving celebrations as a launchpad for some ideological partisan rant... that is tiresome and tends to make you the target and focus of the issue - perhaps because there is so little content to otherwise discuss... just fervent and anxious prose.

Just speculating of course...

Back to the subject:
Socialism is usually practiced by people who either don't look back into history to see what its results have been in the past, or by people who DO look back but then come to the conclusion that they can do better. That would be OK if they were simply playing with a chessboard or something. But all too frequently they try to impose their "new" experiments on entire groups of people. And when they manage to do this, horrors usually result, as they did to the colonists in the New World.

Bemused giggles. Do you actually believe this crap that you are making up? Have you ever interviewed, for example, Lenin's comrades? Or perhaps Castro's? You seem to have a remarkable knowledge of thier motivations.

Fortunately, the colonists were honest enough to see the error of their ways, and change course to a plan that worked.

And we all know the Mayflower was chock full of hard-core Marxists and Fabian Socialists... luckily America, the indians and a harsh winter taught them to repent of their evil ways... and no doubt they burnt their little manifestos to keep warm over those long winters...

But many other socialist groups have not been, from the USSR to Nazi Germany to Cuba. And the modern liberals of the U.S., from Howard to Hillary to John to Jesse, appear to have their blinders on just as rigidly. Even China, which has been allowing increasing amounts of capitalism, only did so after several bloody purges whose victims numbered in the millions.

A free press is vital to the search for past precedents that can guide us away from failures. Publishing the memoirs of such failures as the early colonies, must go on despite the sneers and slime of those who try to pretend that publishing them is wrong.

Was there a purpose to this little speech?

Like, how did you go from Pilgrims to Nazi Germany to Howard, Hillary, China and the wonders of non-regulated publishing companies all the way to 'slime'... rather remarkable if there was a point to it all...
