Wow...I was just browsing through the available Flair on the "Pieces of Flair" Facebook application (it's really quite a fun thing, if you don't take it too seriously).I am dismayed by the number of buttons that describe Obama as a "Communist," "Socialist," or even a "Nazi." Folks - learn a little about history:

For one - make up your mind. Nazism/fascism (far right) and Communism/TRUE socialism (far left) are DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED! Hitler tied the Socialist and Communist parties of Germany to the Jews - and essentially labeled Russia's Bolshevist movement a Jewish plot. Hitler believed that Jews were a "nation without a nation"; he called them "parasites" infecting the German Fatherland. Hitler associated them with Communists because, in true Communist thought, all workers are united based upon class - regardless of nationality, religion, etc. It was these two groups' inability, in Hitler's opinion, to put the German nation above all ("Deutschland uber alles") that made them a threat to the nation's very existence. And Hitler was willing to do ANYTHING - as history has made clear - to protect the German nation (well, the people he thought belonged there).

Now Communism is Socialism taken to its most logical endpoint. There are many nations on this earth who are nominally "socialist" that most Americans don't have issues with: England is technically a "socialistic democracy" because of its program to take of its citizens from "cradle-to-grave" (socialized health care, unemployment, old age pensions, etc.). But England is not Communist: the British government does not take the earnings of all individuals, put it in a pot, and give everyone a plot of land and two cows. There are plenty of rich capitalists in England; religious freedom; free elections; and even private doctors, if you want them.

Socialism is not Communism. In Soviet Russia, the KGB spied on dissidents, who often ended up in jail or worse for speaking out against the party; leaving Russia to live in another country required the dangerous task of defection; all religion was silenced and the state promoted an atheistic devotion to State above gods; commodities were limited, as was the press and the trickle of information from the West. Separation of Church and State? Did not exist, because - in the eyes of the government - there was no Church.

Now, if you take the time to think - does it really seem logical, nay POSSIBLE, for BARACK OBAMA to take over this country, destroy its very fabric, and reverse the way of life we have had for 232 years??? A man seeking the highest office in the land who - no doubt - has been vetted and investigated by the entire US Intelligence Community (CIA, FBI, DIA, NSA)?? I mean, for pete's sake, many low-level Department of Defense employees have to have a minimum of a SECRET security clearance. Do you think your own current REPUBLICAN administration has completely dropped the ball and allowed a covert anti-American heathen with terrorist buddies to get into not only the SENATE, but a mere 270 electoral votes from the highest office in the land????!!!! FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE, THINK!!!!!! To quote Charlie Brown after he got his bag of rocks on Halloween, "AARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I have come to the conclusion that the majority of Facebook voters are very conservative...and sadly uneducated. Either that or these people simply make up a very (bored) vocal minority who have an excessive amount of time to produce hateful anti-Democrat "flair." This must be why they are voting for McCain - they don't have time to think.
