There are no commies.
There is no boogie man hiding under your bed waiting for you to fall asleep.
If it makes you feel better, I could use socialists instead of communists. I and others have used communists to describe states with anti gun laws, such as New York, Massachusetts, etc., for years. I don't see a communist under every rock, but they are around. In fact, there have been communists in the USA since the early part of the 20th century, at least. They helped the unions organize Ford Motor Company. So, they have been with us for a very long time.
I am very frustrated by what I see happening to this country. I may be a little vocal about my concerns. I am sorry if that concerns you. You could put another label on it, if you wish. There are some good people in this country. Can you think of a better label for some of these people? I would like to believe that there are more good people than bad. Some may just be misguided. I can see how far awry things have gotten when people such as Jamie Fox, an actor, gets on stage and calls Obama his "lord and savior." I may still have that link, if you care to check it out.
One thing that is critical to a free nation is free speech. There is a representative in Georgia along with Nancy Pelosi, who would like to limit or control free speech. That is the way communists operate. They try to control what people can or cannot say. The thing that makes America great are our freedoms that are guaranteed in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those rights are being threatened. We can agree or disagree. That is also a freedom we can currently enjoy. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing. I think that having a robust discussion can foster new ideas and is one major thing that keeps this country free. There are more people with whom I talk with that are also beginning to speak out about these people who would change this country into something unrecognizable. I am not afraid of a boogie man hiding under my bed. But, there are some who call themselves politicians and representatives of the people. And, they are much worse than anything that would be hiding under the bed.
