I guess you have to publish Matt Grocott because you can’t find any intelligent conservatives. Mr. Grocott proves that “socialism,” in his column “Socialism in America” (Daily Journal, Aug. 27 edition) is a slur devoid of any meaning used by far-right-wing fanatics in an attempt to tar their political opponents. Grocott clearly doesn’t understand the difference between communism and socialism, nor the difference between democracy and authoritarianism. His column drifts further into complete nonsense when he starts talking about the money that Biden and Obama make, neither of whom are socialists.
But if name calling in the newspaper is where we are going these days, as long as Grocott and his fascist ilk call their political opponents “socialists,” I’m proud to bear that label.
Chuck- it is people like you who throw around the word fascist that are the problem in America today. If you can't handle a differing point of view, can't give an intelligent defense of your opinion and use personal insults to criticize the messenger, you know you are on the individual who has the problem.
