Shades of McCarthyism and the cold war!
Will the stupidity never end?
Just be a progressive, ala Teddy Rossevelt or FDR, and the idiots on the right will label you a card carrying communist.
On what basis?
On the basis of their own idiotic and warped thinking!
If you don't goose step to their ultra conservative, right-wing tune, prepare to be denounced as the lowest of the low as far as their world-view is concerned. If anything favors the savaged 99% who are not among the privileged rich aristocracy, it's automatically relegated to socialism, and the worst of all socialism -- communism.
I guess that makes me a communist, although I've never been acquainted with a known communist and wouldn't even know or want to find out where to start to get in touch with the Communist Party, which is not exactly a monolithic entity here in the USA -- and most of the rest of the world.
My shock, indignation and, thus this blog, resulted from this article I just read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/11/allen-west-democrats-communist-party_n_1417279.html
Can anybody really be that stupid?

SEDONA/VERDE VALLEY SECULAR FREE THINKERS
I've mentioned before that several of us atheists, secularists, free thinkers, etc. have been meeting locally to hash out the details of the new group we were attempting to get off the ground. We had another meeting today and settled on the name: Sedona/Verde Valley Secular Free Thinkers.
Our new organization will be aligned with the Secular Coalition for Arizona which is in turn aligned with the Secular Coalition for America.
Now we can begin to do some cooperative work and will hold our next get-together, a potluck, on April 7. Much still remains to be ironed out and set up.
This is very exciting to me. It wasn't too long ago that I felt very isolated and alone. Now, I have a very real social and action group to be affiliated with in a meaningful way.
The pendulum has swung way too far to the right and into fanaticism. I saw that coming way back in the late sixties or early seventies when I attended an "Up with People" concert and commented to my then wife that we were headed into a right wing surge. I was more right than I could have imagined. I sense now a very real swing to the opposite direction beginning.
I intend to be right in the middle of that swing and doing everything in my power to promote it!

HOOOORAYYYY!!!
Once in awhile there's a bit of good news! I just learned that the number one crazo on the Rethug lineup -- Michele Bachmann -- finally saw the handwriting on the wall and threw in the towel. Let's hope the next craziest in line, Perry, has the same good sense.
Not that the rest of the ultra right wing nuts aren't just about as crazy as she; she was just the craziest of the lot. At least the collection of targets is now a little less for thinking people to concentrate on defeating.
