At one level it is nice that he is honest about it and admits what he is unlike the swimmer and some of his ilk.

Indeed. Honesty goes a long, long way with me. That certainly doesn't mean I would buy into this guy's socialist philosophy, but I can afford him respect for being upfront about who and what he is.

Yes, you can respect your enemies.

,He is far from the first socialist, but it is troubling that voters no longer have to be tricked into voting for a socialist. Socialism kills every society it infects. It is only a question of time. Severe socialism kills more quickly than moderate socialism.

That is why the Soviet Union died before western Europe, but western Europe is dead too, it is just a matter of time now before the socialists are engulfed by Muslims. Socialism has caused the birth rate to drop too low for recovery. Low birth rates plague every socialist nation.

The US will follow if socialism is not outlawed soon.

Who is the Guardian trying to fool? We have at least 60 socialists in the Congress right now!

The Boston Globe and the San Francisco Chronicle ran this story too. They have socialist senator envy.
