I believe in free markets, individual rights, freedom of religion... Read the Constitution and Bill of Rights - that's what I believe in. If that makes me a Communist, then the Forefathers were Communists, therefore you are a Communist, because some of the ideals our country was founded on came from the influences of England. I've always heard the English invented indiscretion, so they must have invented other things too (being so old and all that) , therefore must have invented Communism.
