2. Damn right we do

and I am seriously considering becoming active in the Democratic Socialists of America group. http://www.dsausa.org/

I mean, I'm reading this information and it's so damn in line with what I've always seen as America's end goal.

3. My grand father was a Socialist Union master carpenter and damn proud of it.

Course he was born in 1892, so he lived through all that stuff we take for granted now.

5. He would be damn proud of the kids now and their viewpoints on everything.

Now my parents were old Liberal Republicans. The Republicans in the south used to be the good guys, but Nixon turned them to the dark side. Good luck.
