I'm not sure how you've concluded that I am communist.  I'm not even left-wing (just ask my kids).  By your logic, we must be the Communist (United) States of America, because "united" does not imply that we are one nation, it implies we are a communist nation. Sometimes I think we are becoming one. Like when so many of us walk in lock step and vote the party line, rather than our own conscience. I refuse to do that. My vote belongs to me and I will not support Democrats or Republican if they do not provide a better choice next election. That's individualism.  That's about as far as you can get from communism.
