Quote:You're the one that caused offense by calling our custom regarding THE FLAG, THE PLEDGE and THE NATIONAL ANTHEM "commie".  I get that you're a brit probably still bitter that we succeeded in defeating your commanders and leaders and earned our freedom.  I get that you are probably jealous that our country was able to do so, then turned around to become the greatest country on earth.

 

It has nothing to do with being PC or "offended" in the liberal way.  However, those of us old enough to know what communism was/is back in the cold war and prior will never let that happen here (though there are some that want that nonsense here).

 

If you want to take a real close and hard look at what communism is all about, take a look at North Korea or Cuba.  Our country is not nearly as bad off as those countries and we don't impose anything near what they do.  If you want to take a look at a combination of communism and socialism, take a close look at Venezuela and see what's going on there.

 

I will call anyone that disrespects and/or rejects our patriotic customs a "commie" because those idiots think that there's a better way.
