The communist party was outlawed many years ago, primarily because the communist's wanted to destroy America.
Tell me this, then - the republicans now want to destroy America, why aren't they
being OUTLAWED?????

In 1953, if I had be a communist I couldn't have joined the Army. (that is awfully
close to being outlawed as far as I'm concerned. (ps: as was the KKK - guess that couldn't be outlawed either?)

It's not illegal nor has it ever been, to be a Communist. ...and it shouldn't be illegal to be a Republikkkan. It should be reason to see a shrink but not illegal.
