solid read.
i remember Helms' objection to a MLK holiday for the reasons stated: no other single individual has been so elevated and revered in this country to have their own holiday and the suspicion of MLK's involvement with decidedly UN-American communist organizations should have been enough to put an indefinite hold on honoring him in such a way.
what's next? Fidel Castro Day?
Helms did soften his stance on some issues in his later years. he worked with Bono to get AIDS research funding for Africa. that was an unlikely pairing, but it's proof that Helms isnt the ogre that the left has tried to paint him to be.
good lord stop trying to sound smart. Stringing together "egalitarian" and "collectivist" makes no fucking sense. First of all "egalitarian" means you know according to dictionary "Affirming, promoting, or characterized by belief in equal political, economic, social, and civil rights for all people." Pretty much ever Western nation, including ours is founded on principles of egalitarianism.
Now, "collectivist" means "The principles or system of ownership and control of the means of production and distribution by the people collectively, usually under the supervision of a government."
Now I hate to break the news to you (and your delusions) but it's impossible for the United States to be collectivist. No wonder you liked Jesse Helms. The idiot barely knew anything about the world.
Here is a proper send off to his stupidity:

That the terms and ideas are incompatible was rather the point. Which is why that thinking - a mishmash of pseudo-socialism and social marxism and one-size-fits-all "democracy" for all just creates a mess that sounds lovely but is unworkable. Beyond that your hastily researched sanctimony is boring. Tell me about "the world" when you are old enough to move out of your mom's house.
Oh, right your point was to sound like an idiot, which you still do by the way.
First of all. egalitarianism has nothing to do with socialism. Have you bothered to read the Declaration of Independence? You know maybe this part:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Oh my God! It says "all men are created equal" !!!! The founding fathers were commies!!!
also collectivism is a primary an economic system and not "social Marxism"
Also if you hate democracy there are plenty of banana republics you can move to.
You are still boring and silly as well apparently. The point had nothing to do with Collectivism, which you clearly can see. A bad choice of terms on my part - move on for Christ's sake! You only come here to be a pain in everyone's ass - it is childish and irritating. Grow up.

Which is ironic, considering her beliefs are based in logic that was displayed during the stone age.
I rest my case. You have 36 posts. You never contribute by starting a thread and only come to the Milano forum to start trouble. Disagreeing with a regular contributor is one thing. Fending off a pedantic twat is just unneccesary.
Actually I was writing star wars fan fiction in my Mom's basement.
Seriously though, if Sue wants to put her opinions out there then they become up for discussion. I don't agree that Jesse Helms is a great man in anyway but I've elcted not to mail her a pipe bomb. No sleep lost on either end I'm sure.
You have no case.
Quite the astute observation. Next thing you know, you'll be telling us the sun is hot.
*ahem*

Who starts what with who?
Perhaps if SHE didn't get so embarrassingly indignant whenever someone disagrees with her, your insipid attempt at defending her wouldn't have looked so hypocritical.

Dude, you know you would love to spank Sue with the bible while she told you the identity of her father.
