Nope. By the time I got done studying Dialectical Materialism and taking a look at the real world, I knew that the path to take was that of the GOP. (It was roughly around the time of the Iran-Contra scandal, and that taught me a lot. The Samozans were horrible at times but, they paled in comparison to the Sandinistas who were establishing another toe-hold in our hemisphere for the Soviet Empire. I found the charges of colonialism lodged against the U.S. to be amusing in light of the Soviets’ actual colonialism. I found the Democrats’ adherence to that to be less amusing than appalling. I figured out whose side they were on, and it wasn’t America’s side.)

Cool… a friend of mine’s sister was a die-hard commie at that same time, the Sandinistas were the most wonderful people in the world. We were the running dogs of Satan for fighting them.

I wish I knew the term “useful idiot” back then…
