I have long talked about the Democratic Socialists of America and their Web site. It seems as though Americans just don't seem to want to take a look at what's going on at dsausa.org. I got to wondering on one of my nights that I wasn't sleeping very well. I guess it was bothering me that the liberals are deconstructing our Constitution, so I was doing a little research to figure out what they were thinking. I went to their Web site, the Socialist Web site, and I just typed in ``Socialists in America,'' dsausa.org. What I came up with was this Web site that said, Here is what we want to do. At first, the definition in there says, We are Socialists. We are not Communists. Now, I always want to trust those people who start out their introductory paragraphs with ``I am not a Communist.'' Okay. Well, tell me why you're not. Now I'm really interested, and I'm not actually sure after I read it. Well, Communists, they say, want to nationalize everything right down to the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker. Socialists really don't want to do that. They just want to nationalize the Fortune 500 companies and anything else that's in their way.
