The red scare is back, updated, buffed and redesigned for today's fear mongering. It trendy in Republican group think to label everything as "socialism", and what's funny is that they don't even see how socialism has kept into their lives in more ways than they can imagine. As much as they howl and gnash their gums, they still enjoy the benefits of many government services and program that can branded as socialism.
