Communists, yes, but dictators as a general rule don't like people talking badly about them. I think we can agree that it's not a good idea for, let's say, an Iranian to mouth off about Amedinnermint, and Iran certainly isn't a communist country. Yes, this probably has been blown out of proportion, but that's the Internet for ya. I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless the Supreme Court says it’s constitutional, as then we’d be stuck with it until we replaced enough congress members to repeal it. That's if it even passes in the first place. You gotta remember, too, politics are about fear these days. Remember how it was being said that “Obama care would destroy the healthcare system and kill grandma?” I haven't any of seen that happen yet, but it illustrates my point perfectly. Everybody please just take a chill pill.
