A lot of libertarians think McCarthyism was a dark period in American history. I'd say that anytime the government engages in a witch hunt, things are awry. Funny how you have no problem with this kind of a witch hunt, but a huge one if your 'right' to own an assault rifle is infringed upon. (Right is in quotations because there is disagreement as to whether or not that is a right. I do not choose to endorse it as such.)
And by the way, socialism != communism. They are two different ways of approaching the same problem. Don't equate the two.

What? Repond by not capturing bin Laden? How about not being able to deal with asymmetrical warfare, instead continuing to endorse ideas like national missile defense, as if it could do something against a terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon. Or how about continuing to misunderstand the emerging nature of conflict inherent in the very real threat from al Qaeda, and, instead, focusing on a supposed threat (and, as yet, unsubstantiated - when was the last time Iraq attacked the US?) from another nation?
