Return of the Pinko

For what it's worth there was once a Pinko ... and he's back. Not like "he's baaaaack", but back. Maybe he was never gone, just quiet ... really, really quiet.
So, for those of you who do not know, the term "Pinko" is a 1950's anti-communist epithet used often to describe anyone who did not agree with the black list or McCarthy's campaign of absurd paranoia against any person who once wore red socks ... or sold state department secrets to the soviet union. Both of which were frowned upon in polite circles at the time, and red socks are still pretty risque in certain arenas. At any rate, much after the end of the McCarthy era in American politics i found myself thinking very unconventional thoughts ... crazy things like workers maybe should have an ownership stake in the place they work at and possibly even have some control there of, children shouldn't starve to death, "representative republic" is a dirty word and is NOT synonomous with "democracy", you know, thoughts like that .... it got so bad i gave pennies to the poor and everything. At any rate, some lovely people who thought i was a tad off center and unreasonably outspoken about it (but who loved me none the less) began calling me " The Pinko". So, here we find ourselves a decade or so later and the Pinko is back after a time of introspective silence. So, i looked inside myself and realized there was not a whole lot there to look at ... so i looked outside myself and now i'm back with all the same views about working people and feeding children and giving pennies to the poor (no need to even mention the failure of "representitive republic" to be democratic) and now i have the added support of Biblical truth and a relationship with Jesus Christ to add to the mix. I used to say that Jesus was the very first communist, but now i realize that i was never really a communist, just an uninformed christian with red socks. So that's were the name came from and where the name is now and so forth and so on.
