Don’t know if you’ve been following the story of the Colorado teacher whose student taped him making comments about George Bush or not, but I would urge you to read this excellent piece–Apparatchik In America – The Colorado MP3 Teacher Trial, by Stephen Elliot:

Here is something else you might not know. If you like George Bush then you love Ronald Reagan. Do you know how much Ronald Reagan hated the communists? Ronald Reagan was a simple man and he based his entire life around being anti-communist. And do you know the most infamous communist was Joseph Stalin and among Stalin’s more infamous acts was his encouragement of children to denounce their elders for speaking against the state whereupon they would be arrested and sent to concentration camps and die. Children like you were heroes under Stalin. You would have been feared. Under Stalin you would have been great.
