Socialists Do Not Believe in Private Property Ownership

E-Mail to talk show host Mike McConnell:

I was listening this morning to your explanation of Senator Rand Paul's position on civil rights, for which he has recently been chastised.

You were making the point that there is a difference between private and government establishments. Government has no right to control membership and admission of private clubs or businesses.

During that section, you also had a phone conversation with a socialist caller, which seemed to go nowhere.

I now make a suggestion of the major reason why there is wide divergence of opinion on the part of the public concerning this issue.

SOCIALISTS DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE CONCEPT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY. For Socialists which are now generally Democrats, private property does not exist. All property belongs either to the state (socialism) or to the people (communism).

As long as socialist Democrats maintain this position, there is no basis of discussion along the line of differentiating between government controlled and private controlled property. I suggest you should have called the telephone caller a socialist and say also that you don't discuss the misguided merits of socialism at this time.
