My thoughts on the "everyone's a socialist" approach to commentary

Maybe not worth sharing, but for what it is worth.   I am Facebook friends with the Josiah Bartlett Center.  Josiah Bartlett is a conservative policy group in New Hampshire and it has been run by Charlie Arlinghaus, a conservative commentator who I respect.   Recently, Josiah Bartlett has trended towards a more Fox News type approach with a little more trash talking than I like and its approach has encouraged those who follow its page to be disrespectful to others who may have different opinions.  I have decided to remove my access to Josiah Bartlett as a result.  I'll still see their publications when I go on their site, but won't be faced with their opinions whenever I go to my Facebook page to see what my children have posted.  In signing off I received some discouraging remarks.   Here is my response:

No problem with info, assuming your info is accurate. Don't need the commentary. Not everyone with whom members disagree is a Socialist. Not all government programs are a waste (think bridge safety). Not all people who need help are duplicitous cheats. I don't believe that government is the enemy. I do believe it should not get in the way of certain activities, but I don't buy into the facade of a free enterprise system dependent upon lobbyists and subsidies for advantages and I don't think that not paying my fair share in taxes is an advantage.
