It seems the American people have forgotten about a pesky thing called the constitution. Our leaders have all sworn to uphold and defend the constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. Well communists and communism are directly opposed to the constitution so how can they then fulfill their oaths?
These things are diametrically opposed to each other and as such communists should be rejected from office as soon as they are found out. If they have supported communism even in the past it ought to be enough for us to prohibit them from being part of our government. This does not mean they are not citizens. It does not even mean that they do not have a right to their beliefs. It only means they should have no place in the leadership of our government.
In Hamilton's day it was expressed that if anyone was found to be a monarchist even after becoming president that they should be impeached. The reason for this was quite clear. It was because it was not possible for a person to support or believe in a monarchy and not oppose the constitution. It was in no way an issue of free speech in our founders minds. It had to do with defending the country and the laws of the land. In their minds the law was above all men and all men under the law were equal. There were not special rules from some and different rules for others.
We only need to look at other nations that have tried communism and socialism to see that they all have 2 sets of laws. One set of laws is for and by the ruling elite, which always rises to the top and the other set of laws was for what might be termed the common people.
It is sad but true that we already have much the same situation today. Congress constantly passes laws which we are expected to abide by but which they make clear they are exempt from. This was not what our founding fathers every intended and we need to put a stop to it if it means voting out every person in office till they start to follow the constitution again.
