I will bet you my life that you had know idea she was a Socialist before you read this thread. If it's not such a big deal then why is it that 90% of people don't know it? Why do they fail to teach about the socialist part of her life when teaching our children in school?

What if George Washington had been a socialist?

Admit it, you just received an education free of charge and you are in shock and don't know how to respond. Thats ok, just read more on the subject before you begin ranting.


Better be glad you did not make that bet - I was aware of Helen Kellers political affiliations. I just dont give a ****. She had every right to her political philosophy - just as you do. It in no way changes her contribution to the deaf and blind in our country. Wonder why the only thing we hear of is this contribution and not the politics? Because its a footnote, not really very relevant, and those who are obsessed with it HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO WORRY ABOUT. Get a job, go work with the deaf and blind, iron clothes, but for Gods sake, stop digging up 50yr old trivia looking for an enemy of the state.
