Reply to "Should we be celebrating Helen Keller?"

This is all too funny. Since mid-20th century Asian, and Russian Communism was totalitarian it was NOT neccessarily the ideology we were fighting - it was the fact that those regimes/dictatorships gave no voice to the opposition. WE supported the opposition and fought to free people from regimes that denied them proper representation and political freedom. Of course we fought Communist totalitarianism and agression. But some of our allies, England, France, Italy, etc. all indulged in experiments with Socialism yet fought with us against Communism (although all three of the nations still have Communists in their governments -(minute numbers).
There seems to be a disconnect here between political freedom and deeds of great bravery and a great contribution to society. Helen Keller was a great woman and an American. Her interest in a failed political ideology is of no interest to me and clearly of no interest to the Federal Government.
