Nice smart arse comment, but if you dissent from some portion (he was a socialist, a communist sympathiser or Ned's uncle) it is easy to google and try to find actual evidence of that one or more of those as assertions is false, or not. For now I stand by Wikipedia.

Dissent. Nurture and the affect of family of origins values are huge influences on a person's belief and value system, at least according to the soft science of psychology, which the left uses to justify quite a lot of its secular humanist morally relativistic social agenda. If someone is raised in a family of socialist communist-sympathisers there is some chance that there is a likelihood that his belief system was affected by his upbringing. Given his membership in the Democrat party I'd say its more likely that the affect was to skew his beliefs leftward, i.e. towards socialistic systems, rather than the right way.
