Not being from the US, and the quote saying "anyone who visits...", what if I'm not eligible for a download? Guess that would make me "nobody", right? RIGHT?

Yes, an OS that can only be used with overpriced hardware, made by the largest company in the world, is clearly socialist.
For any Republican who dislikes Macs, OS X is clearly socialist, because "socialism" is defined in Republicanese (a language which closely resembles English, and shares most of its syntax, but has a somewhat divergent vocabulary with lots of false cognates) as "anything a Republican doesn't like." For any Republican who likes Macs, OTOH, OS X is a triumph of the invisible hand of the free market, while Windows is pretty much the second coming of Joe Stalin. Linux is always Ron Paul.
Hope this clears things up.
