Sure. There's known radical leftists behind GNU/open source software, beginning with the "father of free software" Richard Stallman. The GNU group even has its own "Manifesto" and claims its goals are to make all software free, a move that would destroy the US software industry. Communist governments the world over all start getting this free software and like it so much they start passing laws requiring their governments to use it, Cuba, China, Vietnam, etc. Now we have the DNC here in the US committing to it and trying to pass laws here in the US as well.

Check my posting history the last few days, I've given lots of links backing all this up, just like I always have. It's a leftist plot, pure and simple. Sure, it has some practical advantages to those who want their software for free, but that doesn't take away from its leftist origins and goals of its primary supporters.

Guess what else I heard? When Clinton was in the WH they were pushing Linux. Then Bush came in and they signed a big M$ contract. Not saying the WH dropped linux, but it is definitely less of a push today at the WH then it was when Clinton was there.

Yes, by all means check GE's posting history. You'll note that you can look back through hundreds of posts, and you'll not find any posts on any other subject. Seems the only thing in the world that GE thinks is important for is trashing open source software. Kinda makes you wonder why he even comes here.
