Obviously, when they use these freeware products instead of buying our for-sale products, they get something from us for nothing. And I don't condone subsidizing communist governments, for any reason, ever.

For starters, they are not going to ever buy our for sale products. Pirate them perhaps but not buy. We've lost *nothing* there. If this country, en masse, were to walk away from OSS nothing would change. It's a world-wide thing and it *will* continue to grow. Governments are going to adopt it. Matters not what political leanings they have.

they are a dangerous group that continues to hold a significant amount of public offices in this country

And they are slowly beginning to lose them. They courted the lunatic fringe and veered too far to the left. Way too far. If you fear a resurgence, look no farther than a red state/blue state map and the state of the mainstream media.

Sounds like you've been confused for some time, especially with a handle like that.

Not at all. Turning my back on the party was a fairly straightforward decision and quite an easy one to make. All I had to do was see how "Real Democrats" like Zell Miller were being marginalized in favor of buffoons like the Clintons. I wish people would cease calling it the Democratic Party as it no longer is such. It's simply a mish-mash of Socialists and the useful idiots who support them.

Then they don't deserve crap from us. Especially not our welfare in the form of software subsidies.

Ridiculous.

MSM is and always will be leftist. If you think you somehow scored a point claiming otherwise, think again.

You are actually right about the 'useful idiots', who support them and their goals. Obviously, this is just another example of that.
