Hamiltonian internationalism is the political science term hung on the necks of conservative internationalists; I would embrace it since it allows you to claim some lineage with the founders and shed the Rockefeller Republican thing.

I consider the socialists the less radical of the Marxists. I consider a socialist anyone who believes that something other than 'liberty' is the proper end of government and has no real objection to the enforcement of the socialist agenda from DC.

I am partially dyslexic and when I don't have time to proof read like in between meetings, it does all go to hell.

There is no "Rockefeller Republican thing" for me to shed. He never had enough influence to even get a nomination much less stop the Party from pursuing entirely different courses from that he would recommend. It is a meaningless term to any who know something about the history of the GOP. Even if it weren't it has no relation to me or anything I have ever said. Certainly President Bush is not in that camp though his father leaned slightly in that direction prior to becoming VP. Nor is there any political scientist (LaRouche doesn't count) who calls Hamilton and internationalist. He was a Continentalist.

"Liberty" can never be an end of government though proper government must not arbitrarily and unnecessarily restrict liberty. It is sheer rhetoric used mainly by those unaware that government 200 yrs ago was far more repressive of liberty than ours is today. The ability to escape civilization and run to the wilderness is no longer an option and that was the only true "liberty" possessed by (some of) our forefathers. If you want to examine some real idiocy and lunatic beliefs our nation's history provides excellent examples. Crackpot ideas were a dime a dozen and mostly swarming around the proto-DemocRATs, the Jeffersonians, of that era. Lying press, cheating politicians, corruption and character assassination all were part of the DemocRAT-Republican arsenal. Today's RAT is an direct descendant of the conniving cheating RAT of Burr/Jefferson/Clinton/Tammaney.

Aside from all that your definition of socialism is not only incorrect but meaningless which explains why you are confused about the agenda from DC. There is NO agenda from DC merely from the representatives of the American People. Thus, it can be truly said the agenda of the People itself.
That is what must be changed if it is not to your liking. Any idea this is imposed upon an unwilling population is silly. Unaware or unthinking perhaps but not unwilling.
