Whats so important about gaining power that your country, its soldiers, and the citizens in it come second?

A world wide socialist/progressive utopia. Where 'greed' and 'exploitation' of people and mother earth are no more. Just read some of the remarks Nelson 'Cop killer' Mandela has said in the last few years. They still believe in the marxist lie that when a utopian sociallist/marxist controlling structure is in place, there will be no more exploitation and greed. As the world has learned more times then can be counted, just because you do not refer to government greed and exploitation as 'greed' and 'exploitation', that does not mean that 'greed' and 'exploitation' has ceased to occur. Just look at the excesses of any socialist ruling government. Lets randomly pick one. How about the Ba'ath party in Iraq. Gee, that would make a good case study.

On a personnal note, when the State of California impounded my old truck because I could not get it to pass the smog check, I told everyone that the police (acting on behave of the californian state government) stole my truck. You would not believe the wierd looks I got. Like gee man, the government can never 'steal'.

Control freaks are either dictators, Socialists, Communists, or Democrat leaders. That's what they have in common: They know what is best for everyone, and want to control EVERYTHING in their realm.

The real roots of Conservatism is the idea of letting the individual decide for him/herself what they want to do. I am reading "Reagan's War," where the author, Peter Schweizer, points out that this was Regan's cornerstone philosophy.

Reagan's entire life was dedicated to this core principle: Let the individual decide. Thus freed, Capitalism always outperforms any other system.

Beware of anyone who tells you how to live, what to grow, what you can't grow, or in general what to do. They're all the same.

Absolutely. I spent a lot of years fighting the "Cold War" just to see it come to roost in the Democratic party of my own country. The only difference is the faces in the party, and the adoption of a radical means of socialism instead of any semblance of American sovereign politics.

You can transpose the old CPUSA doctrine and beliefs right on to the Progressive Democratic beliefs and nothing is different at all. Whatever name they use, however they recreate it, it is still dangerous, deadly, and fickle. Right now they just ruin your career or something cheesy for differing from them. Someday, they may kill you as a product of class warfare that the socialists espouse so fondly.

The foreign aid funds from the old Soviet Union arent there anymore for the CPUSA, but the Chinese are doing well and promoting plenty of foreign aid to communists and their movements worldwide.

In my honest opinon, the investigation into Clintons funding by Chinese sources needed to go a lot deeper, and just touched the tip of the iceberg. I bet, and its just an opinion, that Chinese foreign aid is laundered and is filtered into the Democratic party at an astonishing rate.

I also see an emerging line of Chinese involvement in this affair that is just below the surface waiting to come out for some enterprising reporter. I doubt they will chase it. its up to us FReepers to dig it out and educate ourselves.

You would not believe the wierd looks I got. Like gee man, the government can never 'steal'.

I saw a bumper-sticker over the weekend that said:

DONT STEAL!
(the government doesn't like competition)
