I’ve traveled quite a bit outside the USA and generally liked the people I’ve encountered. Cultures other than our own are interesting and well worth the exposure. I haven’t traveled insulated by the five star hotel, often in Southeast Asia and Mexico, I’ve stayed in people’s homes. I can say with confidence that even those placed I’ve liked are no where close to the United States of America. Of particular importance is our freedom to govern ourselves and earn our livings. It is this Liberty Kos and his fellows want to take and replace with some form of collective society.
The progressives see the world through ideaolgical lenses. Also, most of them think that, as Lenin’s “Professional Revolutionaries” they will be spared the pain the will inflict on the masses.
