I see Communism is alive and well in the land of fruits and nuts (Hopefully the San Andreas has a major conniption fit soon).

Conservatives always lust for death and destruction.

Well, I don't think the right has the market cornered on death and destruction - the left has more than held it's own the past few decades.
See also: Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc.

Around here, it always seems to be conservatives that want people dead.
As far as that goes, I could make the argument that all totalitarian regimes are conservative. The commies are leftists while the revolution's on, sure. But they become complete top-down authoritarians, enforcers of the dogma of the one true faith (orthodox Marxism of some particular variety), and anti-change defenders of the privileges of the elite (the inner party) once the revolution 'succeeds.'

I am looking forward to quoting this in the near future.

What you nice people don't seem to understand is that communism as practiced by Stalin and Mao is essentially right wing totalitarianism. The only thin "leftist" about it is rhetoric. From an economic perspective, it's more a form of state capitalism than it is soci@lism.
Pol Pot was just a madman who waved a red flag. He had no ideology beyond total domination and destruction.
And Boris, would you care to elaborate on your choices of those four Democratic presidents? How did they demonstrate a "death wish"?
