We discuss recent findings from the MOJAVE VLBA program to examine the parsec-scale jet kinematics of a large set of radio-loud quasars and AGN. The original flux-limited sample of 135 sources has recently been expanded to include over 100 new AGN detections made by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Observatory. Our preliminary analysis based on the 3 month LAT dataset has indicated that radio-selected, gamma-ray AGN have preferentially higher jet speeds and Doppler boosting factors, and that there is a good correlation between gamma-ray emission and compact radio flux density. We discuss several other correlations involving the overall pc-scale jet morphology, viewing angle, and polarization of the Fermi LAT versus non-LAT detected MOJAVE blazars, and discuss the influence of beaming selection effects on the Fermi AGN catalog.
