Once upon a time, there was a fellow who gave up economic advantage because he cared about his country. Here's his picture.

But the rest of us can't be bothered to pay a few dollars extra for consumer goods.

So, when do you think the Pat Tillmans of the world will see that the only thing that matters is lower prices to consumers?

In the world to come, explain that to him. I'd like to hear what you say.

The problem so many mainstream "Conservatives" can not think beyond what Limbaugh tells them to think. I have yet to hear one logical arguement for "free" trade as it is structured now, not one.

Wow talk about an apples and oranges comparison. Pat Tillman voluntarily gave up his economic advantage of his own free will. God bless him for that.

You're talking about taking away peoples money and choices at the point of a government gun.

That's the difference.

Now how about you try to explain to Pat how you wanted to take one of the freedoms he died to protect.

You must have pulled a muscle with that stretch.

Very Cindy Sheehan for you to drag in the body of a dead Airborne Ranger into this discussion to shame us, but I don't appreciate it. Make your argument, but please don't use pictures of our infantry dead to make your point about imposing tariffs.

Thanks for the picture of a great american hero, selfless to the end. It made my day. Please post it often and forever, that we may never forget the ultimate sacifice he made for our freedoms, one of which is free discussion herein.

I'd say: "After the enormous sacrifices you made, it's a damn shame you were killed by your own buddies."

"And what does your experience have to do with politicians stealing more money from Americans?"

I'd also say: "Did you know this Neutrino guy is using you to make bogus analogies?"

Unless you knew the man, you have no idea what Pat Tillman would have had to say about this issue.
