Absolutely the opposite: nothing amuses me more than someone who parachutes onto a thread with a personal insult, only to claim later that personal insults indicate that one has no argument.
Well you did manage to divert the discussion away from the foolish claim that NAFTA had nothing to do with the illegal immigration that followed it, I’ll grant you that.
But then the fantasy world inhabited by libertarian bean counters has no concern over illegal immigration anyway. We used to get treated to the WSJ’s annual 4th of July demand for a “There Shall be Open Borders” amendment, at least until some of their Open Borders fans from Arabia flew the planes into the Twin Towers.
9-11 didn’t change the desire of Bartley and Gigot for a wide open border, it just made them shut up about it.
Which makes me wonder if the geniuses who support NAFTA ever figured out why Clinton and Gore were such heavy promoters of it. I guess they think that Clinton and Gore were the second coming of the anti-corn law league.
