If the U.S. wasn’t engaged in international trade, why did Jefferson go to war against the Barbary pirates? Seems like the modern Trumpians would have told Jefferson to stop any foreign trading, not go to war and just build a wall around the U.S. and stick your fingers in your ears and yell ‘lalalala’ in an effort to try and pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

The cause of the war was pirates from the Barbary States seizing American merchant ships and holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay tribute to the Barbary rulers.
Who said the USA wasn’t involved in trade? I asked if IYO George Washington was a conservative? A simple question you seem to have a problem answering. What’s up with that?
Cruz voted against Omnibus but was in his campaign mode so he did not have time to speak. So Session basically was the last vocal true conservative Senator left in Congress. Rush was right.
Nobody had any problems with Rush saying how conservative Sessions is (especially on immigration). What changed? All the Trump fans were elated to even be associated with Sessions hoping he was soon to endorse their team (with the hiring of one of Session's advisers).

Now it is time to just throw Rush under the bus. Funny how that is.
