Sure, and it makes the rallying cry “Buy American!” pretty hard to follow!

You forgot to mention, that it demonstrates how far globalism has already gone...

Cheers!

I figured it out: Mojave is deliberately confusing NAFTA with NAAEC*. He was counting on people not to understand the difference.

That being said, I'm fairly positive that NAFTA (that Ronald Reagan initiated and George H.W. Bush signed) has environmental provisions also . . . but no one will bother to tell us what they are, or the ones they want to talk about. Probably because the rest of us (if we so choose--it just won't be as fun as it was last night) could then actually determine the provisions' history.

What's illustrative about this thread is the lengths to which our budding FR Bolsheviks will go to make certain the federal government sticks its nose in our business: Reagan was a Hero of the Fatherland because he slapped tariffs on motorcycles--but when he reduced tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products he gets airbrushed out of the picture.

Even the airbrushing isn't that good. "Reagan wouldn't have approved of NAAEC, so he hypothetically (let's stay focused) would've rescinded his approval of NAFTA." C'mon, Mojave, step it up a few notches.

*Of course, now that I have done the legwork, the frantic Google searching will begin anew.
