Yet you just said that the protectionists were a non-issue in 1861 and that the Georgia declaration recognized this. Do you now concede that they were an issue and that Georgia recognized that as well?
Your inconsistency is laughable, Walt.
Where did I say that?
You need to pick up some of this intell-ec-too-all lingo like me and Andy and Ditto and Non-Sequitur use. We is eddjicated. Heck. I can cipher to the 'rule of three'.
Use some of that Ivory Tower lingo like, "As I indicated....", or, "I have tried to suggest..."
Now, where did I even -suggest- that protectionists were a non-issue? Hey, wouldn't it be better to say "protectionism"?
It -would- suck to have some little skulldugger of a protectionist pulling at ye pant leg.
