Free trade agreements threaten national sovereignty I opposed both the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization, both of which were heavily favored by the political establishment. Many supporters of the free trade market supported these agreements.
Nearly six decades ago when the International Trade Organization was up for debate, conservatives and libertarians agreed that supranational trade bureaucracies with the power to infringe upon American sovereignty were undesirable.

You disagree with this? As a conservative are you not repulsed by the ever greater power we give to foreign bureacrats?
I disagree with Ron Paul on isolationism, both in trade and foreign policy.
I care very much and am shocked (SHOCKED) to find that free trade is yet another area where Paul probably disagrees with himself but you have certainly sourced your claim and I will accept him at his published word on this unless and until he changes his mind.
