On #1 — keep the money in the country and in the U.S. economy. Don’t ship out profits to overseas entities. In the end, if foreigners gain from it and suck the money out of the business and economy, then it’s no good.
It’s the same thing I see with the cheap goods from China, with the Communist Chinese sucking the money out of our economy (so we can get cheap goods, dontcha know...) and they use it to fund their military who is gearing up to fight us in the next big war we have with them (according to their generals who are getting ready for it...).
On #2 — I see a lot of rich Arabs and other oil-rich Middle East entities getting their money from “somewhere”.... dontcha know... LOL... And I know that money goes to fund terrorist who fight us around the world (plus fighting other “Western” interests, too), and fighting us over here in this country. And they are also using our money in that regard to infiltrate us here and set up mosques and grow more “home-grown terrorists” whom we will be fighting on our own soil in a few years...

If we didn’t have profits going to foreign entities (whomever they are), we would be a lot better off with our own values in this country. We’ve sold our souls for a mess of pottage...
1) Lots of that money stays right here in the U.S. when the line workers and hundreds of connected small businesses/vendors/wage earners get paid/sell products and services.
2) Ridiculous. Unless you want to ban the internal combustion engine, limiting who we buy oil from will simply cause a shift in the market supply until it all evens out again and the exact same amount of money will be going to the “Arabs”.
By the way, I took the quiz on your profile page.
1) I came out a FreeMarketer, though I think that is silly as well since after looking the description of each type of conservative I fit them all.
2) Did you notice the one question has a flawed choice? Bring a video camera to the immaculate conception? Do we really want to see an amateur porn video of Mary’s parents in coitus?
