You can substitute any Democrat's name for Dick Gephardt's in the article linked below. It wouldn't mean a damn difference. Question...Would Paul O'Neil and Bono have to travel the world so much for debt relief if the U.S. and our G7 partners didn't impose protective tariffs and impose "minimum wages" on our trading partners? We've been under very heavy attack by the E.U., lead by the French and Germans.
I have maintained that our 'moral superiors', the 'progressive Europeans' are racist. Just ignore what they tell you and look at the actual results of their 'moral' policies. Getting that information won't be easy because the media is controlled by progressives, and they choose not to focus on the effects of their policies. They had a lock and a sweet deal until Fox News Channel screwed things up by focusing more on the results as opposed to spinning Democratic talking points Liberals use for their stated justifications for inflicting their policies on lesser developed countries. Fox News is the crack in the dike. Progressives like to offer 'their' filter of 'reality', and it just really messes up all their hard work to have Fox not play along.
What am I talking about? Next time you hear a Democrat lament the loss of our European allies, ask them about the effects of their trading practices.
Liberals practice racist trade, employment and currency policies designed to keep the non-Western Europeans under their boot heel and OUR LIBERALS support them and their racist policies. If it walks like a duck...
