"UN Globalist". Now you're being really ridiculous.

I have no great love for Chinese products or the government factories that produce them. Consider, however, that there are a few of you on FR who are out there practicing knee-jerk protectionism, and making it sound as though trade is a bad thing in general. You should aim your shots precisely rather than attacking all offshore activities with a broad brush. Otherwise, your generalizations and exaggerations will be little different those used by the liberal bloggers and propogandists like Michael Moore.

Think about it.

The Democrats approach to business: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."---Ronald Reagan

If it faces competition, make broad generalizations and whine.---Free Traitor Posters on FR

Perhaps one of the reasons it is hard for folks to practice "knee jerk protectionism" is that it's becoming increasingly more difficult to find products made in America. We're finding ourselves in the position of Britain, in which we depend on the outside world to supply our needs. This nearly killed them in World War I but the U.S. saved them by entering the war. Who'll save us?

Thomas Jefferson wrote in a September 28, 1821 letter, "The government of the United States, at a very early period, when establishing its tariff on foreign importations, were very much guided in their selection of objects by a desire to encourage manufactures within ourselves."

Today, China and India have severe trade restrictions to protect their domestic industry.

The free traitors feed and nourish the Chinese Dragon as they strangle and starve the American Eagle. Ultimately, free traitors will be ashamed to ever admit their despicable views, even to themselves. They will hide their loathsome treason, but the stain upon their character can never be fully expunged.
