No one's arguing against that, least not me. You called my post and probably scores of others "bizarre" because as conservatives many of us believe in fair trade. It's been simply pointed out to you that is consistent with how the Gipper felt and how Pat Buchanan and millions of other conservatives feel about the issue today.
And it's the same deal with illegal immigration. You can label it if you like... populism or whatever it doesn't matter.
For you, Buchanan(and Tancredo) are Demi-Gods. For most, he is a demagogue. This is proven by the fact that he recieved less than 1% of the 2000 vote. This is why the group that you are a member of is often referred to as the "One Percenters".
