Bush imposed tarriffs on steel imports, hardly a free trader.

And what is your problem? you defend farm programs created by old New Deal socialists like Henry Wallace as good yet call other conservatives marxists. Have you ever studied what other countries have farm programs like ours, they are all left leaning nations.

Have you ever researched what happens when governments take an active role in farming? In the end it never ends up for the betterment of the people. From ancient Rome to 1930's Germany the little farmer ended up regreting the government involvement.

What you and Willie seem to ignore is that the industry you are trying to save was dying anyway with subsidies. There is less family farms now than there was ten years ago. Almost no one wants to farm anymore because you can't make any money doing it and that with fifty years of price supports.

You are making this up.

Do you think that a global socialist body should determine our domestic policy? I argue that the American people ONLY should determine domestic policy, working in a constittuional fashion with their elected representatives.

You are no conservative if you take issue with that.

To make a fine point of it, the federal government in its zeal to promote gobalism, is killing off major industrial sectors in this country. They wouldn't be 'dying anyway', but are being methodically decimated by the internationalists who have corrupted our government.

Through globalization the government is interfering more and more. If you defended our constitutional government from the internationalists, this might not be a problem.
