you defend farm programs created by old New Deal socialists like Henry Wallace

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.

There is two arguements here as far as I can tell.

1. Is farm subsidies bad
2. Should external forces set domestic policy?

Now I can say yes to 1. and no to 2. with no problem. For some reason you think you can't say no to 2 if you don't say no to 1.

And yes the Farm Program was created during the New Deal, expanded during 40 years of Democratic congresses and the only time it was seriously challenged was during Ronald Reagan's administration. Was Reagan a Marxist then?
