Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Which is exactly why the phony "free traders" created the WTO. They don't believe in freedom or the right of American citizens to levy constitutional tariffs. In fact, in Hong Kong, the most significant 'negotiation' was to force America to reduce or eliminate its tariffs. While tariffs are constitutional under American law, the phony "free traders" won't leave Americans to decide decide to keep or eliminate tariffs. The phony "free traders" want to make that decision for us.

Maybe you can explain why free traders always do better in elections than protectionists? Or, is that a conspiracy too?

Who was the last protectionist to run for president, and how did he do? What did Pat get, 0.004% of the popular vote? Yes, just another rousing endorsement of protectionism. Oh, and by the way... LOL!
