The idea that America was built on a foundation of autarky is a masturbatory fantasy which Pat Buchanan's adherents stick to.

And you have tossed in the Buchanan red herring. Have you been taking lessons from 1rudeboy?

Please note that free enterprise built America, not the falsely named "free trade".

And in Britain, how free are you all to trade? You can't even move one step without having your picture taken. How can a people who are so closely monitored believe even for a minute that they have something so powerful as "free trade"? Your Socialist Internationale Prime Minister won't allow it.

It's not a red herring. You Buchanan bastards have been spouting off this crap for years.

It was trade that built America. If you suddenly imposed tarriffs, you would find that trade restricted.

And in Britain, how free are you all to trade? You can't even move one step without having your picture taken.

Strawman argument. CCTV cameras are there to catch terrorists, muggers and those who speed, not those who are trading. It worked a treat catching the July 7 bombers.

You are truly an idiot. The two are entirely unreleated. CCTV is used, as stated, to monitor speeding, muggers and terrorists. It was instrumental in spotting those who perpetrated the atrocity on July 7.

If you're going to reply to me, don't post stupid nonsense like this.
