2.The communists object to trade agreements for different reasons than do patriots. Do not confuse the coincidental appearance of "agreement" between leftists and conservatives with fundamental differences.

Please explain why each group objects and then we'll discuss how much they agree.

"Please explain why each group objects and then we'll discuss how much they agree."

We conservatives who are not in favor of multi-lateral "trade agreements such as NAFTA, CAFTA, and FTAA, see these treaties as very real threats to our national sovreignty. We see them as not so much about trade per se, but rather control over the people and resources of the signatories. Furthermore, such trading blocs become socialist mulit-national governments.

As for the communist dictators in Central and South America who have voiced their objections, I think they object primarily because it tends to strip power from the leaders themselves. If fully implimented, these "trade" agreements would start dictating terms to those leaders who now enjoy almost complete power.

His tagline is funny isn't it, considering that the "free traders" are the ones who have welcomed communist governments into their fraudulently named "free trade" system with open arms.

The "free traders" always try to direct the discussion away from the topic, in this case constitutional issues, into something else.
