"You would have the livelihoods of all Americans held hostage to the protectionism of corporate patents."

Based on this statement, it's clear that you're either a Committed Socialist, or cognitively challenged. Either way, take it to DU where it belongs.

Based on this comment, it's clear you are a moron who believes in taking things out of context and pronouncing sweeping judgments.

If you had bothered to read the post you quote in the context of the whole thread, you might discover that it was a comment "in kind" to Paul Ross. He is the one who advocates leaving individual citizens to be abandoned by the US Govt. when dealing with foreign markets, but believes a 50% punitive tariff on all goods coming out of a particular country is the solution when a corporation gets in trouble.

The quote is pulled from a question to him (which he has declined to answer), as to why he wants protection for corporations, but not flesh and blood citizens. The phrasing was a mirroring of the hyperbolic language he used to address me. That subtlely was apparently missed by both Paul and yourself.
