Relax, bro

You know RR was no big fan of Commies. Thats why we hardly traded with them(USSR) during his time. To say someone is a not a 'conservative' because they believe in not trading with commies is silly.

It's a big tent. If you want your 'conservatism' to push open markets with communist countries go for it. However, there is also members in the 'tent' who consider 'communism' bad, and would respectfully disagree.

They(I), would rather, have the country change before you trade with them. If not, once they have you entangled in 'trade', they will not change.

I think there was stuff from China coming into the US when Reagan was President...

Are you saying that those who believe in the freedom to trade consider 'communism' good? Doesn't sound very respectful to me.

If not, once they have you entangled in 'trade', they will not change.

Are you claiming that China is the same as it was 30 years ago? 20 years ago? 10 years ago? Hasn't changed a bit, huh? China allowed their people to own property 30 years ago? People could choose the jobs they wanted to work at 30 years ago? China had entrepreneurs 30 years ago? Did China have a stock market 30 years ago? Were Chinese individuals motivated by profit 30 years ago? Did western culture influence China 30 years ago?
