What kind of a moron uses coffee and cocoa as an example of why we shouldn't be more self reliant?

one who obviously should have used a simpler example for you.

Guess I don't have to ask what kind of moron would buy that strawman argument.

BS. You act as if the world economy is a rational beast unfettered by actual people, politics, systems of government. So China is using the money we give them to build more missiles pointed at China. That is politics, not economics. So, we are employing illegals. That's politics again, not economics.

The almighty dollar is not ALL that conservatism is about. It is about conserving our culture, and our identity. America was about rugged individualism, reliability. Small towns where you could make clothes and sell them to the baker who made your bread, who bought his furnace from the blacksmith. Pretending that service jobs are just as good as American manufacturing, American pride in products made as home just because we can squeeze a few extra bucks in is ridiculous.

It's like saying that McDonald's eating is just as good as a home cooked meal. It's really cheap and all. That is what is important. Tea and coffee my ass. We import computer chips for guided missiles from Taiwan. Hope China doesn't bomb them with our technology, and missiles built with our greenbacks.
