Before NAFTA, GATT and the WTO, America was a bustling, self reliant industrial nation. The middle class was well employed. Entrepreneurs were a dime a dozen. Anyone who worked hard could raise above his natal station.
We are now being bled to death, selling our souls for the cheapest gadgets and empowering a Communist nation in the process. Coupled with the corruption of the public schools, higher education, the MSM, Congress, and a Globalist administration, we are now a brainwashed, manipulated sheeple rushing toward embracing third world ideals and our own ultimate destruction.
The only way back to sanity is to clean House, shrink government, home or private school, get our news from other sources, and ELECT LEGISLATORS WITH TRUE CONSERVATIVE , LOYAL AMERICAN PRINCIPLES AT LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS.
We must also now choose the one statesman who embraces the Christian tenets embodied in our sacred documents; who possesses the vision, solutions, experience, love of country and the determination to restore her - Duncan Hunter.
GO DUNCAN HUNTER!
Hey when we had a middle class and a decent economy and children that did not score at the bottom of the international educational scores we never would have agreed to a one world government which has always been the ruling elite's goal ( read that "new world order).
They need to drag us down to third world status and so far so good
Bump.
You think shutting Colombia out, impoverishing it, and making the only business worth being in cocaine is the way to fix things? I think you are mistaken. Shutting Colombia out is the worst mistake we can make.
The strategic picture is important, you would get some of that if you would click on the story, but here is some of it:
Colombia shares an eastern border with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. That’s who they’re stuck with as a next-door neighbor. If you think Mexico’s a bad neighbor, try Venezuela. Chavez’s leading an antiamerican alliance and sucking an average of two countries a year into its orbit. The countries he sucks in are economically very weak, and none have free trade.
Chavez regularly taunts Colombia, calling it a fool for being pro-American instead of antiamerican. He yells that Chavez is colombia’s only true friend and communism and protectionism (just like what you are preaching, with this sort of pastoral view of the past) are the only ways for colombia to prosper. If you are reading anything in the news, you know chavez with his protectionism is running venezuela straight into the ground.
But he has the upper hand when he tells colombia that it has more to gain from being america’s enemy than its friend and being america;s friend will only result in colombia getting screwed over.
With de-facto chavistas like yourself around, yelling about free trade, who is to argue with chavez? Chavez is right, to be america’s friend is to be screwed over.
I hope I don’t hear you whining about america having no friends, though.
Your views are exactly those of antiamerican hugo chavez, your arguments are identical.
