“I heard that he is for “free-trade”. That’s a code word for internationalism’

Free trade = capitalism
Fair trade = protectionism

And quoting the John Birch society does nothing for your cause.

Policy should be pitched to what is best for America. If that is protectionism, then protectionism is good for America. But Free Trade which has America at a disadvantage is bad for America.

Duncan Hunter is for Fair Free trade, and will level the playing field so America is not hurt in the process. GATT has us on the ropes, and Duncan Hunter will bring manufacturing and good jobs back to America.

The WTO is part of the push to bring the country down. Anyone who takes exception to the above is in severe denial.

Free trade = capitalism Fair trade = protectionism

That is just plain wrong. Notice the word "trade" is still in "Fair trade"?

All "Fair trade" is is a rule-set that recognizes that:

1. We make those whom we trade with quite rich, so we don't want to trade with those who work against our interests and human standards;
2. Trade should be trade, and in the medium-term a country we deal with should import as many U.S. goods as they export to us; and
3. There are capabilities we need to keep under our control for the sake of our defense and basic human needs. (I.e. never let a boycott/blockade cause defeat, famine, or pestilence.)

That isn't regressive at all - unless you have a thing for Chinese dictators!

Really you think that you know something about the John Birch Society? You have been manipulated.

There is no "free-trade" with China and you should know that.

You should probably turn of your TV long enough to have an original thought. It really ticks me off to hear people blackball someone because they have been told to.

You probably think that McCarthy was wrong. And the hearings were just awful, right? That's what the liberals want you to think. But it is not true. We have the names and the files now. We know that FDR's VP Wallace was a KGB agent. That's why they dumped him for Truman.They knew it too.

But we've had 60 years of lies to listen too. And you think the Birch Society is laughable. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
