One of the greatest differences between a free-marketeer and a protectionist with regard to national security (using your earlier and never completed example of a bullet factory) is that a free-marketeer wants to make it easier to build bullet factories in the U.S., while a protectionist thinks that slapping a tariff on plastic lawn furniture will do the trick.

It doesn’t matter if its a bullet, a speaker, or a car. Cheap labor will always undercut American labor.

I see you're failing to connect the dots. Unemployed people have a very strong tendency to vote Democrat. As many previous posters here have noted, "if your not on Wall Street, then your dumber than a box of rocks".

Thus it becomes a self replicating cycle; more Dems, more regulations, more unemployment.

Out sourcing that ammo order was the last straw for me. We've been involved in the Middle East for how many years now?

No one noted we're consuming small arms ammo at a rate that was burning off our reserve stock?

Is Bush totally surrounded by incompetents?

Problem is we can't throw the bums out 'cause the other Party is worse.
