“Had the Pubbies stuck to Reaganism, had they stuck to Conservatism rather than Globalism... Globalism is Socialism in a business suit. It is the Republicans who laid the seeds for this so called ‘new direction’, and it is their just desserts to be foiled by it.”
I’m starting to wonder if folks who consider themselves true conservatives understand what Reagan was about. Reagan was a major supporters of global trading. When the Democrats and their union cronies wanted tariffs to keep out the Japanese, Reagan wouldn’t allow it.
Yeah, me too.

Yet he played tariffs where needed. Ask Harley Davidson.
I am all for global trade, as are most conservatives, but not at the expense of our industry, security, and sovereignty. Trade for trade's sake will fail us miserably.

Of course he was. To be for global trading is to for freedom, prosperity and a strong America. Its Reagan who with Brian Mulroney got the ball rolling on the now-maligned NAFTA.
Yet Reagan is idolized, while those who espouse similar policies are trashed as unfit to shine Reagan’s shoes.
