We have some members who confuse all-out self interested capitalism with freedom..

While making money is dandy, doing so while betraying your country - such as dealing with Iran, or outsourcing American jobs to improve profitability - is obviously wrong. Pandering to a set of immigrants that refuse to accept our language or our culture and perpetuating the divisions is also morally wrong.

Wal-Mart has the absolute right to make Spanish-centric stores.

We have the absolute right to avoid their stores until they return to the US again.

I often wonder how people the people you describe feel about selling state secrets. I mean, its capitalism, right? No limits, ultimate freedom. You’re not being treasonous, you’re just being a good capitalist.

Destroying your country in the pursuit of money is hardly what the FF envisioned. While you have the right to pursue money, you have the obligation to do so in a way that doesn’t harm the country that provides you this freedom.

So to these same people, selling our secrets for money must be ok, just like undercutting our labor force and offshoring everything is ok. Both result in gain for you and harm for the country.

Right on the money my friend. One of my BIG problems with the GOP has been their support of illegals simply because they provide cheap labor. Good for business maybe but bad fir the nation . We;ll be a 3rd world toilet by the time Obama runs out his years anyway.
