I do overseas business all the time. It cracks me up to think of all the little twinkie Free Traitors back in the U.S. babbling theoretical BS from Adam WhatHisName or some blissninny Libertarian web site.
The people outside of the borders of the U.S. don't believe ANY of that crap. They see weaklings willing to let them take something, SO THEY DO.
To them, what's theirs is theirs, what's ours is negotiable.
Well, what makes us different from the free traders and the all the dime store economists and libertarians is that we see the real world for what it is, not some theoretical BS that has no application in the REAL WORLD.
Americans, both liberals and conservatives, need to get their heads out of the clouds and books and deal with the world that actually exists.
Barack Obama is a failure because he clings to his Marx and Engels like the Gospel.
And the free traders are sending us down a primrose path of self-destruction because they cling to Adam Smith and David Ricardo.
We live in 2010, not the 18th and 19th century.
