And you seem oddly rather pleased at the prospect. You'd think such perfidy would be rare on a Constitutionalist, pro-America conservative site as Free Republic. But, it's not. It's certainly gotten easier to see whose bread is buttered on which side by whom of late.
I have no desire to see America fail if anything I’d prefer us to remain dominate as long as possible but over the past fifty years we’ve been meandering and stagnating while the Chinese are actively building and booming. They’ve started “colonization” of Africa for resources rather than leave them lying fallow in the ground while we fritter away our industrial base.
I have no wish to see them as the worlds only superpower but if they have the drive and can push forward I wish them luck.
I’m certainly not pleased at that prospect, but frankly those of us who support an America First doctrine of free trade that prevents offshoring and outsourcing have been in the minority. Even now, with our nation facing bankruptcy, there are ignorant blowhards - even on FR - trumpeting the benefits of trade with our Chinese enemies.
