Might as well be right now.

Under THIS pResident? I think you overestimate his resolve in protecting this nation from disaster.

the free traitors' debt regime

Oh, I almost forgot to ask.

What is it about freedom that chafes your butt so much? I expect that you're all in favor of freedom of speech. And I'd be surprised if you're opposed to freedom of worship. But, for some reason, when it comes to the freedom to dispose of your private property as you see fit, you're against it.

What's that all about? Is the freedom to make a living something that the Constitution, in your opinion, shouldn't, or doesn't protect?

Well it will take at least 20 months to muster up an American consensus to actually stop selling our future for cheap imports.

Conservatives would do well to start now, run with that as the single most important issue (because it is), and 20 months from now...

(let’s see, that would be right after November 2012)

Just saying.

Get out of the way, “free traders”. Now.

Pay attention to what the man is saying. If you had a brain in your head you'd realize that this has nothing whatsoever to do with 'free' trade. It has to do with using all that money to acquire resources around the world, resources taht will very soon be used against us.

It's too late to close the barn door now.

As I posted on another thread, it is ironic that Easter Sunday is the day when the piper called to be paid.

You guys are brainwashed.

“Free trade” is a massive, America-damaging failure.

Time to wake up, stop the failure, and put America first.

China is certainly putting China first. Kicking our butts. Taking our place on the world stage with shocking speed.

Wake up America. Soon.

You keep the ‘freedom’ to fire Americans, offshore their jobs, and destroy our economy.

I’ll keep America.

Always.

Actually this means that interest rates are about to skyrocket to attract investors needed to buy up all of the debt. This of course will make the debt even larger, much quicker. We are in a death spiral and captain obama is not willing to pull up.

So you'll tell me who I can and can't hire and fire, and where I can and can't run my business.

You're no American.

"What is it about freedom that chafes your butt so much?...What's that all about? Is the freedom to make a living something that the Constitution, in your opinion, shouldn't, or doesn't protect?"

China is a foreign communist nation. Corporate-government interests collaborating with China are working against American freedom and are now collaborating in trying to destroy the USA. They are communist sympathizers.

The United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;...To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,..."

The Tariff Act of 1789 was the first national source of revenue for the newly formed United States.

WTO helping China Loot Caterpillar
AmericanThinker.com ^ | 10/04/2010 | Howard Richman & Raymond Richman

"But on September 29 Caterpillar announced it is building its twelfth factory in China -- this one to produce mini-excavators. Why can’t Caterpillar make a profit exporting mini-excavators to China? The answer is simple: China has a 30% tariff on all excavators. In fact it has a similar high tariff on just about every vehicle, be it a Ford car, a GMC truck, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, or a giant mining machine made by Bucyrus International."

You’re such a weenie.

Move.

You’d be happier elsewhere. Not so many Americans.

The Federal Reserve has maneuvered us into a position where we lose no matter what happens.

Then all of the satanic elites will own the world.

And pray, tell, what have we to sell them other than Boeing aircraft, intellectual property/patents and foodstuffs?

For the amount of surplus they’ve accumulated, we haven’t enough to sell them.

You’re already seeing inflation in foodstuffs in part due to the Chinese buying huge amounts of corn and beans.

Yea, that tariff thing was such an imposition - I guess that’s why the Founding Fathers put it into the Constitution in Article I, Section 8. So if you truly put the Constitution first, then you’d adhere to the intent of the Founding Fathers to levy tariffs, rather than give power over our trade to an extra-constitutional, extra-national organization that isn’t elected, is accountable to no one and creates rules without any input from citizens affected by their policies, right?

Tariffs were a cornerstone of what was known as the “American School of Economics,” put into place by Alexander Hamilton.

It served us rather well through 1932, and parts of it through the late 60’s. Might want to check that out, because the last decade’s results for wage growth in the era of “free trade” don’t compare well to the results of wage growth of the era with tariffs in the US trade policy.

And, pray, tell... since when has giving such huge economic advantage to communists been considered “freedom?” Since when has doing anything to communists aside from killing them been associated with “freedom?”
