If you discuss economics it should be dispassionately rather than like a sensitive teenage girl.

Morality is a separate subject also to be discussed with objectivity and a cool head.

Politics the same.

Providing the people with the opportunity by keeping the government out of their pockets and hair as much as possible is the highest morality. A morality which understands that free trade is of a higher nature than government controls. And is the preference of free men.

I early on indicated that the exception to free trade allowed for protection of national security if necessary by protecting and/or subsidizing national security related industry.

Businesses that do not do legal things for profit are not long in business and has created more misery through misguided altruism. Nothing has been said by me outside the context of economic decision-making so I never said that “...everyone does everything for profit....” Refuting that absurd strawman might have been fun for you but it never was an idea of mine.

And don’t tell me about patriotism, if I am not confused you are a firm supporter of those who tried their damnedest to destroy our Union through a treasonous insurrection and thus, rejected everything our Founders stood for.

Incorrect. The problems co-existed. Nobody goes there.

Would you care to elaborate on this? What exception would you be in favor off? I don't recall that. Please repeat.

Ok, so go on record here. Union membership(non-govt) is decreasing every year. It is at 6%. When it reaches 0% then what excuse for backstabbing the USA will the free traitors use? Funny, you can't say you support the USA and be in favor of destroying our manufacturing base at the same time.

Like Wells Fargo bank laundering 1/2 trillion dollars in Mexican drug cartel money? Who got the business in Mexico when they lobbied via 'free trade' FTA to be allowed to do 'business' there?

You're full of lies.

And morality has everything to do with politics in a republic predicated on individual rights and self government.
