And primo conservative Newt Gingrich was a primary supporter of NAFTA and the WTO. People who called themselves conservatives supported those two globalist programs almost to a man, with Duncan Hunter, Sr. and a few other exceptions. And they supported W's amnesty goals and the Gang-of-Eight amnesty bill. Those have been the two most vigorously supported conservative goals of the past twenty years.
"Conservatives" here and elsewhere today want to talk about gay marriage and abortion, and mouth a few words about "limited government", but they won't embrace the globalist agreements and goals that have been a hallmark of the GOP for the past two or three decades.
And Ted Cruz, the smartest lawyer who ever lived, and the purest conservative alive today, has flipped and flopped on the issue of TPA and TPP and the free movement of labor (also a globalist goal). And also on immigration issues.
All these "conservatives" need to drop all the posturing and discuss the issues of this campaign in a logical and honest manner. Conservatives have, and still do, support open borders, any trade agreement that can be dreamed up by any globalist on earth, and amnesty for illegals.
Well said.
I support Trump for a very good reason. Rush has mentioned it a few times the past week or two.
What has all this "Conservatism" gotten us?
All these "Conservatives" preached the marvels of "free trade." They still do, even to this day they'll defend NAFTA and offshoring jobs.
It was all a SCAM.
They'll say you're not a "Conservative" unless you agree with screw-job trade deals that destroy our economy.
Well forget that!
What NAFTA and global trade has done to the American economy the past 20 years has been absolutely catastrophic.
