Perot was torpedoed by Limbaugh and other free trader globalist loudmouths.

Just for the record and those that might be tuning for the first time, how do you define the bugaboo you call globalism?

[central_va]

Globalism, dissolving or lessening border control to undermine the nation-state and the will of the people in those nation-states. It is the opposite of nationalism.

Symptoms

1. Promiscuity with regards to the entry of goods and humans with no regard to the deleterious effect on the indigenous population.
2. Purposely failing to retaliate to other nations mercantilism and protection of markets and no proper response through counter tariff of imported goods for the benefit of international corporate profit.
3. Allowing illegal aliens free access and super citizen status.
4. Flooding the USA with foreign immigration with the sole propose of pushing a left wing ideology and to reduce wages.
5. Global Labor Arbitrage: Often, a prosperous nation (such as the United States) will remove its barriers to international trade, integrating its labor market with those of nations with a lower cost of labor (such as India, China, and Mexico), resulting in a shifting of jobs from the prosperous nation to the developing one. The end result is an increase in the supply of labor relative to the demand for labor, which means a decrease in costs and a decrease in wages. "

Yup. I remember. And I bought the “free trade” rhetoric hook line and sinker.

Not anymore.

First you explain why you characterize globalism as a “bugaboo”?
