Dozens of House Republicans object to gay rights language in NAFTA replacement deal
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/16/2018 | Sean Higgins

Posted on 11/18/2018 12:03:35 PM PST by Rusty0604

A group of 45 House Republican lawmakers wrote President Trump Friday stating that they were "deeply concerned" by the inclusion of "sexual orientation and and gender identity language" in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada-Agreement on trade.

The representatives said the inclusion was "inappropriate and insulting to our national sovereignty" and urged Trump to remove the language.

The letter suggests the president may loose some key Republican support when the deal, which would replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, comes before before Congress for approval next year.

"A trade agreement is no place for the adoption of social policy," the GOP lawmakers wrote, adding, "It sets a dangerous precedent for courts and future administrations to build on."

Trump can’t know every single bit of information in these massive deals. It’s why I’m more or less against such massive deals.

All it takes is one lame RINO in the mix, and this stuff creeps in.

He should get the language changed.

This agreement hasn’t been signed yet and hasn’t made it to congress for approval. The deal was made with the trade negotiators, not congress.

As a Canuck living in Kanaduh (aka Canuckistan), I agree 100% with those 45 Republicans. A trade deal is NO PLACE for the adoption of social(ist) policy.

As much as I don’t want my country’s economy (Kanaduh) to suffer, if PDJT’s rejection of the agreement resulted in Prime Minister Soi Boi’s loss in the next election, I would certainly be on side with it! Unfortunately, my POV is in the minority in Kanaduh.

So you don’t have to call somebody out and make them special since we’re all “equal.” Right?

Wrong, we are not all "equal" that is their hole point. Some are more equal than others and you are not one who is equal. They are special thus you are not equal to their fabulousness.

My guess is that Canada put the gay language in the agreement.

Did Trump even read this deal or did he delegate?

[the inclusion of "sexual orientation and and gender identity language" in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada-Agreement]

when we are successful, ***and we will be***, we have a real chance at this New World Order

Just One of Several Mentions of 'New World Order'

'... we have before us, the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and future generations, a New World Order ... when we are successful, ***and we will be***, we have a real chance at this New World Order ... a credible United Nations ... to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders'

New World Order - Longer Version

GHWB also called for 'peace and security' - EXACTLY what the Bible prophesies in the English Standard Version:

So far, the prophecies for the last days are looking pretty dead on.

If I weren’t a Christian, I couldn’t read Revelation and not be scratching my head.

There is still time, but I think folks need to do some real soul searching on this topic.

Russia, the Middle East, wars and rumors of wars, ability to buy and sell...

A trade agreement is no place for the adoption of social policy...

I agree with the vast majority of my fellow FReepers on this thread: Social policy items have NO PLACE in a trade agreement.
