Your Isolationist claptrap is evidence of ignorance of basic business and capitalist freedom.
Anti business psuedo conservatives are like progressives that hate the concept of profits in which they do not share.
“Anti business psuedo conservatives are like progressives that hate the concept of profits in which they do not share.”
I like profits, but I like them earned honestly. What we have today is nothing of the sort. It’s a crony capitalist monstrosity run by a kakistocracy. And no one asks basic questions like “Is outsourcing a significant portion of vital national resources to third world crap stains and communist dictatorships a good idea?”
While having some things made more cheaply overseas may, and I stress may, be a good idea what’s going on today is not.
Nothing in this universe has only one side. While there are certain advantages to outsourcing there are also disadvantages. Those need to be discussed rationally and with OUR national interest at the core.

Capitalistic freedom is one thing. The trade deals that sent our money and technology to a communist country is quite another.
Are you OK with the fact that the consumer dollars that could have been used to build up our military and infrastructure are building up the Chicom's instead. Are you OK with funding their military expansion while borrowing so we can continue to buy their products? Do you honestly believe they aren't stealing the technology we send over there?
What about our Veterans? How can we call ourselves patriots while simultaneously choosing Chicom slave labor over our own Veterans?
And what about our children? We send them to college to learn technical skills, then ship the jobs they train for out of the country or import cheaper workers. Our kids are stuck with huge college bills and no way to pay them back, yet we can't figure out why they're rioting instead of working the jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't been outsourced. Can you name one other generation that was betrayed by its own parents and grandparents like this?
So we fund the Chicom military build up, send them our technology, and make it impossible for our kids to get jobs in the IT departments in their own country, but we save $.10 on communist made paint brushes. Is that your idea of basic business and capitalist freedom?
