I thought we were talking about free trade. I don't condone protectionism. By anyone.
Exactly what fundamental freedoms are you talking about?
I was talking about the fundamental right of human beings to conduct their own affairs and make their own arrangements. It is no ones legitimate business what I buy from whom and at what price.
Freedeom From Tariffs? The Constitution says otherwise.
You debating yourself? I never made any assertion remotely like that.
Freedom to take money from me and my business and hand it over to my competitor? That's not in the Constitution.
Huh? Bizarre comment. Unrelated to anything I have said.
What fundamental freedom did you lose by Reagans bike tariff?
The one I just mentioned.

I'm talking about free trade. You?

I'm glad you see the WOD as anti liberty. Still, the Constitution usurps your emanating, penumbral right to purchase imported goods sans tariff. Sorry.

But that's what I'm advocating as a means of maintaining, higher standards of living. Not as an entitlement, but as a self protective function of our government. Tariffs. So, to clarify, we don't have a right to a high standard of living, but we do have a right to demand that our government put in place Constitutionally enumerated tariffs in our own interest, or else suffer the wrath in '04.

Not as bizarre as you saying: "I was talking about the fundamental right of human beings to conduct their own affairs and make their own arrangements. It is no ones legitimate business what I buy from whom and at what price." Which, if it includes imported goods, is not a right you have under our Constitutional Republic. And in light of the IRS, BATF and DEA, it's not a right you have at all.

You don't have that emanating penumbral Constitutional right to buy Jap bikes sold on the cheap.
