And what's a "conservative" boards opinion on this? That its just the "free" market and to leave it alone? The government has to be involved in international trade -- its the only one that can.
If being "conservative" means watching all the manufacturing and white collar jobs leave the country as you have some blind faith then I'm not a conservative. What does being conservative mean to you?

Since you two Marxists PRC mouthpieces will not discuss realities your calling this a populist board is just more name calling. when given facts and historical references you ignore them and have resorted to assertions directly contradicted by facts.

the "populists" are trying to save whatever piece of conservatism is left in the US, because we understand that if the American middle class is gutted, you will have a permanent, socialist, Democratic majority in this country. And at that point, its over. So don't be so harsh to trash talk us, we are looking ahead and see where this is going. Who do you think all these displaced middle class workers are going to vote for? They are going to vote for the candidate promising them the most "stuff" to replace what they have lost by being dis-employed by the private sector. And what party do you think is going to offer up the most "stuff" to buy their votes?

It's kinda of like the Twilight Zone, like a mind meld of Buchcanism and Libertarian leaning IT workers on FR.

Both of those groups together make up a whopping 1% of the electorate.
