You are acting no differently than Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I have contempt for them when they have their hand out, shouting "gimme gimme" - and threaten to call me names.

First I do not say gimme gimme demanding any special group recieve favorable traetment other tahn Americans as a whole. Second I can disagree quite reasonably with people who take a pro free trade position and I am more than willing to discuss any issue with reason provided factual references are provided and the person making this assertion is not engaged in continued outright misrepresentation.

Now, do you have a good reason why I should feel any less contempt for YOU when you do the same thing, albeit you use "traitor" as opposed to "racist"?

I reserve traitor for very few posters only those who misrepresent American History and outright engage in lying and have done so on a number of past threads. I recognize it is hars but I also recognize that a prolonged pattern of outright fraud in support of a cause that harms the USA merits such appelation. This may or may not have any effect on your thinking and i am more than happy to provide specific reasons I call things lies. For example whenever anyone calls a tariff a Marxist program I will cite Alexander Hamilton as a proponent of protective tariffs. There are some who swill cite Jefferson. There are others who will cite Marx own statements against tariffs.

Now I do admit to a short fuse this morning. You will note that I have been in no way abusive. If you would like to discuss the substance of issues I shall be more than happy to do so. If you chose not to so be it.

Don't try to tell someone the truth, when they are drunk on the almight dollar, their ears are not open to reason.
