Excuse me but this is a blatant misrepresentation of what tariffs and protectionism are about. Calling tariffs sociailist is like saying the USA in early 1800's was Socialist. Globalism and internationalism has been a central tenet of Marxist governments since Lenin.

Now if you would like to discuss things plainly and clearly without calling names thats fine we can deal with an issue based discussion but name calling has no real place on Free Republic particularly when it is contray to what facts are.
