In 1970, most women were able to stay at home. Do they have that choice now? Did NAFTA, GATT, or the WTO increase the ability of men to support families?

Any family oriented conservative patriotic american should use that as a benchmark as to how our policies are working. What's the scorecard on that account?

Hey bud, gotta keep those moms outta the home. Can you imagine tens of millons of little home-schooled patriots, ones who barely knew who MLK was and knew everything about our founding fathers and the founding documents.

MLK and Rosa parks have nearly completely replaced our founding fathers in school.

Your comments were dead on target. The subject is hardly ever raised any more in the quest for more corporate profits. If we could put the children to work, it would be the perfect system for the corps.

I've brought this point up many times when debating the Free Traitor lot here and never got a cogent response back. Most in the newer generations are apparently unaware that prior to the mid/late-70s the vast majority of working age men in America could raise a family, buy a house and afford all the basic necessities of life without needing their wives to work. To do this today one must be earning at least 80K--well above the median income level.

Yet that's how it was before our government decided to go down the grossly misnamed "Free Trade" path and sellout out the livelihoods of millions of its own citizens. And I'm sure it's no accident that most Young Americans are unaware that in fact the TRUE standard of living and quality of life was a heck of lot better before these disastrous trade agreements and the dawn of One World Socialism. We can't go talking about that because it might get some folks to start asking a lot of questions.

Any family oriented conservative patriotic American should use that as a benchmark as to how our policies are working. What's the scorecard on that account?

Right On and the scorecard for "Free Trade" is a dismal failure.
