"No, the real disgrace is that America has become SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BARREN AND INFERTILE BECAUSE OF PROTECTION OF LIBERALISM and SOCIALIST POLICIES of BORROWING OR TAKING OTHER PEOPLE's TALENTS."
Completely disagree. Free Trade is a conservative idea, not a liberal one. Free trade benefits everyone. This falls under trade: trade in ideas, trade in skills, trade in knoweledge.
You are dead wrong on that. Free trade was the mantra of the slave-owning Democrats leading up to the Civil War. The Democrats continued to be anti-tariff and anti-protectionist through the Reconstruction, the Industrial Revolution, and through the Roaring Twenties.
The Republicans supported protectionist policies for American industry and tariffs (for revenue and for protection of American industry) from the time of the party's creation, and up until the neo-liberals starting converting to neo-cons in the last couple of decades.
Lincoln supported protectionism for American industry, as did McKinley, Coolidge, and Eisenhower, and Reagan.
Of course the Free Traitors will try to find one example in each of those administrations to support their contention that "Free Traitin" is a Republican value, but they will still be dead wrong.
Democrats spent years trying to shift the burden of taxation onto productivity as opposed to taxing imports and consumption. Wilson finally accomplished it. Since 1913, the Democrats and Republicans have simply disagreed on the desirable magnitude of this slave tax.
