Blame Congress. They could shut off trade with China tomorrow, if they wanted to.

Yea but who runs congress: Democ-RATS and RAT-publicans controlled by big money special interests.

This all comes down to one of my personal pet peeves: The lack of morals, civility and the general coarsening of our culture. Unfortunately there are evil people in the world and things like Triangle Shirtwaist, Enron, Worldcom, and Lincoln Bedroom-gate happen. Don't blame Walmart because crooked real estate developers and local politicians get together to make immoral profits.

Now, what's with all this Pat bashing? What's the problem with putting America First? That's the way it should be. Strict isolationism. Why bother to protect an ungrateful world. Or worse yet put our lives on the lines so some politician's corporate cronies can make a couple of more millions.

Buchanan has gone so far off the conservative reservation it's amazing.

What's the problem with putting America First?

Nothing.

That's the way it should be. Strict isolationism.

We've tried that before. It ends with chaos and war. In this day and age, it might end with a radioactive crater where a major American city used to be.

Why bother to protect an ungrateful world.

Because doing so protects America.

Or worse yet put our lives on the lines so some politician's corporate cronies can make a couple of more millions.

No blood for oil, right?
