I wonder if this newbie thinks we haven't seen this all before?
SuperOne could be a newbie, or a retread, I'm waiting for SO to say ratty rat rat.
Good question.
I did say “legal goods” and our patent laws should be applied to pharmaceutical drugs in a way that allows developers of new drugs to earn a profit on the research and development costs.
Trading in knockoffs of those patent-protected products would still be illegal. In the same way, you couldn’t sell Chinese versions of US copyrighted books or music.
Free trade does not mean all laws regarding copyright protection are invalidated.
Are you claiming that flippin' burgers is the only thing Americans do? Is that what you do?
We used to clearly lead the world in dozens of industries, automobiles, low cost electronics, high end electronics, motorcycles, bicycles, quality furniture, cotton goods, linnen, steel, small arms (well the Russians were always the volume producers), airplanes, computer hardward, computer software, computer services.
Are you claiming we no longer manufacture any of these products? Are you one of the guys who claims 100% of goods sold at WalMart are Chinese?
Did you happen to see that thread about Republicans being happier then Democrats...and the fringe kooks so far to the right they're on the left? pat and his patsies are living proof of it.
Does Ann Coulter still have a protection order out against him?
"It's based on static, zero-sum, thinking. Essentially, they assume there is a finite of wealth to go around.
Protectionists are bad at math."
No. We believe there is a finite amount of CAPITAL to go around.
China is Socialist.
China is Authoritarian.
China is Abortionist.
China is Atheist.
China would love to export these cultural virtues outside their own border.
They are the enemy. Aiding them is treason.
Free-traders may be OK at math, but they are apparently very VERY bad at reasoning.
Neocons? Are they Joooooooos?
IMO, he could give ann coulter a few pointers in wolfing down cheesburgers to fill out that stick frame of hers.
You are a liar. Buchanan mentioned the women and children killed in Pakistan in one clause, in a long article discussing the possibility of war with Iran and how another ground war in the Mideast might not be in America's interests and should require a Congressional declaration of war.
Buchanan's starting point is always what is best for America. Which makes him hard to understand to critics who have different sentiments.
Yes. And China is investing a large part of their capital in America.
They are the enemy. Aiding them is treason.
Someone who buys Chinese goods is a traitor? What about Mexican goods? Traitor too? What about Japanese goods? Traitor? British goods? Canadian goods?
Please, spell it out for everyone. Thanks.
LOL! BS...pat is the liar. He whined about the innocent women and children AND NEVER ONCE mentioned that the target were top terrorists...and that we actually killed them.
pat doesn't give a damn about America, he only cares about his personal hatred for President Bush.
Can you explain me why it is good to protect the corporate return of research and development costs but it is not good to protect workers investment of time and money in acquiring the advance skills by the protecting their job market?
the topic is the economy.... btw ... you have been replaced by mexican.
What about you? Haven't you implied we don't manufacture anything in the US anymore? I know you've made fact-free claims about WalMart's goods.
LOL! The author is an anti-American shill...bwt...you've been replaced by another Hamas supporter.
Good one. That's what makes Pat's dissenters so mad. They can't refute his truth unless they twist his words. When Pat write an article you see an exhibition of 'neo-cons' gone wild.
