Excuse me, I mean to say, that saying you are for fair trade not protectionism is the same thing as saying you are pro-choice not pro-abortion.
"Excuse me, I mean to say, that saying you are for fair trade not protectionism is the same thing as saying you are pro-choice not pro-abortion."
That is an absurd comparison. Pro-choice is normally a woman's choice to destroy an unborn child. Fair trade is simply the people's right to not have national security manufacture outsourced to potentially hostile countries, or to have extra-constitutional bodies like the WTO superimposing their will upon commerce. The two issues have nothing to do with each other, and commerce is much more complicated. I know that an opponent of DH must be capable of much better discrimination. It's not as simple as a "Free trade vs Protectionism debate."
