Free Traitors™ are a vocal lot.
Let's ignore him by starting a thread about him so we can all share about how we are ignoring him.
The Republican party was historically the protectionist party an IMO needs to return to its pro tariff roots.
A 20% tariff balance the budget tomorrow. Phased in 5% a year until the deficit goes away. It has to be done.
Misleading title. Levin wasn't "responding" to Hillary.
However, a much more pressing topic seems to have triggered the passions of radio host Mark Levin
Because Mark Levin covers tariffs on his show it means that Levin thinks the subject is "more pressing" than Hillary's open borders?
...who, along with Jamie Weinstein, is one of the most vocal members of the #NeverTrump movement.
Levin isn't #NeverTrump.
The article is a dishonest response to Levin's criticism's of tariffs.
His woman’s child was employed by Cruz. He acts like he has a wounded ego - Cruz’s loss is personal. Maybe he lost face not having the power of influence he bragged he had. Something is seriously off kilter within him. We should pray for him.
The elite's contempt at the working person.
Trump has been a Godsend the way he rips down the political edifice. A lot of Free Traitor™ snakes were hiding behind the “movement” conservative curtain.
I've wondered if he ever listens to himself.
I find it hard to believe he could hear his rantings
and not have some embarrassment over them.
One of the saddest things for me this election cycle is the exposure of idiocy on the right. I have always know that there were stupid liberals, but a person on the right who doesn’t realize that by not supporting Trump they are helping Hillary to get elected is a whole new level of brain dead.
While I didn’t always agree with them, I did generally accept that Levin, Beck, Medved, et al, had at least a valid, intellectually supportable view. No more. I will not listen to their crap. You know the left won’t listen to them. You would think that maybe in the interest of self-preservation they would dial back the #NeverTrump. Nope, too stupid to do even that.
Sad, really...
Levin's hatred of Trump has blinded him to the reality of how Americans are forced to live nowadays.. He's an effing elites... in the Michael Moore fashion... probably has a butler at his mansion.
Thank you. So few get it. Economic freedom. Why are so many on the Right and so many Christians confused about the value and importance of economic freedom, something America had for about 150 years, what made the average American better off than the average citizen anywhere in the world and what also made America the greatest and most powerful country on earth? FREEDOM NOT GOVERNMENT made us prosperous, powerful and happy.
A recent article in Imprimis discusses this - the value and importance of individual, political, economic and personal freedom all of which the author argues are inseparable.

Free Traitors™ like Steve Hayes of Fox news wrongly thinks the USA has been a free trading and no tariff nation from the beginning. We'll he is liar. The very first bill EVER passed was the Tariff Act of 1789. The free trading policy fiasco is relatively new which went on steroids with Bush I and his NWO crapolla. The fact is up until 1913 the USA had no income taxes and the Feds were completely funded with tariffs and other user taxes.
The Republican party was historically the protectionist party an IMO needs to return to its pro tariff roots.
Knock, knock, hello, is anybody home? Tariffs used for tax purposes to fund the government is entirely different than thinking tariffs solve economic problems caused by the government.
The benefits of protectionism:
-repatriation of industry
-general increase in economic activity
-decreasing or no trade deficits
-balanced Federal budgets
-higher levels of baseline employment
-less social stress
-less political will for socialism
-increased national security
-raising interest rate will not crater the economy
Whereas it is necessary for that support of government, for the discharge of the debts of the United States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise:"
I like it when Free Traitors™ cut down George Washington as some kind of a protectionist fool. Go ahead. Knock knock hello?
Strange argument - Socialist policies create “less political will for socialism”.
Rots a ruck with that one.
1924 Republican Platform
The Tariff
We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life. A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.
In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.
The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living.
The enormous value of the protective principle has once more been demonstrated by the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the tariff act of 1922.
We assert our belief in the elastic provision adopted by congress in the tariff act of 1922 providing for a method of readjusting the tariff rates and the classifications in order to meet changing economic conditions when such changed conditions are brought to the attention of the president by complaint or application.
We believe that the power to increase or decrease any rate of duty provided in the tariff furnishes a safeguard on the one hand against excessive taxes and on the other hand against too high customs charges.
The wise provisions of this section of the tariff act afford ample opportunity for tariff duties to be adjusted after a hearing in order that they may cover the actual differences in the cost of production in the United States and the principal competing countries of the world.
We also believe that the application of this provision of the tariff act will contribute to business stability by making unnecessary general disturbances which are usually incident to general tariff revisions.
Knock, knock, hello, is anybody home?
When America was first stating up it did need some economic protection to give industry a chance to ramp up. After than, government took a back seat and America became the most prosperous country on earth. The greatest economic power on earth needs government protectionism? How stupid.
What a stupid argument. Freedom is socialism? Socialism is government dictatorship and tyranny. Freedom is lack of government dictatorship and tyranny. Why am I talking to you? You’re as confused and mad as a March hare.
