have been screamed at many times on this board because it's a CONSERVATIVE forum! If you don't like FREE TRADE the go to DU where you belong!

Wait a minute. DU types tend to like one world government and open borders, yes? So they are ahead of Bush on tariff-issue.

Conservatives by definition are those who want to preserve and protect the existing nations and borders. Globalism and free market fundamentalism are anti-conservative.

"Free Market Fundamentalism"????!!!!

Are you pulling my leg? So state levied Import/Export TAXES (you call them tariffs), designed merely to enhance or punish certain businesses are a conservative concept? Get real.

One need not be a globalist one world ICC supporter to believe in free markets. Sheesh.

Exactly. Conservatives give the right to nations and people to raise barriers to protect their entrepriseses, and they give secondary treatment to priviledges such as the ability to go shoping easily.

The dogma about a "one-world government" is repeated on FR occassionally, but I've never heard anyone list the reasons they are opposed to it. There seems to be certain assumptions about such an entity of which I am (yet) convinced. For the sake of argument, let's not immediately assume that it would be a liberal-socialist government, but something more democratic.

Also, please spare me the crap about going to DU, I want a dialogue with strong opinions, not insults. Also don't think just by asking the question you know where I stand on the issue.

Now go at it!
