I just started to respond to this nonsense and lo and behold, it's Jones the Red.

Can't you see the inherent lie, the abiding nonsense of the statement "forcing imports onto them"?

Can't you understand that protectionism ALWAYS forces costs up and living standards down on BOTH sides of the bargain?

Don't you know that societies that try to provide goods and services to their populations at below the cost of production are lying to themselves, and wind up with populations with NOTHING but the bark of trees and grass to eat?

Do you think that the United States should back away from doing what is right and has proven to work and to provide decent living standards to millions- raising standsrds of health, education, water quality and so on, all over the world just because some leftist jackasses are propagandizing against us for thier own misguided purposes?

You note that Roy mentions Coachabamba. Look into that if you want to to find out wht the left considers a "victory". Ths was a privatised water project that would have brought clean, safe economical water to thousands. But since it was "private" it was the devil's work to these folks, and it was demonized, lied about, sabotaged, sued, and harassed into submission. So what does that prove? It certainly does not prove that privatization is evil. It certainly does prove that elitist leftist intellectuals still follow the Marxist/Leninist tenet of the end justifying the means. And the end is the dictatorship of the proletariat. The means is the demonization of the free market and liberty by callinbg it "empire" or "globalization". Make no mistake, these are the same Reds that gave us the gulags, forced abortion, reducation camps, and mass starvation. They are still full of the same old crap.

Which side are you on, Mr. Red?

I'm opposed to the NWO. I think we should do things the old fashioned way. Sovereign governments should be able to restrict or tax trade if they desire. And I don't think the IMF and World Bank have a decent track record. And I think there's a lot of evidence that recent trade patterns are bidding wages down for large portions of populations in many countries.

You can't support traditional ideas of democracy and the New World Order at the same time. It's just that simple. I'm on George Washington's side, not George Bush'.
