If anti-globalism /protectionism has become the left's issue it is very hypocritical of them. Didn't they claim for so many months after 9/11, that the reason the terrorist hated us was because of our capitalism and wealth. If that be the case, then the left would and should want to export capitalism and wealth, so the rest of the world would not feel they only need resort to terrorism to express their hatred for us. This seems to be a cure for terrorism as far as the left's logic follows - we export capitalism, as a remedy for poverty and terrorism and they won't be angry at us and want to kill us.

The left also supports Kyoto's goal of wealth redistribution. High taxes on our energy use with the funds going to "developing nations" to help them become developed nations.

It's mind boggling to see conservatives here supporting Kyoto's wealth redistribution objectives via "free" trade and dem Rat leftists opposing it. Go figure.
