Christians are not "free market at all costs", "I've got mine so screw you", "If you are poor it is because you are weak and stupid and lazy and you don't deserve to live" types. We hear the same smug proclamations from the free market types about how roaringly prosperous a country with massive debt burdens and no savings rate is.

So you are for protecting our jobs with tariffs and taxation on imported goods? Americans should pay whatever the domestic market charges for goods to protect American jobs? Or are am I misunderstanding what you are tying to convey?

I am. Having tariffs and distinct citizenship are the key elements of being a nation.

I can't speak for anyone but myself so here goes:

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. You are receivng me "wall to wall and treetop tall" (as we used to say over the CB radio), "you're pegging my RF meter at 40 decibels over S-9" (a little amateur radio slang) or if I geeked to many people out, "you are receiving me loud and clear."
