I think the crux of this argument is do we want to stand on principle or do we just want to win elections....i fall on the principle side.....to just win an election without firm conservative principles is mighty empty as far as i'm concerned.
Like what?
We can't buy Cuban cigars but go to Walmart and 3/4 of the goods there are from China...i still can't wrap my pea brain around that one.
Thank you for getting the word out! Not only should we contact our Senators and Representatives, but also President Bush and our Governors, in protest.
Send letters to the Editors of our local newspapers, and a link to this article to everyone in our address books.
If I replied to /sarcasm, sorry.
If you want an answer:
The UN, IMF, WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA
They aren't theories.
You bet he is: like father, like son
I believe that America must guard its sovereignty in order to survive, not the other way around.
I'm not at ALL like my father.... I was hoping (still hoping) he's different from Bush senior.
Unfortunately, Buchananites cringe at war with Islamofascits. It's what made me change camps.
You are exactly right...Walmart sales accounted for 6 cents out of every retail dollar spent in the United States as of a few years ago. That number is supposed to double. I don't know what their average profit margin is on their merchandise, but that is a hefty chunk of change heading to China each year. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. We are financing the weapons that they will eventually attack us with. They have been investing heavily in fighter jets, naval ships and military technology. If you want get really scared, read the CIA annual brief on China some time. According to the report, China's highest ranking government officials consider war with the United States unavoidable within the next 20 years. But still we offer them favored nation trading status under the Clinton administration, we buy everything that they produce, we offer them satellite technology so that they can leap frog us into the 21 century by never having to develop the infrastructure for land based telecommunications. We allow them to steal technology and manufacturing secrets from our corporations because they dangle the carrot in front of us that we will be allowed to compete fairly in their emerging market (ha ha). When is anyone going to wake up?
ISLAMOFACISTS that is.
I thought you were nixing her post and posting a rebuttal
Now if your "no thanks" had come after your posting the rest of the article, it might have been easier on us older, slower, late nighters.
Then again maybe we just need to go to bed.
Good night Jim, Good night All. MRN
The saddest thing is....you could tell all this to the average american and their eyes would glaze over...to begin with they wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about and for the most part they wouldn't care....they're just waiting for the weekend to watch the ball games or the next nascar race...after they swing by wally world to pick up a 12 pack.

lol I put /?? at the end of my post 'cause I didn't feel like it was really sarcasm. I've seen too many posts just like mine that were serious about the CFR being irrelevant and that anybody worried about the CFR's purpose was in need of a huge tinfoil hat.
I take what the CFR is up to quite seriously and would personally like to nuke them.
LOL! Blood pressure is going down now...
We need to deport every politician in Washington DC and start all over.
I'm sorry! Didn't mean to get your blood pressure up. I can relate to that tho. Lately I've had to take at least week-long breaks from FR because my anger has been getting the best of me.
Being a news and political junky can be hazardous to your health!
