Since the Democrats retook congress last year, they've jacked around like clowns, doing nothing. That changed last Friday though, when Charlie Rangel snapped into sense and realized that our hemisphere has a problem that can be expressed in two words: Hugo Chavez. He put aside his partisan views and acted in the national interest. Guy deserves a medal. As of Friday, the US's strategic position has been vastly improved because of Rangel's courage. Hugo is screaming right now.

What will they buy from us?

Quickly that drunk will do something stupid

The headline had me worried; I thought some environmental wacko had devised a free trade scheme to sell sunlight credits or restrict its use to daylight hours only.

Free trade with Panama and Colombia would be a good idea. You "pertecktionists" don't have much to worry about the former, as it has a largely service based economy.

Speaking as one who has worked in Panama, it is bad enough that said country signed an MLAT, thereby ending its bank secrecy laws that made Panama a major banking center in the 1980s. I hope that whatever free trade deal gets signed does NOT involve further "sharing of information" on bank accounts.

Cool. More third world countries to move our jobs to so we can get more cheap stuff.

They abdicated their oversight role with this decision showing that they all have the same masters IMHO.

Before NAFTA, GATT and the WTO, America was a bustling, self reliant industrial nation. The middle class was well employed. Entrepreneurs were a dime a dozen. Anyone who worked hard could raise above his natal station.

We are now being bled to death, selling our souls for the cheapest gadgets and empowering a Communist nation in the process. Coupled with the corruption of the public schools, higher education, the MSM, Congress, and a Globalist administration, we are now a brainwashed, manipulated sheeple rushing toward embracing third world ideals and our own ultimate destruction.

The only way back to sanity is to clean House, shrink government, home or private school, get our news from other sources, and ELECT LEGISLATORS WITH TRUE CONSERVATIVE , LOYAL AMERICAN PRINCIPLES AT LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS.

We must also now choose the one statesman who embraces the Christian tenets embodied in our sacred documents; who possesses the vision, solutions, experience, love of country and the determination to restore her - Duncan Hunter.

GO DUNCAN HUNTER!
