No, Mr. Hewitt.

America (and the GOP) really do need to stop pandering to multi-national and globalizt economic manipulators.

We are not a "capitalist" nation, per se. We are a free nation. Domination of Americans by those who use economic power in order to create artificially manipulated economies slanted in their favor is akin to fascism -- and when that is supportted by government, it actually is the economic definition of fascism.

Our "originalist" America is a healthily nationalist nation, where government governs taxing and tariffs, and trade, to assure that it is in America's interest.

Wholistic benefits of globalism are a lie. Just look at the economic bring-down we've been suffering for transplanting manufacturing to other nations and to flooding America with illegal aliens.

Or, do you just call that "employee productivity" along with the crooks?

“We are a free nation.”

Once the government will insert itself in every aspect of your life — as Huckabee wants — we will cease to be a free nation.

Recommend you read this:

BILL OF NO RIGHTS.

We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bedwetters.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That a whole lot of people were confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of Non Rights.

ARTICLE I — You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any form of wealth.

More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II — You do not have the right to never be offended.

This country is based on freedom, and that means the freedom for everyone, not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III — You do not have the right to be free from harm.

If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful. Do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV — You do not have the right to free food and housing.

Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generations of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V — You do not have the right to free health care.

That would be nice but, from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in government run health care.

ARTICLE VI — You do not have the right to physically harm other people.

If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII — You do not have the right to the possessions of others.

If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII — You don’t have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience.

We hate oppressive governments and won’t lift a finger to stop you from going to fight, if you’d like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.

ARTICLE IX — You don’t have the right to a job.

All of us sure want all of you to have one, and will gladly help you in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE X — You do not have the right to happiness.

Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness — which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

We are a free nation.

In your view apparently, we're just not free enough to have, God forbid it, economic liberty. We must, through the use of government, keep consumers from being able to purchase goods, foods, and services that were produced in a foreign country; for our own good, of course. You're probably really pissed off that your favorite candidate is being properly vetted...Huckabee is your guy, right? I mean, you speak the same populist garbage.

The economy is booming.
