First off, I like women. I’ve even argued with one or two.

The point however framed with gender background, might be to consider for a moment “political correctness”.

Is it bold or brave for anyone in America to adopt a position which is politically correct? Be “for diversity”? Advocate government controlled free speech? Hardly, political correctness is brainwashing and meekness, disguised as “individualism”.

What has become mis-named “free trade” is our side’s version of political correctness. It is passively accepted as somehow being some sort of central truth. There’s nothing brave about being for “free trade”. It’s what the mob believe, going along is no more difficult than chanting the same thing, as everyone else with you.

To put it in terms you might better understand, it takes cojones to OPPOSE free trade.

(Supporting) free trade, is a bit like being a good girlfriend. Don’t argue too much. Be agreeable, not pointing out he burps and is a slob.

Free trade supporters, would make good girlfriends.

Real men, support defiance.

Now that we’ve got the gender flames out of the way, how about you talk about the Peoples Liberation Army (Navy), and how it is the PRC is so rapidly becoming strong like we have been, and how it is we concurrently are becoming weak, without jobs, money and industry.

Like the PRC was just a couple decades ago.

That's your problem. Intellectually-honest protectionists will admit that there is a cost to the policies they propose.

So it doesn't take balls, it takes brains to oppose free trade. Even little things, like admitting that we don't have free trade with China, or that raising tariffs hurts some U.S. manufacturers and helps others, or that doubling the price of gasoline will hurt everybody, or that the current federal budget deficit is $1.3 trillion, and that the Amazon Kindle and Wal-Mart have nothing to do with its size.
