I believe GWB signed the CFR into law thinking the USSC would strike the offending parts to the first amendment. He knew and simply did not do what is right.
Tell me directly that the US has no imbalance of international trade. Please tell me and others how that is so.
So, GWB was demonstrating his conservatism by sending $15 billion to a shite hole in Africa to fight AIDS? Tell me directly that he is conservative again.
You throw around the words "idiots" and "dumb" and awful lot. Me thinks you protest too much. Keep those thoughts to yourself, Ditto head.
Speculation wrt Bush's beliefs about CFR are irrelevant as is the law as far as anything important is concerned. It crimps political parties to a small degree but certainly stops nothing significant. Congress has the authority to regulate federal elections as per the Constitution and the Supreme Court.
We do not have a "Trade Deficit" since that concept has meaning only when Gold is the ultimate standard of settlement. Currently we trade dollars for goods but that does not have the same impact as sending gold to another country as was the case prior to 1973. It may also be of interest for you to know that the US persistently had a Trade Deficit until the 1870s when it really did mean something. This period was one of tremendous economic growth for the nation.
It is in the National Interest that states in Africa not collapse thus aid is defensible when its provision will reduce the potential for even greater costs in the future.
Conservativism is not hiding in a hole and pulling the covers over one's head hoping everything will turn out ok somehow.
I will reveal such thoughs as I wish and do not consider "dittohead" much of an insult particularly coming from a Lover of Losers.
