We should only have free trade with free and developed nations.

Even some "free traders" admit that true "Free trade" can only happen when their is a community of similar economies participating.

However many are not able to give up the pretense that you can conduct "free trade" with communist governments.

However many are not able to give up the pretense that you can conduct "free trade" with communist governments.

The only thing the free traders have demonstrated is their lack of moral fortitude and their willingness to sell out the country. If their values could be packaged and sold we would find them dumped in the discount bin at the local Walmart. They don't care if their kids have to grow up under the constant threat of China's guns so long as they can buy that discounted pair of tennis shoes today. If later in life, their kids choose to repay them in kind, it will be well deserved.
