Sometimes its no use argeueing with these people who support "free" trade. They believe what Limbaugh, the WSJ op ed pages and their ilk tell them to believe. The so called mainstream conservative movment is every bit as bankrupt as liberalism was by the late 70s. The fact "free" traders can not follow though on simple logic, much less have any sense of history shows me their ideas are bankrupt.

One needs to be patient. It takes time and repetition before some people get the point. And when they get they might be not willing to admit it openly - it hurts to be found wrong in public.

RFT1; You mean like the quote below by rude that we will never be in another major war so we can now get rid of those anitquated factories and send them overseas?


Rude's quote: But it's not very likely that any future conflict will require the sort of private-to-public economic diversion on the scale of WWII. 419 posted on 09/21/2005 11:47:22 AM PDT by 1rudeboy

You got that right, that it until it affects them personally then they will change their tunes. Arguing with them is like a Warner Bros. cartoon character pushing a lump on his head down only to have it pop out from somewhere else. I know I get flak for this, but as Michael Savage said one night, "the free market only exists in textbooks." You have so many factors in the economy, mostly by human nature that affect it all. I'm not much into mainstream conservatism, I'm more of an "independent conservative" again, as Michael Savage would put it.

Exactly why this country needs a right wing wacko fringe demagogue like Pat Buchanan to straighten things out!

That's rich. The only ones supplying facts and employing logic here are the proponents of freer trade. I don't suppose you'd have any facts you'd like to share with us that support, in any way, your claims that free trade has bankrupted our economy. I'm sure you can find a study somewhere that proves that the amount of prosperity and wealth a country experiences is directly correlated to the amount government control exercised over the economy.

The fact that, in your entire reply, you couldn't find a single example of anyone's faulty logic leads me to believe that either you have no idea, or are too thick to figure it out yourself.
