Your post is irrelevant. By your misguided reasoning, the Founder Thomas Jefferson is a traitor because he was a globalist.

You're an idiot. Jefferson was protecting our shipping and exports from pirates which has NOTHING to do with imports and import duties.

Someone suggesting an embargo could be called an isolationist, but proposing a modest import duty, no. Every founding father was a protectionist! Fighting British mercantilism was the prime motivator for the whole war/rebellion, a fact neo libertarians like to forget.
