Rest and Relaxation…

I was on top of this, before Barack Obama [and remember when he took a different stance, when running for U.S. Senate, against our candidate, Dr. Alan Keyes... who also took the traditionalist conservative stance, on trade and economic nationalism]. …

See, the first thing I think when I see the logo with “Buy American, vote Obama” is that it’s trying to urge me to buy American by voting Obama, which ironically reminds me that Obama is technically less American than John McCain (you know, the time spent overseas during his youth and all). Yes, I am prepared for all the charges of racism that I must now face.

i’m all for free trade, but we should abide by the exact rules our trading partners set. if they have a 20% tarriff on our products, we should have a 20% tarriff on their products. if they create a trade barrier such as no beef fed with antibiotic supplements, we impose a barrier of no seafood except those caught on a hook and line. we have lost our tv industry, our stereo industry, and are about to lose our auto industry.

I’m all for buy American, but take out the text on that logo and you have a perfect representation of the goatse. I mean fingers and all. Do their graphic designers have internet access?

While he’s probably being disengenuous, I do agree with a policy of “buy American” for government goods… especially defense items. I’m all for international competition for civilian market goods, but buying, say, a fleet of Japanese cars when we can get them here for a similar price is just stupid. If that makes me protectionist, I’m in good company… the Founding Fathers favored high tariffs to protect American industry. Me, I just favor a “buy American” mandate for Gov purchases, unless there’s something we need that we absolutely cannot make here.

Pat Buchanan is probably the most insightful commentator in America, in most areas.

Free trade is the equivalent of laissez faire, with our country the passive victim. We trade; the rest of the world competes.

In science, a theory is considered valid if it can predict results. It is said that economics was invented to make weathermen look good. One could conclude that much economic theory is not valid if it fails in prediction. Sadly global economic theories can’t be tested in a lab like many science theories, so we can only try free trade, open borders, and massive immigration and watch while our once great country goes down the drain.

Things to remember:

Un-American: “Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen – a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.”

American: “I speak today as both a citizen of the United States and of the world.”

I think the Messiah should pick Buchanan for VP. Hell when Pat ran for president, his VP was a communist. Buchanan would probably jump at the chance. All these politicians stink to the high heavens.
