Alot of his predictions have been right on, and he's always backed up his theories with both facts and past situations that resemble our current position. Buchanan is a good man but the press makes him out to being a monster.<BR/><BR/>Dan, we can agree, let's leave it at that.

I, too, am very opposed to NAFTA and other "free" trade agreements, although maybe for different reasons than you.<BR/><BR/>A total laissez-faire will encourage/IS encouraging a "race to the bottom." Whichever country is willing to do the least to govern the rights of workers and the cost to the environment will get the jobs. This will only serve to drive down workers' incomes, make jobs less just and wreck our economy. Not a great thing, seems to me.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to more thoughts on this. Seems like the "free" trade issue is an area where some conservatives and progressives could come together. I only hate that it's because of Pat Buchanan that you've reached this conclusion.<BR/><BR/>Talk about your dark side!Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714543.post-1134840185002787172005-12-17T11:23:00.000-06:002005-12-17T11:23:00.000-06:00Rick: You like Gingrich, eh?It was Newtie, the Po...Rick: You like Gingrich, eh?<BR/><BR/>It was Newtie, the Pointy-Head, who slammed through MFN for Red China, the single most brutal Gummint on the face of the Earth.<BR/><BR/>His choice of "friends" leaves a lot to be desired--and your approval of his foreign policy--that is, 'let the Fortune 500 dictate' is not particularly encouraging.<BR/><BR/>China should be kicked out of WTO and stripped of MFN status until China acknowledges AND demonstrates an understanding of human rights.<BR/><BR/>As to "high tariffs not working..."--perhaps. But either the US is the world's single largest market, or it is not. Are you suggesting that foreign countries will no longer attempt to sell their goods in the US if we establish a tariff?<BR/><BR/>Are you suggesting that "equal tariffs" are unfair to the USA?<BR/><BR/>Get serious.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714543.post-1134774712357885192005-12-16T17:11:00.000-06:002005-12-16T17:11:00.000-06:00I believe Rick is right.

Going back to the days of isolationism, high tariffs, etc will not work in today's global economy. We can still do it if we have to, but the type of economy we have has changed. I'm not all that thrilled how everyone is on the bandwagon about China either.<BR/><BR/>Be careful about Pat Buchanan. We may joke about the dark side, but he may truly be the antithesis of the Jedi. I'd rather follow Newt's ideas and Rush's and be upbeat. Let the Left be gloom and doom, and us find the workable solutions in today's world.Rick's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806926724889456380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714543.post-1134766764986766062005-12-16T14:59:00.000-06:002005-12-16T14:59:00.000-06:00It is good to see you are not some ideologue who i...It is good to see you are not some ideologue who is not open to reason and facts.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the darkside young luke.<BR/><BR/>I will be back.<BR/><BR/>www.ravingconservative.comDaniel Levesquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888561243311690245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714543.post-1134766280395941702005-12-16T14:51:00.000-06:002005-12-16T14:51:00.000-06:00Welcome home, young grasshopper.Welcome home, young grasshopper.Disgruntled Car Salesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151648076485580643noreply@blogger.com
