>> You and your xenophobe friends won't get any tears from me <<
thanks for exposing your true agenda. as my 'xenophobic' friends and i have often said, free trade is not just some economic ideology, it is a religion. this is nothing new.
richard cobden and his free trade utopian friends at the anti-corn law league confirmed this back in the mid-19th century.
"Free Trade, Peace and Good-Will Among Nations." --Anti-Corn Law League Slogan
later on, the liberal utopian internationalist cordell hull (chairman of the house ways and means committee) authored the first federal income tax bill in 1913, which not only instituted the first permanent income tax, but lowered tariffs significantly as well. as secretary of state for twelve years under FDR, he negotiated further trade agreements resulting in the lowering of tariffs further.
Although Hull participated in some of the policy making conferences of the Allies, his major effort during the later stages of World War II was that of preparing a blueprint for an international organization dedicated to the maintenance of peace and endowed with sufficient legislative, economic, and military power to achieve it. Although obliged because of the precarious state of his health to resign as secretary of state in late November, 1944, Hull nonetheless served as a member of and senior adviser to the American delegation to the United Nations Conference in San Francisco in 1945.
"Toward 1916 I embraced the philosophy I carried throughout my twelve years as Secretary of State...From then on, to me, unhampered trade dovetailed with peace; high tariffs, trade barriers, and unfair economic competition, with war --Cordell Hull
as you can see nothing changes. internationalists who believe in a one-world government utopia use free trade as their primary vehicle. the great german nationalist economist friedrich list said, "Economic unity and political unity are twins: one cannot be born without the other following,".
free traitors (socialist utopians) know full well that the way to get their one-world heaven on earth is to get all the nations trading as much as possible. everyone will have a greater stake in the global economy which will supersede their allegiance to their country. one-worldism is incompatible with allegiance to one's country. that is why free trade is the new pledge of allegiance in america. bow to the gods of the global economy and free markets.
"What doth it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, but loseth his country?"
as you said, "if the steel companies can't compete in the free world market, then good riddance!" you place a higher priority on subservience to the global economy than you do to the welfare of your country. you are all mixed up. you believe economy comes first, above the country. wrong. the country comes first and the economy must be tailored to suit the country. sounds like you pledge allegiance not to america, but to a higher authority -- the global free market. the neo-marxists have done a real good con job brainwashing americans. perhaps you are not even an american.
"What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system, a first step to a new world order." NAFTA represents "the vital first step for a new kind of community of nations". --Henry Kissinger, Los Angeles Times July 18, 1993
"Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept" --Strobe Talbott, Deputy Secretary of State and Bill Clinton's Oxford roommate Time July 1992
"By expanding trade, we can advance the cause of freedom and democracy around the world." --Bill Clinton 1997 State of the Union Address
mr "citizen of the world", bill clinton can hardly resist the fantasy lure of a socialist-inspired freedom and democracy movement around the world. too bad there are a billion muslims who aren't playing along. let's not leave out the bush family. they have bought into this socialist-marxist utopia as well.
"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance." --President George Bush, February 1, 1992
"This century has taught us...that isolationism and protectionism lead to war and deprivation." --President George Bush
and his son...
"I want to end tariffs; break down barriers, everywhere, so the whole world trades in freedom." --George W Bush, in his book "A Charge to Keep"
let's not leave out the media as conspirators in this worldwide socialist revolution that wants to diminish the sovereignty of america:
"...[I]f we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict, we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government... we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order." -- Walter Cronkite
free trade has always been about ending war and tearing down borders and nationalities, thereby creating a heaven on earth where man doesn't have to look forward to the afterlife, he can create it himself right here and now. it is godless, and it is egocentric, and fails to take into account the fallen nature of man. it is a slap in the face to God, and that is why free trade religion is a convenient replacement for traditional religion, just as the marxists had hoped.

i don't know who your forefathers are, but i can assure you my forefathers didn't buy into this notion of one-world government. thomas jefferson and john adams both died on the 50th anniversary of the declaration of independence. (July 4th, 1826). there is some controversy as to adams' last words being "jefferson still lives!", but there is no controversy as to the toast he made on his deathbed shortly before that.
he said, "independence forever!"
"The only constitutional exception to the power of making treaties is, that it shall not change the Constitution... On natural principles, a treaty, which should manifestly betray or sacrifice primary interests of the state, would be null.... A treaty cannot be made, which alters the Constitution of the country or which infringes any express exceptions to the power of the Constitution of the United States." -- Alexander Hamilton
"I do verily believe that..a single, consolidated government would become the most corrupt government on the earth." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800
"The way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the function he is competent to." --Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1816
"What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or of the aristocrats of a Venetian Senate." --Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1816 |
