just read it, ace.

there's every reason to renegociate any number of bush-period bilateral trade agreements, particularly with latin american countries. colombia is a particularly brutal situation, and gives a pretty good idea of *some* of the reasons this is the case.

you seem to rely on arbitrary infotainment patched together for dilletantes by dilletantes.
but there is no necessary connection between being conservative and not having accurate information.
it is a choice. you have made a choice to adopt a politics that does not require you know anything to speak of about a question before you take a position on it. populist conservatism even tries to make a virtue of not knowing what you're talking about and not caring about that but having positions anyway.
we've been subjected to 8 years of the consequences of this sort of "understanding."
it's turned out real well.
