1. That's a typical reaction from conservatives...
Any time you discuss trade with them and tell them about the fundamental flaws in NAFTA, the WTO and any other free trade agreement the U.S. is involved in, right away they argue that you are an isolationist and if it were up to you, you'd build a wall around the U.S. and not allow trade of any kind to take place.

The concept of a NAFTA or the WTO are OK, but they are not what their supporters claim. Using these idiots' logic, I guess if you take a rusted out Vega and tell them it's a spankin' new Lincoln, they will pay you a Lincoln price for the Vega, because that's what you labeled it.

Same thing with Bush and his warmongering policy. You try to explain that things could have been handled differently to any of his stooges, right away, you're branded as unpatriotic and you don't support your troops.

Typical wingnut logic. They can never debate on the facts and always have to degrade the conversation to some name-calling contest.
