US Isolationism?

[5.56X45mm]

Free Trade is what is killing this nation.
The US Constitution mandates Tariffs and Duties placed on Imports, as trade starts to hurt the US the Tariffs and Duties need to be jacked up.
There are nations that use slave labor, the USA cannot compete with such nations.

That is because the founding fathers knew far more when they created this great nation than what those today know.

1. Closing borders will disrupt trade therefore isolating America
2. Outsourcing is a decision made by private firms because they want to lower costs. If you want to impede their decisions, go ahead and lets see what will happen the next day.
3. Its already above what the WWII/1980 standards was. Military Expenditure is already at its top and climbing.
4. Forcefully dragging citizens into war is not the American Way. If you support this, then American has become the next Fascist regime.
5. This is the particular reason why a College Education is important.
6. Halt all aide to Africa? Africa has already favored China over the United States for economic aide.
7. Like.....losing the credibility about Human Rights and lying to the United Nations about the main reasons of entering into Iraq?
8. You support crushing political opposition and executing every terrorist suspects. There is no doubt that innocent people will be killed in this kind of process. It is more effective to prevent people from becoming terrorists than to kill every terrorist.

This list appears to be fascist by supporting strongly for militarism, crushing opposition and dissent (especially against liberials and communists), xenophobic by closing the borders entirely from immigration. If the United States follows this policy, you will never become an American citizen ever in your life.

Kinda resembles East Germany after WWII.

BTW Cabal, the US has used conscription and a draft numerous times through out our history. Let's see, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam, to name a few.

vietnam ruined that system, the current volunteer force should work out alright, but it just can't handle a large war on the scale of past conflicts, that's why we're having problems today with it.

Anyway, i think this country can curtail a lot of its military activity and concentrate on domestic activity which should logically improve everyone's lot, i would hope.

That... and the fact that they didn't have to worry about global economic on an unprecedented scale. It's a bit like Malthus, who came up with an interesting theory about demography. Unfortunatly he missed a detail which was later named the Industrial Revolution.....
