Haha, no but I am sure they think they are being logical. Though being against something because an opposite political point of view is for something is just ignorant, which is what we are seeing here.

Conservatives aren't so bright to begin with so this doesn't surprise me.

Precisely! If ardent anti-American liberal freaks are opposing TPP, then it must be a good thing for the nation and the people. "Ardent Democrats" would never oppose anything that might cause harm to the nation and the people. ObamaCare is a perfect example.

Therefore, if the anti-American liberal freaks oppose it, I support it.

This is the biggest problem with conservatives. Many of us decide that if a liberal is for it we must be against it. This is assbackwards reasoning.
You think conservatives should support what anti-American liberal freaks support?!?!?!?

Now that is just crazy talk.

All the more reason to support TPP.

You are the progressive's poster child!

If Reagan knew what NAFTA would have done to this country he would have opposed it. He was duped, just as anyone for TPP has been duped.

Wake up damn it!
Progressives have stolen the nation because you support their agenda. Whereas I always oppose it. If Progressives support it, I oppose it. If Progressives oppose it, I support it. Your support of the anti-American liberal freak agenda is truly disgusting.

North Korea is a prime example of what isolationism will get you. We live in a global economy. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee.

So who is for globalization then? Thought that was a free market capitalist thing? Or are you saying SourD is a progressive anti-capitalist person?

There is a huge divide between isolationism and globalism. Doing business with the globe is not a bad thing, but globalism in the Progressive mindset is ALL about leveling the playing field and exporting our wealth to other countries. "Managed Decline" is what it's REALLY called. Also, having multinational corporations with foreign shareholders operating in America isn't that good for our economy, they don't care about American workers, they ONLY care about sucking as much money out of our country as possible and vice-versa. We need to halt these trade agreements and manufacture our OWN stuff for our OWN people and export the left overs. For example, for as many cars as we have on the roads, why do we import tires from China? Why don't we make them here and sell them here? Why do nuts grown in California mainly go to foreign countries while we import those same nuts from foreign countries to sell to our people? It makes absolutely ZERO sense! We should be selling homegrown goods to OUR people FIRST and think about export after WE are taken care of. Tariffs are another thing that is lacking and is killing our economy.
