Conservatives LOVE the way the Chinese Govt control everything. Don't let the PEOPLE decide. Govt knows best.

Bush: 'If this were a dictatorship it would be a heck of a lot easier... as long as I'm the dictator. Hehehe.'

We suddenly love China?

I think they're in dire need of a revolution, but whatever you say.

The only country we love with a passion is Israel. They can run their tanks over American protestors, Hijack the Freedom Flotilla ships and kill Americans on board. And all we can do is turn our backs. While sending them Billions and Billions in Aid and Weapons.

Which they in turn sell to our enemies.

Who was it that signed the new trade agreement? Lots of blame all around.

This might possible be true of progressive neocons. You know, the ones that carry water for PC, open borders and trade, and corporations. I think you are taking W and a joke out of context, but I don't deny he was a neocon, RINO, progressive.

Conservatives don't love China. If anything I am tired of liberals pointing to Chinas Communistic tendencies when we want to advance something like renewable energy then decrying China for its human rights abuses. If anything Conservatives fear that liberals want to turn the US into China and social conservatives see themselves as being treated like the Tibetans.

The people who control Republicans have made a fortune in China. Ask the Walton Family. But it is more than the fortune. It is the ability to draw Chinese 10 cents/hour workers against American (Union) workers. Chinese lack of regulation vs against the regulations in America. China is the ideal country for most conservatives. Of course, they would be the ones running it, not the ones living in it.
