PROTECTIONISM

Do not green policies of protectionism also protect those foreign countries we trade with as we only live together on one green planet?

For instance would not the United States of America still be in its top competitive position, if it decreed that any goods companies from the United States make in foreign countries must also be manufactured with at least the same standards as we do here in the United States in terms of Safety, Pollution, human rights. Would we not have been leading the rest of the world by example a long time ago if we had better standards and held those standards to high esteem and pride to the foreign countries we trade with? To factories in foreign countries where we do business.

You can’t even udder the word protectionism because the people on television, the experts, the professionals, the highly paid “Intellects” do not know the word intellects true meanings. Intellect has indeed been given a bad name by our television experts that just complain and offer no solutions. Offering working solutions is the true definition of intellect. Not the ability to defeat premises by using semantic insult.

In other words if we were to uphold standards we should have the world would be in better shape. We eat fish caught in foreign waters polluted. Does not the breeze and currents move polluted air around the planet? Dissipation is not the answer.

Does anyone have the idea that maybe we should not pay to pollute somewhere else? Won’t it eventually find its way back to us and present itself with a myriad of problems our Republican leaders have swept under the rug.

The same issue of upholding our standards regarding the environment should apply to all issues regarding trade with foreign nations. This is how leaders maintain power, by example. Set a strong example of yourself in these terms and you will be a leader whether you know it or not. Set a firm set of standards for yourself in terms of trade and business will come your way. This is how leaders are recognized through the standards they profess. That is why it broke my heart to see George Bush and Cheney institute torture. Does anyone think less of them for this, besides me? Can you articulate why? They did not uphold the standards of democracy this country was founded on.

Set and maintain high standards of conduct, hard work and respect for others and you are a leader.

This is the form of protectionism this country needs. Would foreign countries be as competitive with the United States if they had to operate at or above all our standards? No. Would they seek to be like us? Yes. Is it too late for us to do this? It is always better to start and implement policies like this at any time. If we do not someone else will. That someone else is now China. Did George Bush and other Republican give the world a bloody image of us? Yes. Do not Republicans fight wrongly against everything I stand for every day? Yes. If you do not stand for upholding our high standards as an example to the rest of the world, do you believe in our countries standards yourself? No you do not. You are subversively evil and wicked and you do not belong here. Ohio and Salem should be no safe haven for you either. Go live somewhere else. You are traitors that ruin this country for you own self interest. Torturing, slave labor, inability to educate because of troublemakers, complacency with drugs, dumping of waste and runoff, complacency to crime, dirty smokestacks, dirty rivers, spoiled brats, religions promoting ideals without following a premise of logic. Will all the custom chemicals in our foods and waters make people to be born deformed like frogs without legs? It is happening already as our needs our subverted to keep rich persons miserable prima donna wives happy.

Protectionism indeed means a upholding standard of fairness as a leader, not having your mother defend you for bad things you do.
