U.S. financial generosity to our allies after World War II included giving them special trade advantages to help them speed up their post-war recovery. We agreed that they could rebate to their producers any indirect taxes they paid on goods they exported to us, and they could also impose an equal charge on any U.S. products they imported.
Continue reading →Economists, academicians and financial consultants for years have been preaching that globalism is the wave of the future and that anyone who wants to survive in business must ride its surfboard or drown. All of a sudden, Business Week is having second thoughts.
Continue reading →Did the 2006 election teach Republicans that it is smart to be friends of the middle class? Have Republicans realized that jobs were second only to the unpopular war as the issue of 2006, and will surely be the number-one issue in 2008?

Rep. Virgil Goode (VA), Rep. Ron Paul (TX), Rep. Walter Jones (NC), and Rep. Tom Tancredo (CO) introduced House Concurrent Resolution 487 — Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.
Continue reading →To President Bush’s approval of the $6.5 billion sale of terminals at six of our most important ports to the United Arab Emirates, Americans are shouting, “That needs to change.” We are fed up with the post-9/11 failure (i.e., the refusal) of the Bush Administration to secure our borders and ports.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what’s really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the “establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community” with a common “outer security perimeter.”
Continue reading →Since democracy is the worldwide goal of the Bush Administration, we must face the stunning fact that the integration of different nationalities under a common European Union (EU) constitution was rejected by decisive democratic votes.
Continue reading →Those who believe in American sovereignty and/or our unique principle of federalism are waking up to the damage that CAFTA will do to both. Its fate in Congress is uncertain and bipartisan opposition is growing.
Continue reading →The handover of power to Iraq by the victorious American forces has stimulated public discussion about a word that seems to have fallen in disfavor in the last few years: sovereignty. That means the ability of a government to act without being subject to the legal control of another country or international organization, restrained only by moral principles.
Continue reading →The Bush Administration tried to camouflage its 180-degree reversal of its tariffs on imported steel with happy talk about an improved economy and efficiency efforts by the domestic steel industry. But nobody’s fooled; the Bush Administration ceded control of U.S. trade policy to a bunch of bureaucrats in Geneva who meet and decide in secret, and from whose ukases there is no appeal.
Continue reading →Trade representatives from 34 Western Hemisphere countries (all except Cuba) are now gathering in Miami to take the next step to expand NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) into the hemisphere-wide Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).
Continue reading →American businessmen and farmers are finally waking up to how they were sold a bill of goods by those who promised that China would be a profitable billion-mouth market if we just gave that developing country Most Favored Nation trade privileges and assisted its admission into the World Trade Organization (WTO). Like Claude Rains in “Casablanca,” the Bush Administration is “shocked, shocked” to discover that Communists don’t play by the rules or keep their promises.
Continue reading →The big argument for the tax cut just signed by President Bush is that it will create much-needed jobs. But one big question remains: will those jobs be created for Americans, or will corporations simply hire more job-seekers from India and China?
Continue reading →Having had to retreat from legislative attempts to establish a national ID card through Social Security numbers or unique health care identifiers, Congress seems to be trying a new tack to implement this wholly un-American idea.
Continue reading →Where are all those strict-constructionist Republicans who’ve been complaining about activist judges who don’t respect the fact that the U.S. Constitution gives “all legislative powers” to the Congress? Don’t those Republicans realize that it is just as unconstitutional to transfer legislative powers to the executive branch?
Continue reading →Most conservatives are so happy that we now have a President who has restored dignity to the White House. We are pleased that he brings a moral dimension to his actions and isn’t squeamish about acknowledging his religious faith.
Continue reading →American freedom absolutely depends on maintaining our independence and sovereignty as well as the integrity of the United States Constitution, all of which are under massive attack from many sources.
Continue reading →President Clinton’s Chinese benefactors and the multinational importers are demanding that he bully Congress into continuing China’s Most Favored Nation (MFN) trading status, already renamed Normal Trade Relations (NTR). Now the plan is to grease China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) by making this favorable treatment permanent (PNTR).
Continue reading →It wasn’t just idle words when Bill Clinton said he “loathed” the military. He has damaged U.S. Armed Services in so many ways that it’s no wonder morale, recruitment and retention levels are at all-time lows.
Continue reading →Now we know why the Democrats were so vicious in their attacks on Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) and Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN). Theirs were the committees that were closing in on the China connection, the scandal that can bring down the Clinton presidency, the scandal that has made Congressmen start to utter the T word (treason).
Continue reading →Why does the Clinton Administration insist on financing the military buildup of China when that huge country could eventually pose a threat to the United States comparable to the Soviet threat that hung over us for so many years of the Cold War?
Continue reading →All segments of the conservative movement are united in opposing Most Favored Nation (MFN) status and World Trade Organization (WTO) membership for Communist China. Newt Gingrich has a golden opportunity to step out in front of his troops and lead them to victory on this issue.
Continue reading →The phrase “New World Order” was not invented by President George Bush, but it was popularized by him in 1990 in order to resuscitate the then-moribund United Nations and make it a sponsor of his Gulf War. Like Saddam Hussein, the New World Order concept survived the Gulf War intact.
