When did Obama employ trade protectionism?

Weak attempt by the way. I expect more from a varsity letterman.

He was knocked for it by the right wing think tanks.

Not surprising at all that you view the Cato Institute as “right wing”

Might wanna read up on them, Reek

I'm having a hard time figuring out why you feel the need for name-calling..?
What does that get you other than identifying how petty you are - what's it do for the debate..?

Good question. Only an uninformed fool could think that ...

How to Label Cato

“Conservative” smacks of an unwillingness to change, of a desire to preserve the status quo. Only in America do people seem to refer to free‐​market capitalism — the most progressive, dynamic, and ever‐​changing system the world has ever known — as conservative. Additionally, many contemporary American conservatives favor state intervention in some areas, most notably in trade and into our private lives.

“Classical liberal” is a bit closer to the mark, but the word “classical” fails to capture the contemporary vibrancy of the ideas of freedom.

“Liberal” may well be the perfect word in most of the world — the liberals in societies from China to Iran to South Africa to Argentina tend to be supporters of human rights and free markets — but its meaning has clearly been altered in the contemporary United States.

The Jeffersonian philosophy that animates Cato’s work has increasingly come to be called “libertarianism” or “market liberalism.” It combines an appreciation for entrepreneurship, the market process, and lower taxes with strict respect for civil liberties and skepticism about the benefits of both the welfare state and foreign military adventurism.

Would it be better if he called him Theon instead?

Thus...kalm is a Jeffersonian conservative.

That’s his name now - after his Alex Jones level conspiracy explosion of a Russia Russia Russia thread

So when he says something Reek-y (like the Cato Institute is right wing) he gets the Reek

What if I called him an “ankle biting mental chihuahua”? Would that be OK?

Good. I was worried you were an uninformed fool.

Actually I am. I've gotten so much done at home since this all started. Saving YUGE amounts of money too.

Are you back in the U.S. yet or still hiding out in a Malaysian brothel?

I'm tired of winning.
