[Homestead] globalism & isolationism- was B. C.'s latest achievement

I'm told "our friends the Saudis" are under suspicion.

Repeating B. C.'s false dichotomy won't do it.  The alternative to what 
we have now is not isolationism, but limited trade.  But refraining from 
trading with the world's largest human rights violator does not make a 
government protectionist either way.

What so worrying is that all it takes for B. C.'s grand scheme of social 
engineering to be a total economy-crushing failure is for other 
countries' citizens to decide they don't like us, and cease to buy our 
products.  Which value-added product of ours is it that the 
rank-and-file Chinese buy, besides cigarettes?  Is there any realistic 
hope they'll ever be able to afford a can of spam anyway, FTMP, living 
in a communist trickle-down economy?

It's true they're all globalists, and all future major-party candidates 
will be, if I bet correctly, but it took the assurance of a president 
from both parties for the globalists to proceed with this level of 
confidence.
