Be A Proud One Issue Voter

Politicians fear the one issue voter because they cannot be negated or diffused. It forces politicians to deal with the issue. Strong one issue voting blocks are a politician's  nightmare. If politicians can't divide them they try to belittle them. If the Catholic vote stood for one issue in one national election- pro- abortion forces would be defeated for good.

It's not Wages or even Benefits -It's "Free Trade"

The decline of American manufacturing has at its core the "free Trade" as defined by elitist Democrats and international business Republicans. "Free Trade" is only free for those countries shipping into America. It has been in vogue to blame union wages, poor management, and benefits, when the problem is currency control, political trade deals,government dumping and even economic warfare. Trump has at least opened the window on the political nature of 'free trade."

Is Trump Part of the Manufacturing Dream

No candidate since William Taft has offered more for America's manufacturing. More importantly he understands what de-industrialization has done to the country. the problems of the inter city are a direct result of de-industrialization. De-industrialization of our cities has caused the economic and social death spiral
First trade policies destroy manufacturing plants and jobs
Second Unemployment and welfare over load resources
Third tax base and population  erosion hits government workers and teachers
Fourth bankruptcies, failed union pensions, crime, educational decline, drugs, graduation rates plummet
Fifth Third World communities

There's only Manufacturing Choice for President

Donald Trump-
My PhD and life has been manufacturing -- I was born into a Pittsburgh manufacturing family. I'AM a CONSERVATIVE tired of hearing that you must believe in what we today call free trade- there is no example of free trades except between the states of America-- what we have today is international socialism- distributing the wealth by international bodies through trade!! I a McKinley Republican believing in reciprocity in trade and balanced benefit/wage pricing without currency manipulation.
If you think free trade is the root of American capitalism - visit Detroit, Buffalo, Fostoria, Gary, Braddock, McKeesport, Flint, and Trenton. Spent a night downtown in the glories of free trade.

Is NAFTA thicker than Blood

By 2005, the views espoused in 1947 by the Mont Pelerin Society (Free Trade Globalists) were the mainstream stuff of economic textbooks. The victims of America’s de-industrialization would now have to face the theory in the classroom as they returned to school in an effort to prepare for a new career. A displaced single mom, Alison Murray from a Fostoria, Ohio sparkplug factory, faced this irony on her return to school. Alison noted in an interview with the editor of Harper’s Magazine: “So it was like getting slapped in the face… the very first class I took, the very first page of the textbook [i][justifies my layoff].” The destruction of a town or city or even a country is treated as progress or a shining example of freedom via world capitalism. Alison would argue with her professor that the theory sounds good to you unless you have to live its application. Economic theory puts no price on the cost of freedom.  Her fellow displaced workers were the sons and daughters of veterans who had fought for freedom, and their blood in theory has no economic value. American blood had brought peace and democracy to the world, not economics. That blood included that spilled in wage battles in our democracy over centuries. the next meeting of North American trade leaders should be held in Fosteria or downtown Detroit.

brexit - First Shot in the De-Globalization War

the Brexit vote was carried by the industrial districts of England. It was here the the once great industries and workers were sold out to the secret global trade deals. the elite and the bankers profited and they sold the virtues of "free" trade as a foundation to capitalism. They won (fooled) over conservatives, liberals, and the press, ignoring the the reality of Liverpool and Manchester. America needs to take back its industrial might also - the revolution must start in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago and the smaller cities of the industrial midwest. Trump maybe our last hope.

Briefly - What is American Exceptionalism

American Exceptionalism- is not arrogance but humility- it is the acknowledgment of God's blessings. it is not pride but a realization of how God has blessed the nation. Exceptionalism without God is not possible

what would be a fair tariff

the following costs are not in most country product cost but are in ours
1. pension costs
2. health care - obama care is still paid by company
3. a living wage
3. currency pegging -- a favorite of China
4. the cost of American blood - our country over the years as asked American workers to put down thier tools and take up arms to fight against many country -- the nation owes these workers to protect their jobs first

What is the Exceptional Dream?

An Exceptional Dream is the merger of Christianity, American democracy and capitalism
