Show of hands, fellow Democrats. How many of you would choose to let your job go overseas?

23. Hmm, you don't like it when your own debate tactics are used against you, eh?

You have repeatedly accused me of having a problem with foreigners because I oppose American jobs leaving the country. You routinely post misguided polls that purportedly show Republicans oppose free trade more than Democrats, in an attempt to paint me as being more of a Republican than a Democrat.

Now it is apparent that you can't, however, handle it when you are reminded that your views support discrimination against Americans. You especially won't like it if you are told that John Boehner supports your view on offshoring, as do the Koch Brothers and the US Chamber of Commerce. You complain and get indignant when you are made a victim of your own behavior.

Let's get with the facts here. Your views are discriminatory against American workers. Protectionism is about keeping jobs that produce goods and services for the American market, in America. You have a problem with that. You don't have a problem with Americans being locked out of those jobs, but you do have a problem with us trying to keep them here. This is not deniable. Your posts stand to serve as proof of this. You don't want Americans to enact laws that keep American jobs from leaving the country.

Your views are harmful to America's working class. America's working class stands to lose greatly if your views win out. Your arguments have nothing to offer Americans. We have no reason, then, to accept what you are selling. At some point you must realize this.
