Aww, Who Needed That Ally Anyhow?
So, this is what working closely with our allies and improving our standing in the world looks like?
The Democratic Party’s protectionist make-over was completed yesterday, when Nancy Pelosi decided to kill the Colombia free trade agreement. Her objections had nothing to do with the evidence and everything to do with politics, but this was an act of particular bad faith. It will damage the economic and security interests of the U.S. while trashing our best ally in Latin America.
As the Journal points out, every reason Pelosi has given for stabbing Colombia in the back has turned out to be Grade A Premium Bullflop. All she’s doing is kowtowing to the usual suspects that drive the Democratic Party and fill her campaign coffers with cold hard cash. It’s a shame that she has to sell out an entire country to keep that cash coming in.
As a side note, if you want to to know what really drives the hatred for our country around the world, you don’t have to look much farther than Pelosi’s extended middle finger toward Colombia.
