The failure of neocon ideas about capitalism and freedom

Pigweed and Crowhill review Flying Dog’s Lucky SOB, an Irish Red Ale, and then talk about China.

Who was the genius who decided to make the U.S. economy so dependent on China? And why isn’t the media exposing this dangerous, lopsided relationship?

Our China policy seems to have developed from the idea that a free market is going to result in freedom. But … does that follow?

We brought these monsters into the World Trade Organization — with “most favored nation” status — on the silly hope that more capitalism would make them love freedom. Or something.

As a result of George Bush’s foolish Chinese policy, we now have Huawei — a Chinese telecom company — installing spyware everywhere in the world. Thanks, George.
