My latest column on Townhall seems to have angered quite a few people, at least judging from the angry e-mails in my inbox. I tackled free trade this week, and as I suspected, this one touched a nerve. Here are some of the e-mails I received so far.

This is the biggest bunch of horsefeathers I’ve seen.

The “free” trade policies you speak of are nothing of the sort.

Benefitting the American citizen, NOPE!

Looks like you work for big business.

Here’s another:

o by, you will not see how foolish your comments on free trade were in 2007. Age gives a wisdom that books do not, and as an aging very conservative businessman, I can only tell you that I believe you are dead wrong. As an aside, to worry about whether the unions are now right or wrong is not material. There have been times in the past when they were needed and there might be times in the future when they will be needed again. The worry is whether free trade is good or bad in the long run, for the US. The times we are living in right now are only a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things, and I fear you might get an answer you do not expect in this fleeting moment. In any case as life passes for you I think you will find that you did not REALLY begin to learn anything until about the age of 55 or 60.

And another:

Boy o Boy are you out of touch.

And finally, there’s this gem:

as a true conservative and a christian it really shakes my head when conservatives tell me the economy is great we 9 trillion in debt and going deeper all the time people lose jobs and retrain at a lower wage red china getting stronger and we are weaker constant budget cuts as a veteran i cant even go to the va cuz i make to much?900hr plus my wife works at walmart america is dieing we and i vote republican but im not blind bob with all do respect george lives in a ivory tower
