It has not always been so. Protectionism has been official policy before, and this was especially true during the Hoover years. Hoover was a Republican president, in case you didn't know.
National Review are just a bunch of fan boys for free trade uber alles. They want to define conservativism as globalism. As for myself, I am not of that opinion. True conservatism is more in keeping with strict attention to national interest. Globalism does not do this. Globalism will sacrifice national interest to the rest of the world. Even if the rest of the world is hostile to American interests?
This is not to be construed as in defense of protectionism. I am for free trade, but with limits. Hence, I am not for free trade uber alles ( above all). The limits are defined as being in the national interest.
