We’re not. The left is largely opposed to globalisation. It’s you "non-liberals" who are generally in favour of it

I would like to know why thousand of jobs being outsourced over seas is not a problem for the Republicans in fact they even give companies tax brakes for doing it but they are upset because one oil rig is moving.

Because liberals hate the USA. Its ok to send jobs overseas as long as its a democrat in office

We’re furious about it. Why do we allow the importation of goods not made under the same labor and environmental laws that we must abide by? How can we possibly compete against such an unlevel playing field?
The first thing a republican would tell us is, "There’s nothing we can do about it."
Wrong! There is plenty we can do about it.

1. The US has not banned offshore drilling. It has placed a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling.
2. It affects currently 33 drilling sites. There are currently about 620 offshore platforms, so this will affect about 5% of rigs in the Gulf.
Outsourcing in the US started taking place in the 1980′s and has continued to grow every year. The presidents since then have done nothing to decrease it. George Bush’s administration outsourced everything from the building of jet fighters to microchips, etc. http://www.pacificprogressive.com/2010/0…
I guess you would rather not have any moratorium and end up dealing with 33 new sites of oil gushing into the Gulf.
You copy and paste your question, I’ll copy and paste my answer. Apparently, none of the facts you were given five minutes ago penetrated your brain.

Isn’t capitalism a basic tenet of conservatism?
The essence of capitalism is free trade.
So why do conservatives oppose globalization?
Anyhow, you should look up "insourcing."

Do you have any opinions of your own?
Liberals aren’t in favor of moving jobs overseas that was something started by Reagan and continued by Bush both of whom were Republican presidents.

We’re not. That’s the territory of you "free market" cons.

Liberals support keeping jobs here in the US to keep our Labor Unions happy. Conservatives are the ones that support giving tax breaks to companies that move these jobs overseas.
References :
Again, we’re not.
Do you not recognize corporate greed when you see it? The moratorium is over. Companies can resume drilling. It seems the company is more interested in raking in its $100 million profit than it is with keeping jobs in America.

Liberals have always demanded utter dependence on hostile foreign powers for our energy.

Now you see their true colors.
They hate capitalism, they want to send all jobs out of the USA.
They truly believe that they can all live by stealing money from the wealthy and living as lazy parasites.
We must get them out of our government and end this madness.

Anywhere a tax break can be created and provided to companies sending jobs overseas look for a Republican behind it. Anywhere a union protecting American jobs can be attacked, look for a Republican doing it. Anywhere politicians fight to exempt American companies from paying taxes on overseas earnings and place the tax load on the middle class look for a Republican behind it. Anywhere you see a middle class person voting against their own interests and in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy at their own expense, look for the Republican mark of deceit and fear based politics.

where in the hell are you getting your information? yeah the evil corporations are losing their stranglehold on america stomping their feet and running away….good riddance. the economy is in the condition it is in because of these republican loved corporations pulling up stakes moving out of america and expecting to be still considered an american company enjoying the tax breaks that comes with being an american Corporation…. if they move out of the country they are the traitors and if you Support them i guess that makes you one too!

why do you keep repeating the same questions ? americans are not glad jobs are going overseas . the only ones who are glad are the ones who are profiting from it . FREE TRADE IS NOT FREE – IT COSTS MILLIONS OF JOBS . so lets think for a minute . who is this small minority that is profiting ?

Where in your article does it say that liberals are happy about this news?
If you’re going to generalize liberals, at least try to make it look like you have some evidence to go along with it. All you did here is just quote a story and then attempt to make some invalid political point.
Companies are moving overseas because it’s cheaper there and this is a free country and the companies have the right to conduct their business as they wish. If you have a problem with that, contact the CEO, not liberals.
Thanks for the two points. Next troll please!

You know, it’s hilarious to watch you guys spin this stuff. Please, allow me to explain. There was no end of outrage after the spill began at how Obama had forced people to drill in the deep ocean. There was no end of outrage at the fact that U.S. companies weren’t allowed to drill there (still aren’t, thanks to a bill passed under Bush), mainly because foreign companies tend to have a really bad track record when it comes to safety on rigs. And now, now that they’re leaving, you’re outraged again? So what outrage should I believe, exactly?
Two reasons why this doesn’t matter. First, they’ll come back. Why wouldn’t they? Cheap oil leases that U.S. companies can’t access means that they get to have control over a large chunk of the oil supply. That’s great for them, they wont just leave and give it up. Second, let’s say they do all leave. What, do you think Obama will just say "moratorium’s permanent"? That’s ridiculous. Instead, he’ll lift the ban on U.S. companies drilling out there. Before you know it, they’ll have their rigs in the Gulf. And U.S. companies have a far better track record of complying with safety measures than BP did. So why exactly is this bad? You pick the first reason, and everything goes back exactly the way it was. You pick the second reason, and everything gets changed for the better. How is this getting worse exactly?

Most wealthy folks aren't born into wealth. They become wealthy by making great life decisions and seizing opportunities as they arise. This is discussed heavily in the book "The Millionaire Next Door."
And being poor is often due to poor decisions made in life.

Well in all fairness, we Americans are pretty mean to other countries, can't deny it.

“Liberals are liberals first. They're partisans first, whatever else they are. If they're feminists, they're still liberals first. If they're animal rights nuts, they're liberals first. If they are the hoaxers of climate change and global warming, they are liberals or socialists first — and the issues that they attach themselves to are simply their springboards, their jumping-off points for advancing liberalism and statism”.

The same applies to mishichistim. They are mishichistim because they are liberals (sick people), “the cause” or so called “believe” (Rebbe/Moshiach etc…) comes after. ]]>
