It's pretty important to remember than Mint isn't your average conservative and views things like free trade, globalization and neo-liberal reforms as negative
That's not exactly a minority view among self-IDing conservatives. The open borders, cosmopolitan mentality of the WSJ/Economist crowd seems pretty self evidently hostile to traditionalism and nationalism anyway.
I'd reckon to say that most conservatives would actively oppose free trade and demand a change if they actually decided to research issues every once and a while, what with the "Buy American" and xenophobia that runs rampant in the GOP. Or maybe they do, but have different priorities, such as the Kenyan usurper sitting in the Oval Office.
The battle against neoliberalism was lost a long time ago, though.
