And you crawl around like Grumpy Cat.

Walmart is at this very moment reviving the Made In America stock. It is not Walmart that has caused American manufacturing to decrease. It is the Federal Government and if you aren’t aware of all the ways this is accomplished you read FR with your eyes closed.

Indians and other East Asians own the convenience stores and the small rural motels because they have a financial plan and everyone in the family contributes to it by working hard. I’ve stayed in some of those motels and watched this dynamic in action. I’m willing to bet that the younger Asians all have university degrees in hard sciences, too or at least in economics. There is an intelligence about them and an intensity lacking in many young Americans.

While our food costs rise, the rise is way worse in Europe and other members of the AngloSphere. My experience is years out of date and is from Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific islands and parts of the Caribbean, but I agree that we have more choice, more variety and better prices relative to income and taxes than do the Pacific democracies.

The longest I have ever been gone from America was 3 months. I literally kissed the ground when I returned. Not just the people, the choices and the goods, but the openness of the landscape and the orderliness.

None of us are happy with the present state of affairs, but this is God’s Country. You only know what you have when it’s gone.

Homeland Security. NSA spying. IRS bullying. Drone attacks. Military detention. Who needs it? It’s hard to imagine that this is really the pinnacle of civilization you love so much.

Most of us have been bred to believe that where we come from, where we were born and raised, is “the best”. Of course, very little objective evidence conclusively supports this assertion.

Perhaps if you gauge a nation’s merit in Starbucks, bombs, or public debt per capita, the Western world might really have something.

Oh yeah, Walmart is reviving America!

And those high paying jobs!

I personally look for products made in Communist Chinese sweat shops, Pakistan and Jackassastan.

And all these businesses owned by foreigners and Muslims are a great thing for America...The devalued dollar is also very attractive as is our lawless violent borders, which bring in lots of desirable low wage labor...Unlike lazy white Americans....Best of all, your corrupt controlling government at every level is most reassuring and key to a wonderful future.

It's like living in fantasyland Mr. reformed liberal!
