Too true; in twenty years Obama will be remembered as the president who saved the economy, the planet, blah blah blah (all things with no clear performance metrics). Only those who lived through this will know the truth: He is a miserable failure completely unqualified for the job. Just as I always connect BJ Clinton to Monica Lewinsky and the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit; I’ll always connect Obama to Ferguson/Baltimore, a horrible economy, and the surrender of the Middle East to radical Islam.

“Name one.”

I have investigated this to the satisfaction of myself and my family.

I’ve also learned that where someone chooses depends on how they prioritize things. No place is perfect, including the US.

Here’s what I’m willing to do. If you actually want to know of some options, PM me and tell me what factors are the most important to you. I’ll tell you what I know.

Free trade for FREE countries only, and of course, that too, should be FAIR trade.

A Willie Greenism!

Expensive steel is bad for America.

Cheap foreign steel will drive American steel makers out of business. Then they'll make steel expensive.

We must make steel expensive now, to protect us from expensive steel in the future.

Don’t forget . . . we must protect American steel-making industries. American steel-consuming industries, not at all. Because unemployment.

How have you guys been, by the way? Yesterday I bought a shoulder holster for my CZ-82 (made in the former Czechoslovakia) on Ebay. One click, and PayPal handled it through my checking account at TCF Bank in the United States. The holster is being shipped from Lithuania via the United States Postal Service, according to the tracking (!) number . . . although there's probably a third party involved, there.

I fire 9x18 FMJ made by Prvi Partizan of Serbia that I purchase online from AIM Surplus of Texas (where I also got the CZ-82). All shipped to my front door in Michigan.

Ain't globalization grand?

Globalist!

My sister was talking about Detroit, I told her she could open carry.

Was I correct?

My understanding is that you can open carry in Michigan, but for concealed, you need the license. I’m not doing either, yet.

Yeah. Concealed with permit, open carry without.

You can carry in a school but only with a concealed carry permit and you must carry openly.

This trade bill will give Obama enough power to comopletely destroy the U.S..proof in links below;
This Obama fast track “trade” bill is the worst bill EVER. The links below prove that:

This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty for the entire 3rd world.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/dick_morris_fast_track_could_lead_to_unlimited_immigration.html

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these “conservative” Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

http://wakeupfromyourslumber.com/the-trans-pacific-partnership-and-the-death-of-the-republic/

I will tweet or call congress and tell them to vote no to give Obama fast track power to make treaties

Firearms are important but I'm partial to coffee, bananas, chocolate.  Not sure what the fuss is tho, this trans Pacific trade deal w/ China & Russia dates back to G. Washington.

Good post Mariner.
Only a traitor against America will seek to give more power to Obama the communist monster who is destroying the USA.

The Perotistas had to wait until the next recession after NAFTA was passed so they could start whining that they were “right.” What did it take, ten years?

True. lol

The next time you step up to spew your CoC BS, you ought to have your facts straight: The balance of trade with Mexico went from a $1.6bil surplus for the US in 1993, to a $60+bil deficit for the US in 2014. In 2007 it was $74bil. Over the 20 years of NAFTA over $1trillion dollars have been transferred to Mexico...and now they are suing the USA at the WTO to force us to stop labeling our fresh meat with country of origin. They say it's unfair. Please explain to all of us has this has benefitted the US, it's workers and the preservation of our Capital Stock. You know what Capital Stock is, right?

Perotistas said the sucking sound would be jobs going to Mexico. That did not happen. The Democrats war on business that has been going on for a hundred years is the root of our problems here, not free trade. Scale back government and regulations and we can compete with anyone. While it's true that China may be able to produce a toaster cheaper than we can, we'll make it up in high-end products and services, IF our government gets out of the way, as Reagan said.

Perotistas also like to quote trade in material goods as evidence against free trade, but actually balance of payments is more accurate. In any case, my trade balance with the manufacturing facility where I work runs 100% in my favor in terms of cash exchange. Does that mean they should fire me?
