Want to consider something for a change, rather than simply accept mass advertized "free trade" propaganda from Walmart during this season, to be buying crap made in China?
Watch it. And think about how it is America has come to have sent our manufacturing abilities, to Communists.
Don't think about watching it. Watch it.
And think how far we have fallen.
Wake up America. We are wildly, off course.
I see a definite silver lining in our crappy economy. Its forcing a lot of us to return to the true meaning of Christmas and take stock.
If only the world would listen to and obey you, all our problems would be solved and we could live in a Walden paradise in peace and prosperity forever.
And don't let anybody tell you anything different.
Every year I wish people I meet a merry Christ mass.
Get out there and buy something imported, citizen.
Don’t think. Just go.
Put a 100 percent tariff on Chinese slave-labor trash.
Are you suggesting that buying things from China has something to do with fealty to Christ?
Do you have something against pre-teen slave girls having jobs? lol... try to be humane and have a heart... lol
We’ve fallen even further than you know.Fighting over a two dollar POS waffle iron?
Went to local pharmacy to buy my greeting cards for Xmas and Hannukah.
Looking through the Hallmark brand of Xmas cards, not a single one had a true “religious” message on the front cover. Not a single one.
Minor point.
It’s not Xmas.
Uh, is this satire?
Of course it’s about buying Chinese crap...duh....
That's your department, Skippy.
Did you look under “X”?
That then would make your department “knee jerk”.
Suit yourself.
Just go buy something Chinese. It’s almost Christmas after all.
And we all know China is all about Christ, and religious freedom.
Get out there and buy something imported, citizen.
Don’t think. Just go.
I’m old enough to remember when American husbands could support a family with a good paying factory job and have stay at home wife and mother who raised responsible children. We had a secure and strong and self sufficient USA. It was run by industry, not financiers.
That was before Hollywood libs and their commie peers in the media colluded on the destruction of the USA with the help of globalists and world immigration, all to the benefit of the commies in China.
You know China is really not communist anymore - not in the classic sense anyway. They allow private property, encourage capitalism, mostly allow their people to travel if they can afford it, etc, etc.
If anything, China is more a fascist state. They are totalitarian politically, but not a true repressive marxist/leninist regime in that there is growing economic and even personal freedom as long as you don’t challenge the state in any way.
You post about China and manufacturing a lot. Ever been there? It may not be what you think it is. It’s also a giant house of cards that is nowhere near as strong as you might think. Remember in the late 80’s when we were all supposedly turning Japanese and the rising sun was going to take over all manufacturing - how’d that turn out? A lost decade or two later and we’ve moved on to the next economic boogeyman. China is nowhere near as strong as you imagine it is.
Our manufacturing problems are largely of our own making. Too much government interference and unions that became too strong and destroyed or made uncompetitive everything they touched. If it weren’t China, manufacturing would have just moved more heavily to India, Indonesia or somewhere else. The problem is mostly one of failed American policy. You’d be better off advocating less regulation, lower corporate taxes and less unionization. Those are things we can actually do to become competitive instead of knee jerk tariffs and starting idiotic trade wars.
Baloney.
That's what you're good at.
Whatever.
America first.
I would get the name of a family and the age and sex of the children and each one of my adult kids and their family were responsible for getting presents for the child who's name they picked...We did that until I sold the farm and moved away....
So you can have Christ and presents at the same time...
