I have bought, mainly, only Ford cars for so much longer than I can remember. I have done so for over forty years, because I have become familiar with repairing Fords, my grandpa had a two tone, blue/white '56 Ford Fairlane which was a beaut, my Dad owned Fords, and they have been among the dwindling "All American" cars.
At present, Ford cars and parts may be assembled almost anywhere in the world, but I still buy them because of their American name brand. Buy them while you can until we nationalize the car industry and only be able to buy Obamamobiles which will probably be below the par of the fabled Edsel and Trabant.
Ford Motor seems to be more viable than GM and Chrysler which is another reason to buy Ford, but with the government favoring the competitors with Billions of Bailout Bucks, it may be harder for Ford to compete with the government favored car makers. As the Queen's Parfumeur knocked out competition because she chose a particular perfume maker, Uncle Sam is picking and choosing which industries it will bless with billions of printed dollars it does not own, yet, or ever may own. This is among many things which drives the stock market crazy - and downward. However, look for windmill companies and solar panel makers to have a boom. Oh, and Gold, because of the cheapening of the dollar and U.S. securities.
Unions paid big time into the Obamacrats campaigns. They are getting amply rewarded. The Coal Union endorsed Obama, so they will be rewarded with no job - even after Obama threatened to "bankrupt" them!(oh, those Dems, who can figure?).
President George W. Bush saved the U.S. steel industry by imposing tariffs on imported imported steel in 2002, and so the Dem Steel Union, of course, voted Obamacratic. They will be rewarded with a deepened recession.
Government Unions, like AFCSE and every other local, state, and federal government entity which hires, joyfully endorsed Obamacrats and have been amply rewarded with being fired - because the above governments have not been able to afford their way above average-joe-bagodonuts wages and benefits.
Teachers Unions comprise the few jobs which are genuinely fireproof. They are so powerful (accept in teaching skills) that their numbers increase, even as student enrollments and proficiency decline. They vote Obamacratic and have billions of taxpayer money to support the Obamacracy. California owes much of its debt to over funding education and less than nothing to show for it. I believe Governor Arnold is fighting teachers inc. in California, trying to persuade them to allow over 20 students in a classroom. No way, they say.
I don't have to explain why Lawyer's Associations have been paid off. Lilly Ledbetter Act is just one.
Although the vast majority of African Americans voted Democrat, only a small percentage of them will go to college and/or be granted government mandated employment opportunities. Sadly, most blacks will continue to suffer government mandated poverty, unwed motherhood, and a life of crime in the big Democrat cities in which they reside.
Back to cars. Although I have been a humble and proud American - until Obama - buying only American cars, I cannot justify buying anything from, especially , auto unionized companies when it is a matter of me paying these gluttons for my money, after they so enthusiastically support Obamacrats and the ruination of America.
We should not buy any union made products or support any business that supports the socialist agenda.
Buying union is unpatriotic.
Well at least Ford didn’t take any bailout money........yet.
BTW, I quit buying Fords when they raised the Vietnamese Communist flag at corporate headquarters.

The govt can help the automakers - but the clowns still have to make cars that we’re willing to buy.
Since that won’t happen, I await the “state car” mandate from the dim-bulb-rats.
Diligently research and then buy the best vehicle to suit your needs at the best cost to suit your budget.
Unless it becomes law...
There are a lot of purchases that we should all examine to see who it benefits, and whether that beneficiary supports our demise, ie, supports democRats.
To paraphrase,
As for me and my house, we will “look for... the union lay-bull...” and buy something else.
Virtually every car or other large ticket item is either made by a company that has unions or a communist country. Take yer pick...
Do some research on the Blue Eagle and the Wilson administration.
It wasn’t “law” per se, but the union thuggery was even greater then than now, and you would probably get beat up, your property destroyed, and your business burned down if you weren’t patronizing Blue Eagle members.
the exception is automobiles....I buy American in that case. I like the big fat excessiveness of American cars, especially 4X4’s. My dream is to get a 67 Belvedere/satellite/GTX. I had one new as a kid and selling it was a big mistake.
I think I will go to Walmart in a while just to p!$$ off the union thugs.

No,no,no

We have Toyotas and Nissans in our driveway. I don’t want a Monday or Friday car made in a union shop.......
Yeah, if you buy Fords you need to become familiar with repairing Fords. LOL.
Yeah. okay. whatever you say.
The quality goes in before the name falls off.
I bought my last Big 3 UAW vehicle last year. More likely than not, I’ll be getting rid of it sooner than later because it’s a POS. It has 16,000 miles on it, I have replaced the rotors twice (going on the 3rd) and have put new brakes on it 3 times. In one year. Most of it within a 4 months period. But the service manager tells me everytime that’s normal and they have a lot of problems with the vehicle. LOL Very comforting...
I’ll be happier than a pig in you know what when I trade that sorry excuse for a vehicle in.
As for everything else, we get everything we need at Cabelas, Wal-Mart and our local gun shop. F the union.
Gonna be kinda funny watching your house burn down as you fight off the union firefighters. I’m sure the union cop will enjoy your excuse that you weren’t dealing with the union thugs at the DMV so you didn’t get your license renewed. Those are just flat out taxpayer supported services.
As far as goods are concerned, go ahead and bypass unions to buy directly from commuinist China but you’ll have to go shopping in china to bypass the unions at the ports.
