Maybe the stuff they're selling in China was made in Africa.

I almost feel sorry for those guys. Very liberal in their behavior.

Very true. I keep hoping they'll see the error of their ways. Always the optimist.
As much as I hate to admit it, having them around sure makes FR more entertaining.

You're right. Everybody agreeing that I was 100% correct 100% of the time would get old fast!

well....I suspect China will soon become the new Super Power since all of our outsourcing in manufacturing and electronics is being shipped over there....

Really? How much of our manufacturing did we ship over? Do we have none left here?

This is one thing that really surprises me. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary they will stick with their tired old arguments. Just like debating my father!

I heard you thought you were wrong once but you were mistaken. LOL!

"I can't find anything in WalMart that's made in America". "We don't make anything in America anymore" That's not even an argument. More like a rant or whine.

The first is a classic. The "we don't make anything in America anymore" is the kind of whining I expect from liberals who are totally ignorant of anything to do with the private sector, not conservatives. I laugh at their feeble attempts to explain away your Dept. of Commerce graph indicating robust manufacturing growth since the 60's.
My favorite argument is that "more than 70% of Wal Mart's sku's are made in China" and all those items generate less than 8% of their gross revenue. The lack of math skills can leave one weak.

The lack of math skills can leave one weak.That seems to be their common denominator, hehe. Even among those who claim to be math majors.
