A brief essay and heartfelt appeal to fellow patriots.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a "nation of origin" database for products.

"I hope we can discuss here ways to search out and buy only American and America-friendly goods."
We need to start manufacturing more American-made goods first. Ignore the fix polls sponsored by corrupt importers. Elect Duncan Hunter.

...fixed polls, even. There’s one running right now that won’t show votes for a Hunter/Gingrich pair, although the choice is presented.

Good thoughts ... but I have to take exception to your characterization of Mexico as a ‘less-hostile’ nation. They are one of the most hostile to our way of life and are doing everything they can to destroy what we have built, IMHO.

My joy of giving does not extend to Red China, so I will be giving my grandchildren money for Christmas this year, in addition to Bill Bennett’s “America, the Last Best Hope” - unrevised American History. Their parents pose a slightly more difficult problem. :)

“Lastly, remember to pray for the Chinese people - many of whom are our Christian brothers and sisters - and yes, for their government. The nation is indeed a threat, both economically and militarily, but God is above all and holds the hearts of kings.”
Prayers for all!

Just purchased a big-wheel-type trike for nephew off a USA product website. Cost more, but it was made in the USA for the most part. We’ll see if it’s any better come Christmas.

Bump for reference, thanks, Lex.

A couple hundred dollars of my own hard-earned cash have already been added to our U.S. economy
as a direct result of American merchandise bought from merchants linked from this thread - and Christmas shopping is not over. Unlike dollars spent on Amercan merchants hawking Chinese goods, these dollars will go into the pockets of actual producers.
Three of the things I bought were steel tavern puzzles - the kinds where you have to get the ring or other object off from the rest of the contraption. Fascinating gifts these make, for almost all ages.
Let's see if we can't cumulatively make a tiny blip on the American economy... and enjoy some wonderfully crated products from right here at home! ;-)

For all those that loved Duncan Hunter's comment tonight --
BUY AMERICAN THIS CHRISTMAS!
There are some great suggestions and links on Lexinom's thread.

Buying American is isolationist and counter productive. Placing an inordinate value on islation is detrimental to the country.
Millions of jobs in tens of thousands of different positions that span the spectrum from sales to administration to production to transport and communication aare at stake. America lives and thrives on trade.
To call for buy America is to call for the end of America.

Its very easy NOT to buy Chinese, unless you are buying toys. There are very few things that I buy that are made in China.
One of the good things about Whole Foods is that they label their produce and seafood with country of origin stickers. When I went to the "Super Wal Mart" near my sister's place in Tennessee, all they had was dirty water shrimp from China and Indonesia.

I’m not sure what you mean by “nation of origin” database. But there is a database of american made items at www.madebyyankees.net It shows american made items and where you can buy them. The database is far from complete.

I try not to buy from folks selling Christmas gifts who don’t acknowledge Christmas....and I let them know it.

Buy U.S. goods?
I hope that applies also to energy!
So: When visiting a filling station, please purchase only U.S. petroleum products!
