Not too much. I am a geologist on an oil rig in Montana, drilling a well. How about you?

That's fantastic. Good for you.

I work in the electronics industry. I design components which are sold to Asia and Europe.

You and I create value for the country and build lives for ourselves and our families....and as 'conservatives' (I assume) we do our best to oppose the 'progressive' agenda of utopian anti-freedom politics where we can through the vote, and by trying to spread the word as best we can.

This is what we do to keep America strong.

However, talking about restricting a local landowner from selling his PRIVATE PROPERTY to a bidder who lives in China, has a chinese name, and may even be a member of the corrupt chinese govt cadres tells me more about the rights of the property owner in America than it does about the security status of Sino-US geostrategery.

There's a difference between espionage/selling missile technology, for example, and reducing the value of a free man's property, factory, product because he's not allowed to sell it to certain racial or nationalists. What's the point of being a free man in a 'free country' if I can't sell my beef or my house to a ferner?

Look at Montana. People have owned that ranchland up there for hundred years or more. And now they're selling it to leftist Californians as cut-up little ranchettes. That sucks, imo.

But should you be able to tell those families who've counted on that land value for generations that now they cannot sell? Why would that be acceptable in a free country?
