Why don't you go there? Free Traitors need to live with those that butter their bread. Practice what you preach. I am sure we could have a fund raiser and get you free tickets.

PS: You didn't address your red herring about tariffs in the 1930's only affected 5% of the economy. Why?

Commie lover traitor,scum of the earth- that is what I think of Free Traitors.

Odd....whenever people speak well or things positive of a European or a Western nation, no one ever becomes offended or put off by it. Or told that if the person thought it was so great, they should give up their US citizenship and move to that said country.

HOWEVER..............whenever someone speaks well of a non-Western country, the flags go up, people are insulted and indignant, etc. and ..... the ol "if you think its so great, then why the f%#%k don't you move over there" comments come up.

Your comment proves to me, that many Americans still have this Eurocentric view of the world.

I remember a few years back when Japanese autos were making inroads into the US auto market (back in the 80's). Many Anglo Saxon types spoke often of German engineering. It rolled off their tongues like fish stories. Yet, try being Asian and speak well of Japanese cars and their quality and reliability lest one is considered traitorous. And to some degree, its still politically incorrectly to do so whereas speaking well of German Engineer is almost like discussing mom's apple pie.

And you know what was so ironic about the animosity towards Japanese autos into the US? Most of the Japanese imports came at the expensive of the US auto market already lost to European imports. Ever hear of Fiat? Peugeot? Remember the Volkswagon Bug, etc.? It was these autos that lost their market share to the Japanese.

So, therefore, I fault no American, when they see some positives in China. This does not mean they have to move there if they point out certain strengths in China. Nor should it be an affront to the US to highlight strengths about China. God knows all the negatives are pointed out again and again by neo con pundits and many freepers.

Next time the Queen of England comes to America or her grandson with his new bride, watch all those young Americans wave those British flags.
