oldroy Loc: Western Kansas (No longer in hiding)

I was looking around on my inbox and found this video just laying there where it had been since September 30. Let me apologize for not offering it to you sooner, but it got buried.

Now if you don't agree with what is said here please tell me why it just won't work. We may have some words about it.

This subtle libtard attack on Romney post e******n may fool some people, but it is plain that Alinskites are behind it, making the right of our elite capitalists to make a profit at any cost, which is perfectly legal btw, look like what they are: vultures. Outsourcing, though not exactly invented by Romney, was made into an art form as well as a highly efficient mechanism of global economics by him. Several companies his corporation had acquired were being closed here in the states and being outsourced as he ran for president: where was the media on that point? He was also in negotiations to invest in a Chinese "work camp," where barbed wire and high fences are not constructed primarily to keep people out but in, working ten hour days, six days a week, at what would make our minimum wage look like a king's ransom. Just smart business: what's the problem?

It is, I feel, just American to want this flow reversed, neither Left nor Right but simple loyalty to this country's best interest. Call it bi-partisan, if you want, but I see it more as non-partisan: just what is truly right and fair.

His advice is good yet I feel it does not go far enough. This practice is utterly abhorrent. Ugly to the bone for so many reasons. All countries become captives in the hands of a few. This a*********n should be shouted from the rooftops and protests marches mounted. Congress should be convinced to shut this vulture capitalism down. But who could we count on in Congress to pursue such a path? Think about that.

Yet such a strategy as I suggested above would lead, I feel, to a monster loggerhead of side-taking and political gamesmanship...while the country continued down the path to financial ruin.

Let's keep it as clean as the video suggested: buy American. And his caution about what is American made is vital. A certain very influential lobbyist, with support from a certain very influential Christian Foundation, managed to get "Made in America" tags on garments from companies in the Marianas, where some highly disturbing facts about conditions there later surfaced.

Just be an informed consumer and we can turn this tide of recession.

American consumers should simply quit shopping at discount stores and searching out cheap foriegn made junk products. Another thing to think about-- we have China by the short hairs. Their economy would collapse in a few months if they piss us off enough to cut off their exports. They are'nt doing any thing but whineing about violations of their airspace and then not to loud. If we want to play hardball we can do it and win.

How in the hell are you going to reverse the flow? The cost of labor, thanks to the unions, is too high to produce a lot of products in this country. Look at the textile industry, do you think the consumer is more apt to buy a shirt made in USA for $50-$75, when they can get a comparable shirt at WalMart or Kohls for $25?

We have become a service and technological oriented country. The cost of labor has destroyed the manufacturing in the country. To survive, we need to adapt, and invent new technologies, instead of crying and whining about vulture capitalism. We either adapt and change, or die.
