This is War !

First we took God out of our schools and now we're taking our own people out of the work force.
"AS GOES THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY,
SO GOES AMERICA."
The proof is in front of us but we're too blind to see it. This makes no sense to me at all. And it's not just cars and trucks; if it isn't made in the U.S.A. folks, simply refuse to buy it. Clothes, electronics, whatever.
What has happened to our Patriotism?
Why not today, Lord? I'm ready.

America's under attack,
Both from outside and from within;
When our own citizens don't care,
This is a battle we can't win.

Take your import and shove it,
To where the rising sun don't shine;
When you're hungry and unemployed,
You'll probably be the first to whine.

Oldsmobile was the first to go,
Then Plymouth too, soon went away;
Mercury now, may bite the dust,
How I hate your treasonous way.

You just don't care for your country,
You've proven that by what you drive;
Simply a home grown terrorist,
You have no American pride.

It was GM, Ford and Chrysler,
That built the wheels that won the wars;
America, now is the time,
Time for us all to join the cause.

I'm so glad I'm not young these days,
I'd hate to see our country's demise;
I warn you, my friends, it's coming,
Unless we decide to get wise.

Refuse to buy ANY import,
Put our people to work again;
Or are you in bed with the enemy,
Selfishly waiting for our own end?

America - is the still greatest nation on earth with some terroist dressed in sheeps clothes. What we have today is some people in the USA who are not real true blue Americans. We should give them a choice - two years of patrotic service the the USA or serve somewhere else - the new country that they choose to live. Amen my friend.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, AS I ALWAYS DO BUT I ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE SAME QUESTION...HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? HOW DID/DOES AMERICA ALLOW THEIR PRODUCTS TO BE UNDERBID, UNDERATED AND FINALLY...PUSHED OUT COMPLETELY???!!! WHAT I AM SAYING IS...THERE WAS A 'BEGINNING'... THERE IS AN OLD CLICHE' THAT SAYS, 'NICK IT IN THE BUD'! DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE HORSE IS OUT OF THE BARN TO CLOSE THE BARN DOOR. THIS IS AMERICA...THE LAND OF THE 'FREE' WHERE 'EVERYONE' CAN REALIZE THEIR DREAMS. BETTER BUSINESS TACTICS SHOULD NOT BE LOOKED UPON AS WRONG, UNFAIR OR AS A CAUSE FOR 'WAR'...THEY SHOULD BE LOOKED UPON...AND COPIED!!! GOOD MESSAGE HERE PAUL...TOO BAD MESSAGES LIKE THIS DIDN'T COME FORTH...YEARS AGO, 'CAUSE NOW, UNFORTUNATELY,...THERE'S A GIANT 'FOOT' IN THE DOOR(THAT WE, BY THE WAY, OPENED)...AND WE CAN'T GET IT OUT! GOD BLESS AND THANKS FOR SHARING...LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATION

Powerful words. I don't understand companies going overseas for cheaper labor especially when most go to places that can nationalize any company they want whenever they want. I don't understand why companies think cutting employees will save them. When the economy is in trouble, more people need to be hired not fired. The economy strives on people spending their money and that cannot happen without money to spend. Just an FYI to all, I worked at shipping, container company back in 95-96 whose largest importer was a certain company with a fairly new marketing campaign of selling things made in america.
I like to buy american, i also support trade between countries as long as it is sanctioned Fairtrade. Fair competition is good, US companies trying to get around regulations and labor costs is immoral. All imports should meet the same standards as we impose on our own companies and US companies should have to follow US laws and regulations no matter what soil they are on.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day and use it to remember why companies are safer on our soil than any other place in the world.

I have been writing about this for almost two years, during the election and after it now I've asked God to intervene if it be His will. Over 40% still think this administration is doing ok. Sad- Keep praying

I agree with you 100% Paul. This retail store Walmart is a great example. They sell mostly products from China. Which is all junk. If you drive by there store there parking lot is filleg to capacity. You did an excellent job with this, Paul.

GOD BLESS YOU
