These are the same kids that buy gangsta rap records at 10 million copies
a clip. Made folks like '50 Cent' worth a little more than that.

Except that they require a wavier every single year, which we grant
despite claims of human rights violations and the fact that they are still
communist.

When they start making US service medals in China, then that is the last

First it was Happy Meal toys from McDonalds and then slowly everything
else.

Please don't mess with my traditions. I still have mine (several, in
fact) from my Air Force days.

Worse yet is the move to replace the Dixie Cup (AKA crackerjack AKA
sailors hat) with the dammed beret.

Thanks. I believe the point is that despite China's human rights
violations, as we see it, we grant a wavier every single year to allow
them normal trade relations, formerly nation most favored WRT trade. Huh,
I guess THAT really sends the message about our commitment to ending their
communist ways and their human rights violations.



If they were ever to stop imports to the United States, our economy
would collapse overnight; they have driven so many of our domestic
manufactures out of business that we rely on them completely for all
sorts of goods that we simply don't manufacture in the U.S. anymore, nor
have the ability to quickly restart the manufacture of.
They've got us by the balls, and our hearts and minds will follow.
Or as Lenin put it; "You may count upon the capitalist to sell you the
rope you're going to hang him with."
The Russians are probably still banging their heads on the wall for not
having figured this out; they opposed us ideologically, and
militarily... when all they had to do to beat us was to buy us.

Which otherwise would have fallen in the food.

On the other hand, you don't need a hatrack when you go indoors.
