So, the Chinese just demonstrated a weapon capable of shooting satelites! They shot down one of their just to prove it can work. Now we will hear from the Neo-Cons about China as a threat! to America A Threat ! Well, who made them that powerful? Thank your freindly neighborhod Wal Mat thats who.
Of course its not just Wal Mat but they started this "Mantra" of going for cheap labor and cheaper environmental standards. So every year we send billions of US dollars to China as profits (of course they loan a good part of it back to us but thats another story)
And what do they do with these profits? Make weapons and weapons sytems. Will they sell them to Al Queda? Probaly not but who can be sure?
American Enterprise Institute and The Fund for Growth; what do you have to say?
Karl Marx said it best: "The Capitalists will compete to sell you the rope to hand them with?
I guess he was right.
Think about that the next time you go looking for that cheap lawn mower or patio furnature.
Think real hard!


"a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."
