See, to me, comments like this are very ironic and laughable at best. Getting our ass kicked in Iraq? I suppose that’s why we’ve setup shop as we please there, they have a government, and the terrorists remain in hiding.

It’s kinda like … well, I actually don’t know what nationality you are, because much like those “ragheads” that you were talking about, you choose to stay in hiding as well by falsifying your name.

That’s okay, though, because if you’re English, then at least I know we drove your people off our land with … pitchforks of all things …

If you’re Spanish, well, we took half of your territory in the New World away from you …

If you’re French … hell, I don’t think I need to explain that one. They’ve made the word “surrender” internationally renowned …

If you’re German, then you should be happy to know that it was us that put an end to your European domination and have since relegated you to a mere speck on the map …

If you’re Russian, then it must suck to know that after all those years, we still outlasted you in the Cold War and now people hardly remember that you’re still a country …

If you’re Japanese, you’re probably still fuming over the bombs we dropped … not to mention the fact that we are your army now …

If you’re Korean or Vietnamese, I’ll say that you put up a helluva fight, but in the end, you’re efforts were for naught as you now stand divided …

If you’re from the Middle East, you can either thank us for your independence, or hate us for putting a damper on your plans for tyranny …

Ya know, now that I think of it, I think your comments are merely those of spite and envy. That’s okay, it’s kinda understandable. Thank you, and good day.

The fact is that America’s unemployment rate added another 1.6 million casualties to its list between May ‘07 and May ‘08 – a rise from 4.5% to 5.5%. While a lot of that’s been caused by poor lending decisions in the mortgage industry, but it doesn’t end with them.

The sale of Chrysler to the Germans has resulted in many, many Americans losing their jobs. The recent surge that foreign car models in America have made over the last couple of years contributed to Ford reporting some of the largest losses in their history last year – again resulting in more layoffs. We’re allowing foreign entities to control the oil market when we could drive down prices worldwide if we distributed some of the oil right here in the US, but instead, people are paying for gas that they can’t afford.

Let me ask you two questions:
1) Would the sale of Anheuser Busch to InBev most likely result in more Americans losing their jobs?

2) Would the sale result in a cheaper consumer product for Americans?

After you answer those questions, I’d like to know how such a sale could possibly result in anything good for us?

To me, that means nothing. The sky-is-falling types all had the U.S. dead and buried when the Japanese bought so much real estate and banking concerns a couple decades back… the end result….

A big HO-Hum!

On another note… “incorporated road races” into the schedule?

Ahem… yeah, in 1950.
