I live in a very conservative active Retirement Community. The whole place is lined with U.S. Flags. I looked and each one has a "Made in China" tag. My neighbors took photos with their cell phones made in China and posted pictures on "Facebook". They bought the flags on "Amazon". Some of the older residents had landscapers (from across the Rio Grande lets say) put them in the ground for them.

And people wonder why Conservatives "lost" the battle for the soul of the Country. This is how we Celebrate Memorial Day. Our Greatest Generation are rolling over in their graves.

Flags at Harbor Freight are made in China also. I picked up a great flag at Costco that was made in the USA. Of course it was more expensive, but it puts money in American pockets.

I strongly support "Made in the USA"

But with that said. We live in a time where we as a country have No internal manufactoring. None, Nada zilch.

No matter what store that I walk into 99.9% of every item on the shelf is from China. Forced upon us by those politicians living in closed fences.

The last President who put America first is gone. And major celebrities from the NFL, NBA, music and Hollywood jumped on the bandwagon of: We have to defeat Trump, this is the most important election ever."

I can't even get a simple part for my Ford truck because of no micro chip from Taiwan.

Yes.. Those boys that died are rolling in their graves, but for a lot of reasons.

We should all endeavor to support products made in America but don’t act like things sourced from abroad don’t also put money in the pockets of Americans.

If you like free market capitalism, you have to accept that things like little plastic flags or rubber dog shite ought best to be made in a dump with low wages.

I know that will make me as popular as Cholera on this board, but it's not a huge loss here. There are American made flags you can buy. That community decided to save money and get the cheap stuff.

Our Greatest Generation birthed and raised the Boomers. They failed their children. And their children are failing us.

I bought several flags for my boat from Gettysburg flags just because they are made 100% in America. Don’t buy the cheap plastic shite from Wuhanmart

It is not just the flags (which is the ultimate in irony here, I mean it is Memorial Day we are talking about) But that they have IPhones from China used to post their pictures on FACEBOOK (who represses free speech, canceled Trump and helps China control their population. Then the flags were bought from Amazon, the owner owns Lying Media.

Labor to install the flags were non-english speaking people. I thought Memorial Day honored the lost AMERICAN lives fighting for freedom. AMERICAN LIVES being honored by actually supporting everything non American. We are idiots and deserve what we are getting and going to get.
