I'll bet you've heard about the poor economy, let me ask you a question, do you want to be part of the solution, or part of the problem, I hear people whining about the economy every single day of my life now, and these same people refuse to buy American.
I still keep hearing how much better the importers are at everything, I think it's about time for people to start giving the USA a chance again, how does it help our country for people to continue to buy imported products, and sending the profits out of our country.
Maybe if people had half of an idea how ridiculous it sounds they'd give the USA a chance again, most of the things that the importers build, they have stolen from this country, and yes in some cases improved it, but in most cases it's a myth.
I'd like you to think back in history, what country has always been the industrial giant, the answer is the United States, until the past a few years, how do you think that this affects the economy, if you don't know I can answer it for you, it hurts our economy badly.
Most of the countries in the world used to come to us for things like grain, plastic, and a lot of other things, until someone had the bright idea to create the free trade agreement, it needs to be revised, and be made a fair trade agreement.
We need to start buying American again, we need to think American again, and we need to love our country again, it's time to think about it people, if you do nothing to help our country, then who is going to do it, it won't be our government, so don't go there.
It's up to you, and I to help fix the poor economic situation that our country is in, you can blame some of this on the politicians, but you can't pass the buck, it's your fault also, so people let's let's help our country pull out of the funk that it's in.
Remember earlier when I said that our government isn't going to help, I have an example for you, we have a new president, I won't mention names, but he has just initiated a stimulus plan, and it's a horrible idea, our country has no money to create stimulus with.
I'm not going to go in to the specifics of this stimulus plan, but I am going to talk some common sense here for a minute, if you were bankrupt, would you go buy a new house, fully knowing that there is no way that you can afford to pay for it, probably not.
But our president will pay out a stimulus to millions of people, some of who are not even American citizens, and how does he get the money to do it when the country is bankrupt, he just prints more money, and every dollar he prints gets a little more worthless, sounds great huh.
As far as the economy our country is going down in flames, and nobody wants to help stop it, don't be surprised when it crashes because it will, so keep not buying American, and keep blaming other people for it, but you know the truth, you are part of the cause, not the part of the solution.

A Battle Over Quality – People Who Refuse To Learn
I had a battle with a guy the other day who refuses to even try to buy American, saying things like I will buy an American car when you pay my repair bills, this is a good example of the idiocy that has befallen American when it comes to cars, yet the same people are the ones who whine abut the economy.
If you would just give America a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised, I'll tell you up front I have studied the issue of the imports building quality in their cars, and I have not been able to find any proof of this, if you look in to recalls for problems, Toyota has just as many as Ford or GM.
If you look at the products that the cars are made out of, you'll find that the imports don't use better quality products to build their cars, by products I mean sheet metal, plastic, leather, electronics, or any product that you could care to mention.
When I was working the repair shops I repaired just as many imports as I did American cars, I had to do about the same amount of maintenance on the imports, so again I ask you, where is this huge difference in quality, and I better have proof if you try to answer this question.
If you research it, you'll find that I don't just run at the mouth, all of the things that I say can be proven if you do the research, I will not do it for you though, if you want to learn the truth, it's all up to you, the next thing that I will here on this is that their machining processes are better then our are.
Wrong again, the importers are using CNC machines the same as we do, and they buy them from the same manufactures that we do, not the one area where I will agree is that their employees have a better work ethic then a lot of ours do, and I will agree there.
Their paint process is the same as ours is, their cars are built the exact same way as ours are, well except of course the hand built cars, like Ferrari, and a few others, but you must compare apples to apples to get real answers, to get true answers.
Where you'll find differences is when you start comparing a high priced German import to a Chevrolet that's not even in the same class, remember apples to apples, if you compare a $30,000 Mercedes to a $30,000 Chevrolet they will be about the same quality.
I get truly sick of hearing the crap that they are better then we are, don't just say it, prove it or don't waste my time with the import propaganda because I don't care, I have owned them, and I have driven them, and to this point in my life, have never figured out why people insist on spouting this crap.

The Big Three – And The Government
With the big three in trouble financially the way that they are, and the government doesn't want to help, I've been trying to imagine a USA without the big three, and I can't, every one of these car companies have had a long rich history of building great cars, and trucks, and now they need help.
If I had billions of dollars, they'd already be getting helped with their problem, I realize that they had some problems back in the 1980's with the way that they built quality in their cars, but that has all been taken care of now, but this financial problem of theirs is a lot more complicated then that.
First and foremost I'm going to blame the unions for the financial problems that the automakers are having right now, with their bloated health plans, retirement plans, and severance plans, and next in line has to come the American people, for even entertaining the idea of buying an import car.
First it's just ridiculous to sell out your countries automakers, and buy imports, when the US builds a better car then any of them, I have owned VW's, Toyota's, Mitsubishi's, and Diahatsu's, and I promise you that none of them are better then the Dodge that I have now, or even as good.
The big three are on their way out if the government doesn't help, and there shouldn't even be an if there, they just bailed out wall street, why not help the big three stay in business, they can give AIG billions of dollars to go to the spa, and to go hunting, and have big parties, but not help the big three stay in business, it all sounds stupid to me.
It's time for our government to be American, and make sure that an American institution that has been around for over 100 years doesn't just fade away, I can't even imagine the affect that it would have on our country, and their worried about the economy, what would this do to the economy.
It's time to pull your head out of the sand guys, and quit worrying about your buddies on wall street, be of the people, by the people, and for the people, and save the big three for the people of or country, be American for once, and show that you care.
Help them out, with no stipulations, except that they have to pay it back, it's a loan, and like any other loan it needs to be returned, don't charge them a huge interest rate, and don't look for them to pad your pockets, they have had to do that for years with the unions already, just be American and help them out.

Thanksgiving - I Give Thanks To The Bog Three
It's Thanksgiving and I give thanks to the big three, for everything they've done for me, they built the muscle car, gave it style, gave it power, I love the big three, it used to be only GM for me, but with current events I can't deny the things they've all done for me.
Chevrolet gave me the camaro, the Z/28 with it's 302 and available cross-ram with two four barrels, they gave me the Yenko camaro with it's brutal fire breathing 427 cubic inch big block, it's thanksgiving and I give thanks to the big three, nobody does more for me.
Dodge gave me the hemi charger, there's nothing quite like a hemi, it's brutal horsepower and torque could make a grown man cry, the 426 cubic inch beast, that was modestly rated at 430 horsepower, could easily prove that number wrong, and would make your competitor's faces very long.
Buick gave me the GSX, in 1970 Buick decided that they needed to compete in the muscle car wars that the big three were having, enter the GSX, with an 11 second factory ¼ mile, the GSX could impress the most staunch Buick disbeliever, and usually did, it was a true gift.
I give thanks to the big three, for everything they've done for me, they built the muscle car, gave it style, gave it power, I love the big three, it used to be just GM for me, but with current events I can't deny the things they've all done for me.
Ford gave me the mustang, with all of it's accolades, I can't deny it's street prowess, and it's awesome drag race presence, I can't deny the sales numbers, the most sold American muscle car of all times, the power, and the dignity, add Carol Shelby, and look what Ford did for me.
On this day of giving thanks maybe you should look inside, and possibly you could really see the big three for everything that they do for you, you say that they have made mistakes, you say their quality suffers, and you buy in to the hype of the imports, take another look at the big three.
Buy American and save our country, they have had one hundred years to build in our country, and they provide you with the things that you need, take another look at the big three, I have seen everything that they've done for me, and I love the big three.
I grew up with the big three, and my family drove nothing but GM and Ford, I love the big three, and I know what they did for me, I could never stand on the import soap box with dignity, I love the big three, for all they do for our country.

The Big Three - Put The Past Aside
Our government has come to a screeching halt on the big three bailout, it's disgusting that our government can't agree on something this important, it could literally mean the survival of our country, I used to trust out government, but not any more.
They can't seem to put all of the party bickering and slide of hand politics aside long enough to save one of the most industries in our country, and it's just horrible the government is just taking it's time to put more strain on the industry and cause a collapse of our economy.
The big three have been helping our country for over a hundred years, and now they need help, can't we just forget the past, and remember our future, the automotive industry in our country supports more then just themselves, they use more plastic, rubber, and computer chips then any other industry.
We have a democrats locked in a battle with the republicans, and then the environmentalists, who really do nothing but whine about everything American in the first place, and enter the UAW, a group of thieves who the government needs to shut down in the first place, can't we just all get along, and come to a reasonable conclusion here.
The big three aren't asking for anywhere near what the banking industry is about to get, and all I hear is petty bickering, and political slide of hand, it's as if we have a bunch of illusionists in charge of our country, who can't agree on their next trick, are we Americans any more for gods sake.
The government keeps expecting the auto industry to do more and more to help the environment, and don't think about the cost of these things that they are asking, even little changes can cost millions, re-tooling can cost billions, like a small kid the government wants it all, and to do nothing in return.
It's about time to end all of the bickering, and slide of hand, and just help the big three so they can continue to help America, that is if anybody cares about America any more, the America I know is on it's way out, and nobody even cares about it.

Buy American - The Big Three
I just got through battling with a guy over the quality of American built cars, and guess who won Americans have listened to the rhetoric about the imports being better for long enough, it's about time for true Americans to give the big three a chance again.
We seem to keep dwelling on things that are twenty or more years old, what made you buy an import in the first place? did you hear that they were a built a better car; did you hear that their quality was better, when you heard that you gave them a chance, you bought in to the hype surrounding the imports.
If their cars are so much better, why do most of them prefer to drive American cars, if you think I'm lying this can be proven with a simple Google search on the subject, the only reason the Japanese don't buy more of our cars is because of the price, who do you think is buying all the old American cars.
I was at the Ford dealership, when a guy from Russia came in to purchase a car, he did just that, he bought a Mustang, and then promptly shipped it back to Russia, when asked why he flew all the way across the sea just to buy an American car, he said they are the best cars you can buy.
This guy would apparently be more American then most American's are, he flew all of those miles to buy an American car, because he researched the quality, he compared, and he learned the real truth about the quality of cars, he could have bought a German car, or a Japanese car, and spent less money.
So why don't more American's do the same thing, do some research on the subject before you just go out and buy an import, by research I mean more then just one web site, and more then one dealership, however you do your research, be sure to spend some time, don't be in a hurry, and you may be pleasantly surprised.
It's time to give them another chance, yes in the past they have made a few mistakes, but they are American car companies, they deserve another chance, if you made a mistake you'd want another chance, why don't they deserve the same thing as you'd expect for yourself.
Buy American, be American, and help the America survive.
Buy American, be American, and help the big three survive.
