According to whom? The Teamsters? Ralph Nader's group? That case was dismissed.

Yet the same yoinks drive Japanese and Korean cars and often have a full house of Chinese and Taiwanese made electronics, toys, appliances, clothing, etc.And then they complain about "globalism".

Funny, ain't it?

You're wrong - their trucks will only have to meet the standards that were in place the year their vehicle was made . . . .

Like trucks in the U.S.? What was this about different standards, again?

Amen brother!

He's probably off somewhere laughing at someone who's claiming NAFTA or CAFTA banned vitamin supplements.

Memo to the elites: after 9/11, a little xenophobia and nativism in America is a GOOD thing.

And as far as being accused of racism, most Americans are not, but we ignore the fact that ALL of the 19 9/11 hijackers were ARAB MUSLIMS to our own peril. As Ronald Reagan once said, "trust but verify": it's dereliction of duty for our government to NOT profile ARAB MUSLIMS in America, and at least develop contingency plans for their internment and/or deportation.

I’m sensing that the Beltway Boys and the Wall Street Wonks have been entertaining some animosity against Main Street and the Heartland for some time.

LOL, they post here every day.

you tell them it’s time to go home and they explode into tears and theatrics while flopping about on the floor

But what about the shareholders? Waaaahhh!

What do I need to educate mr_hammer about now?

Touche!

Great article, thanks for posting it.

Just like "racism", "xenophobia" is so ocerused that it's meaningless.

Xenonausea... I like it!

[1rudeboy]

Not him. We've got some folks who've re-discovered the Mexican truck issue. I suppose it's ripe for another go-around. You know the routine. NAFTA is raising my ATM fees, NAFTA ate the sandwich I brought to work, NAFTA caused the cancellation of Friends, etc.

Yeah. Can you believe how stupid, bigoted, lazy and worthless Americans are? Just a bunch of no-nothing rednecks who can't build a thing, can't run a business, constantly complain about losing jobs to Bangalore and Calcutta, and are just too darn ignorant to appreciate the wondrous benefits of outsourcing, globalism, and turning over the front-door keys to benevolent, Muslim dictatorships dressed up as capitalists.

Its really a shame they have the power to vote the "elites-who-know-what's-good-for-the-little-people" out of office.

Then again, maybe its not.

You can't reach these globalist kooks because they live in their own little world disconnected from the rest of America, and they would rather play house with the Clintons in their fantasy world than act like Americans who love their country not their ideology.

There are social liberals, fiscal liberals, and economic liberals (that would be your free-trade "gobalist kooks"). The one thing they all have in common is that they live in a fantasy world and it is a mental illness. It is like the old saying, "Neurotics build castles in the sky, psychotics live in them."

They are pretty stupid, and largely hypocritical.

But, that's a condition of humanity, to say one thing and do another.

I was going to just open this thread to make a joke about it being wise to be afraid of Lord Xenu, but that was a very good analysis.

He left off Europe from his list of backlashed countries. The failure of the EU constitution was a fairly significant message to send to the elites in Brussels.

I think elites should go to the bottom of the sea whether rat or pub. None of 'em are worth a hoot in hell.

This mornign driving in to work in Downtown Houston. I was behind a compact car from Mexico, it was a modle not available in the US and it had Mexican plates. It was smoking like my BBQ cooker doing ribs. It is nto the first Mexican plated vehicle I have seen this way and it will not be the last.

That discovered older trucks are "dirtier." Why don't the citizens of California get together and ban old trucks, if that's the problem? Oh, wait . . . that's not the true purpose.

Probably not, if the Houston cops look the other way.
