You're A Dirty Commie, Too

When I was a lad, there was nothing feared more than a dirty commie. They enslaved their people, they broke treaties, they invaded countries (sound familiar?) and generally wanted to take over the world. Eventually, the Soviet Union went broke because they didn't export a whole lot and they spent most their money on the military as they tried to conquer the world and keep up in the arms race with the US.
China is a communist country too, a dictatorship with a human rights record worse than ours has become since 9/11. They will never go broke because they are being supported by, well, you and me. Most everything we buy is made in China.
It's a strange occurence where two belief systems diametrically opposed to each other (Christian capitalism, Godless communism) can come to a mutual understanding. Maybe it's because they both get to exploit the Chinese laborer as well as the American consumer. The American consumer doesn't care if what they'll die with out is made in China, commies aren't a threat any more. They're more preoccupied with the "war on terror" to think about how their cash is being used to support a brutal dictatorship. As long as it's inexpensive.
And they certainly can't read the writing on the wall. The US doesn't export a whole lot. Our government is spending most of our money fighting a war to conquer the world. Eventually, we'll go broke.
Then the Godless Chinese communists will be sitting over there in Beijing with wads of American dollars in their hands. And all we'll have to sell them is our people, most our property will be owned by Europe. Then the whole world will fall under the way of communism, just like Marx predicted. All because you had to have some useless trinket that was made in China.

You Dirty Commie supporter.

Sounds pretty tempting, but I don't think my ex would let me bring the kids up there. But you see, if your country was as bad as ours, you would be pissed off like I am. But, yes, you are right on the money.
