I had my eye on a sweet little bolt action. They changed my mind for me and made me realize that they were after me and my guns and that they would never go away. I resolved that day my final thoughts and decisions on the matter.<br /><br />They are traitors, I am not, and that really is the only issue. <br /><br />A flag is only the representation of a people and their ideals and ours has special meaning not only to us but throughout the world. The reason we buy a Chinese representation of our ideals is that our public servants have spent all the money, and forced American businesses to close, among other things. That and causing prices to skyrocket, and we haven't seen the end of that yet. <br /><br />In fact it may come to a point where we're making flags with bedsheets and crayons. But even if we don't have one to fly at all, I will forever have her in my heart because I know what she cost and how much I owe and will never be able to repay those who bought her for me and mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-20510438097569208712009-10-24T17:43:11.860-05:002009-10-24T17:43:11.860-05:00It's not like CabinBoy didn't take a stab ...It's not like CabinBoy didn't take a stab at getting a US mfg to do it and since they couldn't get the job done, on to another supplier.

However, besides the tactical view you also have to consider just what the devil your overall strategy is all about. So, while it may be temporarily expedient to use Chinese made flags for patriotic US of A activities, in the long run it is of course best not to do that.<br /><br />Betsy Ross supposedly made the first flag sewing it by hand, my grandmother and great grandmother spent considerable time sewing quilts, knitting sweaters, etc. In the long run it might be nice to see like minded folk getting together for instead of quilting bees, for making flags and what ever else would be bought and shared among the III-per community. You have to look at banding together and supporting each other as best you can so investigate such opportunities and see what you can do as a band of brothers and as a community of patriots dedicated to preserving and strengthening their country and way of life.<br /><br />De Oppresso Liber<br />bacsiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-62028476730492591882009-10-24T02:26:34.581-05:002009-10-24T02:26:34.581-05:00Not my SKS.
