Any society that would give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both.

Chinese Friday


The Friday after Thanksgiving is considered the heaviest shopping day in America. The logic for the phenomenon is to purchase more junk for more thanks to be celebrated next year. A self fulfilling prophesy perhaps. The patron saint of Thanksgiving is the Turkey. Not the country, the bird. As Abraham sacrificed his first born ,Thanksgiving carves a turkey for every American table. Life is good for the Turkey until the leaves begin to turn color in the North. The timing coincides nicely with the Christian observance of Christmas, now only a few weeks away. Christ's birthday is celebrated with more junk for next years Thanksgiving observance thus, completing the circle of the Retail Theocracy. Thanksgiving is a American holiday unobserved in other parts of the world.

I'm not sure how the rest of world get by but, I'm sure they must have similar Keynesian Holidays tied to their GDP. China is a Communist, Buddhist Country without Pumpkins, Pilgrims or Christmas. The Turkey is nothing more than a large Chinese Chicken.
No other Country in the world profits so well from what could only be described as a gift from Buddha himself. Just as sure as the leaves will turn color in the Fall, the Wise Men of Wall Street will appear with factory orders and American Gold. We no longer trade in Frankincense and Muir.

China was our Alli in World War 2 but, in the Korean Conflict they fought against the US Military. Just this morning it was announced North Korea fired missiles at South Korea. Two South Korea Marines died in the attacks. Happy Thanksgiving from Communist North Korea.

America was on a fast track to squash North Korea in 1950 like a road pizza until the Chinese crossed the border aiding the Communist North. The war raged on and the 38th parallel established as a result of attrition. Both Countries exhausted their ability to win and victory never resulted.
This year when you purchase lead painted poisonous products for loved ones, tell your cashier
" Buddha Sent Me" or "Mao has a better idea" and see if you get another 10% off the National Debt.

This year I ask all Americans to support the Troops and Veterans of World War 2, Korea and Vietnam. Buy American Products this year. Demand American Products and American Factories. You may pay more in dollars but we won't be sending our youth to slaughter and the military budget will decrease. China will develop their own economy with their Communist Allies.

Demand American Products this Christmas. America needs high paying skilled jobs for our youth not merchants of death in the military.
