And one could write the same story about shoes from Indonesia, shirts
from Myanmar, pants from Haiti, belts from India, row crops picked in
the U.S., meals served at many a restaurant in the U.S., alpaca
sweaters knitted in Peru, rugs woven in Pakistan, copper goods hammered
in Turkey, etc.

That isn't new news my friend.

That isn't new news my friend.


What isn't news to you is that you are complicit.

Ross Perot was right.

Are you seriously trying to equate an American farmer sitting on valuable
real estate and capital assets to a Chinese peasant with little to no
education, who owns absolutely nothing thanks to land confiscation by the
CCP
in China? - LOL

Should we therefore Ban Family Farms and Small Businesses ?

Family farms are run by capitalists who purchase, own their "business" and
have rule of law to back up contracts. They choose to farm and actually
enjoy farming, their self determination and business "ownership". Your
logic has collapsed. See above. I suggest you read a fair bit more about
the history and current plight of dirt poor peasants in China and how they
have been economically raped and murdered since 1949!

Should we Boycott Food from our own US Family Farms ?

Should we boycott the Ford motor company because Henry Ford worked long
hours to make his business?

Should we Boycott Small Independent Business ?

Should we boycott the corner dunkin-donut shop?

Do People have the Right To Exploit Themselves for their
own needs and wants ?

Do people have the freedoms, "Rights & Benefits bestowed by Rule of Law" for
the pursuit of happiness?


God {Allah} Bless All of America's Family Farmers - Amen !

Comrade "John S." propagandized

As you continue to whistle in the dark, the bogeyman will continue to
become successful.

Successful at what? Global hegemon? The type of hegemon that left-wing
moonbats, supported by the Communist Itnl., rant and rave on about in their
ideological stupor?

Remember it is China that is hosting the 2008
Olympics

I seem to recall the Olympics hosted in numerous countries.
What relationship does that have to do with this discussion?
Your nationalistic tone is bleeding Red.

and it is China that is emerging as an economic shperpower
that dwarfs it's island neighbor.

Ha ha, dwarf? Your short a pint.

The ONLY way that Taiwan will
succeed in the long run is to remain a part of China, and it's leaders
have recognized this reality.

I can here the Communist Party "International" being sung uber alles.

And as I think about it for a moment,

Yes, at least one moment may help you.

Taiwan was in the post WWII era an independent country only because the
U.S. needed a democratic (well, at least non-communist) ally in the
asian theater cold war.

Rewritting history according to the CCP. Your specialty. Unfortunately
people in the free countries have access to the true history about the
Communists in China during WW2. Which Communist Chinese University did you
graduate from "John"?

Beginning with Kissinger in the 1970's the
U.S. has been backing away from that relationship.

No, your short more that a quart. I'm afraid your information is obviously
biased, inaccurate, lopsided, dated and clearly Nationalistic. The moment
Communist China's PLA steps one toe on Taiwan is the day that the Chinese
Communist Party begins to burn on the ash heap of history. Believe it,
Comrade!

Taiwan has not nor will it EVER host the Olympics. To host the
olympics a geographic location has to be recognized as a country and
Taiwan will not attain that status. Too bad it isn't otherwise, but
the world of politics is a tough place at times.

It would help protect you from making further erroneous statements if
you read up on the history of Taiwan. It has a very short history as a
pseudo independent country. It has a much longer history as been one
of being occupied - indeed centuries. The only reason the U.S. called
Taiwan indepdent was to provide a buffer against the perceived
communist threat and to counter conserns over the domino theory.

Like it or not the U.S. has since Kissinger/Nixon policies of the
1970's been opening the door for China and gradually shutting it on
Taiwan. You can continue to wish it otherwise, but the reality of the
world that Taiwan will have to exist in is quite different.

Please name one moment in time when the Chinese Communist Party has ever set
foot on Taiwan. Just one!
There are no, none, nada, historical facts to prove that the current
Communist regime in Beijing has ANY claim upon Taiwan. In fact Taiwan has
never been claimed as a part of mainland China before 1949, never, in all of
history. In fact, since you are obviously ignorant of the facts, an ancient
emporer of China had refused to encompass Taiwan in its military defense
saying so much as Taiwan is not a part of China. Futhermore, if you beleive
that the U.S. would allow the Communist government in Beijing to simply walk
on water onto democratic Taiwan with its full blessings than you are
completely ignorant.

You seem to enjoy wasting my time with your ignorance. Perhaps a trip to
the Asian history department of your local University may be better to "fill
in your idle time".

Oh please, what an idiotic statement!!! CHINA along with several
others was an occupier, but you already know that since I gave you this
history lesson once before.
