God bless America, because you know god wouldn't bless anywhere else. Only America deserves the blessing.
"American Made" has long stopped meaning quality or high end, now it means something more like "assembled by illegal mexican workers in a plant owned by Asians in a state that is trying to cede from the Union".
Sorry, it just doesn't wash.
I am with the site owner, the british flag is the proper indication of english language content. They could use an american flag, but then they would have to use terms like "nite" and "y'all".

That's exactly the attitude that pisses me off.
You SAY it has come to mean that because of the mass media controlled message of "gee, we're rich trust fund babies and feel guilty about our success, so we'll piss on the system to makes ourselves feel better."
That's not when I grew up, not how I feel, and not what "proudly made in the USA" means to me.
No mexican workers here in Central PA man, you're thinking about SOCal. We aren't part of that scene.
And once again, man asked my opinion, I gave it. Piss people like myself off, at your peril. The only thing that will suffer, is sales.
