...I just caught up with thread and your "(right jay!!)" wasn't lost on me. Now, I'm genuinely sorry that your plant closed and I sincerely hope you find something in a different line of endeavor quickly and that you prosper.

That said, however, I'll stand by my thoughts from four years ago when we went at it in this thread:

With a statement such as "want to thank all of you chippers who still buy american.this is my secound plant closing after moving 1200 miles from new jersey to minnesota.dont want to thank all those jap car buyers who still put the american flag stickers on thier cars and think thier supporting this great country of ours" you are STILL equating the purchase of American cars with partiotism and it's just as invalid today as it was then.
