Idaho to be first Chinese state

Where's Chuck Norris when we need him?

This sucks! Why isn't anyone doing anything. What the heck is wrong with the Congress of the U.S,

I dunno. I know if my uncle, who fought in Korea with the 101st Screaming Eagles, would be hooping mad at this if he was alive.

We might have to have a Second American Revolution to free us again in the future. Man, wish I could buy me an M1 Garand or a M1903 Springfield rifle (used in World War I)

Great one -- thanks for spreading the word about this. I suspect there are a lot of "exercises" involving foreign soldiers without our knowledge, and look who owns our debt anyway! Seems like Deng Xiao-Peng was really ahead of his time for opening China up to more free enterprise. Don't you think we need someone like that in America? Oh wait -- we do have Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. Maybe they should join forces! Thanks for posting this and stay vigilant!!

It seems kind of fair to me. Our dollars are coming home and will be spent here. Also, states give tax breaks to companies moving into the state all the time. Personally, I don't want the Chinese owning part of the US, but existing law makes it possible. We, the US, have factories in China - is that ok?

Souns kind of teasonous to me; The law needs to be repealed,and these treacherous individuals put on trial .

What a load of crap. The "Reverend" Bill Turner ought to be ashamed of himself for writing such a steaming pile of BS. To borrow from Billy Madison, at no point in his rambling, incoherent article was he even close to a rational thought. It's just a bunch of xenophobic word salad with a little tea party bigotry thrown into the mix. I can't imagine why anybody would take anything he writes seriously.

Laugh all you want, Willie, that is until you have the business end of a Red Chinese AK-47 at your back.

Sorry Charlie, but "Reverend" Bill Turner's brand of nativist xenophobic nonsense doesn't scare me. I've seen a lot of this sort of thing over the years, and it's all just sad. The hate and the fear doesn't help anybody. It damages everybody who buys into it and lets it take hold of them.

Well, if it came down to it, I would fight. As Patrick Swayze (Jed Eckert) in "Red Dawn" would put it, "because we LIVE here!" Although I would resemble Robert (C. Thomas Howell), my avatar, from the movie.

Wow, really? I thought most guys got over their adolescent Red Dawn fantasies by the time they saw Top Gun. Guess not. I think if you start shooting Chinese investors and business owners in Idaho, you're going to resemble Ted Kaczynscki, John Allen Muhammad, or Timothy McVeigh more than Robert the Wolverine.

This is happening right now.



Cartoon from 1953.

Or maybe we need a second American Revolution, the first one was to rid us of the UK, the second one, the Red Chinese. Then again, the British saw the Founding Father's as terrorists and so on, so sometimes the old adage of "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," as one of my teacher bsack in high school puts it does apply.

That cartoon was wrong then, and it's wrong now. Killing people, including Chinese investors and business owners, isn't going to bring back The Fifties™. The world is changing. That seems to be a very scary thing for a lot of people, but I think many of the changes are good ones.

The guys I listed weren't terrorists or freedom fighters. They were murderers and cowards.

Well, I didn't comment on the people you named but being more general. My viewpoint is I tend to follow the thoughts of psychologist Erich Neumann, a student of Carl Jung, where he believes there are no true victims and when a certain group of people, say lawyers, used car salesmen, Chinamen buying our assets or even politicians, start to have low approval and opinions among the people at large, this draws out the nutcases at first, in short, they make themselves targets by their actions and then as things get worse, many others join in, people who have nothing to lose. My father taught this to me a long time ago in simpler terms. That's why I'd never enter politics.

I'm not familiar with that particular "viewpoint", but it sounds pretty poisonous and insidious to me. No true victims? Well, maybe you, your dad, and Mr. Neumann all think that women deserve to get raped, children deserve to be murdered, various ethic groups deserve to be exterminated, etc. because somebody decided that their approval ratings were too low, but that sort of "blame the victim" mentality doesn't work for me.

Hmmm, looks like your conservative side is showing there, you are learning well, grasshopper. Maybe it is time to come out of the dark and into the light, com'n, Willie, crossover, you can do it. "Be a man among men." (with apologies to the Rhodesian Army, I saw it on a shirt in the back of "Soldier of Fortune" magazine)

Still you're a bit off, your scenarios tend to describe average Joes and Janes like us going about their business, the people who generally work and support the morass of government we have upon us. What I mean is that the bad things that certain groups are doing and this is causing them to have a bad reputation and causing anger because of it. Congress forced Obamacare on us despite the hue and cry against it. They are more and more intro our lives like the TSA, EPA and so on. There are many examples. Politicians have a much lower rating in many people's eyes, even lower than lawyers and used car salesmen. I even have more respect for bank robbers than I have for Congress and politicians in general. I keep thinking of the old joke, "don't steal, the government hates the competition."

We are all flawed, every one of us. We are all sinners. There is point though when a certain group crosses over some sort of line to where they are so flawed, they are seen as undesirables. Then the first thing to happen is that you either have nuts out there or people who are so at the end of their rope, they have nothing to lose, so the undesirables tend to draw a target on themselves. The perps in their minds see them as executing justice in their own way. I like to shorten it and call it the result of building up "bad karma," in a way, they bring is upon themselves as Dr. Carl Jung and Dr. Erich Neumann points out

True, there are members of the groups in question who have done good, but by association, they are seen as part of the problem. I don't support or endorse the actions of the nuts out there but if you are going to be in the public eye and dictate public policy and/or otherwise be seen as part of a very flawed group, you better pack heat, have security or be able to run fast. As my father said to a report when he witnesses a mall shooting, "you got to be aware of your surroundings and keep your eyes open," as he learned when he was in Korea.

Sounds like a load of BS to me, Charlie. If you think that kind of stuff justifies you shooting Chinese investors, or similar nonsense, then you're even sillier than the B-grade movie character that you use as an avatar. And yeah, I watched Red Dawn again over the weekend to confirm to myself that it really was as bad as I thought it was.

Of course, this goes right along with the agenda to destroy America anyway and everyway.

Why not promote American companies with tax breaks and incentives? Because it would HELP us and the point is to HURT us, not help us.

Agreed.

"Why not promote American companies with tax breaks and incentives? "

They do.

Wil, if they do then why, arent more companies staying in this country?

Our tax structure is way too punitive and they are afraid of more impending government regulations and what the Bammy is going to do. Capital will always go to where it is treated well.

Vickey, lots of companies are staying in the US, new ones are starting up (others are shutting down), and as discussed above, many cities, states, regions, etc. are encouraging foreign companies and investors to set up operations in the US. And some of them (example 1, example 2) are taking up the invitations.
