Sheesh folks, actually READ Uncle Rick's post. He's pointing out irony. An American owned company, is selling in their US stores, a line they have manufactured in China, and they call it "Faded Glory". Pretty ironic if you ask me.

The irony did not elude me, I just have a strong dislike for that place. That ''Faded Glory'' and the irony is as old as the years the brand has been out.
The last time I went in there was to buy ammo, It was then that they stopped selling firearms and ammo in the ones here, haven't been back.

My Wranglers are made in Mexico too, but at least they use US made denim. About 10 years ago, Levi started a big anti-gun campaign, and they still contribute to anti-gun groups. Won't touch the brand.

China's day of reckoning is coming, if it hasn't started already. Once you destroy your competitors you are ironically destroying your markets as well. People have to have the cash/credit to buy cheap Chinese goods and not everyone can work directly or indirectly for the Chinese. Besides, they're probably the planet's cheapest employers, greatest polluters, and unrepentant copyright pirates. Criminals on the grand scale.

Back in the day, I had a friend who would only frequent local small businesses. He wanted to support American entrepreneurship. Not me. I was one of the "free market" sheep basing my purchase primarily on best price. Now the mandarin gallinas have come home to roost.
