Destroy us from within?
« on: June 18, 2008, 01:55:36 AM »
The OPEC minister will look you in the eyes and say the following:
God gave this country all the resources we need and we would be fine, if we weren't too stupid to harvest them.

The OPEC minister will look you in the eyes and say the following:
'We are at war with you infidels. Have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology, so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy. We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!

While I am here I would like to thank you for the following:

Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tarsands. We know if you did this, it would create millions of jobs for US citizens, expand your engineering abilities, and keep the wealth in the US instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you b*******.

Thanks for limiting defense department purchases of oilsands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over-regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying by decades the development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska, and anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer! Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.

Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive food prices through the roof.

Thank you, US Congress!!!!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies to our benefit.

THANK YOU, USA!'

Now they say Budweiser will be taken over by Stella Artois.

I think Miller already belongs to the Germans.

"Budweiser is as American as baseball," *was*?

Take the first and last letter of America's best selling car: C***Y
Stick in AMR for America: CAMRY

When the dollar gets cheap enough, then maybe Chevrolet will become Toyota anyway.
I think an Avia is already an Isuzu-made product.


Then we'll just have the l apfelstrudel apple pie left.

Camrys are made in the US anyway.

Sort of made. Closer to "assembled from a large number of Japanese parts".

Chevys are quite often made in Canada, also with a large percentage of imported parts.

Actually, except for the Solara, Camrys have 75-80% US parts. And most of the rest are from Canada and Mexico, not Japan.

The Solara has about 60% US parts.
