Do Teabaggers realize they support Communism by shopping for Christmas gifts at Walmart?
Jus' sayin'.

I'm in the middle of writing a satirical "Christmas song" where an aunt gives a Walmart gift to her nephew and realized the Captain Obvious (no, it's not a toy) logic with this season of "giving"...

Do Walmart shoppers (and just about everyone else) realize they are supporting a Chinese communist regime that has Chinese slave labor camps set up first under Mao in the 1950s that are known as "Laogai" that make that cheap toy or that cheap shirt?

Santa Laogai uses his whips and chains to make the gifts we Americans give so satisfying!

Why is this in the Presidential forum? Perhaps because the same goddamn people who call Obama a "socialist" or "commie" are the same people that file into their minivan and head to the Walmart mall to buy cheap shit to appease their guilt as common assholes.

2. Some do, and they don't care. As long as the stuff is cheap
they really don't care about anything else.

7. I see Buck knives listed, they advertised for years they
were made in the USA. I was in a Cabela's store yesterday and they had probably 30 different styles of Buck knives on display and there were only 2 still made in the USA. Looks like we will lose them soon.

Chinese Admit Organ Harvesting





China is trying to move away from the use of executed prisoners as the major source of organs for transplants
.

According to the China Daily newspaper, executed prisoners currently provide two-thirds of all transplant organs
.

The government is now launching a voluntary donation scheme, which it hopes will also curb the illegal trafficking in organs.

But analysts say cultural bias against removing organs after death will make a voluntary scheme hard to implement.

Thriving black market

About 1.5 million people in China need transplants, but only about 10,000 operations
are performed annually, according to the health ministry.

8. I don't think the Chinese are communist in practice any more. The government is in name only.

10. Yes, they are just like us in that regard.
Or is it we do that to support forced child labor? Maybe we do it for both reason....that sounds right.
