Not all wars are fought with bullets.....

Jesus next thing you know we'll have to hire Americans. You no what a bunch shitheads they are. Then the government will  be able to tax and lend money again here in America. Might even save the economy.

Can't have that.

Who's going to pay all those bankers fees and international bank loans?

This won't last. No body gets or stays elected for defying the ruling elites war on the working stiff!

Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress have declared war on Canada. The press is calling it a "trade war," but aggression is aggression:

Ordered by Congress to "buy American" when spending money from the $787 billion stimulus package, the town of Peru, Ind., stunned its Canadian supplier by rejecting sewage pumps made outside of Toronto. After a Navy official spotted Canadian pipe fittings in a construction project at Camp Pendleton, Calif., they were hauled out of the ground and replaced with American versions. In recent weeks, other Canadian manufacturers doing business with U.S. state and local governments say they have been besieged with requests to sign affidavits pledging that they will only supply materials made in the USA.

Outrage spread in Canada, with the Toronto Star last week bemoaning "a plague of protectionist measures in the U.S." and Canadian companies openly fretting about having to shift jobs to the United States to meet made-in-the-USA requirements. This week, the Canadians fired back. A number of Ontario towns, with a collective population of nearly 500,000, retaliated with measures effectively barring U.S. companies from their municipal contracts -- the first shot in a larger campaign that could shut U.S. companies out of billions of dollars worth of Canadian projects.

And this war isn't just causing friction between nations -- it's doing damage within U.S. cities:
