Oh yes, the American company has been building their plane for the Air Force for some time but was informed that they wouldn't be allowed to bid on this shipment of them. It seems that the Brazilian company that has been stuck in totally civilian aircraft will be awarded the contract for our military planes. The only thing I have been able to find as a reason is that a man named Soros has a piece of the Brazilian company. Really??? That is kind of like Soros and Petrobas of Brazil a couple of years ago.

How long can this man continue to do these things? Hopefully less than one more year.

As did I, but what else would I expect from a globalist President? This idiot wants to be King of the World. He's just not that into the United States.

Why do we need this plane? We have drones.

He can keep doing it as long as all of those good old right-wing capitalist leaders in the private sector have been doing it, which is to say for decades already. It's the American way.

Why did you exclude all those left-wing capitalists?

Most of THEM really don't know that the Congress has been controlled nearly all of the past 60 years, by the Demoncrats. THEY just think of the 6 years of them with Bush and the 6 with Clinton and don't know about all the others.

The best part of this thread is that I bet Ambient doesn't even now that the Brazilian company is partially owned by George Soros as was Petrobas when Obama gave them the $11 billion a couple of years ago. Do you remember how fast Soros sold out of Petrobas back then?

I will not use the word that best describes what you just said but it could be something like very easy.

Did your wife get this message in an e-mail?

Hawker Beechcraft is the biggest airplane manufacturer in Wichita, Kansas or will be as soon as Boeing gets completely out. I wonder is Obama has been in on that deal.

Ok, ok... I mean right and left-wing capitalists - except that I thought that "left-wing capitalist" was an oxymoron since they are anti-capitalist Communist Marxist Socialists, according to the prevailing wisdom on this forum. The point is that we really should bash them all equally for this, not selectively like this thread attempts to do.
