I grew up in an area that was just getting out of the farming mindset. Lots of very opinionated conservative neighbors around.

Agreed. I do not shop at Walmart either. I would also agree that buying American is neither a liberal of conservative idea. It's just the smart thing to do. the more money you keep in the country the better the economy will do. the only ones benefiting by our corporations acting with such disregard for the rest of us is the corporations and their overpaid fat cat elitists.
Buying American itself isn't a liberal or conservative idea, but the conservatives, CURRENTLY, are the ones who are AGAINST doing anything about outsourcing, with "free market values" being chanted over and over again and a cherry on top.

There have been some conservatives out there who have actually had the audacity to say that job outsourcing is GOOD for America, as if losing jobs is a good thing. It's just such a radical departure of what conservatives were saying in the 80's.
