At the local Commerce meeting, a small group of us (who also go to Tea Party meetings) began discussing made in the Confederate States of America tags.

We ran some numbers and came up with:

-7 Central VA small to medium companies totaling $1 billion/year of revenue

- Those 7 companies spend about $500 million/year in raw materials.

- Out of that $500 million, about $400 million is bought from US suppliers (though not necessarily made in the US)

- We estimated that about half is made above the Mason Dixon Line... so, take the 7 companies and consider all of the manufacturing companies in "red" VA - 748 according to Mantra.com

- In VA alone, if people resourced our goods to Southern States we would take $21.2 Billion dollars out of Liberal hands.

I started this morning.

you would think losing the first time would teach you...sounds like it may be time the South learns another lesson in what happens when you throw a tantrum.

this is what happens when you let treason go unpunished

There's nothing wrong with voting with one's dollars. Of course Liberals think that your money belongs to them anyway and that using violence to remove yours from you is perfectly fine. The end always justifies the means with these people.

Losing what? Out producing other states? Those heathens.

LOL at you. This is about the south producing products on American soil. Not the civil war.

Not my fault....I have zero control over anything that occurs in Washington. I vote against every incumbent...every time. I have nothing but contempt for those in Congress and in Washington in general. If the entire place slid off into the river...I would celebrate.

The way I see it, it's the only way we can fix this without fighting.

I'm working on a "Made in CSA" or "Made in the South" trademark that I can lease to manufacturers. Gonna turn heads. See ya later "Duck Dynasty" memorabilia from ATK.

Go look at how the country votes. You are eliminating huge parts of the country that are more conservative than liberal. Hell, YOUR Southern state just elected McAuliffe!

Really? Don't know history very much either.

Jerry,

That's actually a brilliant idea. It feeds into the current mindset. If I could make a nickel off of every confederate flag I see I could retire tomorrow and my kids kids would be set. Nothing wrong with coming up with a good idea and profiting off of it. I really think that's a winner. Like that imported from Detroit marketing campaign Chrysler had a couple of years ago.

You could go with that! Imported from the CSA!!!!

Honestly that's f'in brilliant and you would make money patenting the slogan.

Fairfax doesn't make a darn thing other than government checks.

Don't worry, I've already excluded them from participation without lifting a finger.

The vast majority of people on both sides were honorable men. The fact that there is very little ill will remaining from that conflict is a result of the victors in the conflict not seeking much in the way of retribution from the vanquished.

Considering your earlier comment - you would have obviously been in the minority had you lived during that time.

Yep, from what I've read Lincoln wanted to welcome the South back without animosity, but once that idiot Booth pulled the trigger, all bets were off. The North was pissed and the result was reconstruction.
