S***, you know what, I didn't come here to argue this crap. I already hang out at 4 political boards, and argue this stuff until I want to slice my own head off. So let's relate this to cars. So..

The liberals in government have tried to destroy the auto industry in this country for decades. and by the late 1970's, they had almost accomplished it. Poniac and Oldsmobile were two potential victims, as well as Chrysler, and nobody seems to realize how close Ford came to total destruction, but let's limit this to vintage cars, which we all know the left despise. What would happen if they got their way, and all the old cars were crushed or, in the EPA's parlance, "deactivated"? The aftermarket performance and restoration market is a multi-BILLION dollar a year industry. What would happen to the economy if this industry dried up over night? The blow to this country's economy would be catastrophic. Hundred of thousands of people out of work. And it would not just effect the companies that are directly involved (i.e. Holley, Year One, Goodmark, Edelbrock, etc.), it would effect peripheral businesses as well. Can you imagine the chain reaction here? Liberals never look to the long run. Or if they do, they assign it no importance compared to the environment. Much the same as our loss of manufacturing jobs. How many plants did Chrysler operate in this country in 1970? How many have moved to Mexico and Canada in the last thirty years. Why? If the Big Three had to update all these plants every year, per EPA regulation, they would go bankrupt. So, once again, the party that truly "cares" about the working man does everything in it's power to screw him over.

Ok, now I'm officially sick of this topic.
