    The arsenal of freedom

    Does America really want to see its manufacturing base disappear? Let's remember that Detroit builds not only cars and trucks, but in times of war, it builds tanks, too. Who knows what the future will bring? Do we want to be without the domestic ability to defend ourselves? Will we rely on foreign-owned factories in the South for our security?

    The GOP cares about one thing and one thing only: the wealthy. They hate unions because unions challenge the wealthy. In their hatred for the working man and woman, the GOP betrays its true lack of patriotism. The GOP should rot in hell.
