Home of the Brave

The recent incident involving a US embassy automobile that was attacked on a Mexican road possibly by members of the Mexican government's own law enforcement community,  is a sad chapter in the decline of American prestige around the world.

Upon closer inspection of the scene photo, it turns out that the SUV is a Toyota. This may explain the brazen attack. How can the US expect anyone to respect its global power and prestige when its most important agency and cabinet department has so given up on America that they parade around their presence in a  product made in a foreign country by a foreign company.. It's akin to showing the flag, but of  another country (the rising sun in this case).  Why don't they drive a product designed and manufactured in the United States since before Japan was even able to produce an automobile. I bet the mexicans would never have had the nerve to shoot at a Cadillac.

Driving on the highways of America, I feel like a foreigner in my own country. For every american car that passes me or that I pass, there are six to ten foreign cars. If individual americans don't see enough value in american made cars, at least our government should.

It's time we showed our own flag.
