On the 4th of July, I saw a young girl wearing a t-shirt with an American flag in the shape of the United States. The flag had blotches and scratches through it. Beneath it were the words "Faded Glory 2008." I was appalled that anyone would choose to wear such a t-shirt on the 4th of July.
Further inquiry showed these shirts were sold by Wal-Mart and came in Men's, Ladies', Girls', Boys', infant, and toddler sizes. They even had one for dogs. The whole family could insult our nation together. Priced from $2.50 to $3, you know they cannot be American-made.
Why am I not surprised to find out Wal-Mart sold these America-bashing t-shirts? Is there any company working as hard as Wal-Mart to undermine the American economy by buying from China and other foreign producers? If the Wal-martization of America continues unabated, then these "Faded Glory" t-shirts are a harbinger of our future.
