Just got home and found a bag with a t-shirt on my door from
www.americastore.com. It says "I love my country it's the government I'm afraid of". Think I'll go to their website and buy some more. Their logo says "products for the patriotic soul. I love it.

2. check to see where the shirt was made. Then you'll know if they take the statement seriously.

4. Good point. I checked the label and it says "Imported INTO
Mexico and made in Haiti". Aren't t-shirts made in America anymore?

11. Some are. But you have to check labels.
And some labeled "USA" are actually made in the Mariana Islands, where U.S. labor laws do not apply. But if it's Union Made in the USA, you know it's good.

3. White supremacists used something similar back
when Clinton was President. It went: "I love my country but I fear my government". I borrowed it for awhile when Bush became President as a commentary to them.

I would check into who is distributing them first. You can still borrow the idea though.

7. The problem is not with government per se. The problem is with
those who are currently running it who want to prove that government doesn't work and the private sector can do a better job.

I would use the T-shirt to wash my car.

8. It's a nice shirt. I'll wear it to bed but not out in public. Hell, I'm a
sucker for anything free.
