That is not really true these days. The US is very close to Carter's
goal of making the US energy independent. The only glitch is oil
itself, overall, with nat gas exports, we are "net" energy
independent. The Keystone pipeline would actually make us a net energy
exporter again.
That fact is not lost on the arabs and it is apparent at the pump
today.
Actually when I look at who plays ball these days, that is not a "buy
American" plan either.
Go to a NASCAR race !
Several years ago before Toyata was part of Nascar there was debate
on the whether a Japanese car should be allowed. The cars used as models
for Nascar stock cars then were the Chevrolet Monte Carlo built in
Canada, the Ford Fusion built Mexico and the car in question was the
Camry built in Tennessee.

PS. I could have some facts wrong but the point that is, both the Ford
and Chevy were built in other countries and the Camry was built in the US.
I'm surprised you righties like NASCAR so much, what with the cars only
turning left.

Just because you are opposed to abortion doesn’t make you pro-life. Your
morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a
child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed, not a child
clothed, not a child able to see the doctor. That’s not pro-life…that’s
pro-birth.
