I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.

    Right! So maybe “John-washing” cuz it’s all about the book of John.

      yeah, the only one of the Beatitudes in Matthew they seem to like is the one where they get to adopt a persecution complex. The stuff about being meek and merciful is damned un-American.
