Ah, the reporting on the conservative right-wing.
Let me ask you this, why do you hate America?
Do you want the US to be beholden to battery production in Asia? Oil extraction in the Middle East? Why don't you love America and want to protect it from overseas foreign powers with malicious intent?
Tell the truth, are you a communist, or have you ever been a communist, or seen one on TV?
