Opinion: Country First? I don't think so.

Really?

Today I saw a car proudly displaying a large bumper sticker reading, "Country First".

The bumper sticker was placed neatly next to the TOYOTA imprint on the gate of the giant SUV.

It seems that every time I see someone with an American flag magnet, a "God Bless the USA"  or "Country First" bumper sticker, the car is a Honda, a Nissan, a Volkswagon or some other imported car. 

I don't care what your attitudes are about American cars.  If you hate them for some obscure reason, fine.  I don't care.  Don't drive one.  Drive whatever you want to.  But if you choose to drive a car not made by Americans, don't pretend you put your country first.  Everyone who sees your bumper sticker doing your flag waving for you will know that you put yourself first.
