22. The UAW has never let foreign cars be parked in their lots
This is a long-known rule of Detroit. The UAW owns the lot and can pick and choose who gets to park there. That's the way it's always been and the Marines can go buy land on Jefferson and build their own damn parking lot if they don't like it. There's plenty of vacant land on the east side of Detroit.

I don't like the way this is being portrayed as a patriotic issue. Protecting american jobs can be considered patriotic, too.

As far as the Bush stickers go, well, conservatives are always saying that free speech has a price. Sometimes they pay the price, too.
