REAL Americans will buy Meade, NOT Celestron

Sure it's a flame, but it's based on cold, jobless fact.
The fairy tale is over. The B.S. David versus Goliath
(Celestron versus Meade) fantasy is put to rest.
Now it's Wing Po Ling versus Joe America and buyers will
have to make a decision, as to who they will support.
The only good thing coming out of this will be that the
crybabies who lamented Celestron's business incompetence
as being due to Meade will FINALLY have to shut up!
Meade, for now, is still mfg'ing the big scopes in
California, as odd as that sounds. So, IMO, if any of you
profess any interest at all in the American worker, you'll
buy the Meades. At this point, you have no incentive whatsoever
to buy Celestron since pricing for both scopes is virtually
identical. If, at some point, Celestron scopes drop in price
due to their "migration" of production to RED China, then you'll
(like all Walmart shoppers) have a good reason to buy from the
Chinese. Until then, anyone who buys a Celestron must still be
labouring under the delusion that they are "fighting for the
underdog." Well, the underdog just turned traitor, so what
is it going to be, Americans?
