I don't mind the "buy american" people at all. Its just odd that 95 percent of what they buy and own is made over sea's. That most people who claim "buy american" usually are the same people looking to save a dime on anything else. Where are their dining sets made? Clothing? Kitchen appliances? HDTV's.
Again I don't mind the, buy American, crowd. I just is mind boggling those who lecture buy American, all while wearing shoes from Asia, wearing clothes made in Brazil or indonesia, watch their Korean made TV's, play their japanese made playstations and drink their imported coffee's.

For what its worth I agree with you. Its pretty much impossible as a middle class American to buy EVERYTHING American made because of the cost. But you can certainly purchase American made products when possible, which is what i do.
I buy New Balance shoes and American cars. I wear Levi jeans and even tho they are "made" somewhere else, the profits stay here in America.
