The Hypocrisy of Selectively Buying Local

From Jim Swift:

As I was in bumper to bumper traffic this morning, I got stuck behind a fellow Alexandrian with a “Buy Local” sticker on his car.

How ironic, a buy local sticker on an imported Land Rover LR2! Now, Land Rover was a British company, recently owned by Ford (until 2008), but they sold it to Tata Motor Company along with Jaguar. Tata is an Indian company.

What exactly was going through the mind of the person who did this? My motivations are more important than your consequences, perhaps?
