Crony-Capitalist Obama Supporters to Keep Your Money FAR Away From this Holiday Shopping Season...
Reaganite Republican ^ | 01 December 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 12/01/2012 4:19:17 AM PST by Reaganite Republican

Screw them, there's other places to shop


Patriots can choose to spend their money WISELY,
in a way that starves the Obama-enabling scum that
have been helping to raze this country to the ground
(while benefiting from it greatly themselves)...


Obama operates his regime not unlike Mussolini's Fascist Italy: a crony-capitalist, 'corporatist' arrangement where the Big Boys of industry and media are mostly in bed with the Il Duce -General Electric being a prime example- and everybody sitting at the big, shiny table gets WELL taken care of at the expense of the little people, small business, and ANY who dare not back the dictatorship... who needs to be helping them with any of that?

Think before you shop... here's some key political donations this last cycle, as reported by the Center for Responsive Politics:


-Clothing/Personal Products (ya don't need)-

ShoppingPrice Club/Costco donated $225K, 
99% went to Democrats 

Magla Products (Stanley tools, Mr. Clean) donated $22K, 
100% went to Democrats 

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia donated $153K, 
99% went to Democrats

Warnaco (Calvin Klein swimwear, Speedo, Chaps) 
donated $55K, 73% went to Democrats   

Estee Lauder donated $448K, 95% went to Democrats 

Guess, Inc. Donated $145K, 98% went to Democrats 

Calvin Klein donated $78K100% went to Democrats 

Liz Claiborne, Inc. Donated $34K, 97% went to Democrats 

Levi Straus donated $26K, 97% went to Democrats 

Olan Mills donated $175K, 99% went to Democrats


-Swill You're Better Off Without-

Southern Wine + Spirits donated $213K, 
73% went to Democrats 

Joseph E. Seagrams + Sons (incl. Beverage Business and considerable media interests) donated $2M+, 
67% went to Democrats 

Gallo Winery donated $337K, 95% went to Democrats


-Fast Food to Avoid-

Sonic Corporation donated $83K, 98% went to Democrats 

Tri-arc Companies (Arby's, T.J. Cinnamon's, Pasta Connections) donated $112K, 96% went to Democrats

And I wouldn't stay at no Hyatt hotel, neither... 80% of their $187,000 in political donations went to the 'progressive' left.




PLEASE download/print this and take it shopping with you... TIA! anti-Obama Christmas shopping boycott

Thanks for the list. I'm not sure how long I will last, but this coming year I am planning on buying little or nothing retail. My goal is to repair, up-cycle, re-use or shop Craig's list and garage sales as much as humanly possible. Home Depot, the dollar store, and Christmas or Birthday shopping doesn't count though. Haha

Thanks for the posting.

In some cases numbers can give the wrong conclusion.

For instance Stanley Tools showed to have “donated” 22 thousand dollars to Dems. Now, Stanley Works is a Global Company. It includes Black & Decker, National Hardware, etc. Their sales are between 4 & 5 Billion dollars. Think how small a contribution $22,000 is in relation. My bet is that this is actually “shake down” money. Not contribution to the “cause”.

Welcome to my life! 71 yo and this is the way that I have always shopped. You might be surprised at the amount of luxury cars parked outside the thrift stores.

Excellent list, thanks, I will print extra copies and leave them in shopping carts or next to the listed products on the shelf. It is difficult to convince Americans not to buy & consume.

I have an older gift card from a local florist/nursery that I’m using to buy two December birthday presents .... no “new money” being spent this year. Anything else I give over the holiday (family & two special friends) will be home made ... items baked in my kitchen like quick breads, venison mincemeat, and other ‘gift’ type items.

I’m a believer and, every chance I get, a practitioner...
I even boycott local businesses who support the wrong sheriff..
Not that hard to do.

I’m really surprised at Sonic. Oklahoma, their founding headquarters,is a very blue state.

Give the long lasting gift of snakes.

Most reptile breeders are conservatives who despise the government.

This is my plan too. Been doing it pretty consistently for 2 years now. It’s not hard once you get into it. It’s fun!

The best Christmas we ever had was when we made a rule that there would be no “new” gifts...thrift store, garage sales, hand made only.

Well, I would but Rattlesnakes are viviparous.

How about some turtle eggs, instead?
