Here’s the long and short:

Capitalist economy allows for businesses to do whatever stupid things they want.

Target thus can take such a evil stand to cater to less than 2% of the population if I wants to.

And if those who CLAIM to be Christians and Bible-believers would actually stand on biblical truths in their shopping decisions, this crap would be rare. Home Depot would be out of business and Target would be rethinking this stupid position.

What’s next, a Target line of leather and stud ass-less chaps and gallon buckets of Astroglide in the pharmacy section?

Every time the subject of Walmart comes up, there is always a contingent of snobs who have to chime in with “I won’t (lower myself to) go to Walmart (with the rest of you lowlifes) because it is all Chinese junk. I shop at Target!”

Well, what do you Target ass kissers have to say now, hmmm?

I don’t shop at Target cause their sporting goods/outdoors area doesn’t sell firearms or ammunition.

So much for Tar-gay’s ‘political neutrality’.

DONE with them.

...I’ve known homosexuals. The very last thing they are is gay.

No, they're not. They are, as we said in my day, "queer." It's the best descriptive word and I wish people would drop that "gay" bit. Call them what they are.

I just had a talk with the wife. We don’t normally do things like this, but we’re out. We will travel a couple extra miles a month to divide the money we currently spent at Target between Walmart, Sam’s club, and Kohls.

I know they won’t feel the $150 to 200 a month we spend there but we’ll feel better about it. I’m not anti homosexual. I just don’t want my children exposed to the notion that this kind of lifestyle is normal.

Doctrinal purity is never expected nor demanded from the world. As Paul said, we’d have to leave the world to stop associating with the wicked (1 Cor. 5:9-10).

Christians have confused America with ancient Israel, as if GOD was leading us in a cloud. Their history is proof that even believers are felled by the stubbornness of sin. “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

Believers in Christ are the true counter-culture. Instead of these fruitless snits over commerce, we should be countering the Lie everywhere it is found by declaring the Truth. Those that have ears to hear it will, and those who do not will be hardened.

I’ve attempted to contact each member of the governing board with this letter. Feel free to copy and paraphrase at will.

Ms/Mr Board Member,
I have been a loyal Target customer for many years, spending many hundreds of dollars per month at your stores. I’ve recently become aware of Target’s horrendous promotion of homosexuality, particularly support for so-called homosexual “marriage,” which is properly illegal in 44 states. This is an unconscionable position to take, amounting to a slap in the face of the vast majority of Americans.

Therefore, I will take my thousands of dollars a year in purchases to other competitors. I don’t expect you to relent to numerous requests from concerned customers, because corporations like yours have shown themselves to be competely sold out to and cowed by radical sexual anarchists, who are much bigger bullies than normal people could ever attempt to be.

I will be cancelling my Target credit card this week and will encourage everyone within my sphere of influence to do the same and to avoid shopping at Target. It may not make much of a dent in your ill-gotten profits, but conscience demands it nevertheless.

Sincerely,
XXX

It’s time to start doing everything from scratch. Sewing cooking etc. I can purchase food at the local farmers market and eat out weekly at Chic-fil-A. I do need to learn to sew however.

This is not the same country I was born in. The very mood has changed. Nothing is stable or safe. It’s quite frightening how much worse off this country has become in such a short amount of time.

You said what I feel in my heart. Nothing is stable any more.

Think I found the email addresses of corporate managers and board members. Go to contacts on Targets website (http://investors.target.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=65828&p=irol-govmanage) and use (firstname).(lastname)@targetcorp.com.

I didn't get a return email, so it looks like they are going through. Let's bombard them with righteous outrage. I'm writing to every single one.

I’ll bet sales everywhere except San Francisco are up.

Well, the ones on university campuses are not up. I actually hope some of those close because I don't want to see employees harassed or even injured. Sometimes it's best to leave hostile territory.

Pink Mafia to America - you have to admit we’re normal or else.

They have ignorance on their side, but we have the science. (Even liberal NPR knows it: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/sites/all/play_music/play_full.php?play=204)

They have the government school system and the MSM, but we’ve got reality.

Who will win in the battle for America’s soul?

I think the net/net of all this is good for us. When they were in the shadows indoctrinating and sexualizing children they could act with impunity. Let’s get all this nonsense and lies out into the light.

The fundamental question to be answered is: Is homosexuality biological in nature and thus normal/natural or is it a psychological disease?

There are many functioning, but mentally ill people. They make up America’s alcholics, drug abusers (legal/illegal), and depressed. That homosexuality is a psychological disorder doesn’t make homosexuals evil. They’re sufferers. Noting this, proving it and then acting on cures or relief is good social policy. Pretending it’s normal isn’t.

Bad beliefs/doctrine lead to bad results. Look at the photos of homosexual events and you see mentally ill people degraded to barbarism. Do we as a nation go with them?
