Actually it was the imbecilic homosexual sycophant CEO) who began the debate by telling unidentified stockholders to sell their stocks if they didn’t believe homosexuals should get married.

Boycotting Starbucks product is easy as it’s expensive and liberal elitists patronize the establishments.

Since I’ve never patronized a Starbucks establishment I’ve never bought their stock. I’m rather like the guy who used to head up the Magellan Fund: He would try the product and if he liked it he’d buy their stock.

Absolutely, but not overpowering.

They also have more caffeine per cup. Try grinding your coffee finer and adding a couple of extra scoops.

But we like Chick-filet because of their views, don’t we?

People certainly will gravitate towards those whose views correspond to theirs, but companies really should concentrate on their business and not nose into politics.

I imagine a good percentage of his workforce is homosexual or lesbian and he doesnt want picketers.

I agree, but I guess when you have stockholders, you have to answer questions...then stuff like this happens.

Regardless of the dis-orientation of his employees, it was stupid for him to offer up this opinion unsolicited. It will cost them more than it gains them.

I know our education system is flawed but do you really want to spend $80,000 giving a BA in art history to a vending machine?

What you do not understand is that picketers all over the country in front of their stores will do them much harm. Leftists picket and bomb-throw to get their way. There are many leftists and their ilk who would love to spend a day acting out in order to bend someone to their will.

Conservatives will not hurt SB much. They will not picket. There will not be bad publicity. Some conservatives will stop buying but that wont hurt as much as leftist picketing.

Starbucks and the perverts demand tolerance for me but hell if there will be any for thee who disagrees with the death spiral into perversion and the moral abyss.

Here’s a real hoot:

Starbucks CEO tells shareholder to seel his holdings if he disagree with the Starbuck company policy of supporting gay marriage.

Starbucks has a two-hour slot today, to sell their wrares on QVC, today at 6pm Eastern!!!!!

Call your friends, boycott QVC, for those hours.

That's it. No more Starbucks for me. Easy to do. I live in a big city with three independent coffee shops within short walking distance. I used to go to SBUX because it's about 20 cents cheaper. I know avoiding Starbucks may be more difficult for rural and suburban Freepers, but it IS worth the sacrifice. Some instant brands are every bit as good as SBUX in any case.
