I’ve sat by and watched progressives attack our liberties, our Constitution and our way of life for long enough. No more.
For too long, conservatives have been content to sit on what we call the high ground while the Left racks up small victory after small victory until all we have left is the high ground under our butts. Enough.
They go after Rush Limbaugh, and conservatives say, “This is an outrage,” but do nothing. The most extreme, racist left-wing groups contact advertisers and sponsors and pressure them to abandon shows and networks that made them. And too often – and far too quickly in a lot of cases – the advertisers cave. If not for their spots on Rush’s show, I never would have heard of Angie’s List, Carbonite or many others who’ve bought into the faux anger the astroturf pros drummed up.
I’ve used ProFlowers in the past but never again. There are plenty of other options for sending flowers, just as there are options for every sponsor who sides with the Left.
Normally conservatives say, “I don’t support boycotts, but I’m never going to use company X again,” and have done with it. No more.
I am asking you to join me in never, EVER using any product or service from ANY company that sides with or caves under pressure from those who seek to silence us. And avoid any company that supports their hate-machine monetarily.
We learned this week that Color of Change, the race-based progressives group funded by George Soros and founded by communist/truther Van Jones, pressured Coca-Cola into abandoning the Left’s latest boogeyman – the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC helps draft voter ID laws throughout the country. That’s what it does – create model legislation, on request, to help state lawmakers.

PING!
it will only work if people not only stop using the products...
but also call the companies and explain why
it’s the calls, not the dip in sales, that the companies are caving to
Some fairly comical exchanges of insults on the Yahoo CARB message board as to whether the “Limbaugh effect” has been erased by recent stock price increases. Of course short-term variations aren’t important except to day traders, Carbonites future will be determined in the marketplace and you won’t find a stronger champion for free markets than Rush.
The political orientation of the supplier is way way down the list of factors determining a purchase decision, and that’s why boycotts are ineffective.
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals.
His deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.
Will the “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?

It tells me that George Bush had the intelligence on him and did nothing to prevent an avowed Communist and enemy of the United States from infesting our White House.
It tells me that people on our side in high places have been threatened, along with their families.
It tells me that they have been told to go through the motions and make the usual noises but NOT CROSS THE LINE.

I, for one, am a bona-fide foreign, Kenyan Racial Profiler, and I make a special effort to “cross the line” drawn by any PC political party.
BTW, PC is to DC what “roadapples” are to horses.
Obama is Bush’s Fault.
By cross the line, I mean come out and expose the evil bastard for what he is. maybe we’ll see someone with the cajones do that but I’m not holding my breath.
I call PC Bull Sh-— every day.
“Avoid buying anything from any company. Become more self-sufficient. Starve the corporate socialist beast.”
I have already started. I am now brewing my own beer. Of course I still have to buy grains, yeasts, hops, adjuncts, and other assorted stuff.
Perhaps we need a thread on tactics and strategy. We need to pick apart the effectiveness of boycotts and other tactics. Conservatives are loath to do things just because some other person says...unlike liberals. However, if we understand all the elements of strategy and their effect on the adversary I think we would garner much broader support.
Obama is Bush’s Fault.
Obama is not Bushe’s fault. Obama is the result of 100 years of Progressive attack and indoctrination.
check out the list, too....
I prefer to think that the stock market has been rising because Americans like us are hoping that they see an end to this very Un-American nightmare we have been subjected to, i.e., Obama.

Meanwhile, the drumbeat of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack continues to grow louder : -— regulate -— control -— destroy -— Regulate -— control -— destroy -— REgulate -— control -— destroy -— REGulate -— control -— destroy -— REGU
If I boycotted everything that has been suggested, there would be very little I’d be able to buy. Instead I maintain my own boycott list in my head.
Examples are, Best Buy, Casey’s, Wendy’s restaurants and there are others. I have my reasons and would not expect others to join me. Buy from whomever and boycott whomever you wish and I’ll do the same.
The drumbeat gets louder and we get more posts like yours saying the drum beat is getting louder. I’m certain everybody knows the drumbeat is getting louder. Yet there are no posts or threads as you have just pointed out about anything being done about the freaking loud drum beat... right? Did I miss your plan to overcome the drumbreat somewhere? If I did let me know.
Yeah, I knew it was BS when I wrote it. I was just wondering if you thought that....
I don’t consider it a boycott. It’s just another informed consumer choice.
“Obama is Bush’s Fault.”
Absolutely. But, not just Bush’s fault. He is the fault of every CFR-affiliated, globalist-supporting politician, media exec, and CEO of US citizenship. I don’t trust a single one of them.
Here’s the problem. The people you call “conservatives” are not conservatives at all. They are elite. They want Romney. They are going to get him. And they want us to slaveringly follow along, hoping against hope we will do the “lesser of two evils” thing.
NOT this time. These people are the enemy of conservatism. I will not vote them into my camp. No Romney. no faux conservatives, I don’t care WHO wins but I won’t do that again.
Santorum 2012
Now I understand that their CEO is a big democratic donor and is having conservative comments banned from their website.
It seems strange to me that the CEO would side with the democrats who are often vegetarians against conservatives who are mostly meat eaters.
There was a cadre of hard core commies that settled in Hawaii. His maternal grandparents, along with their friends, went from NYC, to Washington State, tto Hawaii. They stayed one foot ahead of Tailgunner Joe. Hawaii was not a state. Check out the Russian Studies program at Washington where his mom met his biological dad. Also check out the Little Red School House and what families sent heir kids there. Italian disciples of Gramsci were also there. Also, check out who bought Franklin Marshall to Hawaii

Your tagline is beautiful!
-—“One half of all people have below average IQ. In the US the number is 54%”
Too funny!!!
I think that Coca-Cola is now produced in Mexico. Anybody know about that?
Some Freepers can't help attacking the GOP. I swear to God you could some quote from DU and one from FR and not be able to what forum it came from.
To which Bush fully participated. Show me one speech where Bush stood up against the progressive agenda.
Then let's talk about No Child Left Behind and how it gave the feds control (using dollars) over every school system in the U.S.
Or, how about the greatest gift to progressivism in the last thirty year - subsidized drugs for seniors. I didn't notice the progressives turning that one down.
Bush's policies were the pre-cursor to Obama. The final Bush endorsement of Obama and progressivism came when he said, "We have to abandon the free market in order to save it."
After that the country said, "Even the GOP is now endorsing the destruction of capitalism and the growth of federal control. We might as well vote for Obama."
Damn Bush and country club attitude.
we attack the gop because we are not republicans... we are conservatives ( some more hard line than others ) and we all know the gop is not conservative, but socialist lite.. and bushie was one of the more liberal gop presidents around.... drug benefit, patriot act, and many other liberty killing laws were signed by him...
Obama is the fault of traitors who supported him, worked for him, voted for him, and those who have betrayed their oath of office and have refused to impeach this traitorous squatter in the Oval Office.
Thanks. I’m due to renew my GEICO auto insurance for my 2 vehicles next month and now will look for another carrier and will let them know in no uncertain terms as to why (after 10 years with them) I’m cancelling my policy and will pass the word to every other Conservative I know to do the same.
Or they have been totally bought off as useful idiots...
Oh, yes, our Founding Fathers would be proud of their descendents fighting for freedom and rights by refusing to buy fizzy sugar water and flowers.
Perhaps you have not noticed that all soft drinks are produced regionally in the US. The soft drink companies sell these regional producers the syrup and use of their name.
” - - - I’m certain everybody knows the drumbeat is getting louder.”
Perhaps you are correct for the 50 % +/- of the voter age population who take the trouble to actually vote.
The problem is that what they hear is interpreted differently. For example, the OWS, and the Democrats hear the joyful sounds that FINALLY the evils of Capitalism are being overcome by the utopian will of a benevolent dictatorship, the highest good according to the brightest professors in Amerika.
For others, such as yours truly, it is simply a slow motion re-play of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. (The first thing the Bolsheviks did was to attack the Russian Banks).
IMHO, most voters don’t even hear the drumbeat, but view politics as just a bunch of noisy adults who are behaving as spoiled brat teenagers on their dime.
As a practical matter, voters will vote based on the emotions generated by the Liberal Agenda Media, (LAM), and their own pocketbooks.
Since 50 % of American workers do not pay Personal Federal Income Taxes, (PFIT), most of them will vote to support the candidate who will not request that they “pay their fair share.” Thus, the base for Obama’s poll support stays around 40 %.

” - - - - Did I miss your plan to overcome the drumbreat somewhere?
No, you did not because “the plan” is being rejected by voters in each election.
Winston Churchill stated it best: “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing, - - - after they have exhausted every other possibility.”
IMHO, the central problem is the epic battle between Government and Free Market control goods and services.
For the past 80 years, ( from Social Security on), the Federal Fecal Finger has turned everything it touches into THE POLITICS OF DEBT.
As long as the majority of voters continue to vote for politicians who promise “Entitlements” in exchange for votes, THE POLITICS OF DEBT will continue to destroy America.
Dictator Obama is just speeding up the 80 year old destruction of America.
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
With 40 % of American voters clamoring for more “safety net” entitlements, it will be a long time before they reject the Federal Fecal Finger and choose “The Invisible Hand” of a free Market.
BTW, when does a “safety net” become a “hammock?”
BTW, BTW, ping me when you post the thread that you advocate. I think that it is THE direction that we need to pursue on FR!
Yep.
Thank you for that.
I knew you were being sarcastic Cyber. Unkus was not sarcastic.
Or they have been totally bought off as useful idiots...
Hopefully all haven’t sold their souls to the devil and we’ll see a show down.
It must suck to have no voice in the future of your country. Neither party speaks for you, so other people get to decide the direction of the USA. Pathetic.
Sorry, I love my Mom, my aunt, and my Dad’s wife. Not gonna stop seeing them. Family is important.
Mike Huckabee is a nice guy, and I like that. However, that character trait will ensure that he won’t beat Rush.
