They are for mammon, and whoever threatens the mammon threatens them.

My kids sometimes drink Cheerwine, which is made in Salisbury, up the Interstate from Charlotte. It’s horrible, like carbonated red Kool-aid.

I wonder if just a letter writing campaign could let them know that they aren’t holding a lone, forlorn candle.

That bad huh. Not even a specific flavor of red Kool-aid?

I tried it once, it seemed OK.

The reason every company is comfortable doing this is because they face ZERO repercussions. Any talk of boycotting is the dying gasp of a lost cause. Not a single company has ever backed off supporting the gay movement. Face it and move on.

Yes, I long for the good old days, not too long ago, when we were all told that homo-marriage wouldn’t impact the lives of traditional marriage people - after all, it was all about “fairness” and two people “loving” each other.

I think you are right . . . and we have not seen nothing yet... it will be getting worse.

I’m switching to Coke. I normally drink enough Pepsi to affect their stock. Watch it go gone when I switch to Coke.

But would you drink the red Kool-aid (so to speak) for the sake of the chillun?

They have also used fetal stem cells for product development. Their R&D observes how the cells react to certain ingredients.

The state’s action was triggered by a Charlotte ordinance allowing men who “felt feminine” to use women’s bathrooms. Both the city council and the state legislature were bombarded by complaints from normal people, organized by the Catholic Bishops, the Southern Baptists, the Church of God, etc.

The big issue now is the that Democrat Attorney General says he won’t defend the law against the inevitable state and Federal court challenges.

Boycotting gets unwieldy when a naughty company has a plethora of, well, company (of a different kind).

BUYcotting again is a way to fix it. Reward traditionalism. Don’t just face that and move on.

No, it’s disgusting. However, if a North Carolina winery decided to emphasize its moral stand, I would make a special effort to buy those products!

From what I understand of it, Nazism - national socialism - was a regime that married the tyranny of socialism allied with sympathetic corporate interests.

Or am I off-track on this?

I heard of that, and it seemed a cockeyed scheme, more like some kind of fig leaf for an ulterior interest. Who ever had a fetal organ cell report back what a good tasting batch of Pepsi was like? The traditional taster is always the best.

Ever since they replaced the saccharine with strychnine they have lost a lot of customers...

You speak in the abstract, as though it were even disgusting to God?

I guarantee Pepsi isn’t doing this in Saudi Arabia. It’s only in the U.S. and Europe where companies pull this diversity crap.

I wonder how our Saudi pals might react if someone told them that Pepsi was doing this. Maybe they would switch to Coke.

If anything should represent majority opinion it should be bathroom use. Those who do not like it can hold it.

This should be just a bad joke, but no. Liberal now make their discrimination case about whether men can use women’s restrooms and vice versa. They are nothing short of CRAZY.

Mr. Smith walks into a Pepsi plant Women’s bathroom and would be arrested before he zips.
