The Donald (or his offspring) have read my mind!

The FReepers I know who know my real name will remember my post from July 17 comparing mahometans to jellybeans.

Yes, and the pontificating Corporate jerk, needs to understand the essential distinction, and the importance of the completely apt analogy.

The Constitution very clearly requires that the Government of the United States--but not necessarily a chewing gum company--is obligated to put Americans First. If the Wrigley Executive does not understand that, someone in the Corporate structure should take him aside and explain it, so that he does not continue to make a fool out of himself.

"Who We Are? (Trump Supporters)

And by the way. How proud our next President must be of the fine--truly fine--"kids," whom he has raised!!

William Flax (To make sure any Wrigley executive who thinks I have incorrectly defined his competence in this matter, knows who I am.)

Yep, I’d have never heard of it if Wrigley had let it be.

Companies need to know when to keep their mouths shut. Now is such a time.

The Democrats would turn the baneful eye of the Federal Leviathan on any company that had the temerity to back talk them during an election.

We should do the same. As Obama said, "Don't you people think we aren't taking notes."

We need to shove that Federal monster up their @$$ and break it off. It's time to use the spoils system.

Then by this logic Obamatons need to bring guns to the apocryphal knife fight?

And in a sense he’s right. Refugees are more likely to kill me than any skittles.

Now,now! When was the last time you encountered an inveterate Leftist, who could think straight on a subject relevant to their compulsion driven ideology? I think the last time I encountered one was in the early 1970s.

If Wrigley executives want to get off the subject of selling their products; perhaps they could do us all a favor by coming up with some easy way to get their major product off of sidewalks, where inconsiderate customers often times spit it. (Just trying to be helpful.)

Denise Young must have flunked her high school literature class to be ignorant of the concept of an analogy: A comparison in which an idea or a thing is compared to another thing that is quite different from it. It aims at explaining that idea or thing by comparing it to something that is familiar.

Examples:

Just as a sword is the weapon of a warrior, a pen is the weapon of a writer.

The white mares of the moon rush along the sky
Beating their golden hoofs upon the glass Heavens.

Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.

I think that any analogy he would have come up with would have resulted in the same outrage.

If he had talked about peanuts, the mainstream media would have accused him of insulting Jimmy Carter.

I rarely chew gum. It makes me ravenously hungry. But if I ever do, it won’t be Wrigley’s. Their money has destroyed their common sense. The critters Obunga’s dumping into our Country are not refugees. They’re alien invaders.

You can’t say that because it’s racist!

I went to school with Denice’s brother Denephew!
He wasn’t too bright either.

Clearly, Trump should have said jelly beans.

“There was absolutely no need to do anything but ignore this - it’s an all-downside move.”

Yes.

My thoughts exactly.

Exactly! Wrigley should just let this pass. Skittles is a great American Brand. DT Jr. certainly meant no ill will towards the candy. Maybe would be better to use generic gumballs or jelly beans but too late.

Absolutely. They were probably taking heat from big mouth liberals and got scared. Scared into the wrong move.
