Not at all..what I don’t understand is how a handful of people who decide to boycott one person or another business, think that their boycott will send a message or have some sort of impact....I don’t listen or watch people based on their political leaning...if I were to take on that practice, life would be pretty damn boring.

I don't think you understand how a boycott works. If all conservatives, for example, were to decide that no money of theirs will go to a left-winger, then we'd have millions of people refusing to spend money on left-wing musicians, actors, movies, or businesses, and that would definitely hurt and hurt bad. Take the case of the Dixie Chicks, for example. Their livelihood took a huge beating when they spouted off about Bush because millions acted in concert to boycott them. In fact, the only reasons that suggested boycotts don't always work is precisely because of wishy-washy, passionless people such as yourself who can't be bothered to care enough about anything to stand on any kind of principle. With the Dixie Chicks, the target market was a fairly conservative, spirited group and so the boycott worked. With other lefties, such as Hollywood movie types, the target market is much broader, and includes liberals as well as unprincipled fence-sitters who claim to be conservative but actually don't give a damn as long as the idiot boob tube keeps spewing out the desired amount of brain-numbing trash. Such people keep the money spigots flowing, and thus attempts to boycott are not nearly as effective. However, you'll notice that Hollywood constantly laments their declining income stream these days, and blames it on pirating, without accepting that it may be because they are spitting on a good portion of the country with their constant anti-American trash.

So please, keep enjoying whatever circuses that you like. Don't let our little battle for the heart and soul of this country distract you from your quality time with the lefty zombie box. In fact, if you log off right now, you might be able to catch the latest episode of American Idol.

Ditto’s my FRiend!

I could not have said it better myself, I just wish more had the passion you show for the way I felt when I wrote the article. Sorry Neets, but you are way off the mark on this.

I actually made my wife a bit angry with me when I told her i was finished with both brad and Tim, she is in love with their music. Thus contention brewed in the home when I mentioned my intention for speaking my peace and telling her I will not buy her any presents that include their names.
