You won’t even read it? Really?
So, you probably use Microsoft, and possibly Verizon just to name two, and those two have given and are giving over 10 times the money the NFL has even said it was pledging to give, and you don’t think my post is important enough to read?
Sure, it is cut and paste, but it is my research (in my effort to be a consistent conservative) not the work of someone else.
I thought Freepers appreciated actual research of facts?
Yes, I really won't. My favorite guitar blogger has posted a new lesson I want to view. That is a higher priority for me given the time I have left this evening. Sorry.
Well I read the whole thing and I appreciate your post. You make some very good points. And you make some uncomfortable points. At least, for me.
As you know, I'm boycotting the NFL. I've been a lifelong NFL fan, but the kneeling during the anthem, and now the financial support for Marxist causes, has proven too much for me. I can't sit in front of a TV and actively root for a sports team in a league that figuratively spits on America. Just can't.
But what do I do about Microsoft? As you point out, they financially promote an agenda that is far more pernicious (and far richer) than the measly NFL. It's a real dilemma for a conservative in today's America. Nearly all our tech options are produced by companies that oppose my values. What do I do? Do I go Galt, and eschew technology?
That was a rhetorical, of course. I don't know what the answer is regarding Microsoft or Verizon, for example. I use both. After reading your post enumerating all the Marxist causes they support, it's rather infuriating. I'll be honest, I don't know what the answer is here. Do you know of any options? I was able to boycott Amazon (huge financial supporter of homosexual marriage) because there are other options, so I'm thrilled to do so. Same with me he NFL. There are other options. But where I live, I can only get Verizon. And I use Microsoft software. So Houston, we have a problem...
Anyway, thanks for the thought-provoking post!
The ones with integrity do. Those are the ones that can admit they were wrong when confronted with those facts. It used to be mostly that way around here, but now, not so much. We have plenty of our own snowflakes these days - they just melt for different reasons.
