Disclaimer first: I am all for your idea and it would be great if it would actually do the good that you propose.

However, many conservatives are feeding the beast daily, even as they give to their favorite cause. Spending $75.00 to join the NRA or attending a few feel good meetings of the local tea party seems to be all it takes to make many folks feel they are already doing their part.

But they are singing to the choir.

Creating an alliance without practicing the required discipline, (especially within the marketplace where it will HURT liberals) is simply another lost cause.

I love Starbucks Coffee, but I won't feed the beasts that own it because their profit supports liberal ideals. But plenty of people see no harm in their $5.00 a day fix. What if no conservative bought at Starbucks?

I believe Starkist has the best tuna, but I won't feed the pelosi beast by buying it. What if no conservative bought Starkist?

Back in the “day without a Mexican”, my favorite Mexican Restaurant closed in support of illegal immigration. I have not eaten there since. Actually, a lot of my fellow conservatives have done the same and their business is not what it was, though still surviving.

I loved Disneyland, but I'll never set foot on another Disney property, What if no conservatives fed the Disney beast?

If we all did WITHOUT once in awhile, we could put a dent in the funding they need to promote liberalism.

The items I mention are not the only products I do without by a longshot, but I can honestly say I am doing my part wherever I have the choice. I know, we can't possibly break Starbucks, Disney or Starkist, which is a perfectly good excuse not to try.

Sorry for sounding so beyotchey this morning, but I had to get it said.

Sending a child into the nation's socialist K-12 schools is definitely feeding the beast.

Also, I pray for the day when there will be free, 24-hour, Internet-based, conservative TV with the same polish as the Marxist mainstream media and Fox News.
