I have been saying that we (Conservatives [Christian & Atheists]) really need to pull away from the 'Blue State Centric' businesses in total.

For example, why by insurance from a company in the North East, when that company is providing a livelyhood to people that give us politicians like Chuck Schumer? USAA (just an example) is based largely in Louisiana I believe. It costs you very little to switch you Home, Auto, Life, etc insurance to a company with Southern roots.

The same with entertainment. With technology, we now have the potential to have a boycott like MLK did with bussing in the South - only on a larger scale.

I hope the Chik-Fil-A fiasco and this A&E fiasco shows there is a potential to start an economic boycott of everything 'Blue State'. I probably don't have the smarts to do it myself, but kindling has been stacked - someone just needs to light the match and lead the way.

(my two cents)

I'm glad you mentioned Chik-Fil-A. Before the "gay boycott" or whatever the homo's were doing, I'd never heard of Chik-Fil-A. One opened up near me a few months before that whole fiasco and I never bothered to try it.

On "Chik-Fil-A Day" I went to support them and tried their food for the first time. Been a loyal customer once a month since.

I make it a POINT to support them. So I like your idea.

USAA is largely based in San Antonio.

I’ve been with them since I was 16 (under my dad’s policy then).

The problems are not regional. There are fags and liberals in every state and there are conservative Christians in every state. The difference between states is in the ratio. This is not like 1861. To think the fight for conservatism is a fight between states is simplistic, ignorant and indicates intellectual laziness.

USAA is Homed in San Antonio. That place is huge. The SAPD even block off one lane of the I-10 Service road at shift change for the employees getting out to have a safe merge into traffic during morning/afternoon rush hour.

The spot marked "A" is just the Bank building, the rest is the Insurance Offices & Corporate Digs

Map

Property lines at: I-10 Service Rd. , Fredericksburg Rd. , Bluemel Rd & Hubner Rd.
