I’ve come to the conclusion that boycotting of commercial goods is economic terrorism. A tool of the left and we shouldn’t stoop to their level.

Say what?

Feel free to support them. But I would rather use that money to light my husband’s cigar than send it to that ingrate who folded like a cheap, liberal, polyester suit when confronted by a bunch of crybabies because some female who spreads her legs wants ME to pay for her to do it.

In a way, I like the fact that a liberal tool like Carbonite has to spend big bucks from Leftist patrons to stay relevant even if they are buying time on conservative media outlets.

Makes the rich Reds like Soros spend money that could be used more effectively elsewhere.
So I agree with your point in spirit in that the free market is an unbiased threshing floor where the valued and worthless are sorted out naturally.
But if I am presented with the opportunity to purchase one of two products, say automobiles, of equal or near equal value—one an Obama Motors Chevrolet or Chrysler and the other a Ford...

...am I allowed to use patriotic pride as a determining factor? Or would that be considered a boycott?

Lemme guess.

You’re...ahem...concerned that we’ll “look bad”.

Horse pucky. It's always been an effective non-violent means of expression that's a valuable tool the in absence of a truly unbiased media and a communist white house and occupied office.

Would you truly seek to deprive us of any effective means to fight this?

I am all for boycotting and buycotting. If you don't approve of the message a company promotes, don't buy from them, and if you approve, then support them.

Carbonite jumped the shark. They are advertising heavy on TV now, but when their are free options that are better than them, the goofed in alienating an intelligent and dedicated group.

Pass the word around that CrashPlan.com is better than Carbonite, and it has an extremely good free plan where you back up to a friend or neighbors computer. Promote Crashplan and get all your friends and family to drop Carbonite. Carbonite uses your money to support liberal causes, so why pay them?

We appreciate you sticking around and answering us. Generally, Newbie trolls simply post something inflammatory and then leave.

As to the subject - no. There is NO WAY that we can win by staying “above the fray”. That is the strategy that John McCain tried to use in 2008. It simply DOES NOT work. We must meet them at their level. As far as I’m concerned if they want to jail people 5 years for being conservative, we should jail them for 10 years for being liberal - instead of shaking their hands and wishing them better luck next time.

rational and moral if the owner of the commercial goods is committing evil acts.

Carbonite is dead ... to me ... for the rest of my life.

As well as any other product or service David Friend and Andrew Keenan come up with.

Really? Economic terrorism? How about free choice by a free republic? You can stick with your astroturf. I'll speak with choice.

Nonsense. Another supplier is always waiting in the wings.
