Just wondering, guys, why this hasn't gained the traction that Chick-Fil-A and Duck Dynasty debacle gained.

And please, I don't mean to turn this into a politician bashfest...we all know some turn to squish when the heat is on but hey--if, perhaps, we were a little bit louder, they might grow stronger spines.

God bless.

Well, Duck Dynasty is a TV Show and Chick-fil-A is a news story ... we’ve all got our own lives to tend to ... :-) ...

NO, REALLY ... that’s just the way it is nowadays!

I think our generation of conservatives and /or christians (those 40 and over) are just not used to having to explain , defend and define everything we do at our place of work. The older you get, the less accustomed we are to engaging in these rhetorical street fights that seem to be happening everywhere.

The internet has helped many of us become aware of this curious ‘sport-hating’ or ganging up that’s going on now. Even ten years ago, if someone said, ‘Oh, the Governor better not pass that bill, because Nestles, Johnson and Johnson plus H&RBlock say they won’t do business in that state, I would have been shocked.
We are still coming to terms with just how serious, how caustic this trend has become.

Chic-fil-a, and Duck Dynasty “activism” involved eating a delicious, deep fried, white meat, chicken sandwich, and watching a funny TV show. Gotta anything like that?

What get’s under my skin is all of the above happened because they picked a fight.

Because it was easier to buy a sandwich and tune in?

Because there is no money in it. That’s the REAL world we live in. It’s neither Right no Left ... it is green.

As long as they all stand up and go to the voting polls in 2016 to vote us out of this liberal hell hole Obama has dug.

Nobody has suggested a simple, direct action that the public can take to do something about this issue.

With Duck Dynasty, we could call the cable companies, the network, cancel subscriptions, etc. With Chick-Fil-A, we could go out and get dinner there. Anyone could do those things and support the cause without a huge investment of time and money.

So, if we want a similar groundswell, we need to point the masses in a direction and say “do this thing that you can accomplish”. Then I think you’ll see what you are looking for.

Where are the Duck Dynasty and Chick-Fil-A people?

They are effectively being replaced and ZERO-ed out by illegals.

We tried. We failed. But we better DAMN well be ready right after the failure so we can take back the country and throw out the garbage. In other words, bide our time and wait and gamble we can restore something.

Chick-Fil-A management took a stand and the people backed them up. This time, the ‘Republican’ figureheads are COWERING at the slightest hint of incoming. It would help if the Republican LEADERS would show some GUTS.

While the Duck Dynasty thing hit, the first two actual states had their marriage amendments overturned by federal judges. Guess which story got all the press. I though A&E might actually start suspending him every year. All the merch sold out right before Christmas and the show opened to record ratings right after.

FWIW, I’m all for corporations doing what they do best...e.g. make popular fast food and popular duck calls. When they become *political* I am less likely to enjoy their services.

Farmers need to boycott selling food to cities like San Fransisco, oil producers cut off their oil supplies.

The free market is, that you can sell your product to whom ever you want to, or not sell your product to whom ever you want to.

This manufactured crises fundememtally has nothing to do with selling products though, it’s the gay mafa’s way of forcing their ungodly perverted life style on all of us a d one day have dominion over us.

It's long past time to include them. Its time to reinstate the death penalty.
