Bad business practices don’t seem to hurt high level executives. Even when they run a business into the ground some of then get multi-million dollar bonuses.

The C-Level types, along with their Board of Directors and high level Exec's *never* take the hit when bad decisions are made and the consequences are felt. They always have their exit clauses in their contracts which give them big buyouts if their contract is terminated early.

Those getting hurt by the Target boycott are the front line employees and Target's suppliers.

While I personally don't frequent Target at all, it appears to me that the wrong folks may be getting hurt in all this.

Sure, the message has to be sent that we will no longer celebrate diperversity and reward boneheaded policies that permit perverts to share the same bathrooms as our wives, mothers and daughters in violation of THEIR privacy and dignity but we need to make sure we hit the right target (no pun intended.)

I want to know why the Left's own tactics aren't being used against Target and their CEO with a 24x7 very raucous demonstration outside his home?

Now THAT would be hitting the target!

Target has handled this poorly, but I doubt whether the “boycott” is actually having much effect on Target’s stock prices. Sears and Kmart are doing worse and they haven’t chimed in on this issue. The problem with making this claim is that when things turn around in the retail sector it will make it look like conservative groups are as ineffective as unions “boycotting” Wal-Mart.

The defense company I worked for was picketed every day for months. A bus would pull up a block away and dispense “protesters” wearing identical t-shirts and carrying professionally printed signs and a box lunch. At the end of the protest day the protesters would line up a block away waiting for the bus.

The left’s protesters are paid. They are what Nancy Pelosi called the tea partiers; AstroTurf. Real conservatives have jobs and simply don’t have the time to protest.

What you say at least this part is 100% true:
“Bad business practices don’t seem to hurt high level executives. Even when they run a business into the ground some of then get multi-million dollar bonuses.

The C-Level types, along with their Board of Directors and high level Exec’s *never* take the hit when bad decisions are made and the consequences are felt. They always have their exit clauses in their contracts which give them big buyouts if their contract is terminated early.

However I will add that the push back also needs to come from within. I speak from first hand experience and I am one who speaks his opinion and Truth (to power...) but too many are enslaved to this world(their jobs and a false sense of security) to push back. Sad State we are in!

It is time to Stand with God on and in All functions of Life for No Stance is a Stance to allow Evil to Thrive! It is a choice against God to do Nothing and you will have to answer for this when asked, What did you do in my Name?

God Bless
