The Barnes and Noble I go to in Lynchburg Va. is a little different from what most of you describe. It is situated less than 300 yards from the Liberty University campus, and economics being what they are, stocks and sells a lot of conservative books.

As to the comparison between the prominence as relates to display, lib vs conservative, it looks to me like lib books get ordered in greater quantities, occupy better locations, and still don't sell. The clerks seem to be a bit ON EDGE all the time, quite possibly they feel infested, as Liberty students and professors are a big part of their clientele, and I don't think they can afford to alienate them. The displaying of lib books more prominently I see as an attempt to indoctrinate, and it's not working.

I have purchased a LOT of conservative books there, The American Spectator, etc., and I have never gotten a comment one way or the other. I have seen lib books purchased which elicited an endorsement very silently from the clerks, on more than one occasion. It's really funny, my guess would be 90% of the employees are libs and 80% of the customers are conservatives, it's fun for me to go in there and watch libs find one more reason to hate capitalism.

Its very sad that "fair minded" liberals resort to Censorship of ideas that differ than their own.

I would say boycott the establishments.. but then there would practically be no book stores that we can shop in

Let's see if the link works. I get most of the liberals books I just have to read here. Great for other books, too.
