The left (which includes most of MSM) has never gotten over how they played a pivotal role in brining down the Nixon administration as well as "forcing" us out of Vietnam.
They continue to think the can operate with impunity and immunity.
I venture to say that if we had had Rush, Fox News, the Internet (and especially Freepers) the outcome of our involvement in Nam would have been different.
We probably would have pulled out anyway, but we may have been able to save hundreds of thousand of lives in the South as well as millions in Cambodia. Thank you Kerry, Fonda, et al.
I can't believe any Freepers actually buy (much less read) Newsweek, BUT, that rag (and others) HAVE SPONSORS.
What say you, we start doing a little due diligence and see how many we can identify and start putting pressure on them by threatening a boycott of their products if they don't withdraw support and advertising in Newsweek--for starters?
Let me know and I'll do my share.
In fact, this is something I've been toying with for some time.
You know that ol saying: "Money talks and . . . . .walks!"
Remember the boycotts of those states that wouldn't jump on the Martin Luther King National Holiday bandwagon?
Well, I was thinking along those same lines for those states of (at least cities or towns within) who provide sanctuary for illegal aliens; financial institutions which are providing mortgages to illegal aliens; those banks that not only accept the Matricula Consular ID cards, but actually facilitate their being issued, such as North Shore Bank, in Wisconsin:

I also read (but have not had time to verify) whereby Bank of America was doing the same thing---sponsoring these types of “events.”
As an aside, while Mexico pushes for the consular ID card’s acceptance in the U.S., no major bank in Mexico lists the card among the identification documents they accept to open an account, and only ten of Mexico’s 32 states and districts recognize the card for identification purposes.
The U.S. Constitution does not permit a local or state government to decide, based on the advice or desires of a foreign government, that its own concerns override the will and intent of Congress.
In choosing to recognize the consular ID card, local governments are raising significant legal issues by exercising a form of their own foreign policy, which the Constitution reserves for the federal government under the Constitution, and are in direct conflict with federal law.
Here is a starter anyway as to some Banks that accept the MC card although I imagine that there are many more, not listed herein.

Now here is an interesting little tidbit I just ran across and somehow managed to fly completely under the radar screen.
I don’t know if you were aware of this; I certainly was not. Of course, with all that was going on last year (and my total and complete focus on exposing The Snake—a.k.a. Kerry—and working toward his defeat) it is not surprising that I missed this.
Rep. John Culberson (R-TX), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, was the chief sponsor of an amendment to the Transportation/Treasury Appropriations bill, H.R. 5025, that would essentially have prohibited the use of Mexican matricula consular ID cards for banking services in the U.S.
Now, here’s the kicker:
During full House consideration of H.R. 5025, Rep. Michael Oxley (R-OH) introduced an amendment to H.R. 5025 to strip the Culberson secure-ID amendment. The Oxley Amendment passed by a vote of 222-177, successfully stripping the Culberson Amendment from the Treasury-Transportation Appropriations bill.
Another POS RINO? Wonder how much and from where his campaign contributions came from
Anyway, you can probably see where I’m headed with this.
There probably could/should be at least two lists; one for the supporters/enablers on the war on terror—another for illegal aliens, although some (like Newsweek and others MSM outlets) would probably qualify under both categories, seeing how they are supporters and enablers of terrorists, illegal aliens and are bound and determined to undermine our country.
Wonder if this site would consider giving us a couple of threads (is that what their called?) dedicated to these two items in which all go visit and peruse as to who is being boycotted and for what reasons as well as making suggestions for adding other candidates?
Hell, I’m for boycotting countries as well. Though my Mom and Dad (and all of both their families) are from Montreal and other parts of Quebec; and though I still have relatives there; and though I used to love to visit Canada (only 50 miles from border) I not only No longer do that (and will never step foot in Canada again) but have renounced my heritage and ancestry and no longer publicize this to anyone in a “proud” manner, like I used to.
Likewise, I will NEVER step foot in Mexico again as well as some other places, such as Pain-ellas Park, Florida.
I’m certainly glad that Las Vegas and New Orleans (so far) don’t seem to qualify. LOL
If you like this idea (in part or in total) let me know and we can enlist the help of some others and see what happens?
