Why is there a picture of Walmart bags?
Walmart isn’t on the list.
I’ve never understood why this works so well for the racist Socialist scum that are the Democrats and not for everyone else.
Add Little Caesar’s pizza to the list (kenyan fundraiser). We really do need a list, and we need to take the time to tell the CEOs why we will no longer conduct business with their company.
This “vote with your wallet” strategy should expand to include pro-aborts, pro-homo, pro-illegal, and any other left-wing cause. If companies want to make a political statement, they need to accept the consequences.
Starve Leviathan!
I’d love to see how many of the same people attend the Ilitch fundraiser as attended Romney events in Detroit.
“Ive never understood why this works so well for the racist Socialist scum that are the Democrats and not for everyone else.”
I speculate that it’s the same reason we lost the public school system to leftists. Conservatives are individualists and self reliant. Liberals are more likely to follow group think.
In the case of the schools, conservatives found alternatives, such as parochial schools, and home schooling. The left moved into the schools, and turned the public schools into proper indoctrination facilities.
In the case of boycotts, I think conservatives see them as pop culture, and somewhat lacking. So, we tend to do our own thing. Liberals tend to be like lemmings, and they love to follow.
That’s my guess.
“McDonald’s told liberal magazine....”
Has McDonald’s started a program to monitor and stop their employees from spitting into their customers’ food yet?
I read today that McDonalds has severed all ties with American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), an association of legislators who support free markets ideals. This action on the part of McDonalds took place because of pressure brought to bear by the Socialist/Racist group ColorOfChange run by disgraced former White House czar and admitted Communist Van Jones.
McDonalds now aligns itself with Communists! Obviously you have eschewed Capitalism and all the filthy money inherent in that system.
Therefore, I will not spend any of my oppressive, filthy money at McDonalds restaurants for the rest of my days. I've taken my family to McDonalds in the past, but never again. I don't do business with appeasers of Communism. DO NOT CONTACT ME BY MAIL, EMAIL OR PHONE.
I agree with Malkin. It’s high time for conservatives to establish an organization (a VERY LARGE and influential organization) to start lobbying directly and warning corporations that if they succumb to leftist inspired boycotts, that the organization will start a national campaign to inform citizens and urge the boycotts of products and services if they cow tow to these leftist fascists. Our strategy should be ‘eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ and ‘fight fire with fire’.
Great email. You should have mentioned (and I will to mine) that you will also begin to contact others, as well as membership associations that you belong to, in order that they also begin to boycott McDonalds for the same reasons just outlined.
ALEC was a trade group created to head off liberal efforts to impose soda and “fat” taxes. Congratulations, you just shot yourselves in the foot, Mickey D’s.
(was going to stop going there anyway because of these new commercials with the little bearded guy...he really creeps me out)
I dropped Costco when they got in bed with Al Gore. I do admit I’ve bought an iPhone. I use Bing vs. Google and don’t frquent Walgreens, McD and don’t drink anything that sports an 0bama logo on it. And I’ll never buy a GM car. Or J. Crew. Or Comcast. I vote with my wallet whenever I can.
I have a list, not written, that I boycott for my own personal reasons, like Wendy's for trying to kill my family by poison, Casey's General Store for raising the price of gasoline on 9/11 to $6 per gallon, Best Buy for selling me a used computer as new. There are more on my personal list but I do not try to get other people to join my boycott. Maybe you like some or all of the places I listed. That's your business.
How did Wendy’s try to poison you?
“Has McDonalds started a program to monitor and stop their employees from spitting into their customers food yet?”
About a week ago, my wife stopped at Long John Silver’s and ordered “take out” food, she said the white employees at the registers and the black employees cooking the food were engaged in a heated argument.
I told her that was the time I would have asked for my money back or else walk out and take the loss. The blacks see a white customer and are preparing her order when they are especially pissed at whites? No way would I eat that food.
Communists/socialists are my “enemies, domestic or foreign...” by my sworn oath to protect the U.S. Constitution.
Same way with allowing these people pervert these words/phrases:
Pro-Choice is pro-death of innocent life
Gays/lesbians are homosexuals
etc, etc.
I do go Walgreen, because they have items I don't get anywhere else. I do not drink Coke, Pepsi etc period. Just water, coffee or green tee
What you are suggesting is called “Consumerism”, and it was quite the bees knees with Liberals at one time.
Not sure what changed their mind. Either they got pissed at Ralph Nader for taking out AlGore, or it dawned on them that it was more fun to actually roll these companies for cash.
I hope I can persuade you see to see this differently because your statement implies that if conservatives took back the government socialist-entitlement schools that somehow they would be fixed.
Modern “public” schools have never been lost. Since their beginnings ( mid-1800s to early 1900s) government socialist-entitlement schooling was a pushed by Progressives of the time. Progressives have always controlled teacher training and curriculum development. The very foundation of compulsory attendance, compulsory-use, and socialist-entitlement schooling **is** Progressive.
While socialist-entitlement government schooling may not have seemed so bad at first was due to the values of the teachers. For instance, my father ( born 1913) lived with and dearly loved his Civil War veteran great grandfather. The teachers were still close enough to our pioneer and founding roots that it masked the evil of the socialism at the root of all government schooling.
We will see the same with Obamacare. At first it won't be so bad due to the values of the health professionals and administrators trained under the old system. In a generation or two, that is when we will see the true horror of socialist-entitlement health care.
Solution: Begin the process of completely privatizing universal K-12 education.
Solution: There are entire states and whole counties in this nation where, if conservatives immediately removed their kids, the government socialist-entitlement schools would utterly collapse.
