About a year ago I quit using Google after finding out that almost ALL of its management are huge donaters to the democrat party. I find Bing is just as good and in some cases better than Google.
In 1977, my family was staying in a motel in Bowling Green, Kentucky. We made a trip to Nashville and on the way back we stopped somewhere in Tennessee at a Wendy's. There was me, my wife and our two sons, ages 4 & 3. My older son, who by the way, had a voracious appetite usually, was not hungry, we couldn't get him to eat anything at all.
My wife, me and my younger son all ate, that night we spent the night at the hospital in Bowling Green, getting re hydrated with I.V.s, from all the vomiting and diarrhea we were experiencing. My older son, who had refused to eat at Wendy's that day was just fine.
Fortunately for us, my wife's brother lived there at the time and he took care of the older son while the rest of us were in the hospital.
No, we didn't sue anybody but the evidence was pretty clear to me. We haven't eaten from Wendy's since that happened. Of course that kind of thing could happen anywhere but for us it was Wendy's.
I'm not trying to persuade anybody else to boycott Wendy's, if you want to eat there, have at it.
I wondered the same thing. Definitely sends the wrong message.
That’s disappointing. I’ve been using Intuit’s Quickbooks and Proseries in my accounting firm for a very long time. I think I’ll be calling them after tax season is over, and I have the time to do it.
“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.”
You raise good points.
If conservatives became involved in public schools, they’d be better, but not fixed. While the same commies that teach now, would still teach, they’d be more supervised with conservatives involved. Teachers tend to be weak, followers. It’s a generalization, about teachers being weak, but I stand by it. Teachers, in general, can be molded and led. So, while teachers may favor socialism, and communism, they will bend to the will of a strong school board.
But that only mitigates the problems, it doesn’t fix them.
An educated populace is critical to our mutual success. Privatize with vouchers? It would help, but there will be “progressive” schools even with privatization.
There is no perfect solution. However, if we all pay attention to what is going on in the schools, it will be better than what we have now... indoctrination facilities.
“I’ve never understood why this works so well for the racist Socialist scum that are the Democrats and not for everyone else.”
Perhaps it is because they are left with more spending money. Thanks to inflation our tiny SS check buys less each month. Still, we choose who gets a part of it. We shop local owned businesses as much as possible. Used/2nd hand items are about all we buy electively.
Go Newt!
Don’t forget Progressive Insurance, and all of hollyweird.....
That’s probably a very good guess. Put another way, Conservatives keep retreating away from institutions the Leftists take over. And it may simply be, as in my families case, there isn’t much for us to boycott because we’re not big consumers. No one in my family drinks Coca Cola; we don’t have smart phones, Apple products, etc. We read paper books.
Another way to say this I guess is; we’re old, we’re out of date and we’re isolated (and largely pretty happy!).
Your story may have more to do with Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Stayed there once with the family and all of us came down with raging food poisoning from a Bob Evans. Later was told by an in-law stationed at Ft. Knox that everyone in the military knew that the restaurants in Bowling Green had a reputation for spreading nasty bugs.
Personally I gave up on The Colonel back in the 70’s after getting food poisoning twice in one summer, from KFC stores in two different states.
The Wendy’s where we ate was in Tennessee, on the way back to Bowling Green. We spent the night in a hospital in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
I love the photos they use for background. Just a much more pleasant site...and like you said, not putting money into those who would throw it 0bama gives me a small sense of satisfaction.
I haven’t had Wendy’s since 1980 when I was a young kid. We were coming home from a baseball tournament when my friend’s mother brought us to Wendy’s to eat. All of our burgers were filled with these hard nerve like things that were over an inch long. It was so gross we all threw our food away and left. I’m always reminded of that day when I drive by a Wendy’s.
I like Doctor Pepper.
