Remember the conservative members and that includes Chief Justice Roberts disagreed with the liberal Justices? So Why picket SCOTUS? Any of the other 3 is a good suggestion though

I won’t go to Starbucks because it’s not fun to be snarled at for saying “medium” instead of using the Italian word for twenty (venti-20 ounces-ooohhh-so-cute)

All I know is, before these companies took a stand, I used to drink only Starbucks coffee and I rarely went to Chick-fil-A any more.

Now, I stop in to Chick-fil-A as much as I used to while at UNC, when they were my favorite fast food on campus.

But, I do NOT go to or buy Starbucks any more, even on long haul road trips.

I've found that McD's coffee is usually pretty good and they're everywhere. MUCH cheaper, too.

Looks to me like things have worked out just fine and I am at peace. Thanks for the lesson!

My reaction to a CFA opening is “ hurray, I'm there as soon as the large crowds taper off.” My reaction to a Starbucks opening is “yawn.”

Since moving to FL, We’ve been hanging out at the CFA in Brooksville. They do their part in “giving back” to the community by holding charity cruise nights the first Tuesday of every month. And their peach thickshakes are delicious.

I went to Starbucks once years ago. Never understood why people would pay so much money for one cup of coffee when, at that time, I could buy a pound of Folgers or Dunkin’ Donuts for less than they charged for one cup. It was a matter of pure economics in our family long before it became an issue of boycotting because of their supporting gay marriage and not supporting the 2nd Amendment.

CFA is, however, another story, particularly since it’s peach shake season.

Let America's sodomites revel in their celebrations ...

and let their "christian" and "liberal" and "libertarian" enablers revel with the sodomites as well.


America's judgement is coming ... imagine a "nation-wide-katrina" catastrophe, and you get the idea.

I lived in New Oleans for twenty years, leaving fifteen years before katrina desvastated the city.

New Orleans (circa 1970-1990) was EXACTLY what America is today ... the most wicked obscenities "smiled and winked-at" by a large percentage of citizens ...

and the few voices who declare that "this abhorrent evil must end" are pilloried and crucified in the public forums ...

and even in the so-called "christian" churches there are limp-wristed calls for "accomodation" and "compromise" with the sodomites.



Even in St. Petersburg Florida, whose mayor is a declared pro-life christian ... he SHAMEFULLY issues a "letter of invitation" to the vile sodomites that will parade today down the city's streets, flaunting their evil and depavity ...

and their bloody hatred against all things "Christian".



Meanwhile, I calmly look at my wristwatch to check the time, knowing that at some future moment, the vile and putrid "Gay-Sodomite Pride" and "Pro-Choice Child Murderer Rights" celebrations ...

broadcast on every American television screen by the "Sodomite-Gestapo News and Propaganda Ministry" ...

and celebrated by the evil Executive Management of American corporations like Home Depot and J.C. Penny ...

will someday be sharply contrasted with the sudden and violent and deadly destruction of these same "American Sodomites" and their foolish and vile supporters in America's so-called "christian churches".



And just to prove the point ... just as EVERYONE instinctively KNOWS that katrina was the "Righteous Judgement of The Almighty" against the Mississippi River's version of Sodom and Gomorrah ...

and that NO MAN's fingerprints were on the divine judgement against the putrid and vile "Crescent City" ...

only the divine fingerprints of The LORD whose mercy and patience had been exhausted over decades and decades by the New Orleans sodomites ...



Someday ... the horror of horrors ...to be repeated against the United States of America ?

the "once and lost" God-Honoring Land of the Free, Home of the Brave ...

to be transformed into a morally and financially corrupt cesspool, it's once free and proud citizens SUBJUGATED under the bloody hands of FOREIGN INVADERS (illegal immigrants) ...

a once mighty and proud and God-Honoring military sadly defeated in battle ...

and the Four-Daily calls to honor the "Child-Rapist Mohammed" be issued from their once proud and majestic church steeples ?



Who will rise to be the American "Charles Martel the Hammer" against the godless sodomites, illegal invaders, and islamic terrorists being brought by the Federal Government every year to live on America's shores ?

I worked in Nashville at the Music City Sheraton Hotel in the early 90s when Starbucks was introduced. They gave us some to try and put it in the guests room. I like my coffee strong, but not that strong.

Hey I have been boycotting as in refusing to buy anything from from GE and Tyson Foods for years. The reason I refuse to buy anything from GE is because they do business with Iran who kill our troops, and the reason I refuse to buy any Tyson Food products is that they are a billion $ business and get government money which they don't need.

Boycotting doesn't necessary mean to stand in front of a business and make a bunch of noice

The article does not mention Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz going further and stating that he prefers that those supporting traditional families and other “non-progressive values” not even set foot in a Starbucks. What Dan Cathy said was merely stating an opinion. What Schultz did was very publicly - at a shareholders meeting - insult part of his customer base. Well, how is that going to work out for you, Mr. Schultz?

" taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee's DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment," joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and associate justices Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito."

Tastes like a cigar that’s been sitting in hot water for 3 days.

I will not spend a dime in Starbucks but I also won't block the entry to its doors or put pressure on elected officials to bar them from opening new stores in my town.

Now, that's the proper attitude, IMO. Well-said.
