The Government picked a side for him.

I suspect he will get more business now...
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Don’t get me wrong etc...

HE would definitely get MY business and, as a matter of fact, if he had a PRO BO sign, I would go to the next town or call someone in before I spent a dime in his establishment.

So in the BO mode I would ‘thank’ him for showing me where some of his profits might end up, so I could pass.

Absolutely right. A concrete example of the abstract principle at the heart of their ethics. Force and coercion. I’ll tell you what though. I believe in dealing with force by force and she deserved to be slapped back twice as hard, woman or no.

That said, I don’t feel that it is good for ANY business to pick a side when it comes to politics or religion etc since you stand the chance of alienating about half of your business.

While I agree with you in principle about alienating half your business, I agree with "Kevin the geek" on this one. Not only has he re-established himself after Katrina, I would be willing to bet that he has never (in either location) reached out for assistance from Uncles Dubya or Barry in doing so.

Had his sign said "Thank you, Lord Obama, for giving me the government backing to become rich", the crickets from the press on the issue would be deafening.

“...the nut bars will be in the streets.”

Targets of opportunity. Their misfortune, if rioting and looting.

Had his sign said “Thank you, Lord Obama, for giving me the government backing to become rich”,

Persactly.

MY point is alienating half the customers. (see my #25)

The gentleman can put up any sign he is willing to bear the weight of, legally or idiotically.

If he would have the sign cited above, I would exercise MY right to NOT patronize him. Period.

I wouldn’t go in and assault him physically, mentally or in any manner. If he were to be standing there I may tell him “No way I am shopping here”.

I was just in a ‘new to me’ dry cleaner and dropped a couple of things off. There was a calendar on the wall - back behind the counter - with Moochelle’s picture. I ahemmed and rolled my eyes and when I caught his attention (Chinese gentleman) I said get to see enough of them without having it here. He looked at it and shrugged, took a closer look and said “You right”...
I am going to say that was random as he started talking to another counter person and I think the calendar came down.
I will know Mon when I pick my stuff up and if it is still there, that will be the end of my business with the store.

Again, his choice for picture or advertisement, my choice to spend my money in his establishment or not.
