So, when are we going to call for boycotts of Ford, Microsoft, Apple, et al, because they give far, FAR more money and legitimacy to liberal causes that are far more damaging to this country than some dipstick black power wannabe like Kapernick. And certainly more money than the NFL.

Just curious. We want to be consistent, right?

So, are Ford and Microsoft the next? All conservatives should not use Ford and Microsoft products, right?

No, I am not concerned with being consistent.

We’ll get to other problems as we see fit.

PS: This super Bowl is being held 1.5 miles from my house. I make a personal plea to boycott this event, so my kids can get to school.

Why don’t you just kneel for the National Anthem, then!

Another battle for another day. But you raise an excellent point. Ford, apple et al give money to liberal causes but do NOT give money to conservative/traditional causes. Why do you think that is? Could it be because they know they will face a well organized boycott if they do?

Here’s the problem with boycotts of anything these days.

- We supported Ford because they didn’t take Obama’s bailout. Now we have to boycott them because of the Ford Foundation?

- We bought Microsoft Xboxes because they were an American company versus the PS2, PS3 and PS4. Now we have to boycott them because “reason”?

- We have to boycott the NFL because they don’t crack down on wife beaters, flag burners (Exaggerating here, okay?), are mixed on their treatment of murderers, drug abusers, steroids, concussions and social issues but.... we all love football, our team(s) are fine it’s the league, player X is one of the good guys.

I mean it’s easy to boycott or dislike a person and even some truly bone headed stupid corporations (Target, I’m looking in your general direction.) but with all that is going on in this country I can’t track of why I’m supposed to hate, love, ignore, buy or cherish based on message board sentiment or political “sides”.

So, if you can let us know.... let us know.

Correct. Drive Toyota and use Apple
