"This is the first company I've ever heard of establishing a policy of not doing business with the federal government. I find it hard to understand," she said.

I know of one other large business who refused all gooberment contracts,and even told the feds to get the hell out of his place of business. This is a large sporting goods wholesaler that was offered a gooberment contract to supply small specialized orders to special operations units. Since he was a vet himself,he was more than happy to talk to them about this,so he invited them down. Things started to go down hill rapidly when they started asking questions like "how many blacks do you have in supervisory positinos? Women? Homosexuals?",and went ALL to hell when they told him he would have to have the requisite number before they could do business with him. He told them he didn't believe in ANY of that crap,and they needed to get the hell out of his store before he had them arrested for tresspassing.

It's odd that Home Depot would take a similiar stance,though. The owner is a dedicated Dim who donates a percentage of his profits each year to gun control.

If you're refering to one of the original founders, he's retired and isn't involved with day to day operations anymore. As someone else mentioned, the owners are a lot of Americans, including the employees.
