This is America. They can hold whatever point of view they please. You can boycott them if you like. It is not wrong of them to speak their mind any more than it is for you to speak yours. They're rich and famous and you're not.

Would you also boycott any company that uses lobbyists to sway Congressional opinion? It's the same damn thing.

That's true! And it's my right to not spend my hard-earned money becuase of their political beliefs. Yes, I will boycott Matrix2 at the theatre. I stick to my guns!

If the company spewed the hate and divisiveness these celebrities do, yes I would boycott them...just as I'm boycotting Chrysler. I don't believe any of us are advocating any form censorship...we just take offense at their methods and, hell, we might even respect their opinions if they were consistent and not presented with such venom. When a conservative disagrees, for the most part, there's still a level of respect shown and the disagreement is presented by less volative means. Sure, you can find exceptions. Gingrich came on a bit strong in 1994 for example, but I'm talking about "philosophy" differences about how to disagree.

Liberals have no principles, no boundaries, no tactic -- ethical or not, that they won't take. None. For example...What would the liberals do to Rush Limbaugh if he produced a "Mammy" ditty about...oh, say...Maxine Waters the way that Florida a$$hole did about Condoleeza Rice? The local NAACP office said nothing. Neither did the national NAACP. Nor did Jesse Jackson. Nor did any other liberal representative. It appears you have to be "their" type of African-American before you're valued enough to fight for. There's a thousand other examples like this where the liberals have said one thing, did another, and were shameless about their inconsistencies. It would be interesting to know how many of these bleeding-hearters protested or complained when Pee Wee Clinton took military action. My guess is none of them did.

And some of us are just sick of their $hit!!

But it's a personal decision. We who think a boycott is the most powerful way we can express our displeasure have made ours. They've made theirs. And you've made yours. What a country!

Just how did they get "rich and famous"? Alot of conservative dollers have been put in their pockets.

They think they are "gods" and I personally refuse to fund their altars, especially when it is passed on to the likes of Bill & Hillary and their communist gang.

They are speaking against America freely and I want them to know that one need not be "rich and famous" or part of their ideology to speak. So I personally won't spend a dime on them and their lunacy.

They have reached a point where they take for granted where their Freedom comes from and just who it is out there willing to give up their life to protect it.

I don't know if "Slim Fast" has lobbyists but I will not buy it because their owner tried to fund Gore in stealing an election. So yes I would boycott any company that uses their money to go against this country's national interest.
