Hey Pep Boys! Do you see what is happening to The Dixie Chicks? Learn a lesson from it.
To: Vindibudd
Alright, who's got Pep sissies link. Let's get them French style.

Pep Boys went on to explain they prefer to hire Somali and Egyptian immigrants anyhow, "They're very unlikely to be involved with this U.S. military nonsense, and only take time off to celebrate cultural holidays like September 11 and slash-your-son's-forehead day."

I emailed this story to Rush Limbaugh. Let's see if he talks about this on Monday.

Thanks for the ping. I don't shop at Pep Boys but no I won't for sure. If the charges turn out to be true, I hope they get taken to the cleaners over this one.

Are Puke Boys aware of the infamous and month-long Rama-lama-ding-dong?

Apparently selling oil filters is more important than protecting the country. Well, if you're in the oil-filter-selling business it is! Why should Pep Boys provide a place for the government to stash its soldiers when they're not immediately needed? This business of calling up reservists for a year or so every few years isn't fair to the reservists or their employers. We need bigger standing forces and an end to this cut-rate staffing of the military with 'temps'.

The ironic thing is that Pep Boys probably hired the guy in part because of his military experience.

I am going to fill out their internet form with my name as American Citizen with the White House phone number, as soon as I can look up the phone number.
Others might want to use various names like Uncle Sam, American Patriot, Military Vet, American Military, etc.
Can you image the shock when they attempt to call me only to realize that they are calling the White House.

Just yesterday I was shopping for new tires for my truck, and I thought about going into Pep Boys to check out their prices. I ended up getting my tires somewhere else. Now I'm glad I did.
