Thread Name: BS: Tea Party Boycott list
Subject: RE: BS: Tea Party Boycott list
I find it kind of funny that while the "progressives" are boycotting Home Depot and perhaps some other corporations to punish them for supporting evil "Tea Party" / Conservative causes, a lot of those right wing radicals are boycotting the same outfits for supporting "gay pride" events and the like.
Obviously you can't make everyone happy, and the harder you try the more people get 9!$$ed off at you.
You'd think that corporations would learn by now to just do their business and shut up about partisan / controversial political / social issues. But no matter what they do or don't do someone is going to be "offended" and start whining for a boycott.
When the leftists started yowling for a boycott of Israel (whom leftists and progressives are obliged to hate, apparently, even if they are Jewish) some of us Christian contrarians started a BUYcott for Israel, going out of our way to buy Israeli goods & products and such. We don't just punish companies for "bad" decisions ("good" and "bad" being ideologically determined apparently) but we reward them for actions compatible with our standards. That's the democracy of the free market for ya. Let their profit margin determine if they made the right decision or not. That's capitalism for ya.
How's JC Penny stock doing since they came out for sodom.... err... "gay marriage"? Oh my!!!;
