Something to bear in mind on 'Starbuck's Appreciation Day'
Aug 7 2012 | SJ

Posted on 08/07/2012 6:23:01 AM PDT by scottjewell

Just wanted to point out something which I know some have noticed, but it's important and worth bearing in mind today, which is "National Starbuck's Appreciation Day" (renamed "National Marriage Equality Day").

The massive success of Aug 1 CFA Appreciation Day would appear to have spawned a second victory of sorts.

It is a subtle sign; one easily missed. But its subtlety does nothing to negate it's import.

I for one find it very telling that Starbucks Headquarters has specified that it not only does not want to be viewed as hosting today's event, but further, that they want the many other companies who support gay issues to be listed and patronized today as well.

If one reads between the lines here, I think it will become clear that not only does Starbucks not want a high concentration of gay rights supporters in its stores today, with the ensuing news coverage, but that they actually recommend that money might be well spent elsewhere today.

Think for a moment at what is being said there.

What could this mean but that CFA Appreciation Day had an effect on it, and made it rethink to some degree its being viewed specifically and publicly as a pro-gay rights corporation? And if this could be the case with Starbucks, might it not at some juncture become the case with other companies as well; those who were rash and hasty enough to allow the Rainbow Agenda to browbeat them into public support? Perhaps the gays over-reached with this whole public corporations taking sides affair.

In any case I thought today might be a day to bear this in mind.

In Canada coffee at McD’s is free all this week. That should do wonders for the whole Starbucks Appreciation thingy.

Not only that, but they won’t want to pay full price for it.

Starbucks is (as the kids say until they get to the age where the schools’ political correctness indoctrination has been implanted) SO GAY.

I never go there anymore. It used to be an everyday ritual with me.

Just for the heck of it, since I used to live on Cape Cod, I went to the Cape Cod Times website.

They just happen to be running a poll today asking whether readers would eat at at a Chik-Fil-A.

Results: 61.7% Yes, 38.3% No.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

The 38.3% was probably mostly Provincetown readers.

Exactly. SB knows they really cannot survive entirely on homosexuals.

Right - its beginning to hit home for them, and likely for others as well.

LOL! That’s way cool! Even at ground zero for fudgepackers, CFA enjoys support by more than a 3-2 margin.

I can see why Starbucks tried to tell them (too late) to not focus on them but on many other businesses as well (translation, "thanks but no thanks, gays"):

Leftist CEO’s have no right to use other people’s money (share holders) to push their sick, minority agenda on the world. They are out there pushing population reduction, forced birth control, atheism/Islam, homosexual, heterosexual sluthood, liberal racism, anti-American agendas, etc.

Like the media industry, they tell themselves that being “cutting edge” and supporting unpopular leftist agendas is a great business model. A quick look at what limo-liberals have done to the media industry shows it’s not a viable business model to gouge out the eyes of your customers in order to be blessed by a small group of radicals. Leftist CEO’s should be fired. Start with the freak at JC Pennies.

JC Penney was a once venerable institution which started in the same Wyoming county where I was born. My parents used them for most of their back to school shopping when I was growing up. I, in turn, used them when my kids were growing up.

But I won't set foot in the door again until such time, if any, that the gay mafia management is gone.
