START NOW,, Punish businesses with your dollars

Posted on 11/04/2008 8:33:38 PM PST by DesertRhino

BY all thats holy, starting in the morning, I swear to never spend a dime on any business that helped elect this islamic, socialist who sneers at our constitition.

I further swear to never help an individual who voted for him. They are dead to me. To the degree that i am anyone's atlas, I will now shrug. They are on their own.

I never understood the brother against brother stories for the sad time in 1860 during the civil war. Now, I fully do.

True story:

This morning on the freeway, I saw a car on the side of the road with the driver trying to change a flat tire. Generally, if I can, I stop and help.

I noticed this time too late (except to see the bumper sticker), and thought how great it would have been for me to stop, ask if she needed help, and then tell her to “ask 0bama” and drive off.

If you do this, you must make certain to tell him why you’re taking your business elsewhere.

These people need to understand that they have slit their own throats and as soon as possible.

Of course hussein will teach them this painful lesson himself, but if you get ahead in teaching that lesson, that’s a good thing.

We need a list.

One thing you can do on a local level is to check political contributions. I did a very quick check of businesses in the Denver-Boulder area and found a number of leftists: The managing director of M-Foods, the VP of Xyleme, Inc., the owner of the Bradley Inn, the CEO of J&B Finance, several attorneys with Hogan & Harston, the owner of Exhibitrek Gallery, the CEO of Woodcraft Unlimited, the VP of Accuvant, and the owner of Hast & Co. That's just with a quick check.

Suck ‘em dry, and don't pay them any more than you have to. Shelter everything. I was debating whether or not to sell out of the market and take my losses, or hold on and hope it comes back. Last night decided it for me. I'm selling out, taking the cash and running. I will write off the losses on my taxes. That may make my tax liability close to zero for awhile. They're going to tax my capital gains anyway even if the markets do come back (and under Obomber I don't think they will). Better take the loss than give anything more to Bummer.

Someone is going to have to volunteer to view all the MSM programs which aided and abetted Hussein to see who their promoters are. That will be pure torture.

I posted similar sentiment on another topic. The great “Unifier” has been elected. Now it comes down to this, I need to spend alot less since it’s must a matter of time before I get my pink slip, so I guess I will have to “vote” with my wallet. I’ll miss Starbucks but will learn to live without it. No more TV, Hollywood, processed food, restaurants, etc. Guess I will learn to be entertained by checking out books and DVDs from the library. Besides I need to buy a gun. Yes I’m sure the failing industries will line up for their bailouts, but meantime, gotta do what you gotta do.

I have already decided to substantially reduce, if not eliminate all charitable giving, except for Catholic Charities, since most of the charities that I give to are run and staffed by ober-leftists, who I have no doubt voted for The One. Instead of sending money, I am sending a note that says, “We are unable to contribute this year because of the financial impact of the tax increases that President-Elect Obama promised during the campaign.”

Thanks, Cinnamon, I'll give it a try. Since McCain won Oklahoma in a blowout, though, I'm not sure I'll find many contributors.

HOWEVER, we do have a dimwitted Dem Governor, Brad “Mr. Hanky” Henry. I plan to make his ugly little life even more miserable every time “the One” opens his marble-filled, socialist mouth! By the time his term is ended, we may be on a first name basis!

ROTFLMAO! What an investment tactic! Do you think it might catch on with the general public?!

Speaking of Parker, I sent “Townhall” an email that I cannot even repeat here.

The trouble with boycotting a business based on the color of one’s skin is that it would hurt two friends of mine, both black, who own several shopping malls, and are the most conservative people I know.

They’d be horrified to hear that a freeper wouldn’t shop at their stores because of the color of their skin.

Yes, Dosa, regretabally, (big sigh!) you may have a point. Initially, it sounded like a good idea, though. LOL!

THAT is something we are going to have to be very, very, careful about! I know some very solid conservative black folks, too, and absolutely the LAST thing I would want to do is hurt them. They are some of the most COURAGEOUS people anywhere in this country.

And thousands of us have to be prepared to face fines, penalties, and possibly jail. Concurrently it would have to be well publicized when I, for instance, am in the newspapers being hauled off to jail.

No, you guys wouldn't even have to do that. Every January 1 employees are supposed to file new W-4 (no one ever does) all it would take is to go in on Jan 1 and change your withholding exemptions to 10. Then make sure you put enough money away to cover your bill come April the following year. If millions did that, all those tax deposits would hit a wall and BAM! You made your point. But in order to be effective, it would take millions all doing it.

I lay FULL blame on this sham of an election squarely at the feet of the liberal biased, outright campaigning, MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

 I concur.  Just ask the Obama supporters about his stand on important issues....I never heard that on the news, CNN said that was untrue, I checked the CNN fact check and it said false, I checked snopes it said it was untrue.  CNN said it was old news, blah, blah. blah.

All conservatives should cut off ALL charitable donations. If they are stealing money out of your check for United Way go in tomorrow and CUT IT OFF! When asked reply politely "President Obama is handling it now."

I can guarantee you that the people your charity was going to almost ALL voted for Obama.

As well as providing donations. It’s easy to check.

I've some old United Way stories....

I've worked in 3 or 4 depts...that "prided" themselves on 100% participation in the United Way.

I have been told at 2-3 places that I HAD to fill out the card..and it was "impressed" upon me..that I "didn't want to be the only one who didn't give"....Ha!!

I ripped the cards up and threw them in the trash can....in front of co-workers. They gasped!! And said, "You are in trouble" ....ROFLOL!!

I told them all to go take a hike...and told them..nobody is making me give anything to The United Fricking Way!!

Yeah, I'm a rebel.....: )
