Get this guy on Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh should run ads for his stores. Buy stuff from him and Arizona.
If you don’t support the RATS, they start throwing this threat to democracy crap around. We aren’t a democracy anyway. We are a Republic.
>>> Democrats begin boycott of NC discount chains [Free speech for me but not for thee Alert]
Do two weeks go by without somebody here calling for a boycott of some business or actor because they support dems or liberal causes? What’s the difference.
>>> Have boycotts ever been effective
Not particularly so since the old Civil Rights days half a century past.
Does anybody know of any websites that list companies that supports liberals? I looked and found this site www.boycottlibs.com, but it does not have any information.
I guess Bill Gates spending $700,000 to kill the repeal of CA’s Globull Warming Bill is “fine” with the maggot Dems.
Nazi fascists indeed. How long until they show up in brown shirts and smash the windows?
When I think back to the way things were even ten years ago its sad, heartbreaking really. Political discourse is now in the gutter. Where will it be in ten more years.
What if the reported 75% in the country, or whatever number it is, who consider themselves conservative in the slightest, begin to deploy the same ‘boycott’ methods against the numerous venues who are using just the tiniest fraction of our conservative money to help big hollywood and big journalism popularize this message portraying bigger government and down right socialism is so darn cute and cool.
It is SO not cool for a talking head to openly suggest that, because of an apparent accident on an oil platform causing a spill in the Gulf of Mexico, our Government should nationalize another entire US industry while then pointing out that in China the responsible parties for allowing such an accident would likely be shot after their certain conviction.
Why this kind of nonsense does not result in a million letters, threatening boycott in absence of an immediate apology and firing of the talking head, to the CEOs of the sponsors of that one single show I just can’t explain. The acceptance that socialism is the natural, sane and cool destiny for this country by as much as 90% of our television news media alone, endlessly promoting our republic’s extremely minority view, as demonstrated by the relatively non-mall-demonstration in Washington, it stands to reason that at least 75% of us would have puked enough by now to cancel the cable and satellite services and stop buying their sponsor’s products, or even to target conservative sponsors with their spending. Yet this does not happen.
We love our Media and we seem to love all the nonsense they bring us. I love a little nonsense in my entertainment, but news and politics are not fictional entertainment as some seem to package it for us every single day. A false truth cannot be advanced without repercussions. These are dead serious topics with actual long term consequences to the health of our nation.
If the CEOs of the leftist media wants to tie them selves to the likes of those who held signs on 10-10 parroting “Capitolism is dead; Socialism is the answer” then by all means let them rally around and cater to such fools. When 75% of the country takes a couple of years off from buying ANYTHING remotely related to these socialist causes, the Media maggots will suddenly come back home where the lost revenue is with promises of ‘HOW MUCH WE SO GET IT NOW, we’re SO SORRY.’ When the socialists target a business lead by a conservative CEO, then by all means necessary we need to spend more at his place of business.
If, in instances such as this case, his business may be centered in metropolitan areas where the conservative view is far less represented then maybe he should shut it down and build his business and jobs where the republic is at, rather than surrender his freedom of association. Perhaps the few remaining conservative patrons of his business will move with him. There may be just no hope for most of those areas that are morally falling down but, hey, they got plenty of the cable shows and buy all the media whore’s products. Maybe at some point we can just roll a fence around the remainder with signs reading “Danger: Travel not advised. Socialist thugs and human refuse area. Enter at own risk.”
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me who thinks this way. But, then, I turned off the television twelve years ago.
the democrats plan is to end more jobs
Oh...kind of like what the democrat unions do with dues money huh?...the big reason I'm against unions...why would I give money to an organization who will give it to a political candidate I wouldn't want to see as dog catcher?
I did not know Roses was owned by conservatives. There is one in the next town not far form the Walmart. It will be convenient to go there instead of Walmart, which I dislike anyway.
Thanks for the pingarooni. Real quick scan of the article & flyby post, “...mostly under the names of Roses, Maxway and Super 10...” alas no more Roses around here that I know of. Never heard of the other 2.
Heart soared over the thread title in hopes the libs would thin the crowd at the BOGO sales & WalMart, LOL.
Sounds great. I just read last nite that Wal-mart donated between half a million and a million bucks to the commie Center for American Progress!
"In 1880...the Irish Land League...withdrew the local labour required to save the harvest on Lord Erne's estate. When Boycott tried to undermine the campaign, the League launched a campaign of isolation against him in the local community. Neighbours would not talk to him. Shops would not serve him. Local labourers refused to tend his house, and the postman refused to deliver his mail.
"Boycott left Ireland on December 1 of the same year."
I don't know if they got everything they wanted, but they got rid of him.
Roses....a number of years ago, you could buy some neat guns in there. M1 Carbines, Lee-Enfields, Mosin-Nagants....
The North Carolina Democratic Party asked voters Wednesday to avoid shopping at dozens of discount retail stores whose parent company, owned by a conservative activist's family, injected hundreds of thousands of dollars into the fall elections to target Democrats. Party leaders set their sights on Variety Wholesalers Inc. executive Art Pope at a news conference, calling him a "right-wing extremist" who sent money to at least three conservative political organizations that have created mailers and ads critical of Democratic incumbents. The party's boycott of the company's North Carolina stores, mostly under the names of Roses, Maxway and Super 10, began in the final days of a high-stakes campaign for control of the Legislature.
Memories, huh? You had a beautiful home in N.C.
