I’ve sat by and watched progressives attack our liberties, our Constitution and our way of life for long enough. No more.

For too long, conservatives have been content to sit on what we call the high ground while the Left racks up small victory after small victory until all we have left is the high ground under our butts. Enough.

They go after Rush Limbaugh, and conservatives say, “This is an outrage,” but do nothing. The most extreme, racist left-wing groups contact advertisers and sponsors and pressure them to abandon shows and networks that made them. And too often – and far too quickly in a lot of cases – the advertisers cave. If not for their spots on Rush’s show, I never would have heard of Angie’s List, Carbonite or many others who’ve bought into the faux anger the astroturf pros drummed up.

I’ve used ProFlowers in the past but never again. There are plenty of other options for sending flowers, just as there are options for every sponsor who sides with the Left.

Normally conservatives say, “I don’t support boycotts, but I’m never going to use company X again,” and have done with it. No more.

I am asking you to join me in never, EVER using any product or service from ANY company that sides with or caves under pressure from those who seek to silence us. And avoid any company that supports their hate-machine monetarily.

We learned this week that Color of Change, the race-based progressives group funded by George Soros and founded by communist/truther Van Jones, pressured Coca-Cola into abandoning the Left’s latest boogeyman – the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC helps draft voter ID laws throughout the country. That’s what it does – create model legislation, on request, to help state lawmakers.

it will only work if people not only stop using the products...

but also call the companies and explain why

it’s the calls, not the dip in sales, that the companies are caving to

Some fairly comical exchanges of insults on the Yahoo CARB message board as to whether the “Limbaugh effect” has been erased by recent stock price increases. Of course short-term variations aren’t important except to day traders, Carbonites future will be determined in the marketplace and you won’t find a stronger champion for free markets than Rush.

The political orientation of the supplier is way way down the list of factors determining a purchase decision, and that’s why boycotts are ineffective.

The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals.

His deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.

Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.

The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.

Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.

Will the “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?

BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.

BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?

Agreed. Avoid buying anything from any company. Become more self-sufficient. Starve the corporate socialist beast.

It tells me that George Bush had the intelligence on him and did nothing to prevent an avowed Communist and enemy of the United States from infesting our White House.

It tells me that people on our side in high places have been threatened, along with their families.

It tells me that they have been told to go through the motions and make the usual noises but NOT CROSS THE LINE.

I, for one, am a bona-fide foreign, Kenyan Racial Profiler, and I make a special effort to “cross the line” drawn by any PC political party.

BTW, PC is to DC what “roadapples” are to horses.

I have already started. I am now brewing my own beer. Of course I still have to buy grains, yeasts, hops, adjuncts, and other assorted stuff.

Perhaps we need a thread on tactics and strategy. We need to pick apart the effectiveness of boycotts and other tactics. Conservatives are loath to do things just because some other person says...unlike liberals. However, if we understand all the elements of strategy and their effect on the adversary I think we would garner much broader support.

That’s BS and you know it.

Obama is not Bushe’s fault. Obama is the result of 100 years of Progressive attack and indoctrination.

I prefer to think that the stock market has been rising because Americans like us are hoping that they see an end to this very Un-American nightmare we have been subjected to, i.e., Obama.

If I boycotted everything that has been suggested, there would be very little I’d be able to buy. Instead I maintain my own boycott list in my head.

Examples are, Best Buy, Casey’s, Wendy’s restaurants and there are others. I have my reasons and would not expect others to join me. Buy from whomever and boycott whomever you wish and I’ll do the same.

The drumbeat gets louder and we get more posts like yours saying the drum beat is getting louder. I’m certain everybody knows the drumbeat is getting louder. Yet there are no posts or threads as you have just pointed out about anything being done about the freaking loud drum beat... right? Did I miss your plan to overcome the drumbreat somewhere? If I did let me know.
