[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

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.

Yeah, I knew it was BS when I wrote it. I was just wondering if you thought that....

[Fledermaus]

I don’t consider it a boycott. It’s just another informed consumer choice.

“Obama is Bush’s Fault.”

Absolutely. But, not just Bush’s fault. He is the fault of every CFR-affiliated, globalist-supporting politician, media exec, and CEO of US citizenship. I don’t trust a single one of them.

[RIghtwardHo]

Here’s the problem. The people you call “conservatives” are not conservatives at all. They are elite. They want Romney. They are going to get him. And they want us to slaveringly follow along, hoping against hope we will do the “lesser of two evils” thing.

NOT this time. These people are the enemy of conservatism. I will not vote them into my camp. No Romney. no faux conservatives, I don’t care WHO wins but I won’t do that again.

I understand that Arby's is one of the companies that has said they will not advertise on Rush's program, even though they never have in the past.

Now I understand that their CEO is a big democratic donor and is having conservative comments banned from their website.

It seems strange to me that the CEO would side with the democrats who are often vegetarians against conservatives who are mostly meat eaters.

There was a cadre of hard core commies that settled in Hawaii. His maternal grandparents, along with their friends, went from NYC, to Washington State, tto Hawaii. They stayed one foot ahead of Tailgunner Joe. Hawaii was not a state. Check out the Russian Studies program at Washington where his mom met his biological dad. Also check out the Little Red School House and what families sent heir kids there. Italian disciples of Gramsci were also there. Also, check out who bought Franklin Marshall to Hawaii

Your tagline is beautiful!

-—“One half of all people have below average IQ. In the US the number is 54%”

Too funny!!!

[DISCO]

I think that Coca-Cola is now produced in Mexico. Anybody know about that?

Obama is Bush’s Fault.

Some Freepers can't help attacking the GOP. I swear to God you could some quote from DU and one from FR and not be able to what forum it came from.

[lucky american]

I heard today that Mike Huckabee wants to take out Rush with his new radio show.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

[raybbr]

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

To which Bush fully participated. Show me one speech where Bush stood up against the progressive agenda.

Then let's talk about No Child Left Behind and how it gave the feds control (using dollars) over every school system in the U.S.

Or, how about the greatest gift to progressivism in the last thirty year - subsidized drugs for seniors. I didn't notice the progressives turning that one down.

Bush's policies were the pre-cursor to Obama. The final Bush endorsement of Obama and progressivism came when he said, "We have to abandon the free market in order to save it."

After that the country said, "Even the GOP is now endorsing the destruction of capitalism and the growth of federal control. We might as well vote for Obama."

Damn Bush and country club attitude.

[joe fonebone]

we attack the gop because we are not republicans... we are conservatives ( some more hard line than others ) and we all know the gop is not conservative, but socialist lite.. and bushie was one of the more liberal gop presidents around.... drug benefit, patriot act, and many other liberty killing laws were signed by him...

[Carl Vehse]

Obama is the fault of traitors who supported him, worked for him, voted for him, and those who have betrayed their oath of office and have refused to impeach this traitorous squatter in the Oval Office.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Thanks. I’m due to renew my GEICO auto insurance for my 2 vehicles next month and now will look for another carrier and will let them know in no uncertain terms as to why (after 10 years with them) I’m cancelling my policy and will pass the word to every other Conservative I know to do the same.

[Cyber Liberty]

I forgot the </sarc>. Geesh....

[gimme1ibertee]

I noticed on the website stoprush.org,that Arby's is on the list of those who pulled their ads from the show. We had three Arby's restaurants in a 20-mile radius of where we live; all three are closed.
One of them had only been open a couple of years.
I suspect their ad-pulling stunt is little more than financial cutbacks disguised as "caring" about the "war on women".
I'd also go out on a limb and say about half of those businesses listed have stock owned by Soros. I know he sold stock in Best Buy and bought a big chunk of Home Depot a while back.

[EBH]

Or they have been totally bought off as useful idiots...

[gimme1ibertee]

Agreed. Could also be that this listing of businesses is just another way to get people to stop supporting the free market,period.
I think that if Soros and others could get us to stop buying products on a massive scale,causing businesses to scale back or close stores,eventually failing,causing those who lose their jobs to go on the public dole or on unemployment,the left would love nothing better.Plays right into their plans.

I have to say that i've had Allstate insurance for at least 25 years,have had excellent service,and do not expect to change. I'm not happy with their support of this ad-pulling campaign,and if I could get the same good service and coverage for the same or lower rate someplace else,i'd change.But I can't,so there ya go.

Oh, yes, our Founding Fathers would be proud of their descendents fighting for freedom and rights by refusing to buy fizzy sugar water and flowers.
