I don't yet think conservatives realize that we've lost this and other such arguments. There's nothing left but the crying.

You can add Nabisco, Target, JCPenny, Disney, P&G and a hundred other such companies to the boycott list. These companies know that these so-called boycotts don't amount to a thing. If you boycotted them all you'd be living in a cave eating berries and wearing fig leaves. They know they can and will survive because the boycotts are represented to the general public as the realm of the "far right". When there is a boycott of Rush, it is carried as being mainstream and inline with the popular view. None of these companies would EVER come out against gay marriage despite the fact that most people oppose it. The liberals have learned from history. When you control the message, a small minority can control the whole country. We'll win some elections and lose some elections, but that is not where these battles are fought. Until we realize we're fighting in the wrong battlefield, gay marriage is just another domino to fall. There are more to come.

That was a revolting display of pathetic defeatism. Man up.

Your posts sum this up very well.

A number of years ago I started compiling a list of the retail stores that were “off limits” per FReeper comments.

After a short while, we were left with the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Shops as the only acceptable one left.

Then someone posted an anti-Catholic screed and we were out of options completely.

Boycotts work if we pick one company at a time and concentrate on it till it goes bankrupt or changes its policy. JCPenny is very vunerable and Walgreens can be hurt.

Rush said as much about 2 or 3 years ago regarding homsexual marrage.

I posted the other day that folks missed the culture war. This is the reaping of the seed sown in the past two decades. Companies are just following the demographic realities of young, new customers.
