Irritated by Starbucks’ decision to remain neutral and not ban lawful carry, anti-Second Amendment organizations in North Carolina have developed plans to boycott the chain this Saturday. Dubbing their misguided effort “Skip Starbuck’s Saturday” antis hope to punish the brand nationwide.
“As North Carolina’s HB 937 is implemented, it will become increasingly important for us to clearly stand behind restaurants who do not interfere with expanded carry under state law,” - the Ammoland.com resource stated, which is, as the site name clearly indicates, the advocate of the Second Amendment.
They also claimed that they needed to show that North Carolina gun owners highly appreciate the restaurants’ support and that by doing so, restaurants had put themselves in a winning position commercially.

What's a Freeper to do?

Answer: Get up from the computer and make some coffee.....
That’s kind of you...thank you!
It is somewhat like molasses, but less sweet. With a little butter it has a butterscotch taste. It’s a whole lot less expensive than maple syrup. Good in coffee.
Sorgum doesn’t have the strong sulpher flavor that molasses has. Try making oatmeal cookies with that instead of molasses — with or without raisins, you’ll love them; YUMMY!
We have to order it online because no stores carry it around here.
Neat - when gun-grabbers attack the icon of metrosexualism, they are finally branded as extremists by their own side. Ironic...
It’s sad when the truthful articles our media ignores can only be found in Brit and Rooski sources.
Only a portion of the Russian mainstream press is associated ideologically with the entirely co opted American MSM. A sizable part of the Russian mainstream press is nationalistic, patriotic (from a Russian point of view), pro Christian, non Communist, and fairly objective. This article cited it's sources (Ammoland and the Blaze) and represented them fairly well. They did make up the title, and I'm sure it was a poke at the loony American left, in humor and fact.
The problem with the Russian press is not in their character, it's that much originates in Russian and is translated not so smoothly, and many Russian journalists have not learned to write for American readers, you have to be a little patient to get exactly what they are trying to say to you.
The ones who align with the old time Commies are the same group aligning with the American perfectly PC leftist MSM, and are not worth reading. Their stuff sounds like it was written in 1955 and published yesterday.
Yep, I screwed up bigtime. I really posted this because of the headline, the objectivity of the article, and the fact it was found in Russian media, not American. The thread developed into a affirmation of Starbuck's agreement with open carry rights which is positive and factual. We all got what we want.
A poor attempt at humor.....
Hmmmm, I may have to make a Cheapo for my afternoon drink. I bought a real espresso machine 3-4 years ago and I assure you, I’m way ahead of the game cost-wise, not to mention the time saved not having to go to a coffee shop.
No, it was a successful attempt at humor and a positive contribution to the thread.
It gave me the opportunity to redirect attention to the differences in American MSM and Russian MSM which I did not clearly point out in the original post.
Please comment on my threads anytime you care to do so.
It did help me get off my butt and make some killer coffee........
