I already boycott all airlines as much as possible. I absolutely HATE air travel these days.
AMC movie theaters. Their FB page is awash in rainbow crap.
Regards,
What you said.
Ok, I’ll take Rite Aid off.
Just saw a new to me Expedia commercial with two guys and a baby. The two guys and a baby seem to be the meme for various companies these days.
“Why am I serving, training, mentoring young soldiers if Patriots like you are throwing in the flag already?”
Soldiers? If you’re mentoring the United States Military kind, it’s certain you aren’t mentoring them about Christianity, the evils of homosexuality, that abortion is wrong and that there is only one Almighty Creator. Your job would be quite the opposite in today’s world.
If you mean the Christian kind, what do you tell them about the American flag that makes it worth standing up and saluting with tears in your eyes like my dad used to do.
Is it because it’s supposed to represent a free people? Is it because it stands for “one nation under G-d as it did when hundreds of thousands of our young gave or risked their all? Is it because it stands for the people’s right to remove a tyrannical regime, thus insuring the right to bear arms will not be infringed upon? Does it adhere to The Constitution written in the wisdom of our founders? Does it fly over a nation that reveres its history, heritage and culture in the face of foreign criticism and attacks? Does it fly over American soil in any place, at any time, on any media that any American chooses to display it? Throw in the flag? I’ve been forced, by my government, to watch while any and all of the enemies of my country and me and mine, profane it, burn it, defecate on it and be successful in demanding it’s removal because it offends them; all while standing on American ground that countless American lives have been sacrificed to keep it flying above.
The answer to my questions is NO! It stands for nothing that it used to represent, absolutely nothing. It’s just a symbol of another political death wish in a long, long history of the same. What once was noble, special, unique and respectable about it is gone. It represents a piece of real estate on planet earth, just like all other flags; a piece of real estate that doesn’t even protect it’s borders from encroachment and whose lines are becoming more blurred with each passing day.
This Fourth of July will be a personal day of mourning for me.
I have never patronized Starbucks, nor do I intend to. Ditto Ben and Jerry’s. And if someone told me that I had just ate Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, I would go to the nearest restroom and vomit it back up. That is how I feel about Starbucks and Ben and Jerry’s.
Hope I don't sound too looney, its not easy for me to put into words my thoughts...GG

Yes they do. On their chins. Sorry coldn’t help myself. It will be worth the ban...: )
See #'s 54 & 78 before commenting. Thanks.
I stated upthread I would wait a week to see what companies come out of the woodwork in reaction to the SCOTUS decisions and other issues. I've now added one more to my list (below)...and will make a decision by next weekend which 3 to pick out of my list for a 4 month boycott.
I've just added Macy's. Great target...they're local retail...and they've been closing stores which shows to me they're a tad shaky, anyhow.
Here's my list so far:
"Hollyweird" movie theaters - media propaganda arm of the leftist Democrat Party
Disney Company (movies, theme parks, merchandise) - gleefully dancing on conservative Walt Disney's grave, complete takeover of company hierarchy with leftist agenda, pro-abortion, gun control, income redistribution, homosexual agenda, socialism, nanny-state, you name it!
Progressive Insurance - bolshevik commie left-liberal ownership, pro-abortion, heavy donors to DemoRat Party, the company's name says it all!
Macy's Department Chain - just banned all Trump merchandise/affiliations with usual liberal rant (interesting thread on Macy's/Trump running now on FR)
I'll be watching like a hawk this week for new additions to the list as company after company is coming out of the liberal/leftist woodwork in reaction to SCOTUS, Trump and other issues.
I'll list my final three to concentrate a boycott on next week. Bookmark this thread.

Thanks for the Ping
Please read posts #54, 78 and 110 before commenting. Thank you.
They're being smoked out! I'm adding another name to the list of possible boycottees...namely NASCAR.
Briefly, NASCAR is not only urging NO Confederate flags at its events, but they get an extra zero for SHEER STUPIDITY for striking out at the hearts of its "heart of Dixie" fans and customers.
Here's the current list from which 3 entities to boycott for four months will be selected next weekend. There'll probably be more weasely reactionary companies and corporations coming out this week....and we'll be watching and waiting to see who they are!
CURRENT LIST
"Hollyweird" movie theaters - media propaganda arm of the Left
Disney Company (movies, theme parks, merchandise) - gleefully dancing on conservative Walt Disney's grave, company hierarchy has complete leftist agenda, pro-abortion, gun control, income redistribution, homosexual agenda, socialism, nanny-state, you name it!
Progressive Insurance - bolshevik commie left-liberal ownership, pro-abortion, heavy donor to Demonrat Party, even the company's name says it all
Macy's Department Store Chain - a real chicken-shiite liberal corporation which just banned all Trump merchandise/affiliation along with usual snarky "politically-correct" public rants
NASCAR - wants no more Confederate flags on its premises as it races to oblivion by denigrating, lecturing, chastising and virtually handcuffing its own fun-loving, patriotic stadium and TV-viewing fans.
Anything to add? Just ping me! Bookmark and keep watching this thread for updates.

First - NASCAR started with competition between moonshine runners and their cars! Ever since the Whiskey Rebellion that made Prez Washington send troops into western Pennsyltucky the tax-evading illegal whiskey trade has been moving southwards into Tennessee, Georgia and even the pinelands of north Florida.
Second - the Dukes of Hazard was based on movies about the moonshine trade and transport - more specifically a movie called Moonrunners starring Robert Mitchum's son James. Robert Mitchum had written, produced and starred in the original moonshine-running movie THUNDER ROAD in the late 50's which became almost a cult movie even to urbanites.
The Dukes of Hazard TV producers decided it might be best to leave the moonshine out of the plots thus creating instead a rebellious atmosphere for the show's fans. To demonstrate that attitude they incorporated a REBEL flag.
Now there's the low-down evaporating into the ether never likely to be seen again. :^O
Folks, to get up-to-date, please read posts 54, 78 and 110 before commenting. Thank you.
Added starter today. Burger King has been added to our list of potential boycottees. Read about "Bugger King" on the current FR thread (type 'Burger King' into the FR search feature).
On our list to-date is "Hollyweird" movie theaters, Disney Company (movies, theme parks, merchandise), Progressive Insurance, Macy's Department Store Chain, NASCAR and now Burger King.
Details upthread.
Three entities will be chosen this coming weekend for intense boycotting for four months.
Push back by hittin' 'em where it hurts!!!!
Stay tuned. Bookmark this thread to keep informed.

Somebody smarter than I should create an app with that list. You could scan a product to see if they are on the list.
If we're talking about a serious boycott, Facebook is as good a place as any to start.
bttt
We have an extra-added attraction to add to our potential boycottee list.
New addition.....THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO (tourism, restaurants, conventions, merchandise, etc).
The beautiful young woman murdered by an illegal immigrant animal the other day was a direct victim of the crazies running the City of San Francisco, a so-called "Sanctuary City".
A SF ordinance prohibits city law enforcement officials and officers of all kinds plus any other city employees from assisting the federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bureau with investigations and arrests unless help is required by federal or state law or warrant. The latter is not being enforced by the Obama (federal) or Gov. Brown (state) regimes, either.
For being a participant and cohourt in the wanton slaying of this young lady, San Francisco should be on the boycott list of anyone with a brain and a heart.
Current list:
"Hollyweird" movies (media propaganda arm of the Democrat Party and looney Clooneys.
Disney Company (movies, theme parks, merchandise) - 100% controlled by Dopey leftists
Progressive Insurance Company - sickenly "progressive"
Macy's Department Store Chain - a parade of liberal fools
NASCAR - the pits
Burger King - aka Bugger King
City of San Francisco - Sodom-by-the-Sea
Stay tuned....we're going to pick three for a laser-like 4-month boycott next weekend.

After reviewing the suggestions received for a concentrated boycott of three cowardly/politically-correct/scared/over-reacting/leftist-liberal controlled and/or contemptuous-of-their-customers commercial companies and corporations, I'm recommending we laser-in on the following three entities as targets for the COMPLETE STOPPAGE OF PATRONAGE for four months starting NOW and ending November 30th
The list included the following...with recommendation and comment added:
City of San Francisco - Sanctuary City, with all the addition liberal/leftist trimmings - tourism, conventions, etc. - NO-GO, not enough conservatives go there or want to go there to make a difference one way or another.
Progressive Insurance - heavy TV advertiser, boslshevik commie leftist ownership, pro-abortion, heavy 'Rat donors, the company's name says it all - NO-GO - they're too big and un-local to make a dent...waste of effort
Hollyweirdos/Hollypedos movies/local theaters - ( media propaganda arms of the 'Rat Party and highly-influential looney-clooneys) - GO !!!!.... resist your urges and stay away from your local Bijou for the next 120 days. You can do it! I've done it for 5 years...and am still breathing!
Macy's Department Store Chain - banned in true totalitarian fashion all Trump merchandise with usual liberal rants and ravings -good vulnerable target (they're closing stores, ours closed last month), they're local, in malls or close to most of us, they're dependent on local sales - GO !!!....no cheating with Macy's internet purchases , please. Cancel your charge card (with written reason) and don't step one tootsie across one of the chain's retail establishment threshholds.
Burger King - tempting, but NO-GO, even though their Whoppers are being sold in rainbow wrappers and they're now known as Bugger King. Some companies are just too big and impersonal for a boycott to have any impact, and BK is just not worth the effort.
NASCAR - races, merchandise - despite a fandom of lots of Southerners, it has advocated a ban on the Confederate Flag at its tracks and on its merchandise. However, again it's tempting, but still a NO-GO. The reactionary, lily-livered NASCAR association can try to ban anything Confederate, but we can rest assured that in all probability its customers will take the matter into their own hands....and if any FReepers go to a race, don't forget to bring your own little Confederate Flag with you.
Starbucks - a good personal choice but just drink your Folger's at home. Not a particularly good target for an organized boycott....so, it's a NO-GO. Why? because the stores' hippie, nerdy and lefty-sophisticated regular clientele will still patronize the business...and conservatives know to not go there to sit around anyhow....and Starbuck's ownership cares as much about our limited patronage as we do about its overpriced products. Their coffee shops are just better ignored.
Disney Corporation - (movies, theme parks, merchandise, vast multi-media ownership and control) - gleefully dancing on Walt Disney's conservative grave, there's now a complete takeover of company hierarchy with leftist agenda eerily financed by customers' capitalist dollars. Pro-abortion, gun-control, hiring non-Americans, income-redistribution, socialist, nanny state and active homosexual agenda, Disney has it all. For a boycott Disney Corp. is a GO !!! Don't feather its nest for the next four months. Take the kiddies to Williamsburg instead. No one can afford Disneyworld anymore, anyhow. It's a small, small world....make Disneyworld smaller by staying away in droves for the next four months.
RECAP - BOYCOTT YOUR LOCAL MOVIE THEATER FOR FOUR MONTHS (write the manager and let him/her know why...or your efforts are fruitless
BOYCOTT MACY'S - hide or tear up your charge card, let the store manager and corporate know why or your efforts are fruitless
BOYCOTT DISNEY CORP. AND ALL ITS MEDIA OUTLETS, THEME PARKS, MERCHANDISE AND MOVIES TILL THE END OF NOVEMBER. Write their corporate office and let them know of your boycott...or all your efforts are in vain.
It's virtually impossible for conservatives to organize and fulfill boycotts....they tend to target bad marks, i.e., too-big-to-fail entities, places that don't have local outlets, places conservatives don't patronize anyhow, etc. Plus, conservatives are independent cusses, don't like to be asked to boycott, and are harder to herd than cats.
Most boycotts target TOO MANY entities, and time-periods for boycotting are open-ended...both of which never work and are strategy-killers.
That's why we're giving it a try for a defined period of time to see what happens.
Tip...I will be using the boycotted company names in my tag line, visible in every post I make. I'm informing my emailing listees, conservative and non-conservative who I'm boycotting...I won't even have to explain why because they trust me. I urge all freepers to put the power of the e-pen to good use!

“Tip...I will be using the boycotted company names in my tag line, visible in every post I make.”
Very clever thinking on your part, to use your tagline as a reminder notice to everyone to boycott the chosen three businesses. Such brilliance should not unwatched go.
