[ArcLight]

I don't believe in this boycott stuff. That said, I was on the verge of buying a six-pack of beer and was reaching for the Becks, then changed my mind and bought Bass instead. Rather give my money to the Brits, don't ya know...

[Sam Cree]

That kind of sucks about Dodge trucks.

Then there are the honorary Frenchmen, Ben and Jerry.

[JHENN22499]

Copied and posted on the fridge!!! Also note various wines
example "Fat Bastard" is a product of France written in very small print! I'm looking VERY closely. I am also adding Mexico products to my list!

[Bringbackthedraft]

Boycot Mercedes, BMW, Audi, yeah right!

[Prysson]

Don't forget Canadian Products as well...oh wait Canada doesnt produce anything except for bad actors....nevermind.

[UncleSamUSA]

We may have to add a stack of RUSSIAN stuff pretty soon unless things change quite a bit.

Russian Vodka
Russian Caviar

lets start a Russian list going so we can hit the ground running

[ScottinSacto]

Sig Arms, H&K, Porsche....I hope the Germans come around quickly....I love those companies products....must be why the California legilature is so intent on effectively banning them, registereing them or smog checking them out of existence!

[CholeraJoe]

Two Drug companies, too, Aventis (French) and Bayer (German)

[MassExodus]

Bummer @ SIGARMS.

Best pistol I own - p220 .45 auto.

[ConservativeLawyer]

Its a shame. I wanted to buy a SIG.

[ErnBatavia]

Then there are the honorary Frenchmen, Ben and Jerry.

Those 2 commies have ALWAYS been on my s-list.

[Drango]

I don't know if this list of French "stuff" is accurate...

I had a similar dilemna. No German, Dutch, or Canadian beer. Solution- support your local micro/specialty brewery.

[latrans]

OK that's it, no more Dom Perignone for lunch.

[11th_VA]

My wife sent me out for bread to have with our spagetti dinner last night. I got Italian, instead of French. Does that count?

[SuziQ]

No German, Dutch, or Canadian beer

Why Dutch beer? I thought they were our allies in this. They were the ones planning to send Patriot Missles to Turkey over the objections of France and Germany.

[Revolting cat!]

Well, just about time, use guys, bedder late than never! I've been boycotting Porsche automobiles for 30 years now!

[abenaki]

The Dutch reflex is to line up against Germany, but public opinion there is very much against our efforts in Iraq. The merger of Hewlett-Packard and Compaq was accomplished when DeutscheBank threw its votes (shares) behind it. DB is Hewlett-Packard's largest finacier, and will make a lot of money in the future. Many jobs have been lost at HPQ, all the while Carly Fiorina expects to earn 16mil, or so, in PERFORMANCE bonuses. Should HPQ and Fiorina be punished in USA marketplace?

[Solson]

Ya know with everything we're supposed to be boycotting, is there anything left to buy??

I think any boycott will be much more successful if it were focused on a few specific and targeted items rather than everything freakin' thing...

[Barnacle]

I haven’t touched a German beer in five or six months. Look for Pilsner-Urquell from the Czech Republic. It’s the best beer out there and they are with us too!

http://www.pilsner-urquell.com/

[2right]

They were the ones balking at sending the patriot missiles to Turkey.

[DuncanWaring]

. No ... Dutch ... beer.

The Dutch are from Holland/The Netherlands. I think you're confusing them with their neighbors, the Belgians. From (drum roll, please) Belgium.

[We Happy Few]

Definitely buy Pilsner-Urquell.

In May of 1990, six months after the fall of communism, I rode a train through Bohemia. The railroad workers had spray painted over the red stars on the locomotives and put American flags prominently on display on the engineer's windows. Why? Because there a big celebration coming up to observe the 45th anniversary of the liberation of western Czechoslovakia by the U.S. Army.

[monkeywrench]

We need to be inclusive. Now, what can we do about getting rid of those 'three french hens' in the "Twelve days of Christmas"? ;)

[Capitalism2003]

bump

[geege]

Of course.....you always buy "Italian Bread".......

P.S.....cut slices in the bread without breaking off......pour melted butter, garlic pieces and fresh parsley in between slices......bake till golden brown....350 for about 20 minutes.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[TheRightGuy]

Why Dutch beer? I thought they were our allies in this.

Perhaps someone mistakenly believes the Dutch are from Belgium.

[SuziQ]

Perhaps someone mistakenly believes the Dutch are from Belgium.

Possibly. I know it was the NETHERLANDS (that's the Dutch) who were trying to send the Patriot Missles to Turkey, and were being stymied by the French and Germans. The Belgians (from Belgium) were siding with France and Germany.

Do the Belgians make any sort of beer, wine, or liquer?

[TheRightGuy]

Do the Belgians make any sort of beer, wine, or liquer?

Not that I would drink. But, you might check your waffle consumption.

[AgThorn]

I had a problem with "Dodge" and Chrysler before this Boycott (although I would love to be able to buy their trucks). My problem is with their kissing up to Jesse Jackson, along with Toyota ...

So, now I have two reasons to not get my Dodge Truck (boo hoo).

[1rudeboy]

Go ahead folks, boycott them all . . . and make their products cheaper for me.

[LaineyDee]

Ya know with everything we're supposed to be boycotting, is there anything left to buy??

I was thinking the same thing. Nothing is American-made anymore....and if it is....it has Chinese and German parts. We'll all be naked, thirsty, smelly and walking, before this is over! Sheesh, just bought a bottle of Donna Karan.

[tubebender]

I struck back in a big way today...I squished every hard shell snail I could find in my garden so that they will never grow up to be Escargot. :-)

[angcat]

What about my Scorpions concert tickets?

[SuziQ]

you might check your waffle consumption.

LOL! Leggo my Eggo!!

[Barnacle]

Very cool story. You're lucky to have witnessed such history.

[octobersky]

[VeniVidiVici]

Just by Chinese, dude. What are you waiting for?

[Terridan]

Whew! I haven't bought ANY of these items for the last 16 years! Thank God, there are so many items of much better quality, than these listed here. Thanks for the post!
God Bless.

[patriciaruth]

Now, what can we do about getting rid of those 'three french hens'

Three Guinea hens, two calling doves and a partridge in a pear tree!

[DCPatriot]

Give up my Paul Sebastian (PS) men's cologne? NEVER!

Give up my BMW M3? You're on crack!

Give up my Michelin Pilot Sports?NEVER!

Give up Perrier & Evian water? Okay ;^)

[kaktuskid]

Fina stations in the US are owned by ALON which is an Israeli based oil company
TOTAL stations in the US are owned by Valero of San Antonio
Yoplait is made by General Mills

on the other hand Nissan is controlled by Renault

[kaktuskid]

Also Bank of the West in CALIF..owned by BNP/Paribas

[Morrigan]

*sigh* I guess I'll be throwing out my pens and my sandals......oh well!
