You know, I'm probably not going to see star wars anyway. But we really don't have to boycott everyone that doesn't agree with our politics.

I boycotted Target when they tuned down the Salvation Army, and refused to buy Tide when I learned my money was going to benefit "domestic partners." I'll do what I can to ensure that Judeo-Christian values flourish in this land. I've boycotted China when they refused to return our plane in a timely manner, and boycotted France for it's alliance with Saddam. Conversely, I've taken a liking to all things "Made in Poland."


But war protesters have always been around, and although I disagree with them on this war, they have a right to speak their minds. We're not the "Thought Police."

Amen.. We're beginning to sound like a bunch of PC whiners who throw a fit any time discourse doesn't suit our tastes.

You don't have to boycott those who disagree with you at the ballot box but it is foolish to fork over your money to be insulted from the stage at a concert or preached to at a movie theater.

There is a time and a place for their politics. If they want to infuse every bit of their entertainment with it then the audience deserves to know this up front and respond accordingly.

Bush equals Hitler is not political debate.
