No. You said that.
Do what you want. It’s a free country.
I buy what I like as long as they’re not bashing America.
"...I have their products in all my cars. Great stuff..."
Beware, mom and pop merchants stock big national brands. No need to stress the wallet.
Store brand potato chips over Frito-Lay. Store brand soft drinks over Pepsi or Coke. Store brand vapor rub over Vicks. Shop around for a local insurance company that can beat Nationwide, State Farm and Prudential. Attend your local little league or high school games and dump the NFL. Put your money into a locally owned bank rather than Wells Fargo or Chase. Buy printer paper from Office Max instead of Office Depot. There are hundreds of other clothing stores that have much cheaper prices than Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstom’s. OTOH, there are slightly higher priced stores than Target but your money works better elsewhere than that cheaply made junk. There are other phone companies besides Verizon.
Granted, sometimes it’s hard to get away from the big names who have control of the market like Microsoft and Apple but you and your wallet can be happy with just a little research.
A couple of good resources to begin researching companies:
- 2nd Vote (2ndvote.com): Rates a number of companies on several issues: 2nd Amendment, Environment, Marriage, Life, Education, Immigration, & Religious Liberty.
They also have a mobile app to utilize while shopping.
- Faith-Driven Consumer: Similar to 2nd Vote, offers company reviews by category. Also have an app, I believe.
Another resource published by the homosexual left is the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) “Equality Index” which rates how “gay friendly” companies are. I’ll visit it occasionally and use the information against them.
Be careful about online shopping. I went out of my way not to patronize Amazon. Thought I’d bought from a large parts supply but the product came in an Amazon box with Amazon tape. That stunt lost my business forever.
Yes, it's horrific how leftist-ingratiated the tech companies have become, but we can be somewhat judicious with our choices. For instance, I refuse to buy a computer with an Intel processor, and look for AMD instead.
"...there is no difference in our products to them..."
New Balance Shoes - sort of.
Hobby Lobby
Wegmans
Definitely “My Pillow”. Jeanine Pirro saw the owner on the street after the Inauguration and he was hoarse from screaming so much, and almost giddy with Trump as our President.
Check out Madeco620.com. We are a small business that supports American business. Currently we have supplemental products from Colorado based Quicksilver Scientific like Colorado Hemp Oil and NanoMojo. We are now working with two different USA based companies to provide “Survival Gear” like MRE’s and go bags. Thanks for your support and God Bless America!
That’s exactly what I said
Hemp oil. That’s made from hemp, which can be also used to make rope, which can be used to make a noose, therefore you are racist.
Sorry, I got all caught up in the verbal hyperbole of the day.
I’m going to check your site today. Good luck with the company.
I was shopping for a Mr Coffee Ice Tea maker and compared the ones at Walmart to what I could buy at a specialty kitchen retailer. The difference in quality and even functionality was glaring.
This is the standard conservative response, and I get it. But it's why the Left is winning the culture war. If you care about this country, it is your concern. If a company is quiet on the subject, fine, but if it supports the left-wing culture, and you in turn support it with your money, it should be your concern. I've watched too many ho-hum responses from conservatives when it comes to boycotts and other actions of that nature. I understand it because we are live-and-let-live people. But the Left is never ho-hum -- and they're winning the culture. They count on us to be silent and shrug our shoulders.
I agree on the recommendation of Black Rifle Coffee. It is excellent coffee and they very much support the military and the USA. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the reminder! I was going to order from them this week. Great company.
The spelling of the name is wrong——ridiculous.

Well, thank you for your...comment. I don't know what it has to do with contacting NFL sponsors, or how it contributes in any way shape or form to this thread, but, whatever.
