All we need is a list of companies who support American values; however, I don’t see any major companies that haven’t bowed to the PC movement. It’s great to talk about boycotting, but the reality is that most boycotts fail miserably—especially when we allow monopolies in entire sectors.

Boycott Google, in place of whom, Bing, or any other of the myriad leftist companies? How about a right-wing cellphone provider, or bank? Anyone know any? Even Publix has bent the knee!

This entire article is a farce! The entire idea that businesses are no longer to be judged by the quality of their goods and services, but for some virtuous cause they support is Leftist and evil.

Hell, I’m not looking for businesses that support right-wing causes, I’m just looking for businesses whose sole purpose is providing decent products or services, without consulting the latest (Left or Right) social-virtue-media rating!

It’s great to talk about boycotting, but the reality is that most boycotts fail miserably—especially when we allow monopolies in entire sectors.

In fact, the companies who are doing the loudest virtue signaling right now are the near-monopolies - because they crawled into bed with government long ago, and government is the "customer" they need to please the most to maintain their market positions.

They are effectively not boycott-able by consumers, and even a flood of letters to the CEO would be referred to at the next quarterly meeting as "backlash from racists."

If one can find smaller conservative-owned business with good quality products, by all means patronize them. But recognize that the government monopolies cannot be pressured by mere consumer demand - they have darker masters to obey.
