Terminating a partnership is not attacking conservatives. Even assuming that all NRA members are conservatives, how many even participate or are aware of that discount?. Its silly, Delta paid for their tax break, whether it was by creating jobs or lining the campaign funds of the GOP. Now Amazon has pulled Atlanta out of the running for their HQ2, its not in the best interest of their constituents which is the only thing that should dictate their actions.
If they care about their constituents 2a rights, then dont pass any laws that restrict it on a state level, thats it, that is your role, you have no role in federal policy. It doesnt have anything to do with Delta.

I hope Delta pulls out and sticks it to Georgia.
It's not really about the NRA donations but about 2nd amendment rights and the voters who support it.

Are all you conservatives boycotting Wal-Mart as well? Is all of your shopping going to happen at Army-Navy surplus stores now?

You absolutely cannot back up that statement with anything I have ever said. You must be running out of ammunition if you are attacking me personally.

Amazon made that announcement? I didn't see that. I saw supposition from people here but nothing from Amazon itself.

More strong arming by some corporations. Either let them dictate partisan progressive politics, give them huge tax incentives or they'll pull out. What a pathetic country progressivism has made.

If the people of Georgia want to boycott Delta, Dicks or Walmart that is fine but this is government exacting political revenge because they don't like Delta's choice. This is overboard for a government to be acting like this singling out one company.

Sure. Local governments can offer anything they want to entice businesses to their states. Have you seen the offers to Amazon for their HQ2?!!

Hawaii offered tax breaks to tech companies to encourage growth.

Yeah, right ! I bet if the NRA pulled their contributions to Georgia politicians, they wouldn't suddenly give a rats' behind about the 2nd amendment. Politicians care about 3 things.........contributions, keeping their jobs, and votes. Period.
