Here's another interesting list of companies the left has planned to boycott that I found surfing through the internet. Prepare to laugh and take note.

From Liberal Info - List of Companies Supporting Right-Wing and Tea Party Causes and Candidates to Boycott

Is this insane or what? I thought it was a joke at first. I can't believe these people are seriously about to boycott all these companies. Good luck liberals.
This is what the left is reduced to, they cannot win the debate with their ideas, so they try to silence any voices they disagree with by trying to cause them financial or physical harm. Just look at the OWS thugs, they resort to violence and lawlessness. I'm sure the lefties on C-D will defend this kind of crap.

Multiple democratic mayors attacking Chick-Fil-A, and mayor Bloomberg encouraging police and firemen to strike, are the most recent examples of this tactic. If you dare to disagree with liberals, they know they cannot win you over intellectually, by convincing you of the superiority of their ideology, so they resort to the thuggish tactic of destroying your business, destroying your reputation, or causing you mental anguish and if that fails, then physical harm.

I just don't feel contributing to their profitability so they can abuse you further, is a good thing.

There are so many offshoots you can't possibly know if you're using any of those products.

Can you honestly say none of the fabrics in your home or on your body are Dacron or Cordura? Or Comforel?

No, you can't.

Trust me, your home definitely does have these products.

I'm to the left of liberals and I drink Killian's Red and Blue Moon, and will continue.

Many of the other products on the list suck ass, regardless of political leanings, American Idol, please.

So your thread fails right from the get go.

If they spent half the time trying to figure out what makes these companies work that they spend trying to figure out which companies to boycott like petulant children, then we might be better off.

Most sane people or those with a modicum of brain cells understand that Obama was referring to INFRASTRUCTURE, not a particular business.

saw some republican on the news last night using that phrase, and I thought 'how can you say that with a straight face, knowing you are outright LYING'?

It's still a stupid statement by the President. The unemployed use the same roads so business owners had to do something to differentiate themselves from the others that drive on the roads, went to school etc.

Obama says exactly what he means and more importantly... believes.

Back to OP.... If you really want to Boycott businesses that are mainly Ultra Conservative you'll stop eating farm produce, wearing cotton, eating beef and putting gas in your car.

Why give up something so easy as a cold Coors beer when you should be serious about your boycotts and hit the people who really matter. Don't buy a home from a builder or borrow any money from a lender.

If you are going to be serious about being Anti Conservative, be very serious. Or just continue the push for more Govt.
