Primitive posts a boycott list.

I drove past our Cracker Barrell at the lunch hour today.  It was packed as usual.  I looked up its financial health on the Nadin machine.  Nice stable stock that's considered an attractive addition to your dividend portfolio. 

In other words, DUmmies, It's not working.  It never does.

I refuse to spend any of my money with any of the following companies due to their support of the radical right agenda. I have recently added Whole Foods, but perhaps there are others that I am unaware of and someone could point them out for me. Although, I am just one consume (actually 4 if you count my family), these companies will not receive a penny from me in order to fund their hate machines:

Chik-Fil-A

Carl Jr's

White Castle-the Ohio-based burger chain, gave $25,000 to the Boehner-linked Congressional Leadership Fund Super PAC.

Cracker Barrel

Georgia Pacific (Funny story, this company called me last week and said they had been referred to me through a headhunter and wanted to talk to me about either a full-time job or a consulting job. At this point, I interrupted the guy and said "not interested" and he said "I didnt even tell you about the position, salary or location", so I restated "not interested, I would never work for the enemy", a long pause then ensued. When the gent finally replied he stated "what do you mean enemy", so I said "I would never work for the Koch Brothers and the world would be a better place if they were dead" and I hung up.

Olive Garden

Thanks for telling me where to go to from now on, you big DUmmy!

All that good stuff the DUmmy is going to miss out on... must be hell being a liberal.  You're your own worst enemy.

[Skul]

I wonder when JC Penny, will be added to the list?

[Ptarmigan]

Mate the whole goal of modern Liberalism is to make everyone equally miserable. Only then will life be "fair" and only then will the DUmmies be truly happy.

If the moonbats are ever happy.

[BlueStateSaint]

If the moonbats are ever happy.

Ptarmy, even the rabbits know this maxim:  The moonbats aren't happy unless they're not happy, and spreading their misery to happy folk.

80. Life's too short.

I can't boycott every business who is owned or run by a conservative, unless the company has done something truly egregious.

Look at that - two threads now where reality oozes into their island bubble. 

The mods are slacking.
