I put my money where my mouth is today (ALERT for Augusta, Maine)!
Last edited Sun Jun 10, 2012, 09:59 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
For those of you who live in Augusta, Maine, This took place in the Tim Horton's on Western Ave. That and the other Tim Horton's on Bangor street are owned by the same people.
Yesterday my wife and I were running a few errands while our son was at home a little under the weather. On the way home we stopped at Tim Horton's to get him a treat because he LOVES their frosted cinnamon buns. There was a woman there with campaign literature, signs and bumper stickers promoting one of the teapublican senate candidates for Tuesday's primary. It appeared that there were volunteers coming and going. Since we live in a free country my wife and I believe that even teabaggers have the right to believe what they want to believe. We also like to ignore the baggers unless we have the opportunity to really piss them off.
Today, the three of us stopped there for a snack while we were out and about. The same table in the same Tim Horton's was regaled with the same literature for the same teabagger candidate. When our order was completed, I asked to see the manager on duty. I asked him if Tim Horton's had made an endorsement of this particular candidate. He said that he didn't know . I stated that if this were the case, than I doubted that my wife or I would be patronizing either of their stores again because we would interpret this as an indication that our Democratic money was not wanted, or at least we didn't want to spend our money at a place where the beliefs held by the ownership were directly contrary to ours.
On both days, there was a car in the parking lot with a very large sign for the teabagger candidate on display and visible to the street traffic. I should also mention that I've seen campaign material from this candidate that promotes him as the teabagger candidate for the US Senate this year. Two years ago when he ran for governor, he embraced the teabagger movement then, too.
After we left, we saw through the window that the manager was speaking with the teabagger woman. I don't know what was said and I don't particularly care. My hope is that the ownership realizes that opinions can frequently be bad for business. If they are not endorsing this teapublican candidate, I hope that they realize that the baggers using their store as a de facto headquarters certainly gives that appearance and is equally bad for business.
I believe in voting with my pocket book and my very big mouth. Whenever I see faux noise on in an establishment, I either make an issue of it, stop patronizing or both. Unfortunately, there are way too many people on our side that still have the post 911 neutered puppy mentality that dictates the silence of our convictions and allows the right to spew it's venom with impunity. They are afraid of rightists calling them traitors. Rightists have been calling me a traitor since the Spring of 1967 when I was just shy of my 12th birthday and expressed my opposition to the Vietnam war.
Horseshit!
When george w moron had his illusory 92% approval rating immediately following 911, we were proud to be in the 8%. We are patriots who will support our country without supporting the unelected fraud who'd been appointed to office before a national tragedy occurred.
My wife and I have NEVER been quiet about our beliefs. We never will be. And we will NEVER willingly or knowingly financially support political views that we find repellent.
That's my 2 cents and quite possibly overpriced at that!
PEACE!

10. Good for you!
I think that one of the Dunkin Donuts here in town no longer has a TV because My wife and I always gave them hell when they had faux noise on.
PEACE!

14. What a WONDERFUL account!!! Good for YOU!!
I do this kind of thing too, when called for. I told a liquor store where I buy my wine that I was going to eschew them if they didn't get rid of Fox News--that I found it viscerally distressing. I told the guy "I shouldn't feel worse leaving here than I did coming in, and that's what your shitty tv is doing to me." I guess he must have polled his customers! They switched to TVLAND and the guy said he's getting positive reviews (who doesn't like Beaver and Wally and crap like that). He's probably still a wingnut, but it's not spewing everywhere now. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind...!
I have a feisty relation who dumped her mechanic because he wouldn't turn off Limbaugh. He tried forever to retrieve her custom, but she found another who charged less and played golden oldies!

I was all impressed with eschewing a wine seller who caused visceral distress until the DUmmy reverted to what is probably the more normal speech pattern of "shitty tv."
Truth be told, it would not surprise me to find this one making wine purchases at the local WalMart. Oh wait. They don't go in WalMart.

That's fine, it's a free country, for you at least. What about all the people who are forced to cough up union dues against their will, only to have it funnelled to demokrats who may be in fierce conflict with the payer's views?

It appears they have nothing better to do than go from business to business to see what is on their TV. Then harass the owner/manager it if doesn't comply with their socialist/communist diatribe. :mental:

Remember the first rule of the primitives.
DUmmies lie, all the time DUmmies lie.
None of this bullshit as described by any of the primitives is true; it's something they wish were true, something they wish would've happened, nothing more than that.

Tim Hortons is a Canadian Company, does this mean Canada and Maine have gone right wing? :o

Ward off old hippies, evil spirits, blinding white light and pictures of dirty hands...tune in FOX NEWS and endorse a TEA party candidate...guarranteed to work every time...or provide entertainment according to drug level in moonbat.

...and BTW: I will never eat another cinnamon bun as long as I live...or until I see one with raisins in it, whichever comes first.

So how on earth could their son have been in two places at once, at home and in the car with them ???
Any business that has TV has the Right to put on any TV station they wish. If they have a Infomercial on about some divice to remove nose hair and the Packers are playing or Nazca running what right do you have to threaten them with loss of your business unless they change the channel for the 10 minutes you wait for take out.
Lord, these guys think they are some special, could be 7-8 old men watching the station and taking down the 1-800 number to call.
Liberals think ONLY of themselves, -----Say Man I have $10.00 to spend here and I expect all my wishes to be granted, screw the majority watching in rapt attention on how a nose hair cutter will beef up their sex life.

Sounds like these folks just ride thru town looking for businesses to bust. I'll bet they would not agree if I wrote a bouncy about boycotting a restaurant that barred concealed carry.

You've got to give him credit for having the old ball & chain Chica Azz jump in to authenticate the bouncy. Even though she did screw up the kid part. I love how they display their tolerance by using a term describing a particularly nasty homosexual act to refer to their worthy opponents. In the future, I resolve to refer to them as DUfletchers.

MADem only buys the finest boxes of wine. You can tell because he uses words like "eschew" and "viscerally."

...my very big mouth...
No further words are necessary than this. I would imagine that all you did was make yourself look like the moronic, braying jackass that you truly are than making any converts. ****wits like you, if any part of this pile of BS is true, do more for the other side than you do for your own. If I were in the Maine demoshit party, I would have duct taped your mouth and shoved you out the door before you said something really stupid.

Damn, vesta, you spotted one; the primitive says his son was ill at home, and the primitive's "wife" says the son was in the restaurant with them.
Someone got their wires crossed when writing this bouncy.
It reminds me of poor stupid Beth during the Scamdal.

I think the DUmmie and his wife were talking about two separate trips.

I would turn the channel when you came in as well. From what I would make on you when you come in to buy your MD 20/20 and Thunderbird by the truck load my kid could go to college twice.

This one fails, it just fails. Much too long-winded, too obviously fabricated. Impossible to believe, not even one bong. Not even rating-worthy.
FAIL.

I've been to many liquor stores in many states and countries and I have yet to see one that has a television running for their customers. I call bullshit on the boxed wine buying DUmbass.

What's the word ?
Thunderbird
What's the reason ?
Drinking season
What's the price ?
Two dimes twice
Who drinks the most ?
Colored folks
Before all the thought, and hate speech police break down my door, I didn't say what color. Also you will note, that none of those words are on my list of banned words, or even in consideration.

What is it with the moonbat penchant for silencing opposing points of view through financial extortion, legislation or physical force? With very few exceptions would I refuse to patronize a business because of the owners or other customers' beliefs, assuming I even knew them, which I likely wouldn't. It would have to be something very egregious and even then it wouldn't be for the express purpose of hurting them financially but because I just wouldn't want to keep personal company with them. I certainly wouldn't feel compelled to make an ostentatious showing of what I was doing.
Do they really think they're changing anyone's mind even if they do succeed in shutting down expressions of thought? It just seems childish to me.

Watch the vintage though. Spring of 2010 was way too warm & dry.

Ripple- I was introduced to this fine wine at Ft Dix in 1980. The Teamsters were on strike, so no beer deliveries. The EM Club sold Ripple for $1 a bottle.
I still shudder thinking about it.

dandi, if you are on twitter, check out some of the hashtags like #stoprush or #stopbeck. They are not complaining about Rush and Glenn, they spend all day, everyday trying to get them off of the air. They don't recognize fascism whilst practicing it.

Well said and pretty much what I was thinking while reading the bouncy. For a group that likes to preach tolerance, they sure don't seem very tolerant.
