Just in case anyone is interested in canceling out the millions of dollars that the DUmp boycotts will cost these businesses. :-)

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.

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.

I'm sure every one of these will go under by next fall. :rotf:

I didn't see Hobby Lobby on the list.

It would be easier if they would just post a list of where a DUmmy in good standing can shop rather than a boycott list. They would save time and bandwidth.

Too bad Lowe's isn't on there, it's just too damn' far to drive to Home Depot. We don't have Carl's, we have its twin brother Hardee's, I eat there all the time...and of course will continue to do so.

All things considered I think I'm generally fairly nice to the DUmmies. Sometimes I may come off as a bit smart-ass, but for the most part I think I've been more polite and respectful to them than they deserve. Lately, though, my patience with them is starting to wear thin. DUmmies like this one really get on my last nerve.
So DUmmie moho, let's be honest. If you are the standard DUmmie you're not spending YOUR money any where. What you're doing is spending OUR money. Money that your savior and his cohorts stole from us. This completely shoots your boycott to hell and shows your blatant hypocrisy.
If you truly want to boycott anything because of a radical right agenda, start refusing your check. Your check was stolen from hard working people, the majority of whom have what you would consider a radical right agenda.
-
I visit most of those places..........ok continue on even happier now that I know they irritate the DUmmies. :lmao:

Thank God! You don't even know how much I hate when I am sitting in a Cracker Barrel or shopping and hear some loud mouth DUmbass trying to convert everyone there.

I am boycotting Hardee's well until they open a location in my town then I may go to one. :-)

Dude, we don't sell pot paraphernalia, but we've got all your 'herbal' needs. If you know what we mean.
Atheists International
Wanna hate on God? We've got an app for that!
The Algore Ice Age Global Warming Global Climate Change Imporium

Aahhhh, beat me to it!
I'm sure my spousal unit would be relieved not to see any of you scumbag primitives in her store, anyways. It's not like they take EBT, so you wouldn't find anything to buy with my money anyways.
-
Most of those, I have been to, and probably will continue.
The ones I don't, is only because they aren't close or convenient.
Stupid DUmpmonkeys.
-
It's ok. I boycott businesses that support obumble or other communist causes.
However, I'd wager I have a lot more disposable income than any DUmmy.

The head hunter would have contacted him, not the company. Obviously this person doesn't have a job that a head hunter would be involved with their employment in any way or he would know.

Blue Bell Ice Cream is the best ice cream. Chick-fil-a's soft serve is awesome too. Man, it must suck to be a DUmmie, to be told where you can and can not shop, what to think and the shame hoisted upon you because you eat shellfish.
-
I used to think that Papa John's pizza sucked.
Now that the DUmmies are boycotting it, I bet it tastes better.
I own New Balance shoes. Only ones that don't hurt my feet.
We might be getting a Cracker Barrel here soon.
Glad I won't see that idiot in those stores.

I'm beginning to believe that the mindless way the DUmmies lead their life is just part of the taker mindset. No thought...no effort...just press the proper button and your free government cheese is delivered like a reward.

WalMart-Anti union, poor employee benefits
Hell, that's my daily/weekly itinerary. Now, I shall hit the gym with additional gusto and come up with a new home improvement project just for giggles. I've been putting off replacing my dearly departed 19.2V Porter Cable Cordless (RIP) *sob* Drill is fine (I have two) but the charger shot craps and cannot replace it. So, DeWalt 20V LitION Hammerdrill/Impact Combo here I come and I will be sure to regale every employee I come across as to the reason I am buying it when I can get it cheaper through Amazon!

GP's main product is plywood. Why would they call some welfare recipient out of the blue to offer to hire them "full time or as a consulatant" to do something they've been doing efficiently for decades now?

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 And the drive thru is STILL ten cars deep.
Carl Jr's It's Carl's Jr, asshole, and you have obviously never been near one.
White Castle-the Ohio-based burger chain, gave $25,000 to the Boehner-linked Congressional Leadership Fund Super PAC. Carl's Jr and White Castle have no geographic overlap, asshole. This means you have theoretical boycotts. Fail.
Cracker Barrel They don't want non-tippers there, anyway.
Waffle House-he 24-hour breakfast food restaurant, gave Karl Rove’s group American Crossroads $100,000 from its corporate fund They also expect tips, so your boycott is most welcome.
Papa Johns-Papa has been a basher of Obama and the Affordable Care Act Boo hoo. Anytime anyone posts about a pizza place on DU that serves more than 10 per year, you guys call it shit anyway.
Domino's-Owner is one of the head nuts for the extreme right wing See above.
Whole Foods Whole Foods patronage is a badge of honor on DU.
Blue Bell Ice Cream-the ice cream manufacturer, gave $40,000 to the Boehner-linked Congressional Leadership Fund Super PAC Anyone who boycotts White Castle cannot, almost definitionally, have the ability to boycott Blue Bell.
Regal Cinema- is an affiliate of AEG, whose parent company Anschutz Corporation is run by Philip Anschutz. He has made many political donations, including a $50,000 to the Boehner-linked Congressional Leadership Fund Super PAC And Anschutz is just dying, wondering when you will show up again since the last time you saw a movie was V for Vendetta.
Marriot Hotels-is a subsidiary of Marriott International, whose chairman J.W. “Bill†Marriott, Jr. has contributed $1,000,000 to Mitt Romney’s Super PAC Restore Our Future. You can't afford to stay there anyway. Enjoy the bedbugs.
Ritz Carlton-is a subsidiary of Marriott International, whose chairman J.W. “Bill†Marriott, Jr. has contributed $1,000,000 to Mitt Romney’s Super PAC Restore Our Future. A fortiori.
New Balance-the shoe company, is headed by Jim Davis who has donated $1,000,000 to Mitt Romney’s Super PAC Restore Our Future Plenty of liberals to make up for the loss. NB is the Subaru of shoes.
Golds Gym-s a subsidiary of TRT Hodlings, a private corporation whose co-founder Robert Rowling has given more than $1,000,000 in total to American Crossroads and Mitt Romney’s Super PAC Restore Our Future You boycott ALL gyms, I'll wager
Curves (a gym that is mainly women, supports the defunding of Planned Parenthood and is against abortion rights) Curves is for women who care about their heath, which (a) you are not, or (b) you could never attract, anyway.
Dixie Cup-s a subsidiary of Koch Industries, headed by Charles and David Koch who are planning to funnel approximately $400 million to groups like the National Rifle Association, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, the National Right to Life Committee, Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition, the 60 Plus Association and the American Future Fund. Dixie cup? Are you posting from 1979?
Brawny Paper Towels-s a subsidiary of Koch Industries, headed by Charles and David Koch who are planning to funnel approximately $400 million to groups like the National Rifle Association, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, the National Right to Life Committee, Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition, the 60 Plus Association and the American Future Fund. Those are for cleaning things. Your place probably looks like an episode of Hoarders.
Angel Soft Toilet Paper-is a subsidiary of Koch Industries, headed by Charles and David Koch who are planning to funnel approximately $400 million to groups like the National Rifle Association, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, the National Right to Life Committee, Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition, the 60 Plus Association and the American Future Every wipe from Angel Soft funds a bullet donated to the Right to Life Militia.

Olive Garden I boycott them too, but because they have shitty food.
Dunkin Doughnuts can't spell it = I don't believe you
Home Depot-When Al Franken was running for Senate their CEO said that any business person who voted for Franken should be shot. He refused to apologize or even say that he was joking Home Depot sells things that people use to work with. You don't work, ergo, no effect whatsoever.
Red Lobster Who cares?
Applebee's-Cutting employee hours to do the end run around around Obamacare And now they'll cut more hours because they won't get your dough. When you're not walking the check and stiffing servers, that is.
Jimmy Johns-Anti union and against Affordable Care Act Boo hoo
WalMart-Anti union, poor employee benefitsWait, WalMart too? Say it ain't so!!! ::)
Outback Steakhouse-Forced employees to make donations to GOP candidates, and let Rick Sanitarium use their corporate jet, like it was his personal car. Plus, they're pushing to lower the "tipped" minimum wage to servers.They have shitty food, too.
Wyndham-NRA backer You can't afford to stay there, anyway.
Macy's-For continuing to utilize the master of hate Donald Trump And their losses from shoplifting and stolen 1-ply toilet paper have leveled off.
Charles Schwab-Large level of funding supporting the extreme right wing nut agenda.Schwab is for people with money. Enough said.

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.
