Absolutely destroyed Chick-Fil-A. Except that, y'know, it did the opposite. In a week, no one is going to care about these companies breaking off with the NRA, and the NRA will be happy about the burst in membership. But this how the we got Trump. Yes. Rosie’s campaign against K-Mart that got them to stop selling guns and ammo was a rousing success... for Walmart. Libs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left is upset that a state or country would penalize a private company because it went against its ideology? I wonder how the left would feel if Delta wasn't an airline, but a privately owned bakery that refused to make a cake for a gay wedding. Meanwhile, as usual and easily predicted, these kinds of boycotts tend to not favor the liberal mouthpieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 POLITICO/Morning Consult: “All companies who cut business ties with the NRA last week saw their public opinion decline this week.” Like most institutions in America today, though, they are run by people who care more what their "peers" think, than what their customers think.

B-Man Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Huge Leftwing Activist Groups Behind Supposed Teen-Organized March for Gun Control by Kemberlee Kaye It was bad enough that the media exploited Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting survivors during an incredibly vulnerable time. Now, two weeks after the school shooting that left 17 people dead, these same teenagers are being objectified by leftwing activist groups in a national push for gun control. “March For Our Lives” (an overly dramatic name), a rally to be held in D.C. on March 24, is being organized by teenagers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and a few major players in the social justice fight. According to a report by Buzzfeed, Planned Parenthood (does no one see the irony here?), Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Move On, and The Women’s March (organized by an anti-Israel, pro-BDS, anti-feminist) have joined forces with the teens, to assist them with the march. The Women’s March, not the teens, is the entity that applied for the event permit. According to the application, they’re expecting 500,000 attendees.

If the culture war makes it harder to get corporate welfare bills through state capitals, that might be a silver lining of the culture war. . Fair enough. Honestly, I am fine with corporate welfare bills being gutted too. I had been under the impression that they were being cut out of general ones. Mea Culpa That said, come on, you're really telling me that a governor deciding to yank millions of dollars from one specific company for not giving an extra discount is the same thing as enforcing protections that mean that NO company gets to choose not to serve customers for an arbitrary reason. The way it would be similar would be if Delta said "Hey, if you're a member of the NRA you don't get to fly on our airline. I'm sorry, that's what the voice in my head told me, but I sincerely believe in it" Just now, B-Man said: Huge Leftwing Activist Groups Behind Supposed Teen-Organized March for Gun Control by Kemberlee Kaye It was bad enough that the media exploited Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting survivors during an incredibly vulnerable time.
