Boycott Part 1: Boycott All of Buzzfeed's Advertisers. Note Them, List Them, Write to Them Telling Them You'll Never buy Their Products Again Until They Cut all Ties With Buzzfeed.
Gabriel Malor, in his first (I think) column at his new home at Ricochet, wrote about Buzzfeed's unhinged attack -- and subsequent disingenuousness -- on a popular home fix-up show for merely belonging to a church that considers, like most churches do, homosexuality to be a sin.
So Buzzfeed reporter Kate Aurthur wrote a post about popular HGTV hosts Chip and Joanne Gaines which informed the world that the Gaineses' have a pastor who is opposed to same-sex marriage. This post had one purpose and one purpose alone: to harm the couple. The post served no news purpose—even Aurthur concedes she never learned the Gaines’ view of same-sex marriage. The post cannot be termed "activism" since it fails at every level to persuade readers of the rightness of the same-sex marriage cause. Even the most generous alternate topic of Aurthur's post, "Texas pastor opposes same-sex marriage," is as dog-bites-chew-toy as a news item can be. The only conceivable purpose of targeting the popular television couple in this manner was to cost them viewers and, perhaps, their jobs. To forestall the protestations, there can be no serious doubt that Aurthur specifically targeted the Gaineses as the object of her post. The headline, subhead, and first, second, third, and fourth paragraphs were solely about the Gaineses, their popular HGTV show "Fixer Upper," and the fact that they are (gasp!) openly Christian. Only in the fifth paragraph does Aurthur wander into the question of whether gay people will appear on their television show (like with other HGTV programming), and the rest of the piece is about the Gainses' pastor’s views. The word for Buzzfeed publishing this garbage is "harassment." Even as Aurthur (and her boss) hide behind a pretense of journalistic standards, there is no journalistic content in the piece. The Gainses cannot be blamed for declining to volunteer themselves as victims for Aurthur’s bullying. After years of contemptuous boycotts and Twitter outrage storms directed at individuals and companies over their views on same-sex marriage, harassers like Aurthur have taught many of their victims -- reasonably! -- to hunker down and say nothing.RightScoop also wrote about the "Party of Tolerance's" latest venture in scalp-hunting and Social Justice Firing. The interesting thing this time is that the Social Justice Punishers are getting some well-earned Social Justice Punishment themselves.
He then goes on to note Ben Smith's laughably disingenuous defenses of the piece. ExJon is remixing Buzzfeed's story:
Szoldra is a Business Insider journalist:
this is total dogshit https://t.co/ue01HIhmsA — Paul Szoldra (@PaulSzoldra) November 30, 2016
We don't know where Chip and Joanna Gaines stand on gay rights, gun control, or the Standing Rock protests. Their silence is deafening. — Paul Szoldra (@PaulSzoldra) November 30, 2016
Crap like that BuzzFeed piece is why so many people reflexively hate the media. — Paul Szoldra (@PaulSzoldra) November 30, 2016
I've revised your article, @KateAurthur. pic.twitter.com/jx4Dn4JIiW
— jon gabriel (@exjon) November 30, 2016
If this social-media-mob-stirring, guilt-by-association, drive-out-the-heretics philosophy is how the game is going to be played now… I'd like the folks at BuzzFeed to turn their attention to Imam Makram El-Amin, leader of Masjid Al-Nur mosque in Minneapolis.I asked Ben Smith if he was going to inquire into this relationship, given that Keith Ellison seeks a post which has far more influence than the Gaines' have -- they only have power over a random couple's backsplash and Open Concept remodeling. As Buzzfeed would say: Until this point, BuzzfeedBen has refused to answer very simple questions. Take that as you will. Find their advertisers and boycott them. Hurt them. It is folly to treat kindly those who seek to hurt you. If it's #War, then let it be #War for all sides; this stupid game of restraint by conservatives where we try to convince people to follow our example by acting "better" than they do is pure foolishness, for a simple reason: They are arrogant and think they need to learn nothing more than they knew in kindergarten, and furthermore, they literally believe you to be subhuman. In what world does someone who thinks you're literally subhuman learn "lessons" from you by observing your behavior and then imitating it? Most of us want the Peace State. I know I do. But it is foolish in the extreme -- foolish to the point of delusion -- to continue insisting that a tactic that has a long, long track record of simply not working at all -- acting as if one is in the Peace State when one's enemies have decided to attack you -- will lead to the Peace State. No. Continuing to unilaterally disarm ourselves will lead to further attacks. If you want to be in the social-war Peace State -- as most do -- then one must, as one must do in real life, temporarily go into the War State to punish one's enemies until they are willing to discuss terms and themselves move to the Peace State. Weakness in the face of aggression is provocative. Weakness in the face of unceasing harassment is volunteering for this treatment. To treat kindly those who treat you cruelly is to make oneself an accomplice in one's own debasement, denigration, and subjugation. Si vis pacem, para bellum -- if you wish peace, prepare for #War. As Andrew Breitbart said: "Fuck you. #War." Let it be so.... Lest you think that was an off-the-cuff, one-time comment from the imam…
[Suggestions] about creating safe spaces for LGBTQ members aren't welcomed by all Muslims, especially religious leaders. Munhazim says mosques in Minnesota don’t accept openly gay people and he’s been kicked out of mosques in the past. Imams say they take issue with those promoting homosexuality. "It's not within our paradigm, really, to change the word of God,” said Imam Makram El-Amin, leader of Masjid Al-Nur in Minneapolis. "Our religion is clear about this matter. It's not a lifestyle that we accept as being part of the natural way of things for human beings. When it comes to that, that’s my position, and that’s Islam's position. And this incident as tragic and terrible as it is that does not change that," he said.You know who worships at the Masjid Al-Nur in Minneapolis, right? Congressman Keith Ellison, now considered a leading candidate to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. And from news accounts, the two men are pretty close: "Imam El-Amin has counseled Ellison on religious issues and accompanied him on international trade trips."
The Qur'an is "pretty explicit in the fact that it is saying that this is not a lifestyle, or life choice, that is recognized as legitimate for Muslims," said Imam Makram El-Amin of Minneapolis's Masjid An-Nur. "It is not recognized as being what God intended for humans in terms of their relationships with one another."

This is just the latest episode of the Gaystapo targeting someone who they don't like. This time they do not have some really stupid and unconsittuional law that forces a person or store to bow to their rare form of disorder.
We will have to wait and see if the producers of the "fix it" show bow down to Gaystapo pressure and end the show just because the star attend a church that thinks gaydom is a sin.

Who all are Buzzfeed's advertisers?
My main problem with boycotts is it's basically impossible to keep a running list of all the companies I'm supposed to be boycotting.
I'm already boycotting Target and the NFL. Don't really have the mental bandwidth to boycott everyone who advertises with Buzzfeed, though I already do make a point not to ever click on any of their stupid clickbait "articles."

A big reason why I could never support gay marriage despite not being much of a social conservative (and not caring about a piece of government paper) was that deep down, I knew the drive for this was mostly as a proxy attack against Christians and they wanted a scalp to parade around with.

I just went over to Buzzfeed, for the first time in I don't know how long, and checked out who their advertisers are. Oops, my adblockers did their thing, so I still have no clue. Between my natural habit of not visiting Buzzfeed in the first place, and my total blockage of all their advertising, I doubt I am putting money in Buzzfeed's pockets.

by the way, I've been noting I was wrong, and that my position on this has reversed 180 on this, with varying degrees of explicitness for like a year or more.
I tried to get someone against the "Politicize Everything" position to come on the podcast for a friendly debate, where I would (politely) try to convince him to come to the #War side. He declined, saying that he himself wasn't so sure the #Peace strategy was the right course any longer.

this stupid game of restraint by conservatives where we try to convince people to follow our example by acting "better" than they do is pure foolishness,
-------------
Ace you make a compelling argument, but I don't think it is simply that conservatives are trying to convince people to follow our better example - its just that in general conservatives view this differently than the left who are fighting on a daily basis because this is their life. This isn't most conservatives lives - we have other lives.
Now that being said, I do think conservatives ultimately reach a breaking point where they will look away no more. Arguably they did in 1968 and perhaps they are doing it again now. Where the left has gotten so aggressive that we now understand we must fight. Perhaps you are seeing that with the pushback on Target, the NFL, ESPN and the support of Chick Fil A, etc.
War is always sort of last resort - we may have reached that point finally.

I've never been comfortable with the whole, "We're going to pay (with tax incentives) businesses to come to our state," thing, but it does tend to work, and there's an argument that, properly maintained and implemented, you tend to get more tax revenue out of the arrangements than not.
Nikki Haley and Rick Perry do (and did) this sort of stuff all of the time, and South Carolina and Texas are two of the best growing states in the Union.
If Carrier had been "bought off" with federal money, I'd be even more uncomfortable, but as it is, it's just kind of standard stuff. I really don't get the sudden explosion of anger towards the practice.

Exactly. I've said it a million times. Until we quit acting like we're in a pillow fight with these gun fighters, we're going to lose and lose badly.
They will not quit, ever. They will harass and attack in what has become #SocialJusticeTerrorism.
It's well past time we followed Andrew's advice.
Fuckyou. War.

"a church that considers, like most churches do, homosexuality to be a sin"
Where strongly represented in the ranks of "most churches" are the black churches. Except we're not supposed to notice or talk about that inconvenient truth.
I was being pointedly lectured by a local yuppie liberal female about Proposition 8, the ballot initiative in CA which banned gay marriage, and actually passed, before being later struck down by a federal black-robed radical (who was himself a gay man intending to get married).
My pinch-faced interlocutor was incandescently and vocally angry with... the Mormons, for their having organized in support of Prop 8.
Okay, I said, let's admit for purposes of argument that the LDS should be hounded and ostracized over this. Shouldn't we also hound and ostracize the black churches on the same grounds? As they were equally galvanized by the issue and voted in support of "Prop Hate" by similar percentages.
This is *not* a question which a Bay Area bien-pensant is ever going to be comfortable answering either affirmatively or negatively.
Instead I got a hand-waving dismissal. "Oh, that never happened."
Well, of course it did happen. But the left memory-holed it at once.

>>>Ace you make a compelling argument, but I don't think it is simply that conservatives are trying to convince people to follow our better example - its just that in general conservatives view this differently than the left who are fighting on a daily basis because this is their life. This isn't most conservatives lives - we have other lives.

if you do -- why?
Is it because you recognize that to achieve your desired status of Being Left in Peace you may be required to occasionally use force against those unwilling to afford you that status?

I printed list of "reporters" in tank for Hillary & banned them. If I was home sometimes I'd watch The Circus on Showtime, but not often. Once I read the two idiots from Bloomberg we're on it, I stopped watching. It was all primary & election coverage. I can't write that I watched often enough to consider it a ban.

Target not seeing you in their stores anymore isn't going to affect anything. Target receiving a dozen letters from you and your 11 closest friends that say you're not going anymore will do more.

If you want to hurt Buzzfeed just don't purchase anything that is "fashionable" or "environmently friendly" "free range" "Organic" "Trendy" "meat free" "Vegan" "Cruelty free"
It is really hard to see who their advertisers are because they are worked into the "articles."
To steal from Dennis Leary.. I want to eat meat from cows that were tortured and made to smoke against their will. Make leather products from their skin that is "distressed" with chains before they are skinned..
Ha!

I'm sure Carrier wanted to stay as what they did with moving to Mexico and that video going viral probably dwarfed any "savings" by moving to Mexico.
Also their parent company United Technologies has billions in government contracts.
But yea, I'm not comfortable with special tax breaks as I view that the same as subsidies, but I will take the win.

I've always hated it. Its just a form of crony capitalism. The GOP is guilty of practicing this as much as the left. I just wish we could use these examples as reasons to eliminate corporate taxes altogether. If property taxes are impediments to businesses coming or staying in your jurisdiction - then maybe we should eliminate property taxes. Not give government the power to pick winners and losers.

Thanks to everyone wading in the cesspools to get an advertiser list.
I'd like to add that just a boycott is not good enough anymore. We need to call and email these advertisers and inform them of our decision and the reasoning for it. Probably a good idea to be a bit hysterical about it too, usually works for the left.
Then get others to call and email them as well.

My comment is, admittedly, old and worn. But. Promoting the morality and lifestyle of a minute group, or any group, by waging scorched earth tactics, will absolutely produce great resentment, and increasing resistance on the part of the dominant culture.
I know that is wordy. People are sick of bullying tactics by an obnoxious minority, whatever that minority may be.
Trump may be emblamatic of resistance and pushback, and that alone may be why he is a GOOD thing.

Since we live in a welfare state you have to look at the total package.
- What is the total amount of tax dollars the state would lose if Carrier left?
- How much would the state be on the hook for in welfare, unemployment, etc.
- What will happen to those dollars in terms of private economics that don't go to the state?
Money does not belong to the state. It's ours. The less we send to the state the more healthy our private economy becomes.

remember, the only way to show you're tolerant and unbiased if you're a white heterosexual male is to allow yourself to be punched in the puss. And apologize if you happen to get blood on the oppressed person's fist.

I keep referencing "The Violent Men."
Where he says, "I'll fight for my right to be left alone."
And then, something like, "don't force me to fight, you won't like the way I fight."
Then he let's them burn down his ranch (a huge loss in Westerns) so that they'll ride unsuspecting into his ambush.
They do.
And he remorselessly slaughters them.

But yea, I'm not comfortable with special tax breaks as I view that the same as subsidies, but I will take the win.
Since we live in a welfare state you have to look at the total package.
- What is the total amount of tax dollars the state would lose if Carrier left?
- How much would the state be on the hook for in welfare, unemployment, etc.
- What will happen to those dollars in terms of private economics that don't go to the state?
Money does not belong to the state. It's ours. The less we send to the state the more healthy our private economy becomes.
Posted by: JackStraw
To me this is real small ball stuff that I'm not going to be ideologically pure on.
I'm sure you can make the case that it's a good "investment" for the government to make.
TARP actually made the government quite a bit of money.
But then business becomes all about who has the best lobbyists.
I'm glad Trump did what he did, it was worth it for the PR and this stuff is done in all 50 states, but I'm not going to pretend it's not a subsidy and crony capitalism.

Maybe Buzzfeed has a problem with interracial couples.
I watch Fixer Upper -- it's a wonderful show because Chip and Joanna are a lovely couple with adorable kids --they also redo houses. Except for the episode where they fixed up a house for a missionary couple "they knew from church" I don't recall them discussing their religious beliefs. We don't even see them praying at dinner. But we do see them modeling good family values and the left can't have that.

I'm also fond of pointing out that those nice, young men we sent off to WWI were found filing saw teeth into their bayonets for the sole purpose of causing as much pain to the German as they could.
Then, they came home, married, raised families and built a nation.
There's no such thing as "sinking to their level" in the context of war.
There's moral, just men doing what needs to be done--it doesn't taint you and ruin you for life. You don't become "just like them."

I want to make sure my position on all of this is absolutely clear.
There is nothing homophobic about believing that homosexuality is a sin.
There is nothing homophobic about opposing gay marriage.
It does not border on religious bigotry to act as if those who believe homosexuality is a sin and/or who oppose gay marriage may not be allowed to own or operate a business, or, for that matter, have any other kind of employment. It IS religious bigotry and that position is vile. There's nothing bordering about it. It is open and complete bigotry of the most simple minded and pathetic sort.
I should note that it is also vile bigotry to believe and act as if those who do not approve of homosexuality or gay marriage without any religious basis may not be allowed to own or operate a business, or, for that matter, have any other kind of employment.
It is wrong.
It is disgusting.
It is vile.
I condemn such actions and beliefs fully and without reservation.

I'm not sure I'm glad he did it. Admittedly it is good PR, as most people don't really care about this. Its too small to get too worked up over, but there really is no difference between this and giving a special tax break to GE or some industry group.
My preference would be for Trump to use this as a springboard to the necessity of lowering (eliminating) corporate income taxes.
Turn this PR into political capital that can be used for better policy.

Fun fact about the area I grew up in: Not only will the pastors not marry homosexual couples, but all the churches in the area signed onto "Covenant Marriages," which means that for a heterosexual couple to get married
by the church, they must go through premarital counseling *and* not be living together when they get married. My husband's cousin ran into that rule, so she moved out of her then-boyfriend's house, went to counseling with him, professed her faith and they got married in that church. People might grumble about the rules, but if you don't want to abide by them, go to the courthouse and get married.

And IIRC, Chobani got a major contract for providing the greek yogurt in Michelle Obama's revamped school lunch menus a few years back. There's more than one way for a president to provide rewards to a company.

This post by Kate Artheur is just hate-revenge for Trump. We will be seeing lots more of this. I expect it will backfire on them in the end. People are less scared of this BS and tired of being told to "shut-up, hater!" A**holes.

"Endeavor to persevere"
"Plumb mad dog mean"
"I noticed when you get to not likin' someone, they ain't around long either"
"It's not for eatin', it's fer lookin' through"
"Hell has come for breakfast"
"Shut up, Lige"
"Buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms"
"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy"
... and the greatest lines ever spoken in cinema: "There is iron in your words"

"somebody who believes gays should not marry -- a position publicly advocated by 'progressives' like Barry Obama and Hillary until just a few years ago."
Say, remember back when Sarah Palin in 2008 put an evangelical guest speaker on stage at a campaign rally who believed that homosexuality is a "disease" that can be "cured" by "reparative therapy"?
Oh! Wait. That isn't quite right. Palin never did any such thing.
It was BARACK OBAMA who did that, trying to lock down the black church vote in the Democratic primary in South Carolina that year.
That one got memory-holed essentially in real time. Absolutely no media picked it up for wider distribution and discussion, because the journalistas knew the deal, and weren't going to mess up the careful narrowcasting in which Chicago Jesus was indulging.

If I can also make a suggestion, in addition to boycotting those who align with groups that view us as subhiman, please consider patronizing those who refuse to give in to PC pressure.
For example, I'm doing all of my Christmas shopping at Nordstrom this year. They refused to stop carrying Ivanka Trumps clothing & accessories line. They issued a statement that although customers had asked them to, they would be offending others if they did. They said they would not make buying decisions based on politics but only on what sells.

I'm also fond of pointing out that those nice, young men we sent off to
WWI were found filing saw teeth into their bayonets for the sole purpose
of causing as much pain to the German as they could.
Then, they came home, married, raised families and built a nation.
There's no such thing as "sinking to their level" in the context of war.
There's
moral, just men doing what needs to be done--it doesn't taint you and

They hate us. Ben Smith obviously regards Christian beliefs as dangerous social pathologies.
The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven too-- does Buzzfeed believe equal protection under the law applies even to Christians, for example? Does Buzzfeed employ any evangelical Christians? Does Buzzfeed tolerate a hostile workplace against Trump supporters? Does Ben Smith, personally, believe Buzzfeed should employ anyone like that?

>>I'm sure you can make the case that it's a good "investment" for the government to make.
>>TARP actually made the government quite a bit of money.
These are two totally different scenarios. TARP, which was never intended for the car companies, was government injecting money into a failing industry. Those jobs weren't leaving the state or even the country, they were just disappearing and they should have.
Carrier is a case of government giving a targeted tax break to a company leaving the state. Carrier is going to continue to make A/Cs but they'd be foolish to not do it in an area which makes the most economic sense.
I'd rather live in a place where government had less economic interest in private enterprise but that ship sailed some time ago. Hopefully, Trump will come through with his lowering of corporate tax rates across the board and make the US more competitive in the manufacturing space.

Leftists have it half-right when they say that spending on the military is non-productive. They're right. As is spending on police and fire departments. Totally non-productive. But ... in all three cases that spending is the necessary condition for OTHER spending to be productive, by providing a stable milieu where that can happen. Contrast, e.g., Somalia.

101 Has any company benefitted, in any way, from going full SJW--as opposed to simply producing a good product and selling it at a fair price?

This seems to be a fairly recent thing. So far it doesn't appear to be going real well for the SJW companies.

I'm not much of a fan of secondary boycotts. Primary boycotts, yes. If Target annoys me, I am happy to stop giving them my business. I am also happy to tell others what I'm doing and encourage them to do the same.
I don't much care for Buzzfeed's form of "journalism". Therefore, I rarely go there. If I do end up there, it's because I followed a link without checking where it was going.
But, just because some company spends some of it's ad dollars at Buzzfeed, usually does not bother me enough to get mad at that company and boycott their products as well.
I see Scotch tape is on the list of Buzzfeed's advertisers. I am not going to boycott Scotch brand tape. The punishment just doesn't fit the crime.
Buzzfeed continues to - every day and in every way - reinforce my decision not to waste my time at their site. That is their punishment. They don't get my eyeballs.

I'm a happy boycotter, but I wish these companies were more like Nissan:

"The placement of Nissan advertising is not intended to be a political commentary and there are no plans to change the advertising mix at this time," the company said.

These are two totally different scenarios. TARP, which was never intended for the car companies, was government injecting money into a failing industry. Those jobs weren't leaving the state or even the country, they were just disappearing and they should have.
Carrier is a case of government giving a targeted tax break to a company leaving the state. Carrier is going to continue to make A/Cs but they'd be foolish to not do it in an area which makes the most economic sense.
I'd rather live in a place where government had less economic interest in private enterprise but that ship sailed some time ago. Hopefully, Trump will come through with his lowering of corporate tax rates across the board and make the US more competitive in the manufacturing space.
Posted by: JackStraw
It's picking and choosing industries.
TARP pisses me off, even if did "make" the government money.
But Pence acting as Governor of Indiana, I don't really care because what this cost the state in lost tax revenue is probably what they spend on programs like food stamps every 24 hours. And every state has these types of programs to lure businesses.
So I will take the win and the narrative that Trump gets things done and he will fight for the American worker, but this approach will not work across all industries unless real reform is made.

WWI were found filing saw teeth into their bayonets for the sole purpose
of causing as much pain to the German as they could.

You can say that, but the question remains; is it acceptable before God to do such a thing.
That's the question that cannot be evaded. Maximizing the suffering of another draftee, saying that isn't wrong or anything, sure, that sounds rough-and-tumble, real hoo-rah kinda stuff; but then you remember the Christmas Day truce and realize that a lot of those young men also didn't want to be there, they were also human beings with hopes, dreams, and fears, and that war is a tragedy and not something to be glorified, idolized, or masturbated to.
You can say what you feel is badass, or right and proper by human standards... but internally, you'll know it is a lie.
Whether the men in question came home, built a nation, raised families, whatever, is immaterial to the question of was x action undertaken moral or immoral before God.
Goebbels had a family, too. Does the fact that he was a family man (up until the point he murdered them) whitewash any deeds he did?
You'll never find any Scripture endorsing bloodlust. You won't. o_0 And if you're not a Christian, well I don't have any argument to hand you, so we'll have to leave it at that.

142 I want to make sure my position on all of this is absolutely clear.
There is nothing homophobic about believing that homosexuality is a sin.
There is nothing homophobic about opposing gay marriage.
It does not border on religious bigotry to act as if those who believe homosexuality is a sin and/or who oppose gay marriage may not be allowed to own or operate a business, or, for that matter, have any other kind of employment. It IS religious bigotry and that position is vile. There's nothing bordering about it. It is open and complete bigotry of the most simple minded and pathetic sort.
I should note that it is also vile bigotry to believe and act as if those who do not approve of homosexuality or gay marriage without any religious basis may not be allowed to own or operate a business, or, for that matter, have any other kind of employment.
It is wrong.
It is disgusting.
It is vile.
I condemn such actions and beliefs fully and without reservation.

Even though it's difficult commenting with a fully engorged penis, I'm not too much of a fan of secondary boycotts either.
I believe that in this case, it would be far more effective if a group of semi-prominent bloggers were to start a campaign of defaming Ben Smith as a puppy torturer or someone who continually uses the restroom and doesn't wash his hands before returning to the buffet line.
Targeted, negative, guilt by association things that everyone but Ben Smith can have fun with.
Advertisers will get the message to leave once the "buzz" around Smith is that he enjoys fucking small dogs to hear them cry.

Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!
Rouse the warriors!
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10
Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
“I am strong!”
11
Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
and assemble there.

We've got a SC-built BMW, and in terms of material and assembly quality it's every bit as good as and in some ways better than our German-built BMWs.
Posted by: JEM at December 01, 2016 03:24 PM (TppKb)
Your SC BMW is likely to be superior to the German one in many respects, but none so much as this. In Germany, the BMWs are built mostly by Turks on the assembly line.
In South Carolina, they're built by Southern Redneck Americans, be they black, white, yella, beige or polka-dot.
American Quality still means something. As you're noticing with your BMW.
Plus, the Turks aren't quite as good in the "New Car Smell" department, either.
And yes, I'm still pissed that Honda sent the Gold Wing line back to Japan, to open up more space for Accords.
Used to love showing the Harley purists the Made in USA placard on the bike's headstock, and engine castings. Heh.

I've seen and enjoyed the Gaines' show. The reason they are going after them is because the speak of their faith on the show with little things like saying a prayer no and then. No preaching, just not hiding that their faith is important to them and especially as a family.
They are wholesome and happy with a productive, faith based family life soooooo........that means they must be destroyed so the 98% of gay television shows increases to 99%.

Instead of the left trying to destroy Christianity in order to get same sex marriage laws passed, why don't they ask why we need government approval to get married at all. Work to get govt out of marriage. Seems it would be easier, but it would force a leftist to seek less govt control over people's lives.

On a similar parallel, the other day I received from a food bank sponsored by our state's Catholic Charities nonprofit org. These guys do great work, don't get me wrong.
But they sent me a "Happy Holidays" card. WTF? What happened to Merry Christmas?
I write to them and ask the WTF question. They don't want to offend some of their supporters, and defended their actions.
My viewpoint may be on the extreme side of things, but if a Catholic (Christian) organization is courting supporters who may be offended by Merry Christmas - thoughts of betrayal and 5 pieces of silver come to mind.

It is doubtful that all those TARP funds were acxtually repaid. Recall that GM was said to have repaid their TARP loans but later it was found out that they repaid it by paying from another government loan account, so the repayment was a sham.
And I say that is most likely what the government's so-called profit was. I don't believe a single thing that comes out of the Obama lying shitweasels. And IF some of it was paid back, did it go back into the treasury to reduce the government debt that it was financed with?
Don't make me laugh. Obama has been diverting such money his entire 8 years to programs not authorized by congress. And that is illegal fraud.

The German sedans IMO drive better than the US SUV, but that's a design factor, not a build issue. The X5 is too short, too wide, and too tall, so it is basically a very fast barstool.
One very significant issue in material quality is the European recyclability requirements. The German polymers and elastomers are garbage and deteriorate quickly when exposed to the sun. The materials used in the US vehicle hold up much better.

It's a movie about him watching Lee Van Cleef's character and learning something from him while being a snot-nosed punk - the locket showdown is incredible and is him showing Colonel Mortimer how much he respects him. The movie is about that and about Mortimer's revenge.
I only don't rate it above TGTB&TU because the other film is so strong on its own merits. FaFDM is one of my absolute favorite movies.

Pretty sure neither of them has a mean bone in their bodies.
Also, on every show (yes, I'm a fan), Chip brings the four cute kids to whatever house Joanne is putting the finishing touches on, and lets the kids help. And they have pizza or something together.
Probably one of the nicest shows on television.

My wife is pissed because she loves their spices. His emails sent me into spirals of pissed-off I almost broke the DEL key on the keyboard.
Little secret - Bill Penzey has a sister BIL who run The Spice House. Doesn't appear to be any type of activism there, and are more than willing to take on new (formerly Bill's) customers.

Chip and Joanne Gaines and their absolutely adorable children, represent everything the left hates. They're happily married, have worked incredibly hard to earn their success, are Christian, and are teaching their young children the value of hard work.

I love Fixer Upper. One of the things I love about it is that when they do the here we are taking the kids and pizza to Mommy since she will stay up all night fixing up the house it's not just it's important to have dinner as a family. It's showing the kids this is what it takes to be a success. You have to work really hard and really long hours and miss out on stuff sometimes.
Also I love that they do different price points. I've seen houses for $100,000 and houses for $500,000 and they dump the same care and love into both.
I'll be honest, it literally never once crossed my mind to think hey I haven't seen a gay couple on there. I mean, why would I look for that in the first place? That's stupid.
Now. Here. Let me ramp up the Horde's blood pressure more.
This? Thinking like this is insane and I mean that in the clinical sense. This is a disordered view of the world.

alex, I'm sorry to hear that, because of course it's not right. And you're not being whiny when you say it hurts, you're being truthful. No one likes being hurt. I actually think you're a pretty tough cookie, and I mean that in a good way. I always like seeing what you have to say.
And I'm rooting for you versus the tree rats, by the way. They climb on my roof at night and their little clicking nails drive me bananas.

Leone wanted Van Cleef, Wallace, and Eastwood to show up in the beginning of Once Upon the Time in the Old West, so that Harmonica would kill all of them quickly and thus establish he was the baddest ass of the bad asses.
Van Cleef and Wallace agreed, but Eastwood refused. I'm not sure why, but I think it's probably because he was pretty proud to have TMWNN as the baddest of all bad ass indestructible killers, and wasn't gonna roll over like a pussy for Bronson.
So OUATITW had the scene with three randos getting shot down.

One of the weaknesses of the right
is that all/most of the means of communication
are run by lefties or those easily swayed by lefties.
- Facebook
- twitter
- youtube
When the right gets more traction
these channels will simply stifle us like they do in China
or like Zuckerburg agreed to do for Merkel
We had better come up with viable, conservative/libertarian alternatives to these..

I honestly don't get the left's frenzy over the historic Christian belief that homosexual behavior is sin, in particular their insistence that represents hate.
People can engage in behavior I believe to be sinful but I still work with them, I still respect their humanity. I might like them. I might even regard them as friends. All that seems to fit into what I regard as tolerance--giving people space to do things you don't like provided it doesn't harm you.
The media seems to unintelligent to grasp that understanding of tolerance.

280 On a similar parallel, the other day I received from a food bank sponsored by our state's Catholic Charities nonprofit org. These guys do great work, don't get me wrong.
But they sent me a "Happy Holidays" card. WTF? What happened to Merry Christmas?
I write to them and ask the WTF question. They don't want to offend some of their supporters, and defended their actions.
My viewpoint may be on the extreme side of things, but if a Catholic (Christian) organization is courting supporters who may be offended by Merry Christmas - thoughts of betrayal and 5 pieces of silver come to mind.
Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at December 01, 2016 04:01 PM (jxbfJ)
Catholic Charities is a tough one. My brother and his wife adopted two boys through Catholic Charities. They were put out of the adoption business in (I think) Mass. because they wouldn't accept gay couples as adoptive parents. They were, along with the Salvation Army, much more effective in helping people after Katrina than the Red Cross and federal government were.
So they were one of the charities I championed. However, they are also instrumental in championing amnesty and Muslim "refugees." Mr. Stabby and his family were resettled by Catholic Charities (after the government did it's piss-poor job of vetting him.)
So I've written them off.
The Catholic Church has been f'ed over so many times by liberals, yet it still joins sides with them when it comes to illegals.
And the Christmas Card thing? I can't buy religious Christmas cards in the gift store here. It might "offend" someone.
It's a friggin' CATHOLIC HOSPITAL!

Andrew Breitbart really is the anti-Alinsky.
Alinsky once famously commanded:
"Make them (conservatives) live up to their own rules."
But Breitbart's primary message was, "You want to make people live up to their own rules? Fine. Now we (conservatives) will make YOU (liberals) live up to YOUR own rules."
And this is actually much more devastating then Alinsky's original commandment, because liberalism is at its very core hypocritical trolling and disingenuous neo-puritanism. There's no way that liberals could actually ever live up to their own rules, even in theory. (Whereas at lats conservatives try. Leftists don't try; they just accuse.)
But here is what I find fascinating:
One of the biggest news sites on the right is called
"Breitbart.com."
But try as you might, you can't find any leftist news site named after Alinsky.
Once again, we are honest; and they are dishonest. They won't even admit the name of their guru.

I don't really get into boycotting much. Mainly because I don't buy much that is actually advertised...most of my food purchases are meats and veggies, my clothing purchases are off brand, and any other money is spent on guns, tools, books, and charcoal.
This time of year it gets a little tougher because the little ones want christmas presents. But, since we don't watch any tv with commercials I still have strong control over what they get...sporting goods, books, science kits.
The one big weakness in my home purchases is my wife's (otherwise known as the master) bathroom. I guarantee there is a lot of advertised crap in there.

belief that homosexual behavior is sin, in particular their insistence

355 Andrew Breitbart really is the anti-Alinsky.
Alinsky once famously commanded:
"Make them (conservatives) live up to their own rules."
But Breitbart's primary message was, "You want to make people live up to their own rules? Fine. Now we (conservatives) will make YOU (liberals) live up to YOUR own rules."
And this is actually much more devastating then Alinsky's original commandment, because liberalism is at its very core hypocritical trolling and disingenuous neo-puritanism. There's no way that liberals could actually ever live up to their own rules, even in theory. (Whereas at lats conservatives try. Leftists don't try; they just accuse.)
But here is what I find fascinating:
One of the biggest news sites on the right is called
"Breitbart.com."
But try as you might, you can't find any leftist news site named after Alinsky.
Once again, we are honest; and they are dishonest. They won't even admit the name of their guru.

The problem is so many Church leaders are lily-livered types. I think the whole sex abuse scandal has made them petrified of any adverse publicity, even if it's adverse because they're standing up for Catholic beliefs and principles.
They wouldn't have lasted long in the early days of the Church (of course, to be fair, I don't know that I would have either).

"I want to make sure my position on all of this is absolutely clear.
There is nothing homophobic about believing that homosexuality is a sin.
There is nothing homophobic about opposing gay marriage"
The real problem is the the word homophobic, which the left started using around 25 years ago with great success. There are many reasons to oppose homosexuality but those that oppose it or gay marriage do not "fear" it as the word implies. Worse, it also implies it is an irrational, paranoid fear that can send a person into panic attack,(like having a spider fall on you unexpectedly) I have never seen this happen to people that oppose gay marriage, and I doubt anybody else has either. . People that oppose homosexuality do it of for number of reasons and are able to lay out their case in very specific, well thought out arguments. The left changed the language to suit their needs. Those that oppose them on this issue are categorized as irrational even borderline insane.

That's actually a superb idea.
Consider:
Many banks (especially international banks) already have "sharia-compliant investments" where you are promised that none of your money will go to companies displeasing to Muslims.
And lots and lots of American banks have "sustainable" and "green" and other progressive-labels credit cards and investment schemes in which all the funds go only to commie businesses.
So -- why is there no such thing on the right?

I tend to believe the reports that a Soros cabal of US based bishops foisted pope commio on an unsuspecting church.They are also telling him to focus on immigrants and climate change and commie economics instead of icky church doctrine.

But without a reference as to WHERE those advertisers are advertising, the list is worse than useless.
Is that a list of advertisers on Buzzfeed? Or is it a list of advertisers targetted by leftists?
Or (dawning horror) BOTH?

Sorry I was unclear.
These are current advertisers on Buzzfeed. If you go to Buzzfeed's site, on the right sidebar there's a box that reads "promoted by " and an advertiser.
The news pages of Buzzfeed do not have promoted by content. However, if you click on their other pages it shows up. It's kind of a random thing.
BTW, Ford is a sponsor on the LGBT page
/pretty sure that there are no advertisers on Buzzfeed that are targeted by the left...

Also going to mention again that Gabe encouraged all of us here, in a post, to boycott Chick-fil-a because of the owners stance on same sex marriage.
I'm looking for where he said this, and I can't find it. That is, I searched all AoSHQ blog posts with the word "Chik" in it, and Gabe didn't have anything to do with those I found. Would you happen to have a link saved?

Welcome to the team.
Where do you live? In my neck of the Texas woods, most church-going Catholics tend to be strong fellow conservatives.
Colorado between Denver and Colorado Spings, Douglas county is almost as republican as El paso county (home of the AF academy) is just to our south. Denver is pure blue(to our north).

280 On a similar parallel, the other day I received from a food bank sponsored by our state's Catholic Charities nonprofit org. These guys do great work, don't get me wrong.
But they sent me a "Happy Holidays" card. WTF? What happened to Merry Christmas?
I write to them and ask the WTF question. They don't want to offend some of their supporters, and defended their actions.
My viewpoint may be on the extreme side of things, but if a Catholic (Christian) organization is courting supporters who may be offended by Merry Christmas - thoughts of betrayal and 5 pieces of silver come to mind.
Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at December 01, 2016 04:01 PM (jxbfJ)
------------------------------------
This happened in my area a couple of years ago.
I sent them a letter telling them that we make special donations at this time of year because of CHRISTmas --- and to get back to us whenever they celebrate it.
In the meantime, we will donate to the Salvation Army because they have sweet cards with nativity scenes and are not ashamed of Jesus.
Alas, I had to send the same letter last year and will have to do so this year too.

Usually when I'm asked to boycott, it's something I would never buy anyway.
My ex-wife (a conservative) buys a lot of Penzeys spices, but... we don't speak to each other, so I can't boycott them either.

I'm a fairly new Catholic, I grew up a nondenominational nonpracticing (non?) christian that had little to no connection with any church. I was received into the Catholic faith about 8 or 9 years ago thanks to my wife my mil and my kids. Obviously I'm a naturally "righty" kind of guy. I am perplexed and annoyed by the leftward tilt of my fellow Catholics. I struggle to make sense of it and I do not Understand.
==============================
Communism is a heresy of Christianity.
The commies coopted a lot of the language and feel of Christianity for their marketing campaigns. Communism sells well, it execution, however, is literally execution.
A lot of people think the purpose of religion is to change the world. Most orthodox folks would say, you best focus on changing yourself first.
Or as my 80 year old parish priest famously said to my wife then fiancé in pre marriage class "its easier to put on a pair of slippers than it is to carpet the world".

Find companies that may have more or less progressive views, but do not engage in SJW dehumanization tactics, and openly reward them with our custom and make it clear why.
Really, any political stance by a company is off-putting, but as long as they're not dicks about it, it's fine with me.

Trivia: In how many movies did John Wayne die?
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at December 01, 2016 04:40 PM (8w3qu)
Is that like one of those "where did they bury the survivors" kind of questions?

I'm going to call HGTV and tell them I will start. Support the show.

It's a really good show, just happy and fun and, hey, they make the owners face up to the fact that money doesn't grow on trees and we just found that you need $3,000 in extra repairs when we tore up the roof so what are we cutting from the budget. I don't think I can recall a single time where the first response to an expense was you need a larger loan as opposed to we have to pare the current budget.
Also Part II Electric Boycottalo is up.

I know there are many priests who strongly oppose this sort of thing and they need us to step forward and give them the courage to fight it.

I imagine that if you go to small town churches you would see quite the stark difference in Catholics there. Not many Hillary supporters in most towns of 2,000 people that are 95% Catholic.

I went to a very conservative church in Chicago (St. John Cantius). It was beautiful and the Mass was too. Out in the suburbs the church looks like a basement rec room and the Mass is all sing songy shit (Let's sing for peace and justice) and I want to open a can a Torquemada on them.

I guess in that Equilibrium scene no one ever learned to fire from the rear of the hip in a protective crouch (gun as far away from opponent's hands as possible).
They both seem determined to achieve full-arm extension.
Posted by: ace
This is a real world issue, as most gun ranges strongly discourage alternate firing stances. (It's a lane safety issue). Working on weak side draw, close quarters draw and fire, fire through a pocket (of an old good will jacket), or any prone stances will get you a good dose of stinkneye, if not tossed.

Dr. Scott Hahn is an amazing person. A convert too IIRC. He is a professor at Franciscan University in OH - where my daughter goes. Suffice it to say - there is no left leaning commie theology taught there. The Franciscan TOR priests and brothers are AMAZING.

The Church and the democratic party have deep common roots in the labor movement from the early 20th century when Polish and Irish immigration into the industrial cities of the Northeast and Great Lakes region was heavy.Its a long relationship that's difficult to break

BMW investment in SC since 1992: $7.2B. This is just BMW's capitalization. Feeder industries, secondary effects on retail and every other aspect of the economy over that time are profound. Upstate SC is now one of the fastest-growing Combined Statistical Area in the nation, with 1.4M people. The population of Greenville County alone has grown 65% since 1990. But yeah, a Republican guv offered them tax breaks to come. Tens of millions!!! And the press of course derided the state for, in their mind, resembling the sort of third-world country where the Germans would be happy to exploit cheap labor. plus ca change.

Ever since Twitter adopted the business practice of persecuting its conservative users I have responded to advertisements in the timeline by telling them I do not buy products which advertise on Twitter because Twitter censors based on political views. I figured that was better than just quitting like a lot of people chose to do. Just get a little snippet of text and copy and paste it in reply to the ads.
Twitter is pretty much a wasteland now. They banned all of the interesting people and you can see how much the numbers are down just looking at the numbers of re-tweets etc...

I'm late, but to put this in perspective -
Indiana gave Carrier $6 million over 10 years to stay.
They gave Honda $141 million in incentives to build a production plant in western Indiana.
I feel fairly confident in saying that the money is probably not the primary reason they're sticking around.

Just not going/buying is fine, but not enough compared to what you could accomplish if you did two more things:
1) Convince others to do the same, and
2) Tell the advertisers/retailers what you are doing, and have those
you convince to stop with you to tell the advertisers/retailers the
same thing.
Target not seeing you in their stores anymore isn't going to affect
anything. Target receiving a dozen letters from you and your 11 closest
friends that say you're not going anymore will do more.

Welcome to Gamergate! Because not that anyone would ever learn this from the corrupt media, but that is exactly what the infamous "Alt-Right Trump loving Misogynist Virtual Raping Basement Dwelling Nechbearded Gamers" thing was actually all about. Gamers had finally had enough of the shaming and shoving, stood up, pushed back, and assigned a cost to business for knuckling under to the artificial outrage pimps of the Social Justice Brigade. Everything being said about Buzzfeed here, Gamers came to those conclusions and started that fight directed at Gawker 2 years ago. The Gamers also proved the strategy works.
