It is important for pro-family people to let these entrepreneurs know how they feel.”

Nice of them to round up a list of businesses for me to patronize.

1. Patagonia?

what on earth has patagonia ever done to deserve a boycott? oh, yeah, they;re trying to save the earth while they're making a buck too. how unchristian? but i thought that xtians had decided that the environment was a good thing?

[NMMNG]

3. But they're supporting PP, which supports a woman's right to choose

The fundies can't stand that. :eyes:

2. Do these people eat dirt and wear sack cloth? Stupid fundies

like they make a dent n the bottom line with their stupid boycotts.

They are a plague on their own religion;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalist_Christianity

Traditionally, Fundamentalist Christians have been wary of involvement in political and public policy matters. However, Robert Grant, Jerry Falwell, and other well-known Fundamentalist clergy members began pushing Fundamentalist Christians to become involved in politics. Beginning with Grant's American Christian Cause in 1974, Christian Voice in the 1970s and Falwell's Moral Majority in the 1980s, the Christian Right began to have major impact on American politics. By the late 1990s, the Christian Right was influencing the American vote with groups like Christian Coalition and Family Research Council helping the Republican Party to gain control of the White House, both houses of Congress, and a more conservative Supreme Court, partly as a result of public perception of government's liberal excesses and social programs, combined with the perceived hostility of liberals during the Clinton years toward "traditional American family values".


End timers wanting us all to suffer in our meager lives.

Fuck them

4. What's interesting

is that fundies say they are anti-choice--but as my husband says of fundies he knows "if their girlfriends got pregnant, they suddenly say something waaaaaay different."

[NMMNG]

12. That the fundies are big hypocrites

Is not breaking news. :P

[Minnesota Libra]

5. Whatever the neocons/fundies boycott we should support and...........

....see whose efforts affect the bottom line. :applause:

[NMMNG]

13. That was my intention

Every time I see that they're boycotting some business I add it to my list of businesses I'm more likely to patronize.

6. Darn!!!

They are boycotting Walmart? I am boycotting Walmart. I try to shop at stores that they boycott, but this one I'll have to skip.

I don't think they will get many Walmart boycotting fundies! haha Isn't it the fundie haven? Low prices, made oversease, by underpaid workers, sold by underpaid workers, it's a fundies dream come true.

[Debau2005]

7. I just visited the site to find that

you have to BUY THE BOYCOTT LIST??? :rofl: I am sure the Walmart shopping fundies are all over paying for a list of places that they can't patronize! I would love to know how many they sell.

8. We drove past Disney World this weekend on our way to

Orlando. We saw the highest concentration of fish and flag cars right by DW , many with Mickey balls on their antennas. I don't think the xians are boycotting the Magic Kingdom.

[trotsky]

9. the Dallas Cowboys???

Anyone know the reasoning behind that one?

If fundies hate my 2nd-most-hated team, do I have to like them now?

[tanyev]

10. Fundies boycott Wal-Mart?

That'll be the day. :rofl:

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Wow. First these poor people will only be able to stay home and re-read

their Bibles and eat the stuff they grow themselves. And secondly, congratulations to Oregon! They have a local list all to themselves!

[NMMNG]

14. All the better to keep them safe from evil secular influences

Can't have any chance they might hear/read anything non-religious and start to think critically. :sarcasm:

[TechBear_Seattle]

15. How can I get put on the list?

Not only do I support the mission of Planned Parenthood, I am a gay atheist liberal, too. And frankly, I don't want to do business with Talibangelicals. If I get listed, can I have a sign to put in my window? I wouldn't want some fundy to come in and buy something by mistake.

[NMMNG]

16. You could always put a rainbow sticker on your window

That would probably keep most of the fundies away. :evilgrin:
