If the Conservative right were as passionate about all of their beliefs as they try to make us believe they are about "not kneeling for the flag", wouldn't they be in a world of hurt!! Out of curiosity, I looked up companies that are in support of or who have given money to Planned Parenthood, and companies who urged the support for gay marriage before it was legalized in the US. Man...how these lists were extensive...so I will describe to you life of the Conservative who stands firmly on their beliefs...as they so claim!
First of all, I don't know why we are even seeing these folks commenting on our social media feeds, as both Facebook and Twitter were on the list for supporting gay marriage. Oh, and so were Apple and Microsoft...meaning that, unless these folks are using Linux or Unix, they shouldn't be on a computer at all. I guess that means Conservatives need to give up their iPhones, too. Oh, but they cannot use any devices that contain an Intel chip, either.
Next, it may be difficult for these folks to get their prescriptions, as CVS, Walgreens, Rite-aid, and Wal-Mart were on both lists. Of course, that is after they change their insurance to some low, cut-rate policy because also on these lists were insurance companies such as Aetna, Cigna, State Farm, GEICO, USAA, and Prudential. There may be others on there, but these are the ones who stuck out.
Clothing shopping is also about to get way more difficult! Wal-Mart and Target are out of the question, as well as Gap (which also is the parent company for Old Navy and Banana Republic), Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom, Abercombi, Calvin Klein, Marshalls, Ralph Lauren, T.J. Maxx, Levis, Bebe, Amazon, oh and the list goes on and on!
There are several banks they also cannot do business with...like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan Chase...just to name of the few big ones on the list.
Hope Conservatives don't plan on traveling. It may be difficult with American Airlines, Delta, Jet Blue, and United on at least one of these lists, as well as several hotels under Marriott, Wyndham, and Hilton also showing up on one or both lists.
Of course, BOTH Pepsi Co and Walt Disney are on at least one of these two lists, and that opens a whole can of worms, seeing as those two companies alone own about half the world (or at least it seems). And so many food items...General Mills...can't even drown their sorrows in Ben and Jerry's!
I mean, everyone has the right to boycott who they wish. There are a couple of companies I boycott for my own reasons, and it is usually something very specific. However, you would never see me burning my stuff...I would donate it or consign it (at least try to get some money back to buy a replacement of a different brand or something else). Even I understand that if I boycotted every company that didn't align 100% with my ideals and beliefs, I might as well live alone on an island...growing my own food, building my own shelter, and walking around naked...as no company aligns 100% with what I believe.
