I think this political correctness and 'we must treat everyone equally' crap is just that. Political correctness has been responsible for the demise of entire civilizations. It is a major communistic tool. Plus, it is killing our own society presently. Build a bridge, people, and get over it!!! Sharon Slaughter

I agree with you Pat BUT I think there is a dif. between supporting in the media and supporting with our money. Not that every place I shop do I check their history but I do when I shop their regularly if I can. thanks Rachel

I totally understand our Patriots' desire to support organizations who contribute to Repubs, and not support organizations who contribute to Dems.  However, an interesting comparison from recent history has occurred to me.  Recently, the GBLT community criticized and boycotted Chic-Fil-A because of that organizations' financial contributions.   Did not thousands of Conservatives across this country rally to strongly object to boycotting a business simply because that business contributed money to an organization with which the boycotters did not agree?  Patriotic conservatives articulated and supported the right of a business to contribute money to whatever cause/group they choose.  While this current discussion is interesting and informative, it would serve us well to consider whether we are applying conservative principles equally, regardless of our opinions.  Is "boycotting" a business based on percentage of political contributions any different than the BGLT community boycotting a business based on its view of GBLT issues?  If the issue is freedom of speech, then we must ask ourselves if we believe in that freedom for ALL, or only for those who agree with us.  It's a slippery slope, my friends.  From now until the election it will be a difficult and emotional time.  It is important (no, it is critical) that we all stand above the fray and apply our principles equally, and with integrity, not based on emotion or bias.

As long as we are on insurance, don't forget that Progressive Insurance (you know, the the TV ads featuring the ditz, dressed all in white) lives up to its name with large contribution to liberal candidates and causes.

I would love to pass this on but need to see where this information originated. Need to check it out. Can't seem to find anything on "Center for Responsive Politics," "Shopping."
