Are you currently boycotting anything you like due to politics?

[mvd]

I refuse to buy another Mary Higgins Clark book. She's a big Republican. Her contributions include giving to New Jersey Republicans like Franks, $10,000 to the RNC, and $1,000 to Bush in 2000. I've been having good luck with my celeb crushes, but was really sad to see that one of my favorite authors is a Repuke. I don't boycott with music artists, actors and actresses unless they inject political stuff into their work, but I don't mind it with authors. For some reason, a book seems more personal to me.

What are your boycotts of things you like due to political affiliation?

[TroubleMan]

1. Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, Fox, Walmart, Taco Bell

...and I love food from Taco Bell...that one hurts.

[zuzu98]

2. WalMart

in particular (haven't been since Christmas), but I'm also trying not to buy a lot of stuff in general (especially big-ticket items) -- don't want to contribute to Chimpy's "strong economy!"

[MichiganVote]

9. Ditto + Sam's club, Fox News and Home Depot

[Demonaut]

59. Sams Club, Walmart, MBNA, too

[PVnRT]

17. Same here

Of course, I never liked Wal-Mart to begin with, so I guess it doesn't count.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

21. That's the big one for me.

No Wal-Mart ever again. (Haven't shopped there in years, proud to say) Now I just gotta get across town and sign up at a Costco.
Also, I totally avoid Coors products. No more Killians Irish Red (Good thing the Green Mill brew pub on Grand Ave has a killer red beer).
Every single Clear Channel radio station, plus the ones that have morning shows that do nothing but cheer lead the war.
And Terry Goodkind novels. Never reading another pseudo-fantasy "I wanna preach to you about the goodness of the Iraqi warm, the evils of anti-war protestors, how I want to kill them, collectivism, and Ayn Rand while disguising it as a fantasy novel" book again.

[medeak]

82. ditto

driving 300 miles this weekend to go to Costco

[sleepyhead]

90. Wow!

You *are* dedicated. Guess I can't complain about fighting Brooklyn traffic to go to my Costco.

[22181]

3. Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Schwarzenneger Movies, CNN

Not that it makes a bit of difference. I used to really like all four.

Edited to add: Dennis Miller also. I idolized him when he was on SNL (I majored in Journalism - thought his take on news was fantastic). Can't stand him now. These day's Jon Stewart's my man. :)

[Wwagsthedog]

4. With a site like this you can even boycott your neighbors

besides fox and so many others;

http://www.fundrace.org/

Yeah, it's not that up to date and has been posted before but it's fun see who your doctor (et al) supports.

[curse10]

11. that site is awesome! I found out my favorite professor

gave John Kerry $2000!!

[WMliberal]

13. me too

the chair of the gov't department donated over $60k in the past couple of years. Now he's using his daughter's name so he can donate even more to candidates nationwide!!

[St. Jarvitude]

28. Their sister site, GoogleRace, is a riot

http://www.googlerace.com/?q=chimp

And so on.

[Kitka]

5. Yeah, I boycott a lot of companites-Check out any industry at opensecrets.

(www.opensecrets.org) and who they support if that's something you're interested in knowing to help decide who to support.

Restaurants: http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.asp?Ind=G2900

Retailers: http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.asp?Ind=N03

Communications & Media: http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.asp?Ind=B

[fujiyama]

75. What's really interesting

is that many of the communications companies give a majority to dems. Even News Corp (which I think is part of Fox News oddly enough) gave more to dems.

Every other industry is almost completely republican dominated. I was surprised that the GAP gave slightly more to dems than repugs. For some reason I would have thought it was the other way around.

[Maddy McCall]

6. I don't do Ruby Tuesdays at all.

Not that I like them--but they did have a killer salad bar.

[antigone382]

30. I've been boycotting Ruby Tuesday's

ever since I pulled that huge sliver of glass out of my mouth when I ate there one time.

[AmandaRuth]

7. cable

almost all radio, walmart, home depot.

[rucky]

8. Home Depot is a tough one for me

it's really really convenient but I won't set foot in one.

the others are no problem - lotsa great mom & pop shops in my area.

[curse10]

10. Meat

the meat industry is a republican stronghold with lots of lobbying money in DC

[Bogus W Potus]

19. Corporate maybe, but not free range

Corporate maybe, but not free range.

Besides, every big industry(meat packers included) is going to support Bush. Big corporate farms do also, and some of them grow vegetables and fruits as well.

I really don't think people should stop eating meat just because some of the money mind end up in Dumbya's campaign coffers. If you want to stop eating meat for health or ethical reasons, fine, but doing it because you're afraid some of the money might end up in Republican hands is just stupid.

I am not going to give up experiences I enjoy like shopping at Home Depot just because they give a lot of money to Republicans, and I am not going to stop listening to my classic rock station just because it happens to be owned by Clear Channel.

[curse10]

35. Oh I gave up meat for many reasons, moral reasons being number 1

the political side is just a bonus

and be careful- free range meat ain't all it's cracked up to be and definately not a bastion of liberalism. THey still treat the animals like shit.

[Bogus W Potus]

38. You don't know what you're talking about

I buy steaks from a local free-range farmer and he treats his cows fine. Each of them have a lot more space to roam around than they would have at a factory farm, and they are not crowded into tiny pens. They all have adequate space. You can argue that killing them is inhumane, but the cows are fed and watered by hand.

[liontamer]

49. I don't suppose you live in new york

I'm looking to buy my meat from a good farm.

[Bogus W Potus]

57. I do, actually.

You're in luck.

Here are some links to get you started:

http://www.eatwild.com/products/newyork.html

[liontamer]

58. thanks!

[curse10]

72. actually, I do

free range labels or cage free labels are not regulated by the FDA. Anyone schmo can put it on their food. And even "humane" conditions are far from perfect. Not to mention what happens when they are finally transported to the slaughterhouse.

And, considered the amount of land that has to be destroyed (including rain forests) for the meat, including "free range" is it really any better? There is no good way around eating meat. You either fess up and say, "Yep, I like to have animals killed so I can eat a burger" or stop eating meat. The consequences to the environment and to animal are more important than a BigMac, in my opinion. "free range" is just an attempt to make people feel better about the cruelty.

[Bogus W Potus]

73. Okay

That's a non sequitur.

Just because I like eating meat does not mean I like having animals killed.

Let me put it this way:

I don't care that cows have to be killed so that I can enjoy my double cheeseburgers. Do I enjoy knowing they die? No.

[politicat]

86. living where I live, grazing animals are easier on our land than farming.

I live in the dryland area of Colorado, where the greatest ecological disaster of all time occurred - putting the Great Plains under the plow. This land DOES NOT HEAL. We get less than 20 inches of rain a year; once our land is screwed up, it stays that way.

A grazing herd of buffalo or cattle managed the same way that wild buffalo grazed is far better for this environment than any sort of farming because our land does not receive enough rainfall to recover from a plowing in less than a century. ( See Walter Prescott Webb in "The Great Plains"). There are places out here that the wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail Migration are still visible, okay? That's how fragile our ecosystem is, and yet the buffalo that grazed this area did not leave devastation in their wake. In fact, the land that we're grazing cattle and buffalo on (if the land is properly managed, as Lasater and Coleman Natural Beef are doing!) is HEALTHIER than the land being farmed or the land left fallow. Grazers are an essential part of this ecology.

I'm not arguing the "eating meat" part of your argument - I'm not getting into that with you. What I'm addressing is the ecology of animal pastoralism versus plant farming in a dry environment. I don't know where you live, but you can't make a blanket statement that farming is always better for the environment than cattle raising animals. Perhaps that's true in a wet climate, but in a dry climate, grazers literally keep the land alive.

Without grazing animals, there is no fertilization of our land. Dead plants desiccate here, rather than decompose. (It takes daily watering of my compost pile for it to compost. Otherwise, it just dries out.) There's no "compost" or hummus to our soil but what the grazing herds contributed. They also crop back the grasslands, so that new growth can survive when the rains come. Grasses, you may or may not know, don't grow from the top, like trees, but from the bottom. Grasses stop growing if they're not cut back, which is what grazers do. Grazers prevent erosion by creating "seeding holes" (AKA hoof prints) where water and seeds can collect. Biodiversity is highest on moderately grazed lands according to a Colorado State U. study in 1998 (lowest on ungrazed land, as it happens....)

The Lasater plan means that predators are not destroyed, they don't irrigate their land (they do have water stations for the cattle), they move the cattle daily and let the pastures recover; they only use native plants and police for invaders.... And the Lasaters have some of the healthiest land in the region. Their land is a wildlife sanctuary, as it happens. Nothing on their land is poisoned, trapped or hunted. This is their land:

and this is typical for the region: http://www.oldcolony.com/shared/get/lphoto.php?lid=469244&id=1

I've been out there when the rest of the state is brown with drought - because they have wise land management, their pastures stay green without irrigation. We don't know what the land looked like before humans got here, but the biology departments of our three major universities all agree that properly managed pastoral land is healthier than unmanaged land.

Contrast this to both organic and conventional farming methods. Both cause serious wind erosion; both are contributing to the depletion of the Ogallala aquifer that underlies much of the Great Plains (the aquifer may be empty by 2025 if measures aren't taken); organic farming is actually causing an increase in the number of Pine Beetles, which means we have more forest fires every year; conventional farming is causing a lot of pollution of air and water as well as oil depletion in terms of fertilizers and machinery. Both forms of farming require irrigation - we only get 14 -20 inches of rain a year, not enough to grow even the most drought resistant wheat, corn and soy.

People are not moving out of this region, though that would be best for the land - to return to pre-European migration population rates. But that's not going to happen. Therefore, our best solution for feeding these people is to eat the diet of the people who lived here before us - free range meat (buffalo or cattle managed to behave like buffalo) and traded grains/fruit/vegetables. We sure can't farm enough to feed us all.

Politicat (who does not eat beef, but for personal, physical reasons.)

[WMliberal]

12. red lobster. they advertise of limaugh's show. n/t

[cally]

14. Planet Hollywood

I wouldn't say that I ever liked them but on vacation my family wanted to eat there. :crazy: I refused and we all had a huge argument.

I don't buy at Walmart, I try to not buy other rw products.

[arwalden]

15. "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" (Owned by same folks who own SlimFast)

and they fired Whoopi Goldberg because she made a joke about "Bush".

[cprise]

27. I can't believe its not democracy

It's called 'Government', from the makers Crisco.

[ceile]

41. I haven't been to a Wal-Mart in over three years

I have also never bought (since I turned 21 anyways) any Coors products. My mother told me at a very young age that Coors was "evil"-meaning they gave to anti-abortion companies.

[proud patriot]

16. Blockbuster / Walmart/Sams club / All Banks / Levi Strauss

We belong to a credit union .

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

18. Wal-Mart, Exxon/Mobil, canceled MBNA credit cards

We do have a Sam's Club membership, but plan to switch to Costco with the move to Dallas.

[Bogus W Potus]

20. Already posted above, but I'll do so again down here.

I am not going to give up experiences I enjoy like shopping at Home Depot for tools just because they give a lot of money to Republicans.

I am also not going to stop listening to my classic rock station just because it happens to be owned by Clear Channel.

Life is too short to give up things you like.

[mvd]

22. Well, I pick bad offenders

I like quite a few other authors, so it's not too much of a negative thing for me.

[Bogus W Potus]

23. I see

I also eat at Domino's Pizza whom I know gives BIG money to anti-choice groups and Republicans.

Guilty as charged.

Ditto for being a GEICO client.

[CanuckAmok]

24. Midas Muffler, Coors, and Bose electronics.

Both are Rush advertisers, although Bose also advertises in Harpers and other progressive media.

Actually, I don't like Coors...but they're on the list anyway, for reasons I'm sure I don't need to explain.


Oh, also Wal-Mart, Shell Oil, and Exxon.

[cprise]

26. Dell, Microsoft

Cable Television, ExxonMobil, Walmart/Sams, Levis

...plus cutting back purchases i general.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

61. Actually Bose buys bulk time and wrote me an apology note for

the Limbaugh ads...

[CanuckAmok]

67. really? Cool.

I know most of these corps buy bulk and don't really care who's carrying their ads, but that's good to know because I want to get one of those Bose mini-home theatres when I move.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

25. I've boycotted Patricia Cornwall ever since I found out she was a Repuke

I used to be interested in her novels. Tom Clancy was another one I boycotted but he's now back on my "author" list ever since he wrote that book with Anthony Zinni and expressed reservations about the war


And I refuse to see any TV shows or movies with Shannon Doherty, Bo Derek, Dennis Miller, Steve Irwin, Patricia Heaton or a select few other people who have endorsed * or his agenda. But I've often found that the shows featuring these people as the main characters are shows I never really liked much in the first place so I guess the point is moot.

I still watch movies with Bruce Willis in them. I know Willis is a Repug but he's not an obnoxious Repug in the mould of the celebrities listed above and I enjoy some of his movies too much to give them up. And the same goes for people like Tom Selleck. I don't usually believe in boycotting TV shows or movies because of the actors or actresses in them but people like Miller and Heaton annoy me so much in their statements that I've chosen to make an exception

[fujiyama]

76. Movies

usually feature an ensemble cast of characters and being that so much of Hollywood is filled with liberals, you're bound to find at least a few in any movie. It wouldn't make too much sense to boycott, say Pulp Fiction (I use this as an example cuz it has Willis in it), because Samuel L Jackson is in it, and I know he's a liberal (or at least he was against the war), and I think Tarentino is good friends with Michael Moore.

[shimmergal]

29. Sharyn McCrumb.

Actually I don't know what her political affiliation is, but her authorial voice seems full of contempt for anyone who doesn't buy into the whole Repub. "success is all" mindset.

She's a good, clever writer though; I still read her mysteries sometimes but only library copies, 'cause I don't want to contribute to her royalties.

Wal-Mart is a toughie for me. It's the only place in this quadrant of the city where I can get groceries and other, mixed merchandise underneath the same roof. Sometimes I just don't feel (physically or time-wise) like I can manage to drive around, park & dart into three or four separate stores to buy everything on my shopping list. Still, I try to go there as seldom as possible.

[KamaAina]

65. I was wondering about her myself

time to go back into "PMS Outlaws" and find out where she bashes repukes as well as Dems.

I remember being a little worried for a few pages there, but I seem to recall that it pretty much evened out in the end.

I mean, the woman returned my email from her website, after all; would a freeper author ever do that?

[Placebo]

31. BOYCOTT BOYCOTTS!!!

52. BOYS AND COTS ROCK!

[WindRavenX]

32. Wal-Mart, Dominos

Wal-Mart is easy because I prefer Target anyway...but Dominos is a problem because my family orders there occasionally.
I usually order Papa John's. :9

[mvd]

60. Fortunately, I hate Dominos anyway

I almost always go to K-Mart instead of Wal-Mart, too. I'm not big on boycotts, but I thought I could do a couple to make a point. I haven't stopped using my Dell computer, for example. But when the computer gets obsolete and I need a new one, I don't think I'll choose a Dell - that's a change I can easily make.

[slutticus]

33. Wal-Mart

Well....I don't really like walmart......but I went there a lot. Now I go to Target

[LynneSin]

34. Mary Higgins Clark books will show up at a flea market

you can pick them up for 50cents, be able to read your favorite book and know that not one penny went to help fund republicans.

Me, I wish I was better at boycotting, but here are 2 things I've made an effort with doing:

Lancome - after I found out they advertised on the Hannity show I wrote them a letter and said I would never use their products again. NOw other than the Lancome product I still have leftover in my collection I'm pretty true to my word.

Slimfast & other stuff from their corporation: Nuff said

[Bridget Burke]

36. Actually, no.

Walmart's is a dump. I knew this before I knew about their business practices, so I was never tempted. I live in a big city with Costco, Target & numerous smaller stores.

Coors is dreadful beer, so it's never tempted me, either.

Star Pizza (local) is far better than Domino's & they deliver.

I never found Dennis Miller funny.

My few hardware needs can be met by Lowe's, not far from Home Depot. Or at a little neighborhood store.

I like Country music, but not the commercial dreck Nashville's pushing now. Lee Greenwood reeks & has always reeked, Toby Keith is young & needs to spend more time with Willie. I'll listen to older country, alternate country, etc. (Just for the record, I also listen to Los Lobos, The Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the Quintet of the Hot Club of France & an assortment of other combos.)

I believe in boycotting, but it doesn't count if you wouldn't go there anyway.

[SarahB]

37. Nestle

Their worst violation is trying to get mothers in developing countries without adequate drinking water to use baby formula. Breastmilk has natural antibiotic, anti-parasitic, and anti-fungal properties, and is a living substance. Formula is not. The main cause of infant mortality worldwide is diarrhea-- generally stemming from contaminated water. This is one of the primary causes.
They market formula (as something "western" and "modern") to people who have no understanding of microbiology or sanitation. Mothers use a little formula which reduces their milk supply (the more a baby drinks from it's mom, the more she will make), her supply is reduced causing her to use more formula, often downward spiraling into the baby getting no mother's milk at all. Not good.

http://www.babymilkaction.org/

74. Nestle bought Arrowhead Water so I gave that up too.

:hi: SarahBelle!

[SarahB]

83. Cool-- another one!

:hi: catzies!

[denverbill]

39. Walmart, Coors, and Bacardi.

[LynneSin]

45. I boycotted Coors before I knew the owner was a neo-puke nutjob

I mean - their products are just damn crappy tasting!

[neverborn]

64. BACARDI!?!?

nooooooooooooo~

[KamaAina]

70. 'Fraid so. They pretty much wrote the Helms-Burton Act

toughening the Cuba embargo to obscene extremes. Bacardi started out in Cuba and moved to Puerto Rico after Castro came to power.

The bottles I used to buy in largely Spanish-speaking upper Manhattan read "Casa Fundada en Cuba".

[fujiyama]

80. Oh please

Not Bacardi!

Damn! Coors I can live without, but Bacardi! I guess I'll have to go with Captain Morgans, or maybe I'll drink Smirnoffs (unless these are also RW companies).

[gpandas]

40. thinking of two threads...

just read the posts on dave matthews-freeper thing about how fucked up greg is for leaving dmb due to political concerns and now a thread like this. hmmmmm.

[liontamer]

42. Yep

Walmart since high school and recently Urban outfitters (owner is Rick Santorum's biggest supporter)

[mac56]

43. Everything related to James Lileks.

His website, his books, his newspaper column. It's a real sacrifice because I'd been a fan of his since he wrote for the Minnesota Daily (U of M newspaper) in the early 80s. But he's become a right-wing shill, and said some especially nasty things about Paul Wellstone. So I'm done with Lileks.

Add on edit: When I lived in MN I made a point to always catch his radio show. If he's even on radio anymore - don't know, don't care.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

46. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I order Domino's.

They started operating in Brazil recently. In other situation, it'd just be another pizza joint. Now, I hope they tank in an extremely painful way and lose a lot of money.

In general, I avoid megacorp products like the plague if there's a locally owned alternative. I do it in a quiet way, no bullhorn. Sometimes I casually say "I'd rather patronize a Brazilian company than an American megacorp" in conversation, but I don't go out of my way to steer the conversation in that direction.

Wal-Mart is coming in too, but it seems to be spinning wheels. If they ever open one anywhere near I live, I'll be badmouthing them to hell and back.

[KFC]

47. All Breast Pump Manufacturers

Corporate machines literally sucking out mother's milk. An abomination.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

54. Penis pumps as well

Although I totally love them.

[MissMillie]

48. I avoid products sold by companies owned by Phillip Morris

Thus far the only item I cannot find an acceptable substitute for is Oreo cookies.

I also avoid Wal-Mart.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

50. I avoid anything Nabisco for the same reason.

There's a kickass Brazilian manufacturer anyay -- Piraquê. Their factory is in Rio too.

[MissMillie]

53. Kraft, Kool-aid, Oscar Meyer, VeryFine, Cool Whip....

Breyers,... Phillip Morris owns a lot of companies.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

51. Krispy Kremes...

qualifiy as the only one I love and still boycott.

I do boycott many other businesses (Walmart, Domino's among others) but I don't love them, so it isn't too much skin off my teeth.

[noonwitch]

55. Domino's-not just for politics, but for the firing of Ernie Harwell

A crime against humanity, or at least against Tiger fans. Even worse, Monaghan hired Bo Schembeckler (legendary U of M football coach) specifically to do the firing. The first thing Mike Illitch did when he bought the team was re-hire Ernie, who retired a couple of years ago.

[regularguy]

56. Never been to Walmart...not planning on going.

Also Coors. Sure their politics are bad, but it's those good awful commercials that make me really hate them. At least Bud and Miller Lite see fit to sometimes make funny ads. "I love you, man!"

[canuckybee]

62. sorry

don't know how I managed it, but I posted on the wrong thread.

[Kellanved]

63. Ferrero

Nutella, Tic-Tacs, ...

A violently RW mega corp.

87. oh, well.... my last jar of nutella, then...

I'll have to figure out how to make it at home.

[Padraig18]

66. Wal-Mart.

Wouldn't spend a dime in one if I were next door to it; I'd drive 50 miles to buy something they were giving away.

[Magrittes Pipe]

68. Matcom.

DLC fucker!!!

:P

[maveric]

69. Carl's Jr.

For their idiotic, french bashing commercials before the Iraq invasion.
And I LOVE their $6.00 burgers too.

[ChoralScholar]

81. "This tastes like the burger I just paid $6 for at a sit-down restaurant!"

uhhh...

If you *just* ate at a sit-down restaurant, why are you at Carl's Jr?

:D

[BlackVelvetElvis]

71. K&W. No more home cooking.

Honestly, they gave money to Vernon Robinson. His latest ads are like he's running against Hillary Clinton. I wonder if all those African American and Latinos who work there know that.

[Gothic Sponge]

77. What am i not boycotting would be a shorter list.

[2Design]

78. Walmart, exxon, shell.....but explain to me....why not blockbuster and

why not MBNA.... although after applying for one of their credit cards many years ago... and was turned down... .I decided they are not someone I want any way... Starting to find others too.... they are like the mafia loan sharks of the 1920s.....they have all hiked up late fees and then crying about their loses....with very high interest rates....they like the drug companies are making record profits....

Walmart has been difficult....they have clothes for under $10 a lot and finances for me are really low.....so I go to kmart ....but then I wonder who owns kmart and who do they give to.....

exxon and shell...I only use if the tank is near empty but I usually plan ahead... not sure why others are not using them...but it seems I read years ago they are one of the major oil companies and if we buy from the others it keeps competition more fair

[fujiyama]

79. I can't stand

ordinary Coors so it doesn't matter. However, I do get pitchers of Killians with my friends and it's going to be hard to tell them I'm not going to be part of a pitcher.

However in certain situations if I were to drink on my own, I prefer to get beer that isn't owned by RW companies. If someone could suggest a great Irish Red beer /killians alternative, I'd appreciate it.

Other products which I'll avoid even more than I did anyways are Walmart (never shopped there because it isn't nearby anyways - plus we're members of Costco and after their labor practices, forget about it), Pizza Hut (I had that shit for the first time in years the other day and it was terrible - I'll go back to not eating it), Dominos (now that I know I'll avoid it just the same), and I'll try to avoid most of the other big chain resaurants which donate a large majority to pukes (I get taco bell and wendy's every once in a while - I'll try to avoid them).

Let's see, otherwise, I have a Meijers nearby (big chain in MI) and they donate to pukes. It's a convenient store and I do shop there because of that. Target also donates majority to pukes.

Let's face it, it's very difficult to boycott all those companies that donate to pukes, because so many do - and so many of these big corporations' products are difficult to avoid. I avoid what I can (certain places like Walmart deserve it), but I'm not sure about many others.

That said, if you have a decent alternative, I'd go with it though.

[Bridget Burke]

84. Where did you get the information about Target?

Do you have a link?

[fujiyama]

85. Here it is

Its the same link that was posted above in this thread:

[mac56]

88. Leinenkugel Red Lager beats Killian's all hollow.

Leinie is a subsidiary of Miller. Up till recently Miller was owned by Philip Morris, but is now part of South African Breweries (SABMiller is the new company name). For whatever other faults they have, Miller has always been a good union company.

[IcyPeas]

89. Dominos Pizza, Shell, Curves

All of them donate some profits to pro-life groups. I don't want to support that.
