Why I will be doing ALL my Christmas shopping (that I do not do online) at WALGRENS...

They're BACK!

The Wonderful people at the Americam Family ASSociation are back again, targeting (and in some cases THREATENING) companies that do not cram Christmas down the throats of...well...anyone who either does not ahere to the Christian faith (as proscribed by the Neck-less WIldmons), people respectful of other beliefs, or folks just sick and tired of 24-hour ho-ho-ho.

This year's main target....the wonderful folks at America's Drug Store

Yesterday (Tuesday), Walgreens placed a 24-page circular in newspapers all across America. It had all the festive markings of that day known as...Holiday?
It's true! At Walgreens, they advertise "Holiday Candy," "Holiday Gift Tags," "Holiday Gift Wrap," "Holiday Decor," "Holiday Accessories," "Holiday Nuts and Snacks" and "Holiday Hats and Stockings." But no Christmas! In total, Walgreens used the term "holiday" 36 times, rather than using "Christmas."

(Wow...these people have so much time on their hands.  i wonder how much they pay the word counters....)

Oh, the trees advertised in their circular? It's just "Prelit" trees.

(Oh that's nice...now I don't have to risk electrocution..)

Go to Walgreens' website and you can shop their "Holiday Shop" and take advantage of their "Holiday Shipping." If you want Christmas, it's not there.

(uh...doo-fi, it's there...as well as Hannukah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, and just plan "gimme my stiff on the 25th.  Ever heard of RESPECT, morons?)

At Walgreens, Christmas doesn't exist! Walgreens wants you to do your "Christmas" shopping with them, while refusing to recognize that Christmas even exists.
Walgreens doesn't want to offend non-Christians by using the word Christmas. The fact that they're censoring the use of Christmas and might offend Christians by doing so seems to be of no importance.

TAKE ACTION

(Actually, this is OUR action..)

1. DO NOT Sign ANY pledge to boycott Walgreens this Christmas season.

2. Call Walgreens' Customer Service at 1-800-289-2273 and let them know you will BUY AS MUCH STUFF AS POSSIBLE their stores this Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzah/Whatever, and THANK THEM for recognizing that there is more than one holiday being celebrated at this time of the year.  Especially thank them if you are a Christian, for respect for other faiths is what God and His Son commands us to do.

3. AFA has released its annual "Naughty or Nice" list of retailers for 2011. Find out how other stores stand in the War on Christmas. (actually, I'll save you the trouble...these are the companies that are NOT being held hostage by the AFA (as well as Bill O'REALLY's private war on repect...

Banana Republic
Barnes & Noble
Foot Locker
Gap Stores
L.L. Bean
Limited Brands
Office Depot
Old Navy
Radio Shack
Staples
Supervalu (Albertson's and Lucky)

As well as....

Oh..and next time you are at www.afa.net, you MIGHT want to send them a message letting them know that, as a Christian organization, there are, for instance, there are about 49 million human beings who are suffering through poverty this Christmas.  Your time may be better spent helping them.

Happy holidays.

WIldmon Watch: Pepsi Capitulates

Another sad chapter in the never-ending saga of one man's battle against common sense and decency. 

For months, Rev. Donald Wildmon (affectionatly called "NoNeck" in these bloggings" and his American Family ASSociation have been ridig Pepsico because it committed the cardinal sin of actually giving money to GLBT-positive groups like Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).  The ordered a boycott of Pepsico products.

That meant I drank more Pepsi than I usually do.

But now it seems that Pepsi has, as many have, bowed-down to King No-Neck:

PepsiCo practices reflect change; AFA suspends boycott
February 12, 2010
American Family Association (AFA) has suspended its boycott of PepsiCo. After monitoring the company for several months, AFA is satisfied the company has withdrawn its major financial contributions to gay activist groups.

AFA launched a boycott of PepsiCo after the company made $500,000 donations to Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) in 2008. Records from PepsiCo, HRC and PFLAG indicate repeat donations did not occur in 2009.

AFA President Tim Wildmon said more than 500,000 people signed the Boycott PepsiCo Pledge.

Wildmon said a few minor issues remain, and AFA will continue to bring these to the attention of PepsiCo. “We feel we have made our point," he said. "Boycotts have been a last resort for us at AFA, and the PepsiCo boycott was started to address issues of concern to us – especially the promotion of the homosexual agenda in the culture. AFA will continue to challenge major U.S. companies to remain neutral in the culture wars rather than to use their resources to promote controversial issues.”

What else can be said?  How do you fight ignorance when it seems that ignorance has become the rule of the day?  When a country seems to accept the lie rather than the truth.

And where were the truth-tellers to fight this man.  I seem to be the only person going after this false prophet.  What...do you think just because a non-conservative is in the White House, turds like Wildmon should be ignored? By now, non-hetros should know that they do not truly have a friend in the White House (unless a certain Executive Order is being crafted as we speak, which we doubt.).  Am I the only one who is exposing Donald and Tim Wildmon for the would-be Klansman that they are?

Take Roy Moore (or as we called him when he was Cheif Justice on the Alabama Supreme Court, Judge "Dolemite (because his name is similar to Dolemite's creator, Rudy RAY Moore)."  This is the man who not only wanted to place a two-ton rock in front of the SCOAL front yard, but intemated in a anti-gay ruling that he was not that much against excecution of gays.  This is the man who has founded The Foundation of Moral Law which seemingly thinks of the separation of chruch and state as an inconvienent joke.

Now, not only is this clown running for Governor of this state, and that he is rocking the TeaParty house at their functions, but his foundation is planning a rally this weekend, seemingly to support a second Southern split from the Union.

Now should one worry if Moore should wind up as Governor?  Yes.  He's not leading the polling....college chancellor Brad Byrne leads AL Republicans with 20% of folks willing to vote for him...Moore is a close second with 17%. 

Add that to the fill-in-the-blank phobes populating the Tea Bag parties, plus the efforts of Wildmon and hsi bunch and things do not look good.

And unless the inetellegent not only step up defeats Wildmon and his ilk, kith, and kin, it will only get worse.

Maybe Ford didn't caveafter all....


Reality Check: Ford Still Pro-Gay Post-Boycott

If you're not a very careful reader, you might think that Ford Motor Co. has agreed to stop marketing its cars to gay consumers, and to generally cease and desist any activities meant to benefit or win favor with gay people.
That's because the ferociously anti-gay American Family Association, which has been boycotting Ford for two years now, unilaterally declared victory on Monday.

"I have some good news for you!" wrote chairman Donald E. Wildmon in a message to members. "AFA is suspending its two year boycott of Ford Motor Company. The conditions of the original agreement presented in fall 2005 have been met."

Those conditions, as laid out at the time by AFA, included demands that Ford stop advertising in gay-focused media outlets and stop donating to groups that support gay marriage or gay pride parades. Wildmon's announcement was covered by dozens of media outlets including BusinessWeek, Brandweek and the Chicago Tribune.

But Ford spokesman Jim Cain insists the automaker had made no such promises. "I can tell you there was not a negotiated settlement to this boycott," he says, sounding somewhat mystified by AFA's triumphalism.

While Ford has scaled back some of the marketing and philanthropy AFA objects to, any such decreases were merely part of a broader retrenchment in response to dismal market conditions, says Cain. "We've been in real financial difficulties. There's been reduced spending in lots of areas."

But, he adds, Ford continues to be involved with groups such as PFLAG and Human Rights Campaign, both of which agitate for gay marriage.

In that case, what made AFA think it had won? An AFA spokeswoman said Wildmon was traveling, and she was unable to speak on his behalf. "The only information I have is what's in the press release."

Is Ford Capitulating to the NeoXians?


This appeared in e-mail this morning:

March 8, 2007

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as
possible by forwarding it to your entire email list of family and friends.

Ford dropping public support for the homosexual
agenda?


Dear Donald,
It appears that Ford Motor Company, in response to
AFA's boycott, is silently dropping public support for the homosexual
agenda. Here's why.

For years, Ford has advertised in the homosexual publications OUT and
The Advocate. Since January Ford has not had any advertising in the
magazines. In addition, Ford no longer sponsors the Gay & Lesbian Alliance
Against Defamation Media Awards, which they have sponsored for
years.

When we looked at all the other homosexual events Ford has sponsored in
the past, Ford was nowhere to be found.

The homosexual groups have remained silent about Ford's moves, fearful
that other companies may follow Ford's lead. Since the boycott began, not
a single homosexual group has publicly supported Ford.

However, it could be that the homosexual groups have agreed to be
treated as second-class citizens by Ford, continuing to get money from Ford but
agreeing not to publicly acknowledge Ford's support.

In February, Ford's sales dropped 13.5% compared to a year ago. Ford's
sales have consistently gone down since the boycott began.

But now is not the time to back off! Now is the time to support
the boycott even more. Other companies are watching Ford to see if the
boycott is successful. That is why we need to give it another boost!

Take Action
1. E-mail a letter to CEO Alan Mulally asking if Ford
still financially supports the homosexual agenda. 2. Sign the Boycott Ford
Pledge if you haven't already done so. 3. Forward this to friends and family.
For more information on Ford’s support of the homosexual agenda, go to
BoycottFord on the Web.

think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small
gift?
Thank you for caring enough to get involved.
Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman
American Family
Association


Your are right, Dr. Wildmon, now is NOT the time to back down. You see, THIS BLOG and its author HAVE supported For on this from the get-go. And the reason, you want to see non-heterosexuals......read non-Christians....better stated: Christians that do not support your closed-minded views dead.
As a CHRISTIAN organization, I have not heard one word of sorrow, anger, or indignation concerning the many who have died at the hands of homophobes simply because they were gay or bisexual. Your entire motis operendi is to destroy people and thoughts that do not correspond to yours.
And, in terms of what you seem to be working against, it seems you, Dr. Wildmon, may be the pervert, pointing out "salacious" scenes from TV series, the lovingly posting them on your website and YouTube.
There is still time to let Ford know that they should not back down, but continue recognizing non-hetro people as humans....humans who buy cars....lots of them
You can also contact Donald Wildmon and AFA here: http://www.afa.net/contact.asp. You can also call them at (662) 844-5036 and respectfully DEMAND that they make public their books so we can see how their operation is funded.
And contact Congress....I know they have more pressing matters these days....and let them know you want and inquiry into whether the AFA is adhering to the spirit of their 5013c tax-exemption: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
It is time we stand up against this. Long past time.
