Target – Don Boys https://donboys.cstnews.com Common Sense for Today Sun, 05 Mar 2023 04:46:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.29 Customers Will Turn the Other Cheek But Not Write Another Check for Evil! https://donboys.cstnews.com/customers-will-turn-the-other-cheek-but-not-write-another-check-for-evil https://donboys.cstnews.com/customers-will-turn-the-other-cheek-but-not-write-another-check-for-evil#respond Thu, 15 Apr 2021 16:51:44 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2832 According to the moderns, millennials, and malevolent, evil does not exist anymore. More subtlety and confusingly, they call good evil and evil good, and God warned us about that. He said, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…”

The Homosexual Lobby has belittled, bullied, badgered, and blackmailed non-thinking Americans and Canadians into accepting, approving, and even applauding their deadly homosexual lifestyle. We are expected to believe it is only an alternative lifestyle. You know, you love one way. I love another. It’s still love and who can deny, debate, and denigrate love? However, it is “love that dare not speak its name.” It is so vile that decent people did not even discuss it in polite society until recent years.

Today, because of the successful con job by homosexuals, America has developed an infatuation with the rude, the crude, and the lewd; however, average citizens are waking up and speaking out in defense of centuries of common sense and Bible teaching. Astute people don’t (with the wave of the hand) turn their backs on thousands of years of civilization.

We are striking back and hitting pro-homosexual firms in their cash register. As Christians, we will turn the other cheek but not write another check to support evil. It is not very smart to fund your own demise. We don’t tip the executioner to use a sharp ax to expedite a clean cut of our neck as some did in centuries past.

I don’t drink Coke or eat Girl Scout cookies watching professional sports. I hope you will do likewise. Anyway, that kind of stuff might send you to Heaven quicker than your scheduled departure. I will survive not reading National Geographic after they promoted transgenderism; besides, they still haven’t heard that evolution is false, a failure, and a fraud. Another reason they should shut down their presses and quietly disappear. Moreover, we can survive very well without rushing to get Target’s weekend specials. Furthermore, I would not go to Disney if the entrance fee were a dollar.

I think it is more than a dollar.

I am sure many people who don’t identify with Bible-believing Christians will also get involved with boycotting Target, Disney, Proctor and Gamble, etc. No doubt, we will pick up a few stray nuts and others who loaf on the fringe of every group, but we will have to live with that. I am willing to admit that not all the nuts are in the Homosexual Lobby. Some are in the church lobby, carry a Bible, and wear a silly grin—and maybe a silver cross around the neck. For sure, not all nuts are on trees. No doubt, some of the Repulsive Radical Religious Right will get involved. However, we will disavow them with the understanding that it is still not illegal to be a religious nut in America—until they start mixing the Kool-Aid.

If Christians are silent, where will the pressure come from to do right? Some tell us that boycotts are ineffective, and when they fail, it only makes us look foolish. However, my boycotts always succeed because I know they are not living on my dollar. Nevertheless, I’d rather be perceived as a fool and a failure than a follower of the wrong side in this cultural war.

Christians have a responsibility to live daily lives so that those around us will know we do not support evil causes. We are in a war, and except for the final outcome, no one is guaranteed to be on the winning side of every battle. One thing for sure, I don’t want to be on the sinning side! Wars of principle must be fought even if there are battle loses; moreover, there have been some very successful boycotts by pro-family groups.

Target officials met with American Family Association leaders that produced a friendly but flawed, final, and fatal conclusion: Target will continue its insane, insensitive, and indecent policy of permitting make-believe women in real women’s restrooms and changing rooms! Target sees it as noble to provide admittance to restrooms for men who pretend to be women, and real women must live with it. Target officials are unconcerned with safety, privacy, and decency. Making people feel good is preferred over women’s safety!

The loonies have taken over. Such a business deserves to go belly up, and other companies—toying with twisted tolerance—may get the message that a gold star from the LGBT crowd is not worth going bankrupt.

The Target boycott should be permanent and stopped only after its burial. I won’t stop my boycott with rumors of its funeral, and after all, I believe in resurrection.

Christians are commanded to be salt and light in this world. The function of salt is mainly negative since it prevents decay, while the function of light is positive. Light always, without exception, drives away the darkness. Christians are failing this generation by not being the preserving salt and the prevailing light. Consequently, Americans are asking, “Where am I going in this handbasket?”

I think I know America’s destination.

As a Christian, everything I have belongs to God. I am a steward of all I possess and will one day give an account to God of how I used His resources. If the culture wars are won by the permissive crowd, it will change America forever. It will mean the killing of more innocent babies. It will mean general acceptance of immoral behavior that will destroy lives, damage our healthcare system, and deny Christians the right to express their faith in the marketplace. I refuse to leave such a society to my grandchildren without taking a stand–even if I fail.

We live in a society that refuses to recognize right from wrong; consequently, we must choose the right and oppose the wrong. However, opponents tell us that right and wrong cannot be established but are arbitrary. To those people, the Bible is not a guide for human behavior. After all, it condemns most people’s lifestyles; so shallow people think by not believing the Bible, they are free from its condemnation. The message from the media and many weaklings in the clergy is that God is dead, morality is irrelevant, and perversion is in everyone’s future. So, why fight it?

I choose to fight.

We will also have to live with some in the Christian community who will oppose our activities as being unchristian, unwise, and unnecessary. Furthermore, some asinine critics will use the Bible (which they don’t believe is trustworthy!) to tell us we are wrong! It is a misuse of English to call religious leaders leaders if they don’t lead! Usually, they are weaklings masquerading as leaders. Most Christians want a leader with hair on his chest, a working brain in his head, an understanding heart in his bosom, and a stiff bone in his back. Most loosey-goosey, effervescent Evangelicals are missing all four but do have a small yellow streak up their backs where a spine should be.

Astute, awake, and alarmed Christians will no longer be kicked around without expressing outrage by withholding our credit cards and cash. You remember cash; it’s a four-letter word not used much anymore.

Each person can use his influence to encourage others to apply pressure, kindly, of course. So business owners take note that Christians have learned something from Blacks, feminists, homosexuals, Hispanics, socialists, and others. We will be heard and will stop funding businessmen who kick us around as they accept our money; however, at the same time, we will never be unkind, unruly, untruthful, or unchristian—which includes attacking, looting, and burning.

When the next business owner decides to dance with the dandies of the LGBT lobby, we will not harass the business or try to force anyone to get involved. However, I will remind them that Target’s distress, decline, if not demise, was self-inflicted.

Don’t be neutral during the biggest battle America faces. Take a stand. Win or lose, I would rather lose standing with the right crowd than win standing with the wrong crowd. By doing the right thing, I will, in the end, be on the winning side.

For sure, win or lose, I will not be on the sinning side.

Boycott Any Business, Television Show, Sports Team, or Product That is Pro Homosexual, Pro Transgender, or Pro Black Lives Matter! https://donboys.cstnews.com/boycott-any-business-television-show-sports-team-or-product-that-is-pro-homosexual-pro-transgender-or-pro-black-lives-matter https://donboys.cstnews.com/boycott-any-business-television-show-sports-team-or-product-that-is-pro-homosexual-pro-transgender-or-pro-black-lives-matter#respond Mon, 12 Apr 2021 23:50:23 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2828 I am determined to not permit inferiors to browbeat, bamboozle, belittle, bully, or blackmail me into admitting to the possibility they are on the high road, thereby suggesting I, and people of common sense, are on the low road. I will not agree to their positions, vote for them, watch or listen to their vacuous preachments on television or radio, or knowingly spend a dollar that may accrue to them.

Boycott the losers, leftists, and loonies!

Boycotts work, as has been proven in recent years, so it’s time for principled people to flex their muscles as they refuse to use credit cards and cash to support anti-family, anti-American, anti-white, and anti-common sense positions.

Boycotts became common after an 1873 event in Ireland when a retired British army officer Charles Boycott became the agent for a large estate in Ireland. It was terrible timing because the farmers were being squeezed with low wages and high taxes. They formed the Land League to seek relief from their economic problems but received no help from the new agent. Boycott refused to lower land rents causing the residents and farmers to refuse to speak to him, provide him laundry service, sell him supplies, or work his fields. Even his mail carrier threatened him. The ploy spread across Ireland, and newspapers referred to the tactic by his last name boycott.

In 2016, Conservatives and Christians boycotted Target for its support of transgenderism, and a news headline revealed, “Target Retailer Hits $15 Billion Loss Since Pro-Transgender Announcement.” That is a result of more than 1.5 million families who pledged to stop shopping at Target. Good, but don’t backslide.

Target officials know that more than half of the American people detest their support of the LGBT crowd and are paying the price for doing so. We need to convince business people that they can believe what they want and support whom they want, but decent people will destroy them if they become activists. And I mean literally destroy them.

J.C. Penney is hurting after they jumped into the cold, cold pool of anti-family commercialism by partnering with Ellen DeGeneres on a television advertising campaign and promoted same-sex couples. The giant chain is still hanging on. I am doing my best to see them fall.

After months of pressure from an anti-gay group, McDonald’s withdrew from the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. One of McDonald’s vice presidents, a homosexual activist, “stepped down” from his position.

Boycotts are not unchristian or un-American. Each of us has the right to decide how to spend our money. It is one of our most basic rights. But Big Government has determined to guide us in our spending to support same-sex “marriage,” transgenderism, pro-BLM racism, any sexual aberration as long as it is consensual, etc.

Not this American.

We are told it is hate not to support the above, but that is a ploy used successfully by leftists when they can’t win in a discussion, dispute, or debate. If you permit your opponent to define the terms, you have no chance for success. No one wants to be a hater or intolerant or offensive; however, it is none of those things to tell people the truth. Starting with the proposition that perversion is wrong because the Bible (the only absolute guide for human existence and happiness) says it is, we are on the right side of this vocal, vital, and volatile issue. Also, thousands of years of history conclusively prove that perversion has always proved fatal to civilization, culture, or community. Think Sodom and Gomorrah.

A businessperson has a constitutional and human right to run his business the way he wants as long as there is no fraud involved. However, since the 1964 Civil Rights Act, a free American business owner no longer has the right to choose his customers, pay as much as he wants, stay open the hours he wants, and provide or not provide various benefits. That part of the bill was incredibly un-American, and Conservatives were right to oppose it; however, southern Democrats opposed it because it would eliminate segregation in public schools.

The law did far more than that.

After 60 days (not 83 days as a New York paper reported) of filibustering, the Senate passed the landmark bill. A June 20, 1964, New York Daily News   article about the passage said 46 Democrats and 27 Republicans favored the bill, while 21 Democrats, all from Southern or border states, opposed it along with six Republicans. Goldwater, who was to become the GOP Presidential candidate later that year, said he opposed the “centralizing of government in Washington.”

Goldwater was right, and that’s why the government runs every aspect of our lives and tells you how to run your business today. Americans gave a lot to get a little.

We’ve come a long way, baby.

When American businessmen refused to oppose and disobey infringement on their business rights and capitulated to government mandates, then that set the stage for the massive abuse via the Homosexual Lobby. Big government now tells every businessman what they must believe and whom they must serve.

In a free republic, a citizen has the right to provide service only to people with red hair since they have a right to be stupid—and go bankrupt. Sure, business people have a right to be stupid with the corresponding right to go bankrupt. I’ll help them.

Americans have been exposed to all kinds of business owners who have arrogantly thrust their own radical views upon others. Therefore, it is time for ordinary people to close their wallets and not use their plastic, thereby putting the offenders out of business. Suppose we don’t put them out of business. In that case, we can still reduce their profits, thereby sending a clear message: if you go public with anti-family, anti-heterosexual, or anti-American positions, then it will cost you dearly.

When a business owner takes a public position that is anti-family, anti-American, or anti-biblical, then he or she deserves to be a very lonely person because so many potential customers refuse to purchase his goods or services.

I have spent carefully for many years, although sometimes we may support a business not knowing they proudly wear the LGBT label. No sane person should purchase Coke (who not only supports perversion but also demands we “be less white.” Nor will I watch any major league ball games or watch any movie or television show that promotes perversion or has actors outspoken for such nefarious activities. I canceled National Geographic after they promoted and defended transgenderism. I now boycott NBC because their main anchor Lester Holt said, “we don’t need to hear both sides to define truth: Fairness is overrated.”

No, Lester is overrated and should be doing the 5:00 morning farm report in Smithfield, Iowa. I’ll do my part to see he gets that promotion. I think leftists have overdosed on liberal pills.

Ordinary people need to decide that we are in a battle and take measures to win by refusing to patronize any business that supports an issue that is perverse or promotes abortion and anti-family issues. We should not wait for some group to start the boycott ball rolling, and when enough of us immediately refuse to patronize such businesses, we inform them and others why we are no longer customers. Even the dullest and most ardent leftist will get the message. Most of them will understand that there is a connection between their anti-family positions and an empty cash register.

But then most Liberals and all leftists are not the brightest people around.

The top companies that support the LGBT lobby are 3M, Kellogg Company, Hewlett-Packard, eBay, General Electric, Disney, Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks, Home Depot, Ford, J. C. Penny, Procter and Gamble, IBM, and the Girl Scouts. We can’t know every company that supports anti-family issues, but we can make the leading ones feel our muscle. You may be locked into one or two of these companies, but you can often make decisions to hinder the cause of perversion and help the cause of decency. You don’t have to support Home Deport; usually, Lowe’s is next door or down the street. You don’t have to buy a Ford since there are so many other good cars. You don’t have to visit Disney; besides, they are way too expensive.

The LGBT lobby lists those businesses that do not support their cause, and Exxon was number one on the unfriendly gay list, followed by Dollar General, Family Dollar, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and others. We can all support those companies.

Others will tell us that they can’t be involved in a boycott because it is not right to demand a business owner serve them, as did the Civil Rights demonstrators in the 1960s. But that’s the point: we don’t want them to serve us. We want to serve them! We want to convince businessmen that it is a stupid decision to antagonize most of their customer base. We want to help them, not hurt or harass them. An aggressive and successful boycott is “tough love.”

We are determined to remind all who will listen that we are the people who love homosexuals and transgenders enough to tell them the truth about perversion. We are in the ministry of nudging and pushing other decent people to get involved.

Furthermore, no lucid individual says it is wrong for a person to be selective in spending his own money. If he does not like the business owner, does not like the service, or excessive charges, etc., he can choose to spend his money elsewhere. Why is that perfectly legitimate if done by one person but wrong if multiple people do the same thing?

Our message to all businesses: You have a right to support whatever cause you like, but Americans still have a right to refuse to patronize your store. Get in bed with the LGBT crowd, and we will do our best to put you out of business. Choose your friends wisely.

I also don’t watch any professional sports since they are pro-China and anti-American.

I have no guarantee about the raging culture war as to what Americans will do. Still, if we lose this war, it seems we should change our national symbol from eagle to buzzard at the rate America is decaying morally.

Target Boycott: Keep it Going into Bankruptcy! https://donboys.cstnews.com/target-boycott-keep-it-going-into-bankruptcy https://donboys.cstnews.com/target-boycott-keep-it-going-into-bankruptcy#comments Thu, 19 May 2016 16:15:20 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1444 Recently Target officials met with American Family Association leaders that produced a friendly but flawed, final, and fatal conclusion: Target will continue its insane, insensitive, and indecent policy of permitting make-believe women in real women’s restrooms! Target sees it as noble to provide restrooms for men who don’t know they are men to be in the presence of women rather than a safe place for women. Making people feel good is preferred over safety! The loonies have taken over. Such a business deserves to go belly up.

More than a million people have signed a petition to boycott Target but I believe the boycott should be continued even if they capitulate. I think the math will prevail: the boycott will grow, Target’s parking lots will become empty, their stock will continue to plummet, shareholders will rebel, and Target officials will cave. Of course, they will justify it but they will relent but not repent. I say, “Keep the boycott in place until Target goes the way of numerous businesses that went belly up.” That will be a clear signal to other businesses to not climb in bed with the LGBT crowd. Pun intended.

Christians are commanded to be salt and light in this world. The function of salt is largely negative since it prevents decay while the function of light is positive. Light always, without exception, drives away the darkness. Christians are failing this generation by not being the preserving salt and the prevailing light.

We are at war, and except for the final outcome, no one is guaranteed to be on the winning side of every battle. One thing for sure, I don’t want to be on the sinning side! Wars must be fought even if they are not won; moreover, there have been some very successful boycotts by pro-family groups. The Target boycott should be permanent.

Astute, awake, and alarmed Christians will no longer be kicked around without expressing our outrage by withholding our credit cards and our cash. You remember cash; it’s a four-letter word not seen much anymore.

When the next business owner decides to dance with the dandies of the LGBT lobby, we will not harass the business or try to force anyone to get involved. However, I will remind them of Target’s demise: business suicide. Is a gold star from the LGBT crowd worth going bankrupt?

Target Must be Destroyed–Boycotted into Bankruptcy! https://donboys.cstnews.com/target-must-be-destroyed-boycotted-into-bankrupcy https://donboys.cstnews.com/target-must-be-destroyed-boycotted-into-bankrupcy#respond Mon, 02 May 2016 02:43:50 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1427 Every time Cato the Elder (born 234 B.C.) spoke to the Roman Senate, whatever the subject, he ended each speech with, “And Carthage [on the coast of North Africa] must be destroyed.” After many years, Carthage was defeated and destroyed. Carthage had been defeated twice before but quickly rebuilt, revived, and returned to threaten the Roman Republic. So Cato thought it best to destroy them for good. This was accomplished in the Third Battle of Carthage in 146 BC, and the cities’ entire remaining population was sold into slavery, consequently it never again posed a threat to Rome.

Target must be destroyed, not just boycotted and humbled into submission regarding their love affair with the LGBT crowd. Target’s statement said, “We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity,” the retailer said. “Everyone deserves to feel like they belong.” No, everyone deserves to be protected and have privacy; and the situation of sexual predators with a camera in female restrooms is not protection or privacy.

Now, there should be no mistake about Target’s rights in this matter. They have every right to do exactly what they are doing. I have advocated many times for the right of business people to run their business without government interference. They should be able to open and close when they desire, hire whomever they please, sell to whomever they please, pay any amount they want, and fire anyone for any reason whenever they choose. This is assuming there is no contract. That is the way America used to be. Moreover, I have every right to disagree with all their decisions, despise all their products and have the right to tell all my friends that it would be a wise decision, in my opinion, to never shop there again. That is also freedom and it does not conflict with any biblical principle.

I support the present boycott of Target; however, it is not a winning strategy. If we hold to the boycott and it grows with intensity until Target’s parking lot is almost empty then Target’s CEO will be forced to back down, but we will have only won a temporary victory. My desire is that Target should be destroyed even if they relent (not the same as repent) and ask to be accepted back into decent society again. However, I say that there should not be a rush back through their doors as if Target had not declared war on our women and girls.

I don’t want to be misunderstood. I do not agree with Rome’s total war of elimination at Carthage, but we should pursue the Target boycott all the way to bankruptcy! In our “war” with Target, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Ford, Disney, and hundreds more, we should not be motivated by hate or self-righteousness but by principle: those groups chose the wrong side in this cultural war; and they must take the consequences. For sure, I want my grandchildren and others to know what side I was on; and, with Target, I want their failure to be an example for others since I am interested in victory not a truce.

Critics will suggest that that is unchristian since the theme of the Bible is redemption; however, that is for persons, not entities. Others are free to rush back to Target but I choose not to do so, even if Target’s CEO weeps copious tears, throws dirt over his head, and rips his Brooks Brothers’ suit on national television. I believe the boycott should not cease! At least if we are serious about winning this cultural war. After a few years, if Target walks the walk I might reconsider my decision. Others will choose to make various decisions which is everyone’s right. And it might help in my decision if their checkout ladies started dropping a KJV Bible into each shopping bag.

When considering the status of America, the power of the LGBT lobby, and the brainwashing of Americans, I believe the best procedure is to sacrifice a business–that frankly does not deserve any consideration–and leave its wreckage along the business highway as a warning to others: don’t think you can disregard the people whose ancestors build this nation–without paying a price.

People have a right to expect God to fulfill His promise of redemption but businesses don’t have that right. When Target goes belly up, it will send a loud message to other businesses that it is not wise to use perversion to antagonize principled people.

Numerous businesses need to get the message that decent people will not accept perversion as normal or a female restroom being used by a man who thinks he is a female. If a business wants to be LGBT friendly, that is one thing but to take an aggressive, asinine, and arrogant anti-family position as Target has done, is another.

Let me assure everyone that the road to America’s moral garbage dump is paved with bad intentions. The Perversion Lobby wants to destroy your way of life. A successful boycott is a way to make a difference instead of whining about our “mistreatment.”

Hey, even a dog knows the difference in being stumbled over and kicked around. We have been kicked too many times and we expect acknowledgement and respect as we make our purchases. We will take public action to make the anti-family crowd feel our muscle at their cash registers. It’s a matter of principle. If Target goes bankrupt, it will be a lesson to others that they reaped what they sowed and it will be an example to others not to jump on the LGBT bandwagon.

Even the dullest of business leaders should get the message: choose your friends carefully.

I hope and pray that this boycott is as permanent as Rome’s success at Carthage.

Target is the Target: Boycott! https://donboys.cstnews.com/target-is-the-target-boycott https://donboys.cstnews.com/target-is-the-target-boycott#respond Fri, 29 Apr 2016 13:48:35 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1424 The LGBT pressure group is a scab on the face of society. It has bullied, badgered, and blackmailed non-thinking, docile Americans and Canadians into accepting, approving, and even applauding their perverted lifestyle. Or is that death style? The Bible says “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…” That is where we are today because of the successful con job by homosexuals in collusion with the media and academia.

Much of America has developed an infatuation with the rude, the crude, and the lewd in music, movies, literature, art, and television; however, average citizens are waking up and speaking out in defense of centuries of common sense and Bible teaching. We are striking back and hitting pro-homosexual firms in their cash register. As Christians, we will turn the other cheek but not pay another check. It is not very smart to fund your own demise or to feed a buzzard that is determined to peck out your eyes.

Target has decided to continue its slide into further support of degeneracy by taking the side of cross-dressing men who are so confused that they think they are women. Or are so stupid as to think sane people will permit them to enter restrooms and changing rooms with little girls and women.

Target’s April 19th corporate announcement declared that “inclusivity is a core belief at Target,” and that the retailer stands “for equality and equity, and strive[s] to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day.” However, they totally dismissed, denigrated, and denied the right to privacy and protection of innocent and often helpless females. Hypocrites control Target.

Target also made an insane business decision: they will capitulate to less than 2% of Americans and anger, antagonize, and alienate 98% of potential customers. The dummies deserve to go belly up.

Americans have responded overwhelming with a boycott of Target. The word “boycott” comes from an 1873 incident in Ireland when retired British army Captain Charles Boycott became agent for a large estate in Ireland. It was bad timing because the farmers were being gouged with low wages and high taxes. They had formed the Land League to seek relief from their financial burdens but received no help from the new agent. Boycott refused to lower land rents causing the residents and farmers to refuse to speak to him, provide him laundry service, sell him supplies, or work his fields. Even his mail carrier threatened him. The ploy spread across Ireland and newspapers referred to the tactic by his last name: boycott.

All Americans still have the right to boycott and freedom to take their business anywhere. You can decide that you will only patronize an atheist if you want. Or, you may choose to only purchase from a Baptist or Buddhist or Baháist if you want, or from any religionist from Anglicanism to Zoroastrianism. You have that right. However, it would be no surprise if the amateur golfer, acting as our sitting president, might be convinced by his buddies down at the Down Low Club to force us to switch to homosexual-friendly businesses. As for me, I will fight rather than switch!

The day may soon arrive when we are told what kind of automobile to purchase or what kind of cereal or milk to purchase. After all, some Californians are now told that they cannot smoke in their own homes. New York City outlawed large drinks, while all Americans are told what kind of light bulb to purchase and even how much water can be in our toilet! And you thought this was still a free America! You are dreaming. But generally, we can still spend our money the way we choose. I choose to not support pro-homosexual businesses; however, those who scream the loudest about tolerance will not tolerate my taking that position! After all, toleration has its limits. The LGBT crowd and their acolytes are the biggest hypocrites in America. But to tell that truth is “hate.”

Principled people should not need someone to organize a boycott of businesses that choose to support vile causes. We should be so sensitive that we decide on our own to be selective in where we spend our money. But it seems most Christian Americans are too busy or lazy to think for themselves so this boycott will prompt them into action.

We stopped shopping at Target, Sears, and J.C. Penney many years ago because those businesses climbed into bed with the LGBT crowd. I stopped drinking Coke, Pepsi, and similar drinks fifty years ago because I am convinced they are poison; but, if that were not the case, I would really not drink Coke after a Super Bowl ad flaunting their support for perversion or drink Pepsi because of their LGBT support. I am suggesting that all sane people boycott firms that grovel at the feet of homosexual lobbyists. That includes the Girl Scouts that now pander to feminists and lesbians; so I will sit down and NOT drink a Coke and NOT eat Girl Scout cookies. Ahh, yes, we still have some freedoms left (for now) and boycott is one of them.

A boycott is usually considered threatening to a business so can any Christian legitimately participate in such action that results in that kind of pressure? One must first prove to himself whether a boycott amounts to force and if it is to be allowed. Most people realize that if they don’t go to work tomorrow, they will be fired or at least not be paid. That is a mild form of force; however, it is legitimate. It is not wrong for your employer to tell you that you will be fired if you do it again.

In a commercial exchange, the buyer is almost always in control. He decides whether he will purchase the item or service and how much he is willing to pay for it. That is coercion (force, compulsion, pressure) that tends to produce a lower price.

Not only are Christians to prod people to do right, we are to pressure them when they do wrong. The Bible commands us to “shun” some (II Tim. 2:16); and to “turn away” from others (II Tim. 3:5); then “mark them . . . avoid” those who are not doctrinally correct (Rom. 16:17); furthermore, we are to “receive them not into your house neither bid them Godspeed…who do not hold to the doctrine of Christ (II John 10). We are even told to not be involved with and to separate from Christians who walk in disobedience (II Thes. 3:6). At times, we are to “come out from among” compromisers and evil doers (II Cor. 6:17). That would require all who are members of an unbiblical church or denomination to leave that group. That means leaving family and friends and joining a fellowship that teaches truth. That is coercion and it means boycott activities are scriptural.

While all businesses have the right to choose depravity over decency even though they present a very pro-family image, sane people can see through their duplicity. After all, it is not illegal to be a hypocrite! If so, Washington, D.C. would be a ghost town! Such businesses may also go bankrupt but that too is their right.

Going bankrupt is still, at this moment, legal although that could change too.
