I think I have figured out why the conservative movement will never win in America. It's because Conservatives will talk a good talk, protest for a bit, and then go back to their lives. After the Paula Deen "n" word controversy I swore I wouldn't watch the Food Network again and when Walmart dumped her I moved on to Target. Now Target has dumped her and I will not go there. Now, I like to pay less for what I buy and found myself thinking about when I could go back to buying at these stores. BOOM! it hit me...never, unless they apologize for their hypocrisy. I wonder how many people who boycotted the Food Network have gone back to watching or sneak a peak from time to time. I wonder how many people will really pay a bit more for food and clothes and go to different stores for those things rather than giving in and going back to Walmart.
If we really want change we have to do more than just talk the talk. Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Food Network, etc. don't believe we will affect them, and justly so because we don't stick to our guns when it matters. It takes more than words to make changes. Just look at the progressives. I'm putting a call out to those who are offended, not so much by Paula Deen being fired (after all she supports all these mindless boobs) but because their hypocrisy knows no bounds, and if she can be taken down for her thoughts what chance will we have when standing for ours?
