Then stop bringing God into the conversation. See why I said "obsessive" a while back? I'm comfortable with mine. You sound very insecure in yours. Obama isn't God. Neither is Romney or the recession.

But I'm not going to compartmentalize my faith my friend, and truly, I don't feel insecure but rather very secure in my faith. In my eye, I'm already vindicated since Christ's tomb was/is empty.

Papa John’s, Olive Garden, others attacked as racist



Yep. Sad, but true: The boycott insanity is growing. Now businesses are being attacked as racist due to having to lay off workers or cut hours in response to Obamacare. Or, for even just considering it as an option! Financial reality is hard.

New entry into the Handbook for Racial Code Words? Staying in business. You see, if a business dares to do what needs to be done in order to remain in business, it’s totally racist. Or something. Oh, the insidious bigotry of trying to ensure that a business continues to exist. The horror!

The 'insanity' of people boycotting these places claiming racism is wrong.

It comes down to political beliefs and greed on behalf of the owners and not racism.

I personally have never eaten at either of these places as I prefer locally owned restaurants so I won't be boycotting.....



Darden Restaurants, Inc., which owns omnipresent suburban chains Red Lobster and Olive Garden, is gearing up to deal with new federal health care requirements. According to the AP, the restaurant group — which employs 180,000 people at over 2,000 restaurants — is running an experiment in four markets that increases the number of part time employees. (Darden isn't giving out specific numbers at this time.) This is an effort to curb full time employees, as the federal government — because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) — will begin fining employers for not providing basic health coverage to full time employees starting January 1, 2014. It also means servers at Red Lobster now manage four tables at a time instead of three, in case you're wondering why your endless popcorn shrimp refills were taking so long.

Many thousands of Canadians are sent to the US each year because we ain't got the facilities to treat them and the Mericans do a terrible job of treating them.

We are going to go through this whole discussion again in May if the NDP win in BC. They have already promised to raise taxes to provide even more social programs(read jobs for government union members) and businesses have threatened to shut down the economy.

Apparently the provision of healthcare should be a global, inalienable human right...... A right that is so important that no one should have to pay for those services

dem dems?

Looks to me like moronic uninformed people who probably don't belong to any political party. What are the actual democratic politicians saying?

Sorry but twits don't make for a 'democratic boycott movement' anymore than they make for 'conservatives moving to canada'.

The media needs to stop trying to make these leaps in, erm, logic, based on moron on the internet.

None of those businesses will close their doors out of spite... There comes a point in time when they are forced to consider alternatives.

A good example are the many businesses that relocated from California to Texas. They still sell their products/services into California, but the office out of Tx and pay lower State taxes because of it. The bottom-line is that they end up supporting the Texas tax base at the expense of California.

This is the potential circumstance that may affect BC

Since many of the twittercrats are associated with #obamacare, huffpost, I'll make the leap that they be dems, yep. :lol:

If I was Dixie Cup I wouldn't count on it being in the bag!

Oh, Walter, surely not a Conservative Gov't! (Of course there's no telling what those Liberal bastards would do) :lol:

Partly. There is also the cutting back on investment in the province. Also the unidentifiable number of businesses that don't start up because investors choose to park their money elsewhere.
