Group think is not good anywhere on the spectrum so I'm more than happy to hear an alternative viewpoint, unless it includes restricting people's rights or spouting hate as jokes or "it's just my opinion." And this is the same way I think of boycotts. The people at Chik-fil-A can think whatever they want, but when they donate large sums of money to ensure that people's rights are restricted, that's a different thing. And as a corporation, they have to know that money talks.

But speaking of blowback, did anyone see the thing on Facebook about boycotting Progressive Insurance because they're too liberal? That Cuhracked me up. The company's name is PROGRESSIVE and somebody was surprised that they are progressive. I have several friends who said, good to know. I'll be looking at them when it's time to renew my insurance. Whether these things move market share, I don't know.
