Recently I was reading a
column by Michelle Malkin, when I read the following:
On May 1, left-wing vigilantes will target companies across the country that have committed a mortal sin: sending donations to GOP governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Rest assured, such intolerable acts of political free speech will not go unpunished by tolerant Big Labor activists. They’re calling for both a national boycott of Walker’s corporate donors and a coordinated sticker-vandalism campaign on GOP-tainted products.
The Wisconsin Grocers Association is bracing for the anti-Walker witch hunt. Anonymous operatives have circulated sabotage stickers on the Internet and around Wisconsin that single out Angel Soft tissue paper (“Wiping Your [Expletive] on Wisconsin Workers”), Johnsonville Sausage (“These Brats Bust Unions”), and Coors (“Labor Rights Flow Away Like a Mountain Stream”). Earlier this week, a “Stick It to Walker” website boasted photos of vandalized Angel Soft tissue packages at a Super Foodtown grocery store in Brooklyn, N.Y.
My course was clear. I went to my local grocery stores and bought a pack of Johnsonville sausages, a pack of 12 jumbo rolls of Angel Soft toilet paper, and a nice, big bottle of Coors Light. (Sometimes political virtue produces unexpected rewards. I was proofed for the first time in 17 years.) Tonight I shall contact the above-mentioned companies to let them know that I support them with my good wishes and my dollars.
I humbly request that you go out and do the same.
