From the Brady Bunch to Starbucks,

[Rob10ring]

On their homepage, the Brady Bunch are featuring an online petition (http://www.bradycampaign.org/) to tell Starbucks to "Keep Guns Out." Does anyone know if our side has any similar petitions in the opposing view?

Just for that, I will buy yet another over priced, over roasted cup of "4 bucks" coffee. The thing is, I admire the hell out of them and  not because they are pro-2A. They're not. I admire them because they said "Look, we're trying to run a business here. We sell coffee. We aren't going to be dictated to by anyone's political agenda". That's old school John Galt and I respect them for it.

What do you expect from the liberal progressive mouthpiece?

The Huffington Post apparently has the market cornered on folks suffering from cranial-rectal insertion.

I agree with thier stance on this... that being, we sell coffee, all we want to do is sell coffee, leave us alone.

I just read that Starbucks said that they are going to follow the rules of the local area.  If they say people can open carry, they will not kick them out or say, No open carry in the store.   They said they do not want to get caught up in the politics of it.  I am glad they are following the rules of the law and not making their own.  Good for them.

This really does bug me and I really do support Starbucks here. It has nothing to with the issue either. Its about a business being able to do business without getting crap from the peanut gallery over political nonsense that they didn't ask for and shouldn't efect them. Starbucks will (and should) sell a $4 cup of coffe to anyone who will pay for it, gun or no gun. Its like (on the flip side) when the Southern Baptist Convention decided to boycott Disney a few years back because they gave insurance coverage to same sex couples. (Imagine, an entertainment company trying to keep gay employees. Shocking! ). Honestly, if you're just selling coffee, or cartoons, why the heck should you get caught up in someone else's political agenda? More power to Starbucks for saying KMA.
