I'm still sticking to my boycott of French wines. Nothing's changed on that front to make me even consider buying another bottle of French wine. I have noted recently a steep decline in the cost of a bottle of froggy wine too. It does my heart good!
Now, to the list of my personal boycotts, I am forced to add the local music emporium known as ear X-tacy. I have always liked the fact that they promote local music and sell CDs from local bands that are otherwise a bit hard to procure. However, they have now entered into a political pact with one of Louisville's most anti-American organizations: LPAC.
LPAC has procured a scrolling sign that ear x-tacy has agreed to place in their window. That sign is nothing more than propaganda to encourage other pacifists to object to our war on terror. Their propaganda tool scrolls the following messages:
**IRAQ WAR COST $164,201,378,546---$164 BILLION ! !
**....KY DEAD---20
**U.S. DEAD---1562----U.S.WOUNDED---11,664
**IRAQ WAR COST TO KY<@Fill Flash>$1.3 BILLION ! !
**IRAQ WAR COST TO LOUISVILLE---$74.1 MILLION ! !
**LOUISVILLE PEACE ACTION COMMUNITY (LPAC)---LouisvillePeace.Org
**Louisville Fellowship of Reconciliation
**Peace Takes Courage
I don't object to educating people about the costs of war. As a matter of fact, it is important for people to understand that freedom is definitely not free. I object to the hypocrisy LPAC has put on display by noting the number of deaths while they continue to disparage the noble principles for our war dead gave their lives. It is almost an understatement to say that the old hippies at LPAC are anti-military pacifists. They are part of a network of organizations nationwide that encourage service members to desert and support Communism. Check out their website for all of the other anti-American propaganda that they spew. It makes me sick.
I have written to John Timmons (the owner of ear x-tacy) to let him know that I will not be patronizing his establishment again until that sign comes down. I hope that he will reconsider his political statements and go back to doing what he does best -- music.
I encourage others to do the very same.
