Here in Tinyville, Kentuckiana, almost everyone seems to vote RW. Very likely any given business is run or managed by someone whose political views would trouble me greatly. Meanwhile, one still must eat and stuff. I don't eat the Papa John's pizzas these days, unless someone else has already bought them (they're popular at family gatherings). Beyond that, options for protest through selective shopping are kind of limited.
In general, though, I think situations of this sort need to be considered separately as each case comes up. Our fellow citizens, even the hateful whackadoodles, have a right to their political opinions and ideals as much as we do.
On the other hand, maybe I'm just trying to rationalize the fact that a dearth of options forces me to shop at the local Wam-Lart more frequently than I'd like.
