I do not give time or money to culturally reactionary (or right wing) ideals or any thing that promotes them.
No Country music, certainly no "Christian" (which means born again fundie) music, no NASCAR, no redneck/rural doings....

This should not be considered a political boycott as it is not. It is a rejection of that culture.

I get Pizza from the local parlor as opposed to Papa Johns.
