General Motors is flying the Gay Pride flag now.

A company would be called intolerant if they flew a heterosexual pride flag (if such a thing existed). This corporate crap is getting old. I like the old days when corporations were more non-political. I guess this is what happens when you are Government Motors and the progressives are running the asylum.

Check out the gay pride oreo cookie...where are transfat police when you need them?

Honestly, I was never all that into Oreo cookies anyway. Now my wife, on the other hand.... :D Take care. Tom Worthington
 
GM is partly owned by the government now. That's all I need to say
 
Yeah, I usually bought a pack of oreo's a month, but I will NEVER buy or eat another.

Even if they totally reversed their decision, and mailed an apology letter to everyone they offended.

I'm done with them now, and it appears that Kraft (owners) don't mind, so I'm going to try to find out what all they own and just be done with the whole thing.

I don't think it's right, and I sure am not going to spend my money on anything that supports it. It's that plain and simple.
 
oh good lord... I don't care if I offend anyone, I'm not going to lie, this liberal commie crap pissed me off.

At the same time, everything you buy, doesn't matter which company, they all support the same BS in some way... Not to mention made in china...
 
Dang, they may as well fly flags for white male middle class hetrosexuals, transgenders, European descent people, native Americans, blacks or African Americans, vikings, druids, flying spaghetti monster, hispanics, hispanic Americans, ...

Uhh, what else? To fly just the one is kinda intollerant of all the rest isnt it? Thats it, I'm def gettin my hetrosexual flag out. And my poor white guy flag thats broke.
 
I worked at a 3rd generation owned manufacturing company and at an all employee meeting the president was asked why we don't fly an American flag. The answer: we are a non-political company with global customers (a few in EU) and in some places that would be viewed as a political statement.

Two years later as election time approached a huge sign showed up out front for a liberal Senate candidate. Being non-political, the maintenance manager removed it and it ended up at the bottom of the dumpster. Turned out she ok'd it and was furious it was trashed but dropped it when reminded why we don't have a flag up. Turns out she was ok with being tied to a liberal wack job but wasn't ok with being an American.

The GM thing has me feeling like removing GM references from the ol' Chevelle.

That's kinda of where I am. I currently own and drive five GM vehicles, one of them a 1967 Camaro, and I've bought/owned many more. However, I doubt I'll be buying a GM product on my next purchase, and I told them as much in an e-mail. Not that they'd care, but it felt kinda good. Take care. Tom Worthington.
 
Gay pride month... How about a month for straight white hard working blue collar americans! We can fly a camouflage flag!

No, I don't know why they called me "John", other than that is the name on my vehicle titles (my first is John, my middle name is Thomas, I've always been Tom, though). I suspect they've sent a lot of these form letter responses out. Take care. Tom Worthington.
 
I honestly could care less if someone is straight, gay, black, white, green plaid, whatever. I'm just tired of the hypocasy and dual standards in the country.

I'm inundated with <insert color/sex/orientation/etc here> pride stickers, t-shirts, ads, flags, signs, groups, caucus's, organiazations, etc. but if i say I'm proud of any of the same attributes about myself I'm a racist, sexist, hater, <?????>-phobic or worse.
