Target, Best Buy and 3M get downgraded in HRC equality rating

HAHAHA. I am thrilled that Target and Best Buy (read: MinnesotaForward) are being downgraded. They deserve it. I am sorry for their fine, non-bigoted, employees and I hope they don’t suffer for their CEOs’ bad faith and bad actions. Tom Emmer is behind in the polls. All I can say is thank God (and I do mean God). And thank you, the people of Minnesota for rising above this terrible man and seeing him for what he is. People like Tom Emmer give Christians and Christ a bad name and shame us with their rhetoric, hate mongering and the persecution of minorities. They are the main reason for people leaving the church in droves, the main reason for the climate of hate that drives gay children to suicide (including three Minnesota teens), they are behind the murder of Matthew Shepard, the oppression of people of other religions and the tide of hate and fear that is present in our country. We are Americans, we are better than Tom Emmer and his ilk. They constitute the American Taliban, destroying anyone unlike them. I pray daily for them and ask God to help them awaken from their madness. God Bless America and my fellow Americans (ALL of them).

I wouldn’t assume that all organizations that get the 100% rating are necessarily all that great. I know of one personally that gets 100%, but disparaging comments about gays are not uncommon and go unchallenged, including by managment. Always be wary of corporate “image” and what companies will do or spend to create it.

Now that corporations are officially people, I welcome the coming day when Red Chinese (yes, the Chinese government is communist) buy a few companies incorporated in the U.S. and start spending money to influence U.S. elections. Right, now, they are doing it indirectly through their agents like Walmart and Target, whose interests are completely tied to Chinese interests. The same with Islamic forces from the Middle East, they’ll turn that oil money into direct political influence simply by incorporating in Delaware. Thanks to your neighborhood radical right wing, our elections can now be directly influenced by “foreign agents” acting as “corporate persons”.

The look of stupidity and shock on right wing faces when that day arrives will, unfortunately, be my only comfort.

This is the same group that has tried to indoctrinate children with sexually identity issues – against the parent’s right to protect their children from these dangerous ideas.

“the largest homosexual activist group in the nation, the Human Rights
Campaign, had recently piloted a pro-gay curriculum called Welcoming Schools for elementary-age kids in some Minnesota schools (and elsewhere in the nation).

The Human Rights Campaign claims that this curriculum is all about teaching “diversity” and preventing “name calling.” But lesson plans within the curriculum—such as the “Family Diversity Photo Puzzle”— reveal that it’s
more about indoctrination. For instance, the “Diversity Photo Puzzle,” designed for kids in the first through third grades, gives children puzzle pieces depicting photographs of people.

Children are told to arrange the photos into seven families. But lo and behold, after they begin the assignment, they find themselves forced to “create some families with adults of the same gender” and to “make decisions about whether to label the adults as two mothers,” explains the lesson plan guide. It’s difficult to find a more
blatant example of indoctrination than that.10

When parents in Minnesota found out about this exercise, they not only asked for it to be removed from piloted curricula—but they also worked to defeat the so-called “Safe Schools” law so that it could not be used to push more indoctrination tools like this into classrooms. Their concerns were not hypothetical: In a document entitled “A Look at Laws & Policies That Support

Welcoming Schools,” the Human Rights Campaign has singled out states that have “Safe School Laws” and “Policies Against Harassment and Bullying” as places that may be more open to this curriculum.11″

They are not interesting in human rights; they are anti-parents rights and are clearly trying to indoctrinate children, shame on them and anyone that supports this group of tyrants.

The things people do to spread their lies and mistruths. Welcoming Schools is nothing what Tim claims. The program was initiated by a group of parents and educators and is based on research that shows links between academic achievement, mental well-being and an inclusive school climate. The site Tim cites is from Focus on the Family. Need I say more?

[...] For other corporations the answer is a yes. After seeing the backlash faced by Target and Best Buy, shoe manufacture Red Wing Shoe Company still decided to make a $50,000 contribution to MNForward and 3M, the maker of Post-its, donated $100,000. For these companies the benefit of a political contribution outweighed the risk of a negative reaction. [...]
