Who wants to antagonize anti-Obama insurgents?
Some are coming up with 'plans', saying that by buying nothing or as little as possible, then they won't be funding "marxism".
Just say you'll be buying double, that way you can cancel out them not buying anything.

They're also making groups on the Internet, we should crash them.

A racist group I am spying upon has come up with the idea of 'black propaganda'. Push any rumor they can come up with (Their disgusting example: "Obama murdered his grandmother") I say we push bizarre and ridiculous rumors that make the "Obama is a secret Muslim" smear look tame by comparison.

I know we should probably leave them alone in their little make believe world, but it's just so tempting to upset them even more.

1. i definitely think watching their message boards and posting on them is a good idea.
maybe, instead of putting equally crazy stuff on there, we ask them how they're enjoying their prosperity.

if nothing else, just let them know that sane people are watching them.

2. Not buying things for a while. I applaud that idea.
It might get the country out of some of its debt and put an end to some of the rampant materialism of the Republicans. Maybe if they found a little more joy in something other than shopping, they would learn some human values, the joy of giving without shopping, giving of your time and love. Maybe some of them would take up reading? That simple step, giving up shopping and taking up reading, could change the world, theirs and ours.

I would not discourage this at all. Maybe if they realize that money really isn't everything, they won't salivate and jerk the vote lever for Republicans every time the Republicans mention tax cuts. Maybe they will see through that whole ruse.

This is great news. This could mean the end of Walmart and cheap Chinese imports. I'm all for that.

3. I buy as little as possible.
But for very different reasons.
I certainly never buy from Wal-Mart, and I rarely buy and Chinese made plastic crap.
I like quality over quantity, I have lots of old stuff, and I don't give a shit what my buying patterns do to the economy.
