    OK, I give up, how do Ben and Jerry's ice cream names liberal?

    Please list examples.

    The two flavors that come to mind when thinking of their ice cream are Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey. I know no other names. These obviously are not liberal entities.

    Real simple ... a true Blue No Brainer.What the Right or Righties can do
    without is The left.Any and all input,advice,bloviating,getting-to-know-each-other
    regardless of how music may be added to reassure.Like what used to be played
    in a Doctors office in the waiting room.
    What was it called ... Muzak.Haven't much from IT of late.
    Maybe if it was like Holy Water to a Vampire!.Maybe I ought'n git me a bag of
    Muzak.To ward off anymore this constant streaming of " Jim Crow " Joe Biden.
    I mean,look at the guy's face.It's actually Mummifying right before our eyes.
    I mean,maybe that is how it works.For every dastardly lie,one's face
    develops a nice wrinkle.
    Yeah ... Sure ... why not.I mean,even if Man was made in the image
    and likeness of God,that don't done mean wrinkle-free.
    Maybe man was not made to live wrinkle-free.So man cannot no matter
    how hard he tries ... wish off into the cornfield his wrinkles.
    No matter what lefty " Jim Crow " Biden may tell ya.

    Silly me, what ever got me to think that Save our Swirled put out for earth day or "I dough I dough" that they put out to celebrate the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage were liberal names of ice cream. Or perhaps Home Sweet Honeycomb which was put out to celebrate legislation that would resettle refugees safely into Europe.

    Or even Empower Mint which was launched on the anniversary of the day the Supreme Court issued its landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling.

    LOL, I guess if look hard enough a conspiracy is always easy to find.

    Me, as an objective, reasoned, well educated person have never heard these names. Maybe I just don't spend enough time on the alt right sites. :alientwo:

    It is not a conspiracy, the company puts out press release for each new flavor. They proudly push their liberal leanings.

    Based on your post I am not sure you are any of the three.

    Now the Ben and Jerry's own site is an alt-right site. Who knew.

    It is not. I linked to it so you would know they are real.

    Is this your way of getting out of admitting you were wrong?

    It's my way of saying that since I am not part of the alt right nor the loony left how on earth would I have ever heard of this nonsense?

    That you are aware makes it clear that you travel in one of theses circles as no ordinary American would have a clue.

    I have zero doubt that your radical media told you to be outraged or enamored with this, depending on which extreme you have bound yourself to.

    So, with one more post you prove that you are not an objective nor well reasoned individual. I am best described as a libertarian, small government and more personal freedoms.

    Why would I not be aware of things sold in my grocery store, and how does being aware make me a member of the loony left/right?

    Finally, if you had bothered to read the thread you would find that I am not outraged nor enamored, I was using the company as an example of one that uses its political views to its advantage in its marketing because it was stated in the thread that it is bad business to do so.

    Finally, I will happily admit I find it a good marketing strategy and it is my own personal opinion why they are a national brand, it is what stood them out from the other 1000 regional ice cream brands out there.

    A friendly suggestion, try reading the whole thread before making such an ass out of yourself.

    I've enjoyed cutting NBA, NFL, and MLB out of my life. I have spent more time with my family than ever before. My wife quit watching the award shows. We also have become diligent on not supporting Woke Businesses and buying "Made in America" products whenever possible. It often takes research on some items.

    Let the Leftists continue with dividing us. In the end we will be stronger as we will not be dependent on their MSM, Big Tech, or Leftist Government. They will be those sheep to the slaughter.

    You beautifully summed up the message from the OP in that we patriotic Americans on the right will have to learn to live without giving into the Left's media and high tech conglomerate takeover of the airwaves and of our sports et al. Sure hope we'll be able to at least put a stop to this radical leftist madness come 2020 in the midterm elections when Republicans will not only take over the majority in the House, but will quickly install some sanity in our congress by bringing back our American ideals.

    Americans in general don't agree with you. Having a right means being able to exercise that without danger. The citizens of this nation are arming themselves at an unprecedented rate- including a large percentage of people buying guns for the first time. Used guns are often selling for more than the new list price, and a many guns are just not available, back-ordered with a year's waiting time, One manufacturer of ammunition, Vista Outdoors- has over a $Billion in back orders for ammunition. The rates of normal crimes have increased dramatically, but we are also seeing many crazy crimes that indicate dysfunctional mindsets and general rage against anybody- and you can thank the liberals for creating that, making some people think that mindless violence is also a right. Some people obviously do.
    Is that one of the rights you think you have?

    I have been watching more than ever. The nest is empty and my wife works 7 12 hour shifts in 9 days and then has 5 off. During those 7 it is just me for all but the hour between when she gets home and goes to bed. Though it is annoying that my Cardinals are not available due to contract disputes with the streaming services and FoxSports Midwest.

    I could not care less if a business is woke or not, that does not come into my choices even a tiny little percent. I also personally do not care about where something is made, just the quality and the price. Why should I pay more for a lesser product just because it was made here?

    No thanks.

    Figures. A philosophy that cannot advance sociaty.

    I do not hang out in teh ice cream section of the supermarket, I guess those that do are "in the know."

    Good product, fair price?

    Nothing friendly about calling another an ass. So I won't do the same. Plus, I don't need to. Your posts speak loud and clear.
    Libertarian alone shows this.

    Yes, I know the idea of a smaller government and more personal freedoms will never work in society. Too many people like you around for that to happen.

    Yes, because walking down the ice cream isle to buy ice cream is "hanging out". You are a strange individual.

    Which describes 9 local ice creams in my area alone.

    Sure there is, when one is making an ass out of themselves the friendly thing that can be done is for someone to point it out.

    And yes, my post speak loud and clear that I am actually an objective, reasoned, well educated person. Unlike others.

    You really don't understand the limitations of a libertarian philosophy, do you?

    Basically, you want all teh advantages that tribe life affords with none of the tribal responsibilities. It's an ignorant and selfish philosophy.
    When I was young and dumb, fresh out of college, I too championed a libertarian philosophy. Maybe in time you too will come to understand.

    Peace brother and watch all that ice cream you it, nothing worse than clogged arteries.

    Yes, I do. That is why I said I was best described as a libertarian.

    It is the closet philosophy to my views of smaller government and more personal freedoms.

    I agree that taken to the extremes it does these things, which is why I often argue with libertarians who get pissed when I call myself one yet do not think all taxes are of the devil. Out of college I was a rightwing Repub, then I developed compassion and moved on. Besides, today's Repubs are all big government loving morons.

    Not sure how you figured out how much ice cream I eat, but I have been a runner since 1975, all those miles keep the arteries clean as a whistle. I have had doctors double check my cholesterol as they did not really believe it was a low as the test said because I eat pretty much anything I like. I am in my mid-50s with a resting HR lower than my age.

    Ben and Jerry { Father } Stiller never had such problems.
    Ask why was that.They were comic entertainers.When entertaining
    knew no political persuation.However Jerry Stiller had a key role in a very
    good movie starring Robin Williams.
    Based on a great author from Chicago { Saul Bellow }.
    - Seize the Day - { 1987 }. A movie that featured Nothing Comic.
    maybe Ironic but never laughable.
    Which also Ironically is where The United States now sits.
    Once Movie Theatres decide to open their doors.
    Instead of selling Popcorn and sodas ... There will be
    orders sold.meaning ... Shut Up and Obey.

    All well and good { not really }. But I think that Trump did a lot of that
    as his Voters did come out en masse.My Proof ... No President in the last 150
    years has lost a Re-Election when they Increased their vote totals.
    Trump got more votes in 2020 than 2016.
    PLus Trump Increased the Black and Hispanic Vote for Republicans.
    As Mark Levin also proves ... Trump is arguably a more successful Conservative
    President than his Boss { President Reagan }.Levin worked in the Reagan White
    House.He was Chief of staff to AG Ed Meese.
    In 2020 NO GOP Incumbent lost their race.
    Trump won 2,497 counties to Biden's 477 counties.
    Obama won 873 counties in his Re-election { 2012 }.
    Trump also won Manhattan by 5% { + 7 K }
    The Bronx by 7 % { + 21 K }
    And Queens by 8 % { + 42 k }
    How then did Biden sweep.By using Traditional Big Cities like
    Philly,Pittsburg,Atlanta and Detroit to virtually Steal { conceal }
    how votes were counted.That is all that was needed.Just a few Big
    States.
    Trump took Florida,Ohio and Texas and did so Early.

    Only a few years (possibly months at this point if everything goes to plan) until I can afford a house that I can turn into my own personal paradise. I plan on planting trees all over the property so I don't have to look out and no one can look in. I will live the way I see fit, not the way someone else tells me. I will shoot my guns, work on my old cars and tractors that use internal combustion engines, and do whatever else I want to. Probably won't venture out unless I have a good reason which is perfectly fine. To hell with other people and their problems, I figured my stuff out, it's up to them to figure their problems out.

    I too did a lot of running. Nothing helps my cholesterol though. It's crazy, no matter what I eat.
