In a recent article on the boycott of Kraft foods by the "American Family Association", one respondent wrote about being tired of conservatives trying to force their beliefs up his (posterior orifice). But that is not, and never has been, what conservatives or even the AFA are about.

First of all, the AFA is a CHRISTIAN organization. That is part of its purpose, that is in its mission statement. The boycotts it calls, the statements it makes, are meant for the education of its MEMBERS. Does anyone cry foul when the NRA points out the voting positions of gun control candidates? Do they cry foul when buyblue.org sets up a website dedicated to the idea of spending one's money at organizations that promote leftist causes? No, nor should they.

Going "into" the AFA's statements and putting them to the court of public opinion is akin to the idea of criticizing the policies of the Vatican, or of the Southern Baptist Convention in light of public opinion. While AFA is not a denomination, it is a conservative Christian organization, and its statements are its own business. Nowhere in the AFA boycott is a political statement advocating any sort of sanction against Kraft food for its actions from any political entity. They are simply educating and informaing their members (in a tactic invented by the left, as Baker aptly points out) so that their members can make educated decisions.

I know several people who were members of various groups that supported the Disney boycott. Of those people, NOT ONE actually boycotted Disney products. They simply weren't that concerned about a private organization's actions. I suspect this boycott will be the same way. And if it isn't, so what? Maybe a corporation SHOULD be held accountable by its consumers for how it spends its money.
