San Francisco Values

...
The next time you hear some conservative idiot going on about the dreaded “San Francisco Values” (the new favorite con buzz-phrase) remember this:
But let's talk about "San Francisco values", you know -- tolerance, entrepreneurship, and creativity.

Since [Bill] O'Reilly boycotts everything he hates, I look forward to his boycott of all Bay Area-origin products. Same with every conservative who bashes San Francisco and the Bay Area. So no iPods or anything Apple. No HP computers. No Google. No Yahoo. No eBay. Those conservative bloggers using Blogspot, MovableType, or TypePad? Sorry. Those products are Bay Area-based.

Also no Adobe or Macromedia products. No computers, either, since most run on AMD or Intel. No tax preparation using Intuit products. Cancel your Netflix subscription. Cancel your TiVo subscription. Remove your Network Associates or Symantec virus protection software from your computer. Unplug your Netgear wifi router.

Don't wear Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, or buy your kids Gymboree. Avoid LeapFrog learning toys. Boycott Pixar movies. Boycott any movie using George Lucas' ILM special effects shop. Stay away from Treos and other Palm devices. Don't let Charles Schwab manage your portfolio. Don't bank at Wells Fargo.

Yeah, those "San Francisco values" sure are dragging the region down.
Not to mention it's a wonderful city (and area) full of wonderful people. This country is lucky to have it. But rather than embracing what it brings to our great land, conservatives would just as soon shit on it. Like they did New Orleans. Like they do New York (except for 9/11’s Ground Zero which, of course, is the Holy Rational For Perpetual War). Why do these guys hate America so much?

Nice post.

While they are good for a laugh now, and then, I avoid watching Bill O'Reilly, and Fox.

Speaking of boycotts, fewer viewers of the Fox network equals less advertising revenues for that evil machine, and I encourage everyone to stop giving into the urge to tune into that train wreck.
