The Rest of the Story

Tweet

I just watched a story on World News Tonight about Ford Motor Company's major losses. Of course, Ford would like to blame it all on the oil/gas crisis but there is another side to the story. Last year, Ford decided to become a major contributor to homosexual activists attempting to force the rest of us to change our perspective on morality and, as a result, a boycott went into effect against Ford Motor Company. In spite of losing billions of dollars, Ford chose to stand by its decision to try to tell millions of Americans what is right and wrong. They did this with absolutely no regard for their employees whose income depends on their solvency. As a business woman, I think that businesses should stick to providing a service or product and stay out of our country's moral decisions. Everyone has the right to stand behind what they believe in and I have no problem with the individuals of Ford Motor Company supporting whatever they feel like, even if I disagree. However, I have a big issue with a large corporation like Ford or McDonald's or Proctor & Gamble contributing huge amounts of money to organizations attempting to sway this country's morals. Actually, if truth be told, I think that large corporations shouldn't be allowed to contribute large amounts of money to any organization or political campaign that will have a moral or economical impact on our citizens. It's like they are buying their perspective and that's a scary place for this country to be in. Our country's legislature is living proof of how scary this is because they are making decisions that affect all of our lives but they are siding with people who have no concern for the citizens of this country. If you think the politicians care anything about your life, you're crazy. The only thing the candidates are interested in you for is to get elected. They only care about themselves and what they and their buddies want. I'm not overly thrilled with either candidate for President but I do believe that McCain is the better choice for a number of reasons. I won't go into that right now because I'm getting away from my subject. The point I'll get back to is that Ford is on the brink of going under mostly because it decided to ignore conservative voices that don't want businesses telling us how to live. McDonald's and P&G might want to consider the consequences of what Ford is going through because I don't intend to use my money to buy products from companies who are promoting what I consider to be an unhealthy and unsafe lifestyle. You also might want to consider the other side of the coin on this. What if some of these major corporations decided to start supporting radical organizations that want to take away your choices and your right to believe what you believe? I don't intend to force my beliefs on anyone but I will stand up against someone who is determined to undermine parents in the way they choose to teach their children right from wrong and try to force me to be silent because I think what they are doing is wrong. I will fight for my right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion as long as I am alive. What I don't understand is why so many people in this country are willing to let one group of people try to dictate how the rest of us believe.
