Nah, don't think so! Escept maybe while somebody they wanted to go one-up on was looking!
jdhelm Champion Author Iowa Posts:11,862 Points:1,198,890 Joined:Dec 2009	Message Posted: Jan 20, 2013 7:06:07 PM Ignore jdhelm Report Abuse Burnett opened I Love Drilling on Nov. 7, the day after the 2012 presidential election, and since then, only a few customers have paid the liberal price — no surprise given that this big oil town is overwhelmingly Republican. Many happy conservatives have posted supportive comments on I Love Drilling’s Facebook page. "I hope you collect a million dollars in Smoothie Liberal Tax," wrote one commenter. "If I lived in Vernal I’d support your business, good job," added another.

But I thought is was kind of funny or ironic or unusual. By the way Paxy your defination doesnt fit me at all however --- your near personal attacks are riding the ragged line of 'trolling'. If you dont like the topic - fine discuss the topic or ignore it. But throwing semi hidden slurs about a person rather than ideas isnt too cool there guy.
AC-302 Champion Author Los Angeles Posts:26,582 Points:2,902,095 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Jan 20, 2013 11:51:16 AM Ignore AC-302 Report Abuse You have to admit, it is pretty funny. That said, has anyone EVER admitted to being a liberal and paying the higher price? Now let's turn it around for a second.. what if it was the other way, the bar was called "Mountain Wildflowers" or something, and they had it the other way - where self-styled CONSERVATIVES were being charged more to help repair the environment (the excess going towards conservation efforts)? I bet you'd get some folks who would self-describe as Conservative and pay the higher price to donate to charity.

How many opt to spend their own money to express their loyalty to an ideology that confiscates money from others, so that the "Liberals" (liberal with other people's money) can feel good? Maybe we should start a topic on identifying companies that support Liberal solutions and funnel a portion of their profits to Leftist organizations?
