Today was Starbucks Appreciation Day, a day when gun owners would show up, order coffee or a pastry, and have a good time in one of the few places where you can bring your gun with you (they respect local laws).
Well, the Starbucks in Newton has decided that respecting the enemies of the Constitution is a better deal than making money.
“A sign at the coffee shop read: “Out of respect for Newtown and everything our community has been through, we have decided to close our store early today.””

Starbucks, the left already hates you, you’re a big corporation that makes lots of money and sells expensive coffee. The liberals aren’t even grateful that you have a fair-trade policy which overpays for the coffee you buy from peasants in third world countries. So why are you kissing their asses? There’s 100 million gun owners in America, you could rename your band Right-Wing Republican Coffee & Brownies and still make a lot of money.
When you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. Ever heard of Chick-Fil-A? They’re making a fortune. That stupid boycott did them a huge favor, I’m not even against same-sex marriage but I showed up to support them because I like their chicken, and I don’t like a bunch of gay activist and their supporters attacking a company just because Mr. Cathy has some politically incorrect views.
So Starbucks, wake up and smell the coffee sales you’re losing! People on the right are far more passionate than those on the left, we’re willing to back up our values with cold hard cash. We’re not asking you to give money to the NRA or run advertising supporting our Second Amendment, just keep the open and let us shop, why is that so hard?
