So far it is the Hamas that has reaped the most reward.

Won’t the Gaza retreat just embolden more boycotts?

The feckless PC-USA leadership are protecting their pensions, worshipping mammon instead of the Almighty.

The real question is when the faithful will cast them out of their ‘temple’.

If I ran such a company, I think I’d have a little contest. Every year, the regional sales manager who does *worst* on quota achievement gets a special, 1-year assignment. He will be in charge of “negotiating” with religious and other moonbat organizations on foreign policy issues….Should be a terrific incentive.
