THE LAST STRAW Piled on by Starbucks

If paying an excessive amount for coffee that can't compare to Dunkin Donuts isn't enough to make you stop spending your bucks at Starbucks, how about having liberal progressive propaganda served up with your morning latte? "The Way I See It" quotations printed on the side of Starbucks coffee cups aren't always left-wing — but they mostly are. A few samples:

The Way I See It # 347 — "Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure." — Bill Schell, Starbucks customer from London, Ontario, Canada

The Way I See It # 230 — "Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can't wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but Heaven has to step it up a bit. They're basically getting by because they only have to be better than Hell" — Joel Stein, columnist for the Los Angeles Times

The Way I See It # 43 — "My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too d*mn short." — Armistead Maupin, Homosexual Novelist

Honestly, the cup propaganda didn't faze me partly because I don't partake of Starbucks that often and I never even noticed the quotes behind the cardboard sleeve. However, it must have bothered enough people who bothered to register their complaints because Starbucks added a disclaimer to their website and more right-leaning quotes to their cups.

The new efforts have included an ad that is full of Obamarama code words even though he is not mentioned directly.

But Starbucks has piled on the LAST STRAW and broke the camel's back when they started ridiculing the patriots who spoke up at the Townhalls this summer.
