on its vehicles or business property. If asked, I will explain why that is. I also do not patronize businesses that have Fox News playing their customer waiting area, and tell them why I'm going elsewhere.

While it is their perfect right to do as they choose, it is also my right to patronize someone else. Any smart business person knows that politics and religion do not belong as a prominent part of their business. It's the fastest possible way to alienate a good portion of your potential customers.

And I don't want to do business with stupid people. So, such businesses are off my list when it comes to my patronage.
