More Bad Taste from Lacithedog

More ignorance by lacithedog I can't think of a reason to want to buy Starbucks' Coffee: They allow gun toting clients in the USA ("would you like hot lead with that?"). Now, they have the bad taste to ask the Irish why they are proud to be British! Inviting followers on Twitter to "show us what makes you proud to be British" as part of a diamond jubilee promotion must have seemed like a good idea at the time at Starbucks. But after tweeting the invitation to nearly 2,000 Irish followers of its Twitter account on Tuesday, the coffee giant has been on the receiving end of a backlash over its seemingly shaky grasp of political geography. If allowing gun toting customers isn't bad enough, they have to show how DUMB they are by asking Hibernians (the Irish) if they are proud to be British--TWO DIFFERENT ISLANDS.

I'm not surprised to see the hoplophobes still focusing on Starbucks support for gun owners. On one hand, the Irish have every right to live free and independent from British rule. On the other, there has been more tasteless and ignorant anti-rights sentiment from the Left on this issue. What is even more ironic is that Lacithedog is criticizing a free market entrepreneur while ignoring the fact that oppressive British rule has caused the violent reactions from the Irish for centuries. The disarming Irish by the crown has even the cause of the problem, and ignoring that fact to focus on coffee completely misses the point in an attempt to berate Starbucks more for supporting gun rights. The free market shows that customers support Starbucks gun policies, despite the whining from the Left.
