Well, we´ll see how this turns out.... My guess it will be as successful as the leftwing Kiss in of gays/lesbians at Chick fil A.

We will go dine at Applebee´s and Papa John´s this week.

I´m in the mood for Papa John´s tonight.

´So far I´ve seen Papa John´s and Applebees threatening to fire people since their choice didn´t win the election. ..."

Socialist Fantasy meets Economic Reality.

Wake up!

The job you save may be your own!

just had a late lunch at Applebee´s

They have every right to freeze and layoff people. Looks like I´ll be eating at those 2 places.

Yo...yo....MummmMmmm...heading out to Apple Bees for 2 for 20!!

It´s not a "threat", it´s simply recognizing reality and what it will take to stay in business. These are things which leftist idiots don´t understand, they believe federal mandates are somehow divine edicts which have no adverse consequences.

I´m guessing that a lot of these "boycott" folks don´t live within 50 miles of an Applebee´s.

These boycott morons don´t realize if they boycott the restaurants the workers will get their hours cut even more. Less customers less money less staff needed. It will all be clearer when Zero appoints his new Secretary of Business

Think that liberals are the nastiest, dumbest people on earth.

As with all shortsighted liberal schemes, yet another case of "Cutting off your nose to spite your face."

I love how they assume their BOYCOTT will hurt the owners and the people at the top the most. It´s the very people you morons think you are saving that will suffer the most, the people at the bottom.

Why doesn´t Obama nationalize all restaurants. It´s not fair some can afford to eat out more then others. Many companies and probably many hospitals will be laying off because of Obmacare and the Obama recession that is coming.

These low-grade morons better be prepared to never eat out again and stop a lot of other activities because ALL businesses are going to do this one way or the other.

There was a shortage of bread so we rioted and burned down the bakery.
Welcome to typical idiotliberal thinking.

It´s most likely that the twitters doing the boycotting don´t have jobs and can´t afford to eat at those establishments.

obama knows NOTHING about how to run a business. At this very moment an excellent businessman with years of success is shaking his head. Dems actually think it is just so easy. They need a new show. Find five people who want to start a business, give them, oh I don´t know, a million or two and let´s see if they can actually make a go of it when it all comes down on their back. God help us. It is going to be such a mess.

Hello Comments. Since and Because are interchangeable.

Maybe Zero will Executive Order that businesses can´t layoff (without a waiver from him for demoRat corporate donors.)

Choices are getting so easy. First the idiots self identify with their Obama-Biden stickers and yard signs. Then they start pointing out all of the places where they will not congregate. Smoke free AND Dem free is my kind of restaurant.

Time to form Boycott Busters Anonymous.

What do you expect from the idiots who voted him back in office. Basic economics...the most controllable expense in business is your workforce.

There is a one year reachback contained in kenyacare, to deal with this likely outcome.
The actual impact of kenyacare will be lots of overtime for the employment pool at a given employer, rather than adding one additional new employee.
the net effect of kenyacare will be to sustain the high levels of unemployment in the U.S.
Any competent economist could have told President Zero that such a thing would happen. But President Zero doesn´t give a darn about high unemployment. He is immunized, since the low information voters reelected him.

Where is it written that a business is forced to lose money instead of making cost-cutting decisions? And why would rational people believe that a boycott would change management minds?

It must start at the top (Obama) and trickle down thru most of his supporters - total ignorance of economics. Do they think businesses are in business just to have fun or pass the time of day. Really depressing to read of such lack of knowledge.

They have to stay in business and hese idiots who want to boycott are oblivious to how business runs.

good..
boycott..
that should cause a few MORE layoffs..

Put some ice on that and call a waaa-mbulance.
Looks like I´m going to be going to fewer movies and eating out more often. Who is John Galt?

The Chick-Fil-A turnout was different from this. With Chick-Fil_A, the mayors of Boston and other cities said they were not permitted to operate in ther cities. Having government banning a business is an entirely different thing from citizens (however idiotic) boycotting a business. But I´ll certainly eat at Applebee´s to show support.

#7, agree with you.

#22, the funny thing is, many competent economists did tell Obama what would happen. He didn´t pay any attention because, as he once said, he knows more about any given job or subject than the person hired to do that job.

Directive 10-289 will be enacted any moment.

Yes a boycott will force them to hire more employees!!!

Continue the executions until morale improves !!!!

These literal retards. I was reading "Human Action" this morning wherein von Mises says the the original Liberals sought to increase societal cooperation through appeals to reason in order to benefit from the Division of Labor, which he says is the only way for mankind to advance.

These retards want "cooperation" through edict, which, if you think about it for a minute, retards, is not "cooperation."

What can you expect when the administrtion goes after anyone who is making a profit? The amazing thing is that some business men vote Democratic. What are they thinking?

Wonderful news... let the whole system be pushed to the point of collapse. We conservatives will survive. How, I wonder, will the freeloaders make out???

Most restaurants operate on skimpy profit margins.Sometimes they just make on the drinks they sell.But don´t expect today´s schools to educate kids on the difference between profit and profit margin.Walmart makes a huge gross profit but it´s only $5000 per employee compared to Microsoft or Exxon making $250,000+ per employee.

My guess is big retail is waiting to see what Walmart does with Obamacare and will follow suit.

We are in the middle of a Civil War. No one will die from fighting. (Yet) Do what you can to help our cause. Boycott NFN media( non Fox News ) don´t go to leftist movies,stay away from leftist owned businesses, de program indoctrinated public educated students, de program college students, purge yourself from leftist " friends" they are our enemy. This may sound extreme but does anybody have a better idea?

Correction: this is not "liberal" thinking, it is leftist thinking. These leftist idiots have no clue how economics work. Yes, Obama was told that it would hurt business but he said it wouldn´t and all his ignorant followers believed him.

Anyone who doesn´t understand that a business that loses business also cuts back on employees--or folds completely--is someone whose life is governed by illogic.

Years ago, I had a conversation with a reporter who was thrilled at the notion of Gore becoming president because, as she said, "He´ll stop all the logging in Maine!" I asked what the unemployed loggers would do. Her reply: "Oh, they can find something else." I said, "Yes, they´ll probably all enroll at Johns Hopkins to become neurosurgeons." She stomped off in a snit.

One of the left´s heroes, the late Senator George McGovern, ran a Country Inn/Bed & Breakfast after he left politics. He remarked that it was one of the hardest jobs he ever had, and that he wished he had run that business BEFORE he went into politics, because that experience would have helped him in Congress.

The CEO of Applebee´s is an Obama supporter. This isn´t political payback. It is an economic necessity

There´s gonna be a whole lot of boycotts coming soon.

Haven´t been to an Applebee´s in a long time. Looks like that´s gonna change.

Just got back from a nice dinner at Applebees.

Two witty posts:

#17: "...Since and Because are interchangeable"
#27: "Put some ice on that and call a waaa-mbulance."

My own comment: I own a business, and I have cut hours to make sure I have no full time employees.

For those panty wetters across the aisle, I also increased the hourly wages for the few I employ who are on fixed wages. The others are on commission, and understand that have themselves to depend on for a raise.

head exploding.... Ayn Rand had it so right. All of the dems think like these idiots. DG in heaven, please .. smarter persons walk on this earth. Back under the bed

Great! Liberal free zones.

I am calling for a boycott of Obamacare.

Slow down before you decide to launch an anti-boycott at Applebees or Papa John´s. Wait until you see what actually HAPPENS. Remember when the Susan G. Komen Foundation was being vilified for cutting support for Planned Parenthood? Conservatives leaped into action, showering them with money, only to have the Komen Foundation backtrack and fall back in line with PP. And with all those yummy conservative dollars safely deposited in the bank. When the layoff notices actually go out, will be the time to demonstrate support.

My guess is that these boycotts will be as successful as the Domino´s boycott. I remember liberals declaring they´d put Domino´s out of business because the Catholic founder supported Catholic causes.

Sounds like ValJar has called out her army of student stooges. I remember she said that she would have an army behind her in order to get her agenda accomplished. What is it with this administration and "behind".

Otherwise it is just another case of the supporters of the "takers" spittin´ on the "makers".

Fire the ones who voted for Obama.

New Democrat tactic get food stamps and avoid Chik-Fil-A, Applebees, Papa John´s etc

amusing, these financial morons don´t seem to understand that this has nothing to do with the owners´ politics and everything to do with the bottom line. There´s gonna be a whole lot of hour cutting going on. This is only the beginning...

Applebee´s does not take food stamps so i doubt to many democrats eat there in the first place..

Had lunch today at Appleby´s.Vet´s ate free.The place was packed and service was great. I will continue to eat there regardless of the liberal´s call of a boycot.

It´s clear that those calling for a boycott have never had P&L responsibility for a business. Going through life as a simpleton surely must be painful.

What´s the problem? If they didn´t want people to lose their jobs, the electorate shouldn´t have voted for the Obama/Obamacare package. It´s not like they weren´t warned.


The electorate got exactly what it asked for. Let it live with what it has done.

Sounds like a good idea for CHRISTMAS presents - Applebee´s gift cards.

Thanks UK I´m going to Applebees´ tomorrow.

Sure, go ahead and get more people laid off you boneheads!
Pretty soon you´ll wind up boycotting yourself one of these days because of your raging ignorance and inability to see the forest for the trees!

Dinner at Applebee´s sounds good!

Obama needs to lay off some communists and hire some economists. He has the two confused. Obama will blame the layoffs on the misguided George Bush .

Sorry, but I gave up on Applebee´s back in July when I went through Eau Claire and stopped at one. It had a NO CCW sign in the window. I talked to the manager and he said it was policy for the group running the area stores.

Got back to Cincinnati and found the same thing. They don´t respect my right to carry, I don´t respect their wishes to take my money.

Money talks, bull crap walks...

Obama.... He made the restaurants run on time.



Back in the USSR err ...USSA

This is a perfect example of what a poor job thecright has done on educating and why they lost the vote.

Good more companies should do this until Ocare is striken. Maybe they will realize that a majority of Americans said NO to it, however they found a way to shove it down our throats anyway, the answer is still NO, NO, NO...

How pathetic, watching people throw a fit when they witness the unintended consequences resulting from this shortsighted Obamacare garbage. News flash: private business owners have to make decisions to stay profitable. That´s right, I said the "P" word, profit. Lefty types think it´s evil to want to make a profit, but without the promise of (and delivered) profit, why would a business owner put their livelihood at risk to run a business (and therefore, employee others) in the first place? Will these same idiots boycott every small business that closes their doors? Will they boycott the doctors who leave their practices because of the paperwork flood?

If it weren´t a sure sign of things to come, it would almost be comical.

Misplaced anger on the part of our sore winners once again. Ummm, your guys crafed the law and passed the law through Congress and your main man signed off on it. The loophole was written into the law by, yeah, you guys. I´d suggest you go to your favorite Dem Congressman and your buddy O and ask them why they allowed it in the bill. Sounds like a great question at O´s next press conference.

Applebees is probably my least favorite restaurant.......
We will be eating there within the next week.

Or Papa John´s cam just double the price of their pizzas in order to pay for Obamacare.

#17 read an explanation here:
http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/because-due-to-since-as.aspx

If such a boycott of Applebee´s is successful a lot more Applebee employees will end up losing their jobs.

Suddenly I feel like eating at Applebees

Proof #87,425,112 that lie-berals are incapable of applying logic, reason or facts to anything. Period. It´s like they are missing that part of their brains.

They only understand feelings, and it just feels to them that those mean old businesses are being meanies. They honestly feel that businesses should exist to serve their employees, not their customers or owners. So they feel like this boycott will force this mean old Applebee´s to change their minds.

Yes, it´s the same level of idiotic feelings that caused these same lie-berals to vote for NØbama in November, even thoug that means far fewer jobs and many more yeas of living in their parents basements or being a part-time waiter at Applebee´s even though they have that woman´s study degree from some overpriced private college...
