Can Ford Motor afford to alienate ANY potential customers? I can tell you that this company has alientated people, because FoMoCo ignores how the majority of Americans, and indeed, how most States in the Union, consider issues such as gay marriage. Rather than taking a neutral stance in the “culture wars”, Ford has decided to make a strong (albeit offensive) statement in it’s endorsement of the homosexual agenda. Prediction: the consequences will prove to be equally strong. WalMart backed away from taking a position of support of the gay agenda, and as such, has preserved it’s customer support. Ford Motor can yet do the same, and claim a neutral position. If it does not, it will wither on the proverbial vine.

I am a past southeast Michigan native with relatives who today still work in the automobile industry. I am a past employee of Ford Motor. I was weaned on the message of “buy American” and “support American auto makers”. Because of the arrogant position taken by Ford Motor on this issue, and because of its willingness to weaken the meaning of the traditional, mother-father American family, I am perfectly willing to let Ford Motor drown in the cesspool of its own choosing. After all, I can still choose GM and Chrysler and feel like I am supporting American-made autos. Is the AFA boycott working? Well, at least for my family, and for many folks that we know, it certainly is!
