Ten big turnoffs:
10. Drug company ads with gruesome disclaimers we are forced to pay for with excessive charges.
9. Endless and inane insurance ads that take the place of local agents who can serve clients and contribute back to the community.
8. Companies that offer new customers better deals than long-standing loyal customers.
7. Sex, violence and trashing of human values and dignity in the name of “entertainment.”
6. Warm fuzzy fantasies like global warming and political correctness—the new religion of the left.
5. When all else fails and popularity wanes, playing the “race card.”
4. Cries of “racial profiling” that shift responsibility from perpetrators to those who would enforce the law.
3. Those who play the class card to divide a nation and to justify government theft and expansion.
2. Individuals and groups who look the other way to support candidates with different values and questionable ethics to gain self-serving rewards.
1. Politicians who knowingly lie and misrepresent their opponents to gain election, thus guilty of dishonesty as well as theft.
