A word of warning to the Whiny Weasels of Socialism.
Be careful what you vote for…You may just get it and WHEN you get exactly that for which you voted…DON’T START WHINING ABOUT IT!!!
9 days ago, socialists voted for the Emperor and now, they’re starting to realize the fruits of their labors.
Layoffs.
Lots of them.
Socialists now want to boycott Papa John’s and Applebees because they are cutting work hours of their employees. They say such a move is…Un-American.
Really?
Socialists think something is Un-American???
Let me explain this in a way that anyone with a working brain cell can understand it.
Let’s use Papa John’s as our example.
Here is a company which started when somebody decided there was a better way to make pizza. Fresh instead of frozen ingredients, a great sauce a great crust and a great price.
A classic AMERICAN idea.
It grew because people who like pizza liked the complete Papa John’s recipe.
It grew and grew. People wanted to own their OWN Papa Johns and franchises were sold.
Very American.
After the expenses, ingredients, building and real estate costs, insurance, equipment, EMPLOYEES, taxes etc…The typical franchisee had…HAD a profit margin of around 10%.
Now, because of increased regulations, hikes in the minimum wage, rising insurance costs and the clamping down on business loans, higher costs due to rising gas prices for delivery of goods and delivery of pizzas…Over the last 4 years…The average franchisee NOW has a profit margin of…2%.
Along comes Obamacare.
If you have more than 50 full-time employees…YOU GET PENALIZED!!!
THAT is UN-American.
There are 21 new taxes in Obamacare and some of those hit companies like Papa John’s and their franchisees.
NOW…You have the Emperor wanting to HIKE TAXES on those making $250,000.00 and up and THAT will hit Papa John’s small business owners.
Penalizing success with higher taxes is…UN-American.
Here’s where Papa John’s is standing tall.
They realize that the same vise THEY’RE in is also squeezing ALL Americans. High unemployment, high gas prices, shrinking incomes, uncertainty, rising food prices, rising insurance costs…ALL Americans are getting hit.
This is why Papa John’s doesn’t just simply jack up the price of a pie. If they did THAT…LESS people would be BUYING their pizza for dinner.
Papa John’s had a choice to make and cutting workers HOURS made a whole lot more sense to this family oriented company than cutting jobs all together!!!
THAT is VERY AMERICAN.
Socialists…YOUR anger is misplaced.
Boycott Papa John’s???
Papa John’s didn’t create this situation.
YOU did. YOU VOTED FOR IT. TWICE!!! YOU GOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU VOTED FOR!!!
You were also warned.
Before the election, Papa John himself told you what was likely to happen if you voted for the Emperor.
To expect a company, ANY company to swallow these forced increases in the cost of doing business…FORCED BY THE VERY GOVERNMENT YOU VOTED FOR…is UN-AMERICAN.
No business is IN business to break even or lose money regardless of what YOU might think and Papa John’s, as a company, is doing EVERYTHING they can to keep people employed and keep their prices to their customers affordable.
That IS American.
And now, Alinsky’s marching minions want to BOYCOTT???
Are they going to boycott NBC too?
NBC is currently laying off hundreds of employees. Their slew of broadcast outlets are hurting. NBC, Syfy, Bravo, USA, Oxygen, E! and Style are all in the process of layoffs. No more “Attack of the Show” no more “X Play” and other shows are also on the chopping block.
NBC…Obama’s seat cushion and top promoter can’t handle the effects of…Obama.
If socialists are going to boycott Papa John’s, they must also boycott all NBC outlets as well.
And then there’s Stryker.
Stryker is a company which manufactures hospital beds, medical cameras, artificial joints and medical software and other various equipment used in the medical field.
Remember those 21 new taxes in Obamacare?
Well…One of those hits HARD at companies that manufacture MEDICAL EQUIPMENT and another, the one that imposes penalties against ANY company employing more than 50 full-timers ALSO comes into effect.
Stryker is laying off 1,700 employees because they simply can’t afford to do business as usual any longer.
Are socialists also going to boycott anything made by Stryker?
If they’re going to boycott papa John’s they should ALSO find a way to do without hospital beds, medical cameras, artificial joints and medical software REGARDLESS of their afflictions or the health afflictions of their loved ones.
Yes…Jon Stryker of the Stryker company is the EXACT same Jon Stryker who was Obama 5th largest campaign donor.
Not only did Jon Stryker VOTE for these layoffs…HE PAID FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF LAYING 1,700 EMPLOYEES OFF and the very same people who want to boycott Papa Johns APPLAUDED the massive campaign donations Stryker made to the Emperor.
Okay, back to Papa John’s.
The whiny little socialists pushing this absurd boycott ALSO have their little girl panties in a wad because Papa John’s is giving away 2 million free pizzas and, according to the socialist plague, if they can afford that they shouldn’t be cutting worker’s hours.
Ummm…Really?
The same ilk that demands free cell phones, free birth control, free healthcare and any number of entitlements is against free pizzas?
Listen up socialist twirps.
The free Papa John’s pizza thing is called marketing. Papa John’s is gambling that by giving away 2 million pizzas, a big enough number to get people’s attention, will bring in MORE business and MORE profits than the cost OF those 2 million pizzas.
What’s more, they’re making this gamble WITH THEIR OWN MONEY so it is nothing like the Obama gamble on companies like Solyndra, Abound, Beacon and so many more where HE used OUR money and THOSE companies went BANKRUPT.
Allow me to put this in the glaring light of TRUTH…
You socialist weasels…What exactly do you think Obama is doing with “free” cell phones, “free” birth control, “free” healthcare and Amnesty by decree…The “Dream Act?”
HE’S MARKETING FREE STUFF USING TAXPAYER’S MONEY AND IN RETURN…HE GETS MORE VOTES!!!
Papa John’s gives away 2 million free pizzas and in return, HE hopes to get more business.
And Here’s the difference…
GROWING YOUR BUSINESS IS 100% AMERICAN.
BRIBING PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM FREE CRAP FOR VOTES IS 100% ILLEGAL.
And the socialists support the illegal activity and want to boycott a company trying to live the REAL American Dream.
YOU PATHETIC OCCUPIERS OF SOCIALISM DON’T HAVE A WORKING BRAIN CELL AMONGST YOUR FESTERING MASSES!!!
Here is just a PARTIAL list of companies for socialists to boycott because THESE companies are laying off workers due to Obamacare, Obama taxes and Obama’s reelection:
• Boeing (30% of their management staff) –
• US Cellular –
• Momentive Performance Materials –
• Rocketdyne –
• Brake Parts –
• Husqvarna –
• Center for Hospice New York –
• Bristol-Meyers –
The Following is a PARTIAL list of companies that socialists CAN’T boycott because…THEY ARE CLOSING COMPLETELY due to the reelection of the Emperor:
- Caterpillar Inc. will close its plant in Owatonna Minn.
- Mount Pleasant’s Albrecht Sentry Foods
- The Target store at Manassas Mall Va.
- Millennium Academy in Wake Forest NC

Socialists say this is all in revenge for the Emperor’s reelection.
REVENGE???
This isn’t REVENGE…
This is the RESULT of the SOCIALIST VOTE!!!
I can guarantee you that these lists will grow and grow and grow and what should hit socialists over the head like a hammer is that the list of growing businesses is SHRINKING while the lists of CLOSING and DOWNSIZING businesses are the lists that are GROWING.
THAT is what is UN-American.
If boycotts are the socialists response to the BEGINNING of the plunge, what are they gonna do when that for which they voted RUNS OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY???
The answer to THAT can be found in Greece, Poland and Spain.
Tomorrow is Papa John’s appreciation day and while socialists cry over spilled free birth control pills, boycotting the results of exactly that for which they voted, I suggest that we, the conservatives who warned them, make it Papa John’s for dinner!!!
Let the whiny weasels of socialism eat crow.
We must be ever watchful of the changes that are upon the citizens of the U.S.A.
Remember what our fore fathers fought for and the history of the growth of the the country. It was never big government but actually the risk of the private individual to make his or her dream come true!
And these “free pizza” deals were WAY before any election.
Here’s the thing I don’t understand. Maybe if Papa John’s didn’t give away so many pizzas they wouldn’t need to cut hours.
He talked about how he would have to raise the price of his pizzas…but every time I look I’m inundated with emails offering “$5 pizzas! Buy 6 get 1 free, 2 for 1” deals…just a thought.
i guess since Payton Manning of the Denver Broncos is promoting Papa John’s then we better boycott Manning and the Broncos. By the way, are the Broncos being forced to use Obamacare?
Never has this been more true:
II Timothy 3:1-5,7 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
The poor misguided fools thought that $250,000.00 was only for individuals.They are displaying their ignorance in the world of business.
Scary, what does this tell us? Socialists are not Christians. The Bible tells us.”thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods.” I picture them as zombies, like the walking dead, trying to break the doors down to change everyone into what they are. Only in this case Greedy.
“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” BH0.
Craig, thank you for this well written article. A true picture of the results of uneducated voters who wanted only one thing, entitlements. What they didn’t realize is that those entitlements were not in jeopardy by Mitt Romney as they were told and they so fiercely defended, but by their own leader. There is no way the government can sustain the number of entitlements if they don’t receive taxes from working people. Taxing the rich isn’t going to do it. The rich will protect their assets and send their money overseas or just simply move from here. The jobless claims this morning prove that they voted for more of the same, destruction of businesses, job losses and more dependence on the government for how ever long it can sustain the people. What a comforting thought, isn’t it? Well, I totally agree with you, they got what they wanted but now the whole country will have to pay for their selfish actions. They couldn’t see the American dream promised by Mitt Romney for a brighter future. Instead, they voted for the one who can control and/or take away their meager food stamps, phones etc. Now we will all have to feel the pain of their agenda. I feel so sorry for our country. They have just put the last nail in America’s coffin.
