Whoops! I was too busy over Thanksgiving to remember to post this year’s AFA Naughty & Nice list in time for the retailers’ holidays; “Black Friday” and Cyber Monday.” Oh well, better late than never
 
Every year the American Family Association publishes a list of the top retailers, assigning each to one of three categories based on the company’s willingness to acknowledge the Reason for the Season.

 
Happily, most of my favorites are “nice” this year, including L.L.Bean, Michaels, Cabela’s, JoAnn Fabrics, Bed Bath & Beyond – even Kroger (hey, gotta buy groceries!).

 
Some of last year’s “Nice” stores are only marginal in 2016, like Amazon and Kohls And unfortunately – though not really surprising considering our continual cultural decline – the “Naughty” list grew longer this year ~
 

• Academy Sports + Outdoors
• Barnes & Noble
• Best Buy
• Dollar General
• Family Dollar
• Foot Locker
• Gap, Inc.
• The Limited
• Maurice’s
• Nordstrom
• Office Depot
• Office Max
• Pet Smart
• Staples
• Stein Mart
• Supervalu
• UncommonGoods.com
• Victoria’s Secret

 
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always felt that stores who eagerly sought to profit off Christmas – yet pretend they don’t know why most of us are even shopping in December – certainly don’t deserve to have we Christians play along with their little charade.
 
If you still have shopping to do this year (I sure do!), please keep the Naughty or Nice list in mind, and spend accordingly.

#AnywhereButTARGET ~ Here’s another handy guide from a website that calls itself 2nd Vote. Founded as a way to stand up to the cultural decline so many of us have been resisting, 2nd Vote calls themselves a conservative watchdog for corporate activism. They’re exposing the corporations and organizations funding liberal advocacy ~

By putting big business on watch through our extensive research on the most important issues of the day, our mission is to expose the corporate influence on major policy decisions and turn the tide on the attacks on conservative values and principles.

 
2nd Vote’s helpful list rates retailers (including food & beverages, electronics and travel sites) based on their positions (or neutrality) on various issues like marriage, life, 2nd Amendment, religious liberty, etc.. All good stuff to know when you’re spending your hard-earned dollars.
