Is Starbucks Turning Right Wing?
Timothy Birdnow
Uh, no.
Starbucks isn't moving away from it's crazy progressive values but rather away from the consequences of those values. It is trying to escape the high taxation and crime riddled landscape created by the policies they have espoused over the years. And by moving to Tennessee they are hoping to turn the red-as-blood state blue as the arteries of Martha's Vineyard dwellers, or at least purple as a people eater.
This isn't about changing values - it's about dropping the radical pose to achieve radical ends.
If you want coffee try Folgers.

Well, fer sherr it ain't about the coffee, since Starbuck's is just a fancy-schmancy drink.

I never thought Starbucks coffee was that great either. It was decent but too strong and lacked elegance (I like my coffee like my wine - elegant rather than just powerful).

I had to grab a bit o' breakfast at a fast food emporium this morning and picked America's best -- Mickey D's, of course. Was in a slight hurry because my wife was having a knee replacement and I wasn't interested in what the hospital cafeteria had to offer.
Sausage McMuffin and the ever-reliable McDonald's black coffee (almost as good as what I make at home but didn't have time to do).
Wasn't intending to get political but have always felt Starbuck's is, well, Blue-State.
