This propoganda is part of the endless argument of people who argue which is best. Ford or Chevy? Religion has no connection to my personal preferences.

its not about religion as much as what Ford is doing to sell Jag's.

I do not believe there is a major company in the USA that does not have a Diversity Program, which pushes the same information in our faces. Most of this has come about due to extremist groups and the court rulings. If the company has a Federal Contract, it can't fulfill the contract without a Diversity Program, as the Federal Government has them all by the Short Hairs!

The individual States have the same Short Hair problem with the Federal Government, and ALL have to have Diversity Programs, to feed at the Federal Government Trough. THey also force the Diversity Programs on their contractors, the same as the Federal Government does.

The Socialist/Communist Agenda has permeated the USA very thoroughly, having been started by the FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) Policies. I know that I heard him state, "I will go down in history as your Socialist President!" His administration was rife with Socialist/Communists and Pinkos (Fellow Travellers also called "Sputniks"). FDR forced the News Agencies to hire Eleanors' personal friends to run them or they did not have access to the "Roosevelt Press Conferences", which would have killed their business. Once they got control of the Press, they went after the Schools, which they got through the Federal Governments' Education Program. So far they have been very successful! The American People lost their control of the Federal Government when FDR was elected, the second time!

Well it said they'll give $1k or so to gay groups for each Jaguar or Land Rover purchase... tells you just how high the profit margins are on those worthless things.

I'll take a Super Duty myself, thank you.

In 1999 Ford donated these amounts for various causes.

Taken from: Corporate Misgivings Large Firms Aid Questionable Causes, Not the Family 1/21/2003
By Christopher Morris
Quote:      
$200,000 to the Federation for Women and Family Planning for "reproductive health and family planning in Poland."

$23,400 to the Foundation for Studies and Research on Women for a sexual education and family planning program in Argentina.

$1 million to the League of Women Voters Education Fund to support "voter education and public affairs."

$20,000 to the League of Women Voters for voter education.

$18,000 to Planned Parenthood for reproductive health and pregnancy prevention.

$20,000 to Working Opportunities for Women.

A $1.5 million three-year grant to the Ms. Foundation for Women to support "reproductive health and women."

$275, 000 to the Maryland Foundation for Women's Civil Rights.
---It is Ford Foundation's business if they choose to contribute money to the above causes. Personally, I find no fault with the choices listed above. But. again, it's not my business to tell Ford how to run their affairs.

I've got nothing for a fag and hate to see Ford stoop that low but I consider Ford trucks to be the best there is. My last 3 new trucks were Ford and unless things change my next new one will be a Ford.

Talking

Bought my Crown Vic in April 2001,perfect,no problems until a week ago,had to replace window motor in front passenger location,not too bad a record.
Average 20 mpg in city an 35 on highway,with the air on,and cost less than a lot of compacts,my reason to like this particular Ford at least,can't say the same for every one,but they did it right on this one!

reminds me of a joke i heard
I like Ford's. I only like Fords. Ford is the only kind of truck I'd own,
F-O-R-D Ford. Because I can't spell Chevrolet

I've had good luck with them. My 1991 Ford F250 is my baby, as reliable as the sun but a bit thirsty.
