How sad how things change:

[TNNurse]

It is clear now that I would not have anything to do with a business with "Liberty", "Freedom", or "Patriot" in the name. Those words did not use to mean the opposite, but now they do. I suspect there are other words they have corrupted, but these come to mind.

[Aristus]

1. Same here.

And if I see the Christian fish symbol on the website of a contractor, I immediately start looking elsewhere.

[RKP5637]

3. Same here!!! n/t

[CrispyQ]

5. +1 -nt

[Nay]

8. Yup. Me, too. NT

[Diamond_Dog]

13. Me too, any business.

[The Magistrate]

2. It's Creeping Newspeak

Patriot is Traitor.

Freedom is slavery.

Liberty is obedience.

[Ocelot II]

4. The other one to avoid in most cases is "Family"

unless it's a business that obviously has something to do with families, like a day-care center or a kid-themed restaurant. Otherwise it has that phony Christian patriot vibe. I would definitely not do business with, say, "Patriot Family Plumbing & Heating." Liberty Mutual Insurance has been around for a long time so AFAIK it's just another insurance company.

6. well, would have always avoided patriot.

Patriotism is The Last Refuge of The Scoundrel - Samuel Johnson

7. Support the Troops

By taking away their benefits and shutting down their hospitals and clinics.

[edhopper]

9. Don't tell

Limu Emu!

[RussBLib]

10. "Moms for Liberty" is a latest incarnation

Liberty my ass. Should be "Moms for Authoritarians."

I wonder how many of them are ...oh, nevermind.

[NullTuples]

11. From "politically correct" to "woke"...appropriating terms that threaten them is what they do.

[Diamond_Dog]

12. In my area you see "Heritage" and "Colonial" a lot too

in business names, and I avoid those as well as “Patriot”,”Liberty”, “Freedom”, etc.

Actually, TNNurse, you have voiced a long held opinion of mine … so thank you!
