Co-ops once were an integral part of the community. Now they are a bunch of greed driven stores that use non profit status to drive out mom and pop businesses

I have traveled around the nation and have promoted buying made in the USA and buying from legitimate trading partners with the USA. While BOZEMAN CO-OP says be a "yokel buy local" they sell made in china coffee mugs, thermos, Bozeman CO-OP HEMP HATS ARE NON UNION MADE IN CHINA.
On Page One of the Bozeman Co-Ops web page is off all thing ALGORES DECEIT AND MANIACAL TIRADES IN HIS BOOK ON HIS VERSION OF WHAT IS WARMING THE PLANET.
THE BOZEMAN co-op GOES ON TALKING ABOUT all the wonderful things they are doing for the community and local farmers. How they are a compassionate not for profit organization. What a crock!
This same oh so caring store has expanded it's not for profit store to compete with family owned bakeries who d not have the not for profit luxury and have to pay taxes.
The cars of THE CO-Op parking lot are filled with gas guzzling SUV'S WITH ANTI BUSH, PRO ENVIRONMENT STICKERS ON THEIR 10 MILE PER GALLON SUVS THAT ARE DRIVEN WITHOUT PASSENGERS BY THOSE OH SO COMPASSIONATE ENVIRONMENTALITS.
We cannot forget that the animal rights left wing gang who has no trouble wearing their leather shoes and shopping in a store that sells made in India leather and a full array of butcher shop products.
This past summer one could see numerous SUVs with environmentalist stickers on the SUVs which were kept running with the air conditioning on, polluting Montana so Johnny could stay nice and cool in the car.
We must not disregard that the, oh so caring store that promotes buy local is selling made in China "BOZEMAN CO-OP HATS" BECAUSE THEY WANNA FREE TIBET?
I DON'T THINK SO
LIKE IT OR NOT, WAL MART SELLS MANY OF THE SAME ITEMS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST. What is the difference between Wal Mart and the Bozeman CO-OP? WELL, WAL MART GIVES MORE TO CHARITY, HAS REASONABLE PRICES AND ARE HYPOCRITTERS...
WHAT IS FAIR TRADE ABOUT BUYING CHINESE MADE PRODUCTS?
NOTHING, THE CO-OP IS NOT PRACTICING WHAT THEY PREACH
SO I GAVE UP ON SHOPPING AT OVER PRICED "LIBERAL" ESTABLISHMENTS WITH A HOLIER THAN THOU ATTITUDE.
Based on Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck” bit, I’ve put together a “You just might be a liberal hypocrite (but then again, I repeat myself).”
If you think that the government should guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion because it is her body and she should make decisions about it, yet think that the government should limit fast food restaurants because that same woman cannot make decisions about her body, then you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think that killing an unborn human being is a human right, then you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you believe that the “General Welfare” clause of US Constitution actually allows for the government to take someone’s hard earned tax money and give it to someone else, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you are outraged by Michael Vick’s charges of dog fighting, yet support the mass murder of innocent, unborn babies in the name of abortion, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think that America cannot afford Bush’s tax cut, but America can afford to fly around liberals and their children, then you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you whine on Truthdig.com about doctors assisting with torture, and at the same time defend doctors that kill unborn babies, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think a woman can kill her unborn baby because it is her body and she should have control over it, but you think that the government is justified in passing a law that says this same woman must wear a seat belt to protect her body, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think a 13 year-old is not smart and mature enough to make the right choice in eating fatty food in the school cafeteria, but you think this same 13 year-old is smart and mature enough to have an abortion without telling her parents, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you acknowledge that Dan Rather’s memos were a forgery, but you still think the report was accurate, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think a tax cut must be paid for, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think Bill Clinton having sex with Monica Lewinski was all part of the Vast Right Ring Conspiracy, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you believe that the Democrats lead the Civil Rights movement, and ignore the fact that the Democrats controlled all the Southern states during this period, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you believe that the Democrats actually want to see blacks succeed in America, and ignore the fact that Democrats controlled all the slave states, and a Republican, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think Adolf Hitler was evil and Margaret Sanger was a saint, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you actually believe that Bill Clinton balanced the budget, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you actually understand how John “Did I tell you I had 3 Purple Hearts” Kerry was for the war before he was against it, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
If you think the Supreme Court appointed W in 2000, and ignore the fact that every Democratic Senator validated the Electoral College results, you just might be a liberal hypocrite.
