That's because they're elected for a 2-year term.

And lets not forget an equivalent piece of shit J.T. Ready who was running around in the desert playing Border Patrol and subsequently killed his entire family and himself.

And a special shout out to convicted child molester and former Minuteman Chris Simcox, who is spending 10 years in prison.

1. Deciding to not attend a theatrical presentation because you don't like something one of the actors did, is, technically, a "choice" -- not a boycott -- and doesn't make you any more or less of a jerk than you were before you made the decision.

2. Threatening a boycott (an organized campaign to persuade or shame others to join you in non-attendance) for the same minor reason -- in this case, because the actor expressed a political viewpoint with which you disagree -- is an abuse of the technique of boycott, and is kind of a jerk move. Serious boycotts are aimed at developing political / economic leverage to address serious concerns, not "gotchas" to try to hurt individuals that have pissed you off.

3. I'm a little sympathetic toward the producer. Given the location, she had to be worried that the kerfuffle would impact ticket sales, even without a "boycott" (see 1 above). Ms. Alonso spared her having to make a "business decision".

4. Based on the excerpt of the Fox interview in the linkie, Ms. Alonzo has as poor a grasp of what the First Amendment says as do many of our "favorite" conservatives. No, guys, it doesn't say that you cannot be criticized for things you say or do.

The Conservative Persecution Complex is down the Peninsula thirty or forty miles, iirc.

I personally think that owning a Chihuahua should be a firing offense in all areas of work. But that's just me and my dislike of small animals that vibrate.
