Seems to me that you're making the (false) assumption that
gardeners can't be conservative.

That's a peculiar conclusion.

Why is it peculiar? The OP made a point of stating that Mr.
Banks is Republican and supports Republican politicians, and
therefor gardeners (this IS a gardening forum, is it not?)
should not shop at HD.

It seems like an advisory statement to me.
"This is what I heard.

It was a statement of fact (albeit incorrect),not an
opinion.

Statements of fact don't start with a disclaimer about hearing something
second-hand from a friend

Sorry, won't wash. The OP made the statement that Arthur
Blank is the CEO of HD. Factually incorrect.

The reason that your assumption is wrong is that
nowhere did the OP say that if you were a liberal you shouldn't shop at HD.

Oh, come on! Insinuation DOES mean something. If it
didn't, what in the world were all those speeches about for
the last four days at the DNC?

The Republican party has deviated away from
reasonable conservative values

"Reasonable" is in the eye of the beholder. You're simply
stating an (your?) opinion.

into the land of NEO-conservatism, AKA,
fascism.

Define "NEO-conservatism". Define "fascism". Are they
really the same?

In fact, it doesn't look like Nancy Reagan supports Bush

Since when is Nancy Reagan the arbitor of what Conservatism
stands for?
