This story illustrates how narrow-minded and polarized America has become. I find it really scary!
Lowe's should have become intimately aware of all the actions and script of the program.

Then when a faction wants to protest their decision, they can take the moral higher ground defending their action, when the protesters number ten or ten million.
Of course this is only a freedom-loving, card carrying liberal's point of view.
