The Bigots On Facebook Are ALL Excited For Chikin Tomorrow!

Someone tweeted that half a million people took part. Half a million isn't that many in the scheme of things considering there are some 30 million Evangelicals in the US. It sounds like a Chick-Fil-A fail to me.

What does the government have to do with the event? Are you SERIOUS? You obviously have not been following the story.
*The mayor of Boston told Chick Fil A that they are not welcome in that city. He also said that they would have a hard time getting zoning rights to open a shop in his city.
*THe mayor of San Francisco said that the closest Chick Fil A to that city was 40 miles away, "and they better keep it that way."

*And the mayor of Chicago, former Obama sidekick Rahm Emanuel, said that Chick Fil A does not represent the "culture" of Chicago (you know, the city where 7 year old girls selling lemonade get shot in gang wars!).

Government official trying to use their political clout to illegally punish people or businesses who say things they disagree with is a violation of Freedom of Speech. You have GOVERNMENT trying to punish those whose speech they disagree with.

And you ask What does government have to do with the event??
GIMME A BREAK!

Mikey, as your sit there screaming about free speech certainly you realize that (most) speech is free, but action isn't, right? Chick-Fil-A has as much recourse in the courts as any other entity.

JESUS CHRIST, Mikey, you and all the other moronic people who DO NOT LISTEN can eat your fried chicken until your arteries clog.

This is NOT ABOUT FREE SPEECH.

You and that blowhard CEO can believe ABSOLUTELY anything you want. NO ONE is saying you can't. These A$$HOLES are donating the profits from consumer dollars to support HATE GROUPS, ones that have gone so far as to defend Uganda's "Kill The Gays" bill, and trying to keep US citizens from having equal civil rights ALL IN THE NAME OF RELIGION. They donate to ex-gay ministries, which have been called dangerous by the American Psychiatric Association. THAT is what everyone is boycotting. He could say he likes to f@ck goats on the Sabbath for all I care. Words are words. It's the religious oppression we are boycotting.

Your right to your faith and beliefs stops where my life begins.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Interesting thing. I am wondering if there is going to be a backlash against the Muppets, (you know Piggy, Kermit and Gonzo) because Henson Productions pulled their toys. Funny thing is The Muppets are no longer a part of Jim Henson Productions, they are owned by Disney, have been since a few years after Jim's death. The toys in question were from The Jim Henson Creature shop. Think these idiots will know the difference?

Even though the NUMBERS may not be impressive, I found the picutres of the morons waiting pretty impressive (not in a good way). Even up here in liberal Massachussets the lines were crazy (granted, we only have a few CFA in all of New England).


The man is allowed to believe anything he wants, and even to state it publically, but it is the FINANCIAL support of hateful, harmful groups that I protest. And I find it woeful that so many financially supported his "free speech" and gave him more money with which to spread his hate.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

The lines were out the door at the local store as well. Made me sad. I made a comment about it on my facebook last night and I was immediately accused of not believing in the first amendment. Anyone who thinks that this is a first amendment issue cannot see the whole picture. No one I have spoken to has said they're not entitled to their opinion. It's the fact that they are actively trying to hurt someone else. That they are knowingly trying to deny rights the rights of their fellow man. Like, drama, that is what I am against. I am against hatred not the first amendment. I will also be pulling away from Wendy's after hearing about an owner's support of CFA

"Will you now respond to the second half of my post?"

No. The second part of your post is based on a false premise. It would be like me beginning a question with, "Since you beat your wife and children every day...."

"Anyone who thinks that this is a first amendment issue cannot see the whole picture. No one I have spoken to has said they're not entitled to their opinion."

You don't know what you are talking about. This is nothing BUT a free speech and freedom of religion issue. Government officials, specifically the mayors of San Fransisco, Boston and Chicago, threatened Chick Fil A with government action because of something the owner said.
How is that NOT a 1st amendment issue?

Because it's about something the owner DID not said. He's giving money to hate groups. Groups that advocated for the "kill the gays" bill in Africa. He working to have gay people executed just for being gay. It's his actions people have a problem with not his words.

If the Cathy family were radical Muslims and forbade women from showing bare arms or wearing short shorts in the restaurant, that would be considered ridiculous and oppressing. This is not about freedom of religion. It's about freedom of Christianity alone.

Bingo. It's less about words and more about deeds.

And it's about hypocrisy. Most anti-gay Christians point to Leviticus for a verse "condemning" homosexuality. So, how about we look at another verse in Leviticus?

"Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat... And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you." - Leviticus 11:3&7.

But look what Chick-Fil-A sells six mornings a week.

Go eat your God-condemning unclean pig, you hateful pigs.

"He's giving money to hate groups."

1. Donating money has been defined by the SCOTUS as a means of speech, protected by the US Constitution.

2. Hate groups? Anyone who disagrees with a progressive is considered to be practicing "hate". According to the progressive movement, the Boy Scouts of America is a "hate" group! Progressives really are becoming a laughing stock because of this.

Work with me here, Mikey, and tell me where the premise goes false.

1. Dan Cathy donates millions to groups who work to bring about legislation to deny marriage rights to gay Americans (among other anti-gay causes they espouse).

2. Every adult except gay Americans can marry the person of their choosing and enjoy a whole bunch of rights.

3. If you don't think gay Americans should be able to marry whom they choose and enjoy those rights, is it not because you think they're not entitled to them?

What am I getting wrong?
