Frankly, their heads are so well insulated with mush, I don’t think they could explode…

There is nothng combustible inside a liberal head.

I am not only going to eat there myself, I am going to buy 20 sandwiches for the homeless.

My husband and I will be a day early. We’ve never gone to a Chick-Fil-A but we’re eating at one today.

I just realized that we’ll be there on Appreciation Day. How nice.

I would imagine it’s the donations made to groups that oppose gay marriage that they view as harming gays. Much as the American Family Association felt that the Oreo gay pride campaign hurt them, and so decided to boycott the cookie.

I object to money in the form of my tax dollars being “donated” by the government to groups that promote perversion.

Thanks for that completely irrelevant contribution to this conversation.

Awing1 has it right, as far as the claims go. But… Chick-Fil-A has been donating to what some would call “anti-gay” causes for many years without comment. Clearly, his defense of the word “marriage” is what’s got people so up in arms.

I brought this topic up on my FB page and – I have a lot of lefty friends. One brought this up – actually claiming that Chick-Fil-A donated to groups that actively sought the repression of others’ civil rights (!). I told him that “marriage” is not a right, and asked if he could point out the “anti-gay” causes to which Chick-Fil-A has donated.

It’s been several days now without response…


Awing1 | August 1, 2012 at 6:57 pm

Among the groups that Chick-Fil-A has donated to that could be viewed as “anti-gay” is the Marriage and Family Foundation.

But your first point is well taken, beyond the obvious unconstitutionality of trying to ban Chick-Fil-A for its political speech, the general boycott response seems to be about the stance of the CEO of Chick-Fil-A towards a social and political issue, with the donations as a side issue. I see this as most similar to the boycott of JC Penney after they hired Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson. Bill O’Reilly said it best when he compared trying to get Ellen fired to the Communist blacklists of the McCarthy era. I’d say this is the same, punishing a company for hiring someone who these individuals have a disagreement with on some abstract political view is no different than McCarthyism.

All the “hate” in this controversy appears to be coming from the left (as usual). There was not one word in Mr. Cathy’s statement about hating anybody. He just said he believes in the traditional definition of marriage. If that now qualifies people as “haters” then most of the people in the U.S. are “haters.”

What’s really “hateful” is the unwillingness of the left to allow non-leftist Americans to express a difference of opinion without being subjected to ugly insults, threats of death and bodily injury, and the left’s attempts to shut down businesses and deprive people of their livelihoods.


Awing1 | August 1, 2012 at 6:44 pm

The problem with your argument is, I’ve provided a pretty clear example of it occurring on the right as well.

theduchessofkitty | August 1, 2012 at 2:28 am

Let us know when you’re coming to Houston. Who knows if you end up meeting some of us there?


DocWahala | August 2, 2012 at 8:32 pm

Much appreciated – will be in sugarland but I don’t have the meeting agenda yet, so I’m not sure which afternoon will be free.

Kinda the wrong way to look at it. No one individual changes this. No one individual gets us back on track. I would love to say we have a Reagan, somewhere on the horizon. I don’t see any.

It is a process of eventually overwhelming the RINOs. The damage that has been done (and the GOPe’s are just as complicit as the Dhimmis)and it is going to take a long time to fix. What is incumbent on all of us is to hold every elected officals’ feet to the fire CONSTANTLY.

I would like to think that we can get today’s grandchildren out of the pawn shop that the Obinga regime has sold them to. I hope there is the political will to do so.
