Yes but the First Amendment doesn't say anything about consequences you may recieve by exercising that right.

You're absolutely right. Chick-Fil-A says something someone doesn't like, and the consequences are that this someone then says something Chick-Fil-A doesn't like.

Again, hiding behind the First Amendment cuts both ways. Why? Because freedom is a means to an end, not an end in itself. We need to use our freedom to pursue morality rather than using it as a license for immorality. Then the battle will take place where it should, rather than on the uncertain ground of "freedom of speech" where the outcome could go either way.

I like your argument. However, liberals and progressives have very little absolute morals - other than hating the morals of others. In other words, the liberals aren't just attacking our "freedom of speech." They are SPECIFICALLY attacking Christian and conservative morality!

They don't like us having freedom of speech, but they HATE us having morals! They want to make our moral objection to homosexuality ILLEGAL! At this point and time, the homosexual mafia is winning this battle - in the legal courts. I think the American public showed on Wednesday - and all the voter referendums against same-sex marriage - that the homosexuals are NOT winning over our hearts and minds! In other words, they aren't winning the "moral" fight.

I am paraphrasing a found father, but he said something about our Constitution not being suited for a moral-less society. The direction America is heading, where Christian morals and values are being bashed, mashed and scolded by the MSM and liberals, I think we are seeing that he was most certainly CORRECT!
