No, and pointing out hypocrisy on the left has no effect.
They’re immune to being shamed by such logical conclusions.
Yet public schools cram atheism down the throats of students daily. It seems like 90% of all media is on the side of atheism.
Pot meet kettle.
If it were not for double-standards, the left would have no standards.
A point to be made is that what Starbucks did became a public relations disaster. Despite its awful quality, coffee is what people go to Starbucks for. Few people looking for as great chicken sandwich are happy to get a lecture, sermon or whatever this messaging might be.
There are companies that do very similar things. In-n-out burger is one example - they print bible verses on their cups and other food packaging.
Of course they can. But, it was a bad idea for Starbucks (”STFU and give me the coffee in a clean cup.”), and it will be a bad idea for the other firms, because it interferes with service, and intrudes into the customer’s personal space. IMHO, of course.
Leftist wackos are obsessed with changing society. They are convinced that all Whiteys are racist.
“If Starbucks Can Preach About Race, Can Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby Preach About Christian Values?”
No. Because in a facist/soviet state, you’re only allowed and approved to spew what they permit.
You all think you live in a free Republic, right? LOL
No. They can’t.
You can only preach if you are espousing the liberal view of some issue. So you can preach that you are in favor of homosexuality and homosexual marriage, but not in opposition.
Ditto any other issue, such as global warming. We are allowed to preach about the dangers of global warming and saving the polar bears, but are now allowed to preach in opposition to the hysteria we hear on that subject.
Exactly right - and sick of it.
“Liberalism” is a ploy: talk about tolerance, imputing malice on those who “aren’t tolerant” until your POV goes from un-tolerated to tolerated to enough influence to seize control, then legislate it as the norm and proceed to ban/punish/destroy what was the norm the self-describe “Liberals” didn’t like. It’s a tool, not an axiom.
Freedom of speech for them, but not for you.
Sure, but before they do they should look at the results of Starbucks preaching about race. Didn’t really work out for them.
Whatever a company’s policy is about what latitude they give their employees is their own business. Let ‘em preach about whatever they want, as we preach whatever we want from our businesses. I own my own business and I “preach form my chair” all the time. No one can stop me.
I preach on my feet too...
On the other hand, I do not allow my employees to preach anything contrary to my beliefs. They are welcome to discuss any topic that is decent to public discourse, but those parameters are defined by me also. They will have to gain their own venue if they want to preach contrary to my beliefs.
Starbucks’ CEO, however, should not be confused with those who preach normal Faith based concepts. Normal Faith based concepts are not based upon hatred of traditional values. The recent Starbucks gambits on race & homosexual “marriage,” are not comparable to Faith based concepts—unless arrogant Humanist/Egalitarian lunacy, which appears to be his mantra, can be so described.
libtards = muslims = nazis
no free speech or free thought
love it or leave it.... asap
Yes, Christian corporations should give uplifting Christian messages in their advertising. They would be popular.
