We are standing boldly and speaking with civility and the subtle thunder in these non angry voices is deafening.
For years people of faith and conservatives have been afraid to speak, 8/1/12 was the death of Political Correctness, thank you Mr. Cathy.
But what I am about to say maybe more controversial, Thank You Glenn Beck. You told us to go boldly with out fear and to speak the truth.
My guess is within the bowels of the DNC, Progressive Think Tanks, and Soros Shadow Progressive Group, they are starting to see that wave on the horizon, and it is starting to dawn on them it maybe a Tusnami....
For me, the crux of this issue is not gay marriage. I do not like gay bashing. Any gay person is someone’s son or daughter and is a child of God. The bashing that goes on gives the other side ample justification for calling us haters. Expressing a view as Mr. Cathy did was not gay bashing and Christians should follow that example.
That being said, the Chick-Fil-A phenomenon is the tip of the iceberg. What’s underneath is a huge mass of anger and frustration at liberals who circumvent the will of the people by judicial activism and executive fiat.
This has been going on for decades. Look at all the referendums in various states that are overturned by courts; at Florida 2000; Kelo; Obamacare; TARP; Porkulus; Frank/Dodd and subprime mortgages; out of control spending; lack of border controls; on and on.
We go to the ballot box with the hope and trust that we live in a representative Republic, yet every time we turn around, we are met with the tyranny of the minority.
These are the issues we should carry into November because they are the winning issues at the top of voters’ concerns.
You can add Gonzaga University "Progressives" to that:
So embarrassed for you. It takes a special kind of wingnut to express support for the First Amendment, and advertise his strangely virulent aversion to gay rights, by standing in line to buy junk food at a fast food restaurant.
The person that posted that spent too many of his waking hours at Jack & Dan's Tavern.
A friend’s daughter works at a Chick-Fil-A. They are a strong Christian family.
Anyway, on Wednesday her daughter (let’s call her Judy) was working and there were about ten protesters across the grass from the restaurant on the sidewalk next to the highway.
One of Judy’s friends joined the protesters because he is liberal and agrees with the homosexuals that it is a human rights issue. Because it was such a hot day, Judy decided to take a glass of water to him. When she gave it to him the other protesters assumed she supported them. When asked she said no, but she thought they were hot and could use some water.
The “F” word and various other spittle drenched epitaphs ensued.
Bottom line is that this whole thing is a form of “TEA Party meets OWS”. The differences between the two groups and their “attitude” is striking.
Sadly, I do not think this will end well. The conservatives understand the concept of “speak softly, but carry a big stick”. They are much more well armed than these loudmouth punks and are much more well trained.
