Chik-Fil-A has a right to its opinion, and the muppet company has a right to its opinion as well. Honestly, I would much prefer if both simply stuff it and stick to making chicken and entertaining kids.
Interesting thought.
So next time a CEO is being interviewed by the media doing a personal profile, as almost all successful business people are, you believe when asked by the interviewer, the CEO should just say, "Naw, I, just stick to the business of cooking chicken. I aint no human being with my own thoughts."
So with your thoughts, We can no longer share our ideas and thoughts with the media if asked or has nothing to do with our business?"
But of course we get punished if God forbid, our statement is not politically correct in today's society. It appears many Americans really do not believe in free speech
Chik-Fil-A is a private run company. Since when is talking about traditional values and normal life an opinion that needs to be kept to self. They have supported programs for marriage for many years. Originally, I suppose they supported the programs because of the faltering of the family and rising divorce. Now marriage is being bastardized and being made unrecognizable. Mr. Cathy only reaffirmed where they have been all the time and did not refuse to serve anyone. The Muppets are the ones who made the move away from the norm and decided who they would not serve. They now have to find a way to market their product in a different way to children. Now parents know where Muppets stand and can make their decisions accordingly. Standing for the normal and traditional is not something to be chastised for.
How can you be a conservative and take the middle ground on this issue?
Keep in mind ... the owner of Chick-Fil-A didn't just start parading around his opinion. He was asked a question about it and he answered it. The media are the ones making this a big deal.
