... The Jim Henson Company ...has severed promotional ties with Chick-fil-A – . . .
Their crime? Failure to obey the nauseating, mind-numbing dictates of political correctness.
Dan Cathy . . . recently made a few innocuous public comments in support of legitimate marriage – sentiments the vast majority of morals-minded Americans happen to agree with...
That’s the thing... about political correctness. It exists in the realm of fantasy...
They float the propagandist idiom “marriage equality” – choosing all the while to ignore objective “marriage reality.”
So-called “same-sex marriage”? A counterfeit... “Gay marriage” is no more real marriage then a rotten apple is an orange.
It’s unavoidable. Marriage is, by definition, the joining of two complementary opposites – two “others.”
“Gay marriage” is mock marriage. It’s fantasy – a dead end. Even a child knows this intuitively and, in their heart-of-hearts, lefties and “gay” activists know it, too. That’s why they respond so violently when people snicker at it or, as in the case of Dan Cathy, even respectfully acknowledge that it’s not grounded in reality...
The wonderful thing about liberals is that they almost universally overplay their hand. They respond to “inconvenient truths” with hysterical, reactionary overreach. There’s been a magnificent backlash from their attacks on Chick-fil-A. They’ve picked a fight they cannot win.. .

Here’s how the gay agenda can ultimately defeat Chickfil-A.
Just covert (or pervert) every rooster in the nation to practicing gay sex. Results become no more chickens. For faster results just convert all existing chickens into lesbians and shun the roosters altogether. Any Rooster who breaks the rules will be circumcised and then prosecuted for a hate crime.
That will teach Dan Cathy a lesson, ehehehehe.
Thanks for that link, going...

The heart of it: they overreact when we say the Emperor is butt nekkid. Sad.
True, but things can reverse if the other side stops capitulating and being passive and complacent.
Moreover: If the political and social climate were to change suddenly and drastically:
things have a way of changing when economic hardship, global war, natural catastrophes set in. Sad to think it will take all of that to reverse this trend, but I do believe anything less will not do the trick.
But saying the Emperor has no clothes consistently is the key to reversing them. Let’s hope the Chick-Fil-A incident is the beginning of change.
You’re right if things keep going as they have been for 15 years. But we can’t let them keep going that way.
Yes they crossed the line. I frankly have no problem if lefties want to boycott my favorite businesses as long as they let me know they hate the places where I shop. When they do that I make it a point to shop there more often.
Where the lefties went over the line was in getting the governments of Boston and Chicago to try to intimidate Chick-fil-A by the denial of permits and stating that they don’t want businesses with MY VALUES in their town. Well the normal, everyday, go-along-to-get-along, moderate, mind-your-own-busienss, family-values Americans had a visceral reaction to the Nazi tactics of Boston and Chicago and as a result everyone is jumping on the Chick-fil-A bandwagon and the liberals are literally going insane over it (Just read some of the comments on the Chick-fil-A facebook page).
They can’t believe that people are not following the politically correct zeitgeist that they have been slowly cramming down our throats and we have risen up against their PC tyranny.
I am hopeful that this is the first defensive volley in the war to destroy our American values. I pray that the liberals continue to overplay their hand because it is great to see them standing on the firing lines and shooting themselves in the feet.
The culture war is on. The battle lines have been drawn and the soldiers are on the march. Let us hope that someday we will look upon the Chick-fil-A war as the Waterloo of the left’s war against Christians and traditional Judeo-Christian values.
ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
Marching on to Chick-fil-A... and beyond!
See you all there on August 1 AND August 3.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Buy gift cards for your liberal friends and families.
Take America back.
That’s the spirit!: We should make them rue the day they started up this whole mess. I think they will live to regret it. They aren’t going to be able to unring this bell now.
I think its a mistake to assume its overreach and that they can’t win. Recent history suggests otherwise.
What I think will happen is that they’ll tone down the rhetoric a tad, but then actually implement the ban behind the scenes in a more subtle manner. As any pol knows, there are a thousand ways to do it.
And, yes, it is a slippery slope. I can imagine Government punishing citizens for contributing to the GOP because some bureaucrat decided it “promotes hatred” of some sort.
Will they be converting to Judaism?
Liberals are routinely counter-intuitive, where most people with any common sense would see if they're in a losing position would either meld it to more meet the consensus or would at least not keep digging the hole of trying to force everyone to go along with them.
To quote Michael Savage, "liberalism is a mental disorder".
Love your tagline! I just read Animal Farm recently and was thinking that line would be a good tagline. It’s frightening how much the story is playing out even today.
Next we will be told that being heterosexual is a hate crime.
Guess I must have slept through any boycott against Target for anything conservative.
Target is and has been as liberal as you can get. Its owned by the family of that pea-brainded ex-Senator and now MN gov. Dayton.
In a democracy, it is the responsibility of government, at all levels, to protect and defend the rights of all citizens, including the rights of legitimate minority representations.
But this can not and should not always be done at the expense of the larger public interest and larger public good!
The gay movement, for years, has been protected, defended AND promoted, NOT just by individuals, but by government, often at the expense of that public interest and public good.
Until there is some kind of sensible reversal on the part of many governments in our nation, state, local, county, municipal and of course federal, our beloved nation is heading towards a terrible meltdown!
The liberals are not losing the culture war. This skirmish is a test to determine the new outer limits of their control. Don’t be fooled, look at the research on public opinion, this war is lost.
Sure will - just follow the dots. This nation is so screwed up it will never be the free country is once was. It won't be long before our churches turn to mosques, 85% of your money goes to the government for redistribution & another Janet will determine whether you live or die.
Remember when Gianni Versache was tortured and murdered by another gay, Andrew Cunanan? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Versace
When the gay-loving media found out that Versache’s murder was gay, they had an absolute cow! It was find Gianni's murderer 24/7 in the media. All of law enforcement was to drop everything to find the killer of their fave rave, Gianni. The gay community was also in a tizzy because the promiscuous male buggerers didn't know if their new “partner” was really a gay serial killer. Oh, heavens! The homosexual lobby breathed a collective sigh of relief when Cunanan killed himself 8 days after Versache’s body was found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cunanan
What the militant 2% of the gay population has not figured out is they are increasingly loathed and despised by the 98% who do not share their perverted lifestyle and values. The more they attempt to legitimize it, the more violent the blowback when it comes. Payback will not be pretty.
