...Progressive politicians from coast to coast were lining up last week to keep Chick-Fil-As...restaurants out of their towns after the companys president... made statements that [he supports traditional marriage]. . .
Chicago alderman Joe Moreno, called Cathy bigoted and homophobic and added: Because of this mans ignorance, I will now be denying Chick-Fil-As permit to open a restaurant in the 1st Ward. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said that goes for the entire city: Chick-Fil-A values are not Chicago values..........
You know who the big loser will be in that scenario?
Progressives and their companies. Because, like it or not, theyre the ones who dont share majority values.
Across America, the right to gay marriage has appeared on the ballot 32 times over the past few years, and it has lost every single time. Only six states and the District of Columbia issue licenses for same-sex marriages...
If pandering progressive politicians are allowed to put Chick-Fil-A out of business, you can bet that the folks on the other side will be doing the same to Amazon.com, whose founders just donated $2.5 million to support a gay-marriage initiative in Washington State.
Say so long to Oreos (Nabisco, earlier this summer, put them in a bag featuring a cookie with a multicolored gay-pride stuffing) as well as Cheerios, Pillsbury pastries and Green Giant vegetables (owner General Mills is opposing a Minnesota constituional amendment that would outlaw gay marriage). JC Penney, which has put pictures of gay dads in its catalogs and uses Ellen Degeneres as its spokeswoman, will be history. And well all be living in Murfreesboro.

We need to replace the term progressive with regressive because their objectives devolve to the lowest common denominator.”
Bravo.
You can get everything you need from Amazon at Buy.com. Same free shipping with a $25 order and they aren’t giving in to the tax crowd like Amazon and their new love of homosexuals.
Glad kitty is fine, but take care of that finger, cowgirl.
What really bothers me the most about this is that these progressives were NOT demonizing the personal views of Barack Obama three months ago, when he AGREED with the owner of Chick-fil-a.
I would love to be able to counterprotest these people with a sign that says, "Three months ago, Obama agreed with Chick-fil-a! Where were you then?"
I'm buycotting Chick-Fil-A too...
Thank you for the reminder, I have 5 houndies, although two are chihuahuas and can share.
You’ll have to stop using computers too.
Gates and Ballmer both donated big $$ to the Washington State initiative also, and Apple’s top dog is a gay guy.
And you are/were on anti-biotics I hope.
I guess now is as good a time as any to bring this up.
If left manages to SILENCE a business owner that they disagree with, then what’s to keep them from SILENCING candidates as the next step.
I live in Texas, and Ted Cruz is running for US Senate. Assuming that he’s normal, he’s probably against Gay Marriage (I don’t know, just assuming). So, if I, somehow show support for him (either speaking or giving money), do I get descended upon by the left?
Not to mention Ted - for NOT doing what he’s told to do. We are ONE STEP away from that, so we BETTER take a stand at Chick-a-fill and keep them going.
Chick-Fil-A values are not Chicago values.
1) Blacks make up 30% of Chicago population and they are NOT pro-homo.
2) There is a large percent of Mexicans in Chicago and they are definitely NOT pro Homo.
3) The Muslims in Chicago loathe Homos.
4) The blue collar types that vote Democrat do not like the Homos.
5) The only pro homos in Chicago are wealthy lefties in ritzy neighborhoods, Academia, the media and the pickle chuggers residing there....and these folks are only the 1% of the population.
FYI, they’re BUYcotting, as in going out of their way to buy stuff there, not boycotting...
I went on Friday. It was the first time I’ve eaten at a CFA, and it will definitely not be the last.
Ditto. We did the same thing today for the same reason. DH specifically mentioned that FOX wasn't worth it any longer. My reasoning was that it was gay-time on every show (that we were paying for) and I didn't want to sponsor the "cause."
We've become MAJOR Mark Levin fans, sitting around the radio like the old days. LOL
The Murfreesboro folks have basically done what Rahm and Menino have done. Is there a distinction between Islam and sharia Islam ? I'm asking.
I have eaten there once per week forever. But not lately though, as the lines at the drive through have ran out into the streets.
Continuing the divisiveness is Obama’s and the left’s aim. We should soon be shooting gays in the streets. Start packing or you could be a victim. (And I don't mean your suitcase)
I have already “buycotted” Mass and Illinois.
Or Islam
I think it comes with a co-coa-la :-)
