Christians are not going to set this one out.

Remember, November is Coming!

Where else in the world would a) the president of a chicken restaurant chain feel it was within his remit to publicly endorse "the traditional family,"...
Well, how about this, you piece of eurotrash, here in America we don't designate who has and doesn't have free speech. Free speech is within ALL of our "remit", which I assume is eurotrashspeak for "permitted actions".

And in fact, we don't HAVE "permitted actions"... we have INALIENABLE RIGHTS... your dork-head piece of eurofilth.

The polls are wrong.

Mr. Obama is going to get his butt kicked all the back to:

“The Chicken’s On The Car, So The Car Can’t Go!” or Chicago!

The polls are showing a pretty much dead heat...
with massive oversampling of democrats.

I'd take that last bit off the resume if I were him.

Now if only we had a candidate who believed like the people who ate at Chick-fil-A this week.

Where is the picture of Romney holding up a CFA cup and a bag of chicken sandwiches and supporting capitalism and free speech and traditional values?

Still waiting.

Paging Mr. Romney.

Eating my CFA take-out now.

Saw ZERO “protestors” ZERO NONE ZILCH

At 1 pm there were at least 15 cars still in drive-thrus, winding into the adjacent parking lot. Inside, the place was packed. A manager opened the door for me, greeted with a smile. Warmth and class.

The much bigger McDonalds adjacent to the other side, had 2-3 in drive-thru. When I circled the block to take pics the CFA was still packin em in. McD’s had one car in drive-thru.

So lemme get this straight: a Eurotrash blogger quoted by CNNObama displays his ignorance and condescension of America in one breath?

We did, but we blamed her for Senator McCain’s loss, belittled her family and her experience/IQ/religion/values and voice, so she took the hint and stood down. Remember?

The whole scenario seems so preposterous as to be contrived, which makes me wonder if it was a brilliant sales gimmick.

Oh, it's preposterous AND contrived, alright. By the propoganda media and the queer lobby. But naturally this smug Europunk socialist blames the whole scenAAAARio on Mr. Cathy and those silly Jesus-freak colonials. So much more in keeping with their filthy lying agenda, don't you know, old boy?

Where except among the mentally ill is this controversial?

Well look: if there are about 1600 Chick-fil-A franchises in the US, all they would have to average is 650 customers for the entire sales day to hit a collective one-million customer visits for the day.

The Chick-fil-A I visited on Wednesday had hundreds of customers just within the 40 minutes I was there.

It is safe to say several million people voted at Chick-fil-A on Wednesday.

The fact that he actually said this in response to a journalist interviewing him for a regional Baptist newspaper , which is probably only read by Baptists who agree with him anyway, is never mentioned.

They make it sound like he put up a billboard along the freeway.

Another question, of course, is exactly who found that (very innocuous) statement in a small church paper and called in the MSM.

Possibly.

But if we don’t roll back the huge gains Obama has given the homoextremists, it will be for nothing.

I mean, we have to have a plan here. First, an administration that will defend DOMA in court - remember DOMA = Federal Government neutral on the issue, leaving states to decide.

Second, rolling back the “I’m a Queer in Uniform” policy. The policy needs to be “WE DON’T CARE TO KNOW WHAT ANY OF YOU ARE, SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT YOUR SEXUAL PREFERENCE.”

Third, need to frame the argument to the reasons people ought to be opposed to it - unnatural, physically unhealthy and high-risk, mentally unhealthy, demoralizing, biblically sinful behavior.

Fourth, if necessary, if the states continue with legal entaglements, a federal constitutional amendment in support of traditional marriage (one man, one woman).

Fifth, a committment to have the administration’s top legal teams ready to defend the constitutional amendment at the lower courts, and Supreme Court.

"Across the United States, conservatives gathered in chicken restaurants to show support for the company after its president, Dan Cathy, came out against gay marriage stated that he was a Christian who believed in traditional marriage".

Fixed it.

I tell you, that would work out much better for him than hurt him. There needs to be someone in the RNC who can see these rare golden opportunities and take advantage of them.

Not only should he go there and buy some, he should grab an apron and get behind the counter for awhile and do a few orders.
