"Since when does serving up junk food give someone a license to preach?" carped Petula Dvorak as she opened her August 14 piece, "Now featuring filet o' fracas."* Gee, I dunno, Petula, maybe 1791, when the First Amendment -- you know, that pesky little document that guarantees freedom of speech and religion among other things -- was ratified.

"We've got the Papa John's pizza guys weighing in on the health-care debate, while the burger slingers out West at In-N-Out can't serve up a cheeseburger without a Bible verse," Dvorak carped. Later in her Metro section column, she essentially compared the pizza chain to drug-running terrorists.

“If you are stuck in a true liberal hell hole than I suggest you see if you can somehow get out.”

Thanks for your concern, prof.h.mandingo. I’m doing fine. The state I’m working in now is good. In the past six months, the good folks here have:

* locked up nearly 15 of Holder’s “peeples” and they’re facing up to 20 years in state prison.

* liberalized the Castle doctrine via a state supreme court ruling so we can legally defend ourselves against violent unarmed obuma thugs who exhibit threatening actions.

* started public meetings to help women get armed and trained.

It’s good to see that your state is doing well.

Cheers

The lefties are loosing it.

When hundreds of thousands of traditional Americans showed up at Chick-fil-A for the protest and ONLY a FEW DOZEN liberals for the counter protest - lefties started getting a clue.

We don't like liberal 'values' , there are lots of us, and we put our money where our mouth is...

I can see why they're losing it...

I'm sure Petula Dvorak said a similar thing to JC Penny when Penny's backed gay marriage..../s Kidding. We all know better... she's a biased left wing shill... anything she writes is predictable...just like this piece.

Which is why newspaper are so boring. A little 'diversity' of thought would go a long way..

We eat pizza and drink Fireman's #4 Pale Al made by a local micro brewery.

So, I assume by 'Pale Al', you would mean, say, Yankovic as opposed to Sharpton?

And, no, you can't make a typo on FR without someone giving you a hard time about it.
