Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches Become Political Symbol

I wonder if I should boycott Amazon now that Bezos has come out in defense of gay marriage?

 

Don't you mean his refusal to go along with the intolerance of militant gays who seek to redefine marriage FOR NO DEFINABLE, LOGICAL reason, and their INTOLERANCE of anyone who disagrees with them?

 

How is it GAY INTOLERANCE if the gays simply are asking to be allowed to do what Christians do? What are gays doing TO Christians?

 

The same marriage rules apply to Christians as gays. Gays seek to REDEFINE the entire institution, based on their chosen behavior.

CHristians are ENTITLED ot disagree with that,and Truett Cathy has NEVER refused service to someone for being gay.

 

I went to a Chick-fil-a today for lunch and had the homemade chicken noodle soup. It was truly excellent! I will go back for more, and often. Already posted pretty large about this in a different thread. The Lib's are all going hysterical about this, and to that I can only suggest that they go eat somewhere else. Or, to paraphrase Marie Antoinette, "Let them eat * * * *!"
There's two things worth eating in Chicago: Italian food, and hot dogs at Wrigley Field. Oh, and the big hamburger joint out on the Navy Pier is really good, too. Maybe it's just the Chicago politicians... what a bunch of sanctimonious, self-righteous ********s....

 

Really?

So a woman marrying a woman somewhere in the country changes YOUR marriage with your wife? What, you keep thinking of her if she had married a woman? Or you can't stop thinking about marrying a guy?

What is the weakness in Christians that they need to legislate morality and put the force of law and jail and guns behind their beliefs?

 

about the only truly memorable food I remember from Chicago is their pizzas, it's toss up between NY and Chicago in my opinion but I wold not want to live in either place

oh and I wish my brother in law could have a civil union with his partner of 20 years, they are both really great guys...and Republicans LOL.

 

Liberals are psychologically incompetent, as well as desperate to make a mountain out of any ant hill they can find.

So what he believes in traditional marriage, it's his right and he doesn't inject that part of his religion into his business. His point of view has nothing to do with his food.

I'm for gay marriage, but I'm gonna eat chick fil-a still.

But I love seeing how liberals are when u don't think like them, wanting people to lose their business and thousands to lose their job simply because you don't agree with liberals.

 

No...marriage laws didn't exclude same sex couples, and that's why gay hating righties have created new laws, excluding gays, which means they are redefining marriage

 

What's the saying? Liberals are all for differing opinions until they run into someone with a different opinion.

 

You are a jewel.

All for gay marriage...not a liberal.....thinking for yourself.....

Perfect...except for the gross oversimplification that liberals are bad, and whatever you are is good.

 

I don't think liberals are bad per say, just desperate fools basically.

I don't like a lot of people's point of view, but I don't want them to go broke and their employees to lose jobs because of that. It's liberal thinking like that that I can't stand.

 

If the guy at Chick-Fil-A feels that way, he has every right to...

And everyone who disagrees with him has the right to do that as well...

I personally disagree with his POV, but, seeing as how he has that whole 1st Amendment right to say that, and also, seeing as how I absolutely love Chick-Fil-A, I'll still be going there on occasion, no more or less than usual...

Strange how voicing one's opinion is somehow terrible now...

 

I guess you have a point. And as much as I'd like to stuff bible thumping homophobes into garbage cans, and put them on a barge to Pakistan......Chick fill a hole's CEO has a right to express his opinion, but if any employees lose their jobs, it'll be his fault, as well as the idiots who unfairly denied permits for new restaurants based on this.

And there ya go......enough idiots to go around.

I haven't seen a Chick fill a hole around here...but now I wanna try it.

 

Dave. There are ways that homosexuals can form their unions...they're just not gonna be looked on as traditional marriage. Now why would they not just go around it, form their own church and perform their marriages? Get an attorney and tie their possessions up with EACH other and then try to get out of that bondage in about...what? ten years or whatever it is the average length of a homosexual union is.

 

So prior to these so called changes by righties, you most certainly can give examples that back your claim? Seems more likely there has been the same understanding we've had from the beginning of time, that marriage is indeed between a man and a woman, or is 99.9% of the world just lacking perspective? Regardless of continent, regardless of religion, regardless of history, you can find marriage between a man and a woman, where in history has same sex marriage been allowed? Actually, out of respect for you, think on the answer if you have the example, I'd not set you up for a trap. Some us believe in tradition, believe it has a real purpose in our lives and our world. Our Founders' created the American tradition, in so doing gave us the tools to change our own traditions if they are wrong, like slavery. If this country wants to change the traditional form of marriage, there is a way, and even if many of us disagree, we would respect proper use of the Constitution, regardless of the outcome...

How does boycotting an entire business because one of their executives doesn't support a view actually lends credence to the argument the boycotters support? It appears to be a show of force, not an argument, not a good method to change minds.

 

You're absolutely correct...but a legally binding marriage contract does not take "understandings" into account. When most marriage laws were written, nobody thought they'd have to deal with the concept of gays marrying.

Gay marriage isn't mentioned in the consitution, but enjoy the abscence of it while you can. The world is changing, and in the winds of change are blowing in the favor of gay marriage.

The only ones who are getting pissed off already hate gays, so who cares.

Two things could have happened to keep negative implications from happening.

Chick fil A's CEO could have made his statements outside of his role as CEO.

Idiot liberal politicans wouldn't try to make hay out of it.

Gotta go for the weekend....have a good one Despondent

 

And yet...you seem like a perfect candidate for a being a civil libertarian.

 

well. you know that Louie Farrakhan is opposed to homosexuals marrying. As well as muslims. so the lefts two biggest allies are anti-homo. What are you gonna do about that?

 

The problem with your "bible thumping sissies" is very much like the use of homo or queer. You don't like the behavior of a few so you generalize about the whole or you use words that offend the whole. This makes me look at you like either a anti-Christian bandwagoneer or just a plain old bigot.

Either way the use of these words even in some sort of weird righteous defense of other people makes me think less of anything you have to say because I've written you off as a bigot in much the same way you've written other people off.

You can defend people without attacking others. Yes, yes, I know that this is modern America where it seems like an impossible task, and yet...it is possible.

 

Bingo.

Maybe you should make a habit every time you go out to eat from now of of asking every fast food employee who serves you if they approve of gay marriage or not, so that you can make sure that you aren't accepting service from anyone who doesn't like gays.

On a side note, Chick-Fil-A's president has had his anti-gay marriage stance known for many years, so why is only making headlines now.

 

This is completely stupid. I can't believe you wanted to even type that and put it out there for the world to see. There are issues of civil liberties at stake when political leaders use coercion such as denial of permit to force the type of speech they want. You don't have to "hate gays" to think that freedom of speech is being shat upon by government.

He did. He was asked his opinion in a talk show. He didn't make a statement as CEO.

 

Apparently, many Leftists only want to "Let Freedom Ring" for those who march in lockstep with them.

 

This is the biggest conservative freakout since Romney went to London and destroyed his whole bogus Olympics narrative.

 

But some lefties like Real American Thinker have supported ChikFilA, so we'll play nice with them!
