    this whole chick fil a shit is madness and the fact that the faux news assholes are saying it's a freedom of speech issue is madness.. You haven't got freedom of speech to blurt out hatred all over the place and then say 'sorry I have freedom of speech to speak my hate to anyone".

    I wouldn't want bigoted companies in my city also but maybe they can't stop that. why don't these so called bible loving people line up at soup kitchen's in their thousands?

    Oh! Yes We Do.....and the man never said he hated anyone....he is a follower of God......who do you follow?....and I bet whatever or whoever it maybe does not have the love that our God has for ALL people....even you!

    while he has the right to "say" anything or "think" anything he wants, people also have the right to say anything back. "Free Speech" is a two way street. The Palins and Bachmanns of the world forget that "freedom of speech" doesn't mean that you can say anything without having a public backlash when you say it.

    Ask Carrie Prejean how saying something unpopular worked out for her.

    This isn't about "free speech."

    Dan Cathy has donated over 5 MILLION dollars to three separate groups, two of which are recognized as Hate Groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center. They include groups that encourage forcing "reparative therapy" on teenagers, deporting "known homosexuals," doing away with any and all legal protections of the GLBT community and making gay sex illegal. None of that "supports traditional marriage." So we can drop that silly meme right now.

    When he donates money to attack my family, that's no longer "an opinion" or "disagreeing" on some concept or theory. It's my family and our rights and protections under the law.

    Did he say he "hated" anyone? No. he doesn't have the guts to admit that. But his actions make it pretty clear.

    The good news is that this week we learned the extreme conservative right has been reduced to a mob of slovenly high school bullies who have only one national chain left to rally around. They show up and pay each other on the back as they make the bold political move of... buying lunch. :fp:

    god told me to love my neighbor as myself. he told everybody that. the problem is that those that talk about god the loudest act the least christ-like....why is that?

    Sounds like a very broad generalization. Seems inept.

    That's pretty much it.

    while they all claim this was about "free speech" and the "chilling" government telling them what they can "think," we all know that when local governments blocked private movie theaters from showing Brokeback Mountain or when the lesbian nature retreat in Virginia was denied a permit to open, none of those people were lining up to support "free speech."

    exactly. they fail to realize that boycotting is free speech too. jesus would boycott them too.

    the people promoting chick fil a by taking pics of themselves there and posting them on social media remind me of teenagers who are just doing things to get a rise out of people. gotta love that hatred thinly veiled and hidden with a smile...

    And it's fun to point out that CFA uses Coke as their drink supplier... they're Pro-equality. Condiments by Heinz (owned by John Kerry's wife), they used Apple or Microsoft phones to take the pictures... used wireless supplied by ATT, Sprint or TimeWarner... so the gays really made a killing that day.

    And again... the bold political move of buying lunch.

    This is the funny part to me.

    Also, let's not forget that he not only donates money as an individual he also has CFA donate money as a corporation. The point is you're money is going to support hate groups. If you're fine with that the go right ahead but be honest about why you're there.

    1. Parents have the right to raise their children as they see fit.
    2. Any group that does not condone the gay life style is automatically added on their list has a hate group. For that reason The Southern Poverty Law Center really does not carry much weight. In fact many see THEM as a hate group.
    3. Deporting Homosexuals or illegal immigrants?
    4. Sodomy used to be illegal but in many states it has been become legal. So I do not see how he has change anything for the worst to affect your life.
    “When he donates money to attack my family, that's no longer "an opinion" or "disagreeing" on some concept or theory. It's my family and our rights and protections under the law.”
    How has he attacked your family?…
    Do you have any references to this……
    do you have teenagers….someone in your family been deported?

    Do people that do not condone this gay life style have the same rights? Not everyone has the same morals and in America we are all free under the law to practice as we see fit and raise our children as we want. Why do the GLBT groups keep shoving there beliefs in my face, and my family’s face?

    Mr Cathy is a follower of God’s word, those that are true followers love all God’s children, they do not condone anything and everything that the world has to offer but does anyone else?
    Using the Westborough Church as an example of how Christians act is like saying all Muslim’s are terrorist right?

    What a lot of folks seem to be missing is that Chick-fil-A has an anti-discrimination policy and the organization does not have a record of mistreating employees over sexual orientation. Additionally, Chick-fil-A does not check someone's sexual orientation at the door before deciding whether or not to allow someone to purchase their products.

    Some people might also say that Ben & Jerry's should be boycotted because the founders and the company support very far-left organizations. If you don't agree with Ben & Jerry's then just don't buy their ice cream.

    Even Rahm Emanuel has walked back his statements about keeping Chick-fil-A from opening additional locations in Chicago. He knows that he was wrong.

    This has all been blown out of proportion and until someone shows that CFA discriminates against homosexuals, this is a non-issue.
