Chick Fil-A fast food locations under attack by Dems and the Left

bobwg · Jul 30, 2012

The Dems and Left claim they are in favor of free speech but it appears only if you agree with them. They are attacking the ChicK Fil-A chain for comments made by their big boss expressing his personal view/opinion in support of traditional marriage. The mayors of Chicago, Boston, San Francisco say they will block any attempts by Chick Fil-A to open any new locations(and jobs) in those cities also Hollywood and the left are calling for a boycott of the chain. If anyone is interested you can show your support for the chain on Wed. Also the ACLU is taking the side of the fast food chain and says it will file lawsuits against any city govt that tries to block the chain.

The blind squirrel found a nut again. I've always said that once in a blue moon the ACLU takes the correct side and it appears there was another blue moon. I plan to eat all 3 meals Wed. at Chick Fil-A if at all possible.

I understand the Wednesday thing but to really show support decide to get cf once every week or two. They already look busier the last few days. Chicago mayor already backed off his stance and i think Baltimore did too.

The ACLU always takes the side of the Constitution. If that side is the "correct" side only once in a blue moon according to conservatives, then that would indicate conservatives are more often in favor of suspending or trampling the Constitution than liberals are, which is saying a lot.

The problem with this is typified by what the Baltimore mayor said, which was, in effect, we are going to discriminate against you because we don't agree with what you believe. Someone pointed out the hypocrisy of that, and of how those who scream tolerance the loudest generally show it the least.

I do like what the chain's owner said in response to the threat of a gay boycott: "Good."

Best quote from a customer: "It's his opinion and he's entitled to it. I'm just here to eat."

As too your first paragraph the aclu is always on the side of their interpretation of the constitution. We know not all even on the high court interpet it the same and that is ok. To say the conservative side more often trample on it is simply another interpretation

True enough, it is the ACLU's interpretation of the Constitution, but they have a strong track record of interpreting it so that civil liberties aren't trampled on by those who want to dictate to others how to live, think and talk.

It's more of an observation than an interpretation. Conservatives, by and large, have a deep seeded need to tell other people what to do and how to live, particularly when it comes to social issues. They have a great disdain of people who have fun wrong. The phrase, "If it feels good, do it!" is repugnant to conservatives. Laws regulating conservative morality with regard to social issues are the ones most often overturned by higher courts, usually on Constitutional grounds. That's not an interpretation, it's merely an observation.

And it's backwards. It's the left that tells.people what kind of car to drive, how much salt to use, what kind of beverages are healthy, what words and phrases we can or can't use, etc.
The right may have a few such issues, but take a little more of a libertarian stand in most cases. Forex, on sodomites, most conservatives, while we don't approve of :censoredsign:

gotry, would settle for them conducting their perversion in private. You don't kick down my bedroom door, and I won't kick down yours. Just keep your private lives private and don't expose anyone else to it. Oh, and you should probably repent before you go to hell, but at least.keep it private.

Most of the conservatives I know would kick down your door in a second if they could get away with it.

The aclu simply accepts more cases with a liberal bent. I whole heartedly believe that in many aclu offices they would not even consider a case that leaned right regardless of the constitution.

I think both parties are at fault when it times to telling people how to live. The left just embraces the concept more. Just an observance of course.

I think the reason a lot of conservatives are how Turtle says, is because libs do have that "if it feels good, do it" attitude. They also have an f-it attitude when it comes time to pay the piper for "doing it". That's the main difference between liberals and libertarians... consequences.

Too funny, your saying "just keep your private life private and don't expose anyone else to it", considering that you can't discuss the subject of homosexuality without getting very graphic in the description of what you so despise - almost as if you enjoy thinking about it....
And BTW: Whether one believes in hell [and chooses to risk it] or doesn't believe, it's not your place to tell them what they should do about it.
