The Chick-fil-A controversy isn’t by itself going to be the issue that becomes the
turning point in the upcoming election, but it will be a battle won.

Long and short. Head of company says he does not support gay marriage and the
left wants to shut his business down for his heresy. Within days people are waiting
in line for an hour or more to buy a sandwich. Sometimes there is justice.

Evidently it's heartening for you to see bigots rallying to support one another.

I see that even the ACLU agrees that stopping the company from opening locations because of the owner's bigotry isn't legal.

Plenty of people supported those who fought legalization of interracial marriage or the rights of women and minorities to vote too.  Was that "justice"?  Fifty years from now when you are long-dead, this issue will seem equally ridiculous and the supporters of this company today will appear to everyone to be what they really are: ignorant bigots. Sometimes it just takes time.  Enjoy your temporary "victory.  Fortunately, the clock is ticking towards the extinction of your type.

I don't support the company, nor the man behind the comments. I do however support his right to be that stupid and bigoted. He has the freedom to be as ignorant as he wants. I have the freedom to rally to shut down his business. Politicians should stay out of it.

Obviously, you didn't pay close attention to what the man said. He said nothing AGAINST anyone or anything. He said he was For marriage as he sees it. Shall we put you down as against free speech, as defined in the Constitution, or are you just a knee-jerk?

I have read exactly what he said (and it wasn't what you wrote).  

You obviously didn't read what I wrote either.  I never tried to take anyone's rights away. Bigots have free-speech rights too.  I never said otherwise.  

Instead of hurrying to make inane comments in every thread, maybe you should slow down and read first.

[sammy]

I SLOWED down and read what he said. What he said was what he was FOR, not what he was against. Maybe you could give me examples of my inane comments in EVERY thread? PLEASE do.

So this guy closes EVERY CHICK-FIL-A outlet on Sunday for religious purposes and somehow his statment is making news?!?!

Who couldn't connect those dots??

Idiots.

Chick-fil-A guy has the same position on gay marriage that the President did before he "evolved" this last May. Does that make the President a reformed
bigot?

No, he is not reformed.

Sorry, Not even close.  Although he only recently came out in favor of gay marriage, Obama has consistently opposed attempts to limit the rights of same-sex couples.  He has never made idiotic statements like Don Cathy has about  "inviting God's judgement on our nation." Chick-fil-a has also donated millions to anti-gay organizations and continues to do so. Obama hasn't.

Forgive me for not researching your uncited claims, but i'm willing to bet that most of that donated money was to christian groups, and surprise, most christian groups do not support homosexual marriage, or in your more dramatic words, ANTI GAY.

[Flanders]

Obama hasn't.

REEALLLLYY??

So every time the collection basket is passed in the CHRISTIAN church he attended for the last 20 years, he never put in a dime?

Might want to reign in the ignorance in your next few childish outbursts.

[T-M-T]

I'm not talking about donations to general Christian organizations and churches.  Chick-Fil-A gave over a million dollars alone to a "charity" called the "Marriage and Family Foundation" as well as other groups that devote huge resources to opposing legalization of gay marriage.  And, yes, I will assert that Obama has not donated millions specifically to fight legalization of gay marriage.  Feel free to try and prove me wrong.

[Flanders]

So millions goes down to over a million, and now well, maybe Obama didn't donate to an organization that specifially fights legalization... pathetic.

To ******* bad.  If everyone has to watch a gay character on every other sitcom, see rainbows on licence plates and storefront windows, see cross dressers in gay parades, and be told we have to be OK with it, then **** you for making an issue out of someone who has every right to take the opposite stance.
