Apple CEO and Chick-fil-A CEO sound exactly the same, so why is nobody freaking out?

Good Question..

Why isn't the left freaking out about this guy using his company's money to support his views as they did the Owner of Chick-fil-A??


Remember that time conservatives called for a boycott on Apple because of the CEO’s personal beliefs in gay marriage? Me neither.

From the Weekly Standard:
Today, in an article for Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Apple CEO Tim Cook makes an announcement: “I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”
Cook continues, writing:

“The company I am so fortunate to lead has … taken a strong stand in support of a workplace equality bill before Congress, just as we stood for marriage equality in our home state of California.”
While he “doesn’t consider himself an activist,” Cook has personally lobbied on gay rights issues in his home state of Alabama and at the United Nations.

All of this sounds familiar—haven’t we heard this story before?
A southern-born CEO invoking religion regarding his views on homosexuality, lobbying for what he believes in, and using his company to financially and publicly support those views?


We have heard this story before. The CEO of Chick-fil-A, S. Truett Cathy, does the EXACT same thing. What happens? Liberals try and boycott his business and demonize him publicly.
How do conservatives react to Apple CEO? We don’t. We go about with the rest of our lives and aren’t bothered by individual people who have individual rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. You know, like normal people.

The Mozilla CEO is another person who was demonized for his beliefs on gay marriage and ended up losing his job. The left claims to be all about tolerance but we know they are only tolerant of people who think they exact same way they do.
 
Because freedom of speech is NOT TOLERATED when it's not an approved subversive agenda!

The stances against the Chicken restaurant, the Hobby store and others are Freedom of Speech.

The counter measurement is law or "force".

There is a very real reason Apple and other corporations have "the same argument".....

The argument is "Profit over humanity"
 
The big difference is that apple is publicly traded and Chick Fil A is not. The apple CEO better be spending only his own money.
 
Why on Earth would you presume that liberals have integrity? Whatever gave you that notion?

The reason that liberals have so much influence despite being such a small minority compared to normal people is that they do what is expedient for their causes and show no mercy or integrity towards their enemies.

Maybe they have a Liberal amount of integrity.

You, like most party people, don't know the difference between Liberals and Conservatives.

Wouldn't a Liberal amount of integrity be better than a Conservative amount of Integrity?

Your post shows why so many Democrats own the title "Liberal"

Kind of like when the conservatives whine about Soros but stay silent on Coch....

remind me how much business Chick lost over that again? How many stores closed?

About the only thing we should be hoping for is that they display their ignorance and hate for freedom more often...

Funny, they're sure ashamed or scared of using liberal. How many political ads say vote for liberal so-and-so? Compare to ads that proudly say conservative.

Yeah, you guys own the liberal title.

Actually it looks like he is donating money from Apple's coffers. Steve Jobs was rather disliked in the arena of donations. He didn't believe in them. Cook has instituted a matching fund.. for every dollar an employee donated to a C-3, Apple matches. In the first two months, he donated $1.3 million of Apple's money.
 
Lies and deception...

The Liberal Left "The Symbol of Hypocrisy"...

In reality they do not want to deal with accountability...
