People are free to organize a boycott of Jewish-owned stores too, like they did in Nazi Germany and Poland.
I just dont' think it is a sign of a very healthy society when that happens.
he's not being boycotted because he's a christian. he's being boycotted because he's a homophobe.
if he said he didn't want jewish business, i'd expect people of conscience to boycott him for that, too.
Your fellow Socialists/Progressives would very much like to ban Chick-Fil-A. Many have been crowing about that in recent days. Maybe you should pay attention to the News a bit more? Many of your fellow peeps are calling for banning Chick-Fil-A. It is what it is.
Yeah? That's okay cause your fellow Fascist/Religionist want to ban Homosexuals from enjoying the legal benefits of so called gay marriage.
Frankly if you don't like what the CEO said, don't eat there. However in this country no City or State should try to ban them based on what he said.
Now you're getting there. At least you made sense in one of those sentences. Can you guess which one?
Give him a week. He should figure it out by then.
A couple of mayors make stupid statements....no city has banned Chick-fil-A. People are free to make whatever statements they like...and we are free to support those statements or not, with our business.
That is the core of this silliness....but it IS funny, in a way, watching people on both sides run around like (dare I say it) chickens with their heads cut off.

Many is a subjective number....how many? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? Enough to make any sizable difference besides venting? Tell us.
Well look it up. You will see not many of those cowards did show up but some did. Since they didn't get that many then they had to spray paint one of the resturants to get their point across. I suppose you probably feel thats ok since no one was injured exept the owner of the business.
Why do you say such things? Nothing more American than a commercial boycott. I don't want the government to ban Chicki Poo. I wouldn't mind if it fell due to the boycotting wrath of the public.
Well i'm glad to hear that. But unfortunately, many of your brethren are calling for banning Chick-Fil-A. I know it's insane, but it is the truth.
A ball-park figure plz.
Go to U Tube a type in Chick-fil-a protests. Im sure you will enjoy the videos.

In my early 20s, I was pro-choice and opposed to gay marriage. Now that Im in my 30s, Im pro-life and more supportive of gay marriage. Sometimes our views change. It happens all the time. The important thing is that we are free to have views and voice them.
When Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy publicly denounced gay marriage last month, the mayors of two major American cities let everyone know that the fast food restaurant was not welcome in their towns. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino threatened to block the construction of a new Chick-fil-A. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel made similar statements, echoing the sentiments of a local official.
Even many of those outraged by Cathys comments would agree that he was simply exercising his free speech rights. But some thought these mayors were also exercising their free speech rights. They were not. What they were attempting to do is the antithesis of free speech.
Individuals who are offended by Cathys comments are free to avoid Chick-fil-A. They are free to speak out against Chick-fil-A. This is how Americas system of government is supposed to work. This is how the First Amendment works. This is how free markets are supposed to work.
But for the government to prevent someone from operating a business based on his personal or political opinions is a direct violation of free speech. Its certainly anti-free market. Im aghast at how many people cant make this important distinction.
Imagine that a Muslim man owns a convenience store. Now imagine that he, too, like Dan Cathy, has some rather unfavorable views of homosexuals. Does anyone think this Muslim mans local government should prevent him from selling Doritos and cigarettes because of his views?
Imagine that a homosexual man opens a store in a small Southern town. Now imagine that the local government attempts to shut down his business simply because he is homosexual. This would be tragically wrong and un-American. Imagine this same storeowner publicly expressed pride in his sexuality. Does anyone even the most conservative Christian believe the government should be able to take away his right to do business just because he expressed his opinion?
There are few, if any, conservative Christians who would think this proper. However, after Dan Cathy made his comments, I discovered countless liberals who had no problem doing the same thing to Dan Cathy. Liberals who are trying to make Cathy out to be some sort of fascist need to take a good, hard look in the mirror...

I can't find anyone who wishes to ban Chicki Poo (or whatever) If one wishes to go public with his beliefs then he must bear the results of his statements. He has the right to be anti gay, so long as he does not discriminate in his pubic business.
I have the right to disapprove. My disapproval extends to not buying any Chickie Poo. I can also organize like minded people.
That's life. Get over it.

Well i'm glad to hear that. But unfortunately, many of your brethren are calling for banning Chick-Fil-A. I know it's insane, but it is the truth.
Are you going to keep telling that lie?
What "brethren" are calling for a ban of chic-Fil-a?
You are full of shit.
No dude its you that is full of shit. It seems you still haven't figured out how to use U Tube. Once you have you will see. For once when you disagree with something go see for yourself. Use it instead of flapping you lips so much.

Aren't you just a fine little dummy.
Maybe one of your nutter pals will take pity on you and explain where you are going wrong here.
Whats the matter dude are you to brainwashed to tell me where im going wrong or is it you haven't figured it out yourself.
What government has banned Chick-fil-A?But for the government to prevent someone from operating a business based on his personal or political opinions is a direct violation of free speech. Its certainly anti-free market. Im aghast at how many people cant make this important distinction.

A couple of mayors make stupid statements
Gosh...I just can't imagine you being this calm if a Republican major stated that he was going to try to make it difficult for a pro-Obama business, or a business that had donated money to Planned Parenthood to move into their city.
When our political leaders are comfortable stating publicly that people who don't think the "right way" don't deserve to make a living in their cities...we have a problem. It worries me that some people are ignoring that because the voices being threatened are coming from those they disagree with.
Message Boards are funny. Most of the Wingnuts here boasting about this Boycott, have been here on many occasions blabbing about how dumb & pointless Boycotts are. Now they're suddenly the biggest Boycott fans in America. Silly Wingnuts. Gotta love em...Or do ya?
Aren't you just a fine little dummy.
Maybe one of your nutter pals will take pity on you and explain where you are going wrong here.
Sorry. Looks like the other nutters here have left you to wallow in your stupidity.
Boycott has a different meaning than ban. You are arguing that they mean the same thing. This is the way an imbecile argues. You are clearly an imbecile.
Well nitwit why don't you watch what the three coward mayors made a speech of. No they didn't ban it because they finally back down. I bet its still in their empty heads though.

Can't disagree with your post. They were pandering, pure and simple. And it was stupid.A couple of mayors make stupid statements....no city has banned Chick-fil-A. People are free to make whatever statements they like...and we are free to support those statements or not, with our business.
That is the core of this silliness....but it IS funny, in a way, watching people on both sides run around like (dare I say it) chickens with their heads cut off.
Yep thats right. Those mayors do have the right to express their feelings. The only thing is with the position they have you would think they would have more sence than to make those kind of statements to the public. They knew what they were saying and that was their plans. Their plans being to interupt the free rights of the people. They should really keep those kind of statements in their underwear and just let it out at home and not in front of a TV camera. Since the Chick-fil-a was not doing anything illegal then its not his business to determine to ban them from the city. You would think he would know better. Of course now the people really know what type of person they elected. And many of them still don't get the point. Its a shame.
Your fellow Socialists/Progressives would very much like to ban Chick-Fil-A. Many have been crowing about that in recent days. Maybe you should pay attention to the News a bit more? Many of your fellow peeps are calling for banning Chick-Fil-A. It is what it is.
Many is a subjective number....how many? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? Enough to make any sizable difference besides venting? Tell us.
The fact many of them did, says enough. Your Party is headed in the wrong direction.

The article didn't claim otherwise.
The issue is: The mayor of Boston and Chicago made threats that Chick-Fil-A would not be built in their cities.
That is wrong,
Boycott all you want, it is not the governments to decide who or what gets built.
The Mayors of San Francisco, Chicago and Boston have said that they would prevent a CFA franchise from opening in their cities. Is this the same thing as a ban? Go figure it out.
People should be allowed to make up their minds whether they want to patronize any business. This brings an inherent difficulty. When you permit people to decide for themselves, they might disagree with you. The only way to stop a record breaking sales day like CFA had on August 1st is to stop the business from opening. Take the ability to make a politically incorrect statement away from the people. Take the decision out of their hands.
Or, end up with crowds supporting a store and one person opposing the store.
