I love how the left on this board wants to take peoples (owner of Chick A FilA ) FREEDOM Of speech away just because you dont like their politics. That is a scary road your on because once you take that persons freedoms away YOURS is NEXT
No one is threatening to take away his freedom of speech.
He has every right to be a hateful, bigoted douchebag who uses a 3000 year old book of superstition and ignorance to rationalize his hate.
And the rest of us have the right to keep his business out of our communities and not patronize it.
You're right about the "not patronize it" part, Joe, but as is typical of you, dead wrong about the part I bolded. Your side certainly MAY NOT use the power of government to exact reprisal against any person or corporation for exercising First Amendment rights in a manner your side disapproves of! The constitution and court precedent are quite firm on this point, and any city that tries it will subject themselves to potential legal action which would likely result not only in a judgement in favor of Mr. Cathy and Chick-fil-A, but in the city and/or the public official(s) in question being ordered to pay the plaintiff's legal fees and court costs. One day, you liberals or going to learn that just because you THREATEN to do something, that doesn't mean you lawfully CAN do it. Your side overplayed its hand, and the American people quite properly kicked its collective arse for doing so. I personally think the Left is just about done intimidating the rest of us; you've gotten away with it so long, you actually think you are entitled to do it. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! Keep trying it, and you'll deserve every bit of the blowback you get. We've had it with petty, Politically Correct tyranny! Don't like that? Cry me a river!
