Ban Chick-Fil-A?...

[The Rabbi]

I just dont' think it is a sign of a very healthy society when that happens.

ah how sad of you that you need people to shut up and be in lock step.

Post fail.

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.

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?

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.

Well said. Thanks.

In my early 20s, I was pro-choice and opposed to gay marriage. Now that I’m in my 30s, I’m 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 Cathy’s 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 Cathy’s comments are free to avoid Chick-fil-A. They are free to speak out against Chick-fil-A. This is how America’s 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. It’s certainly anti-free market. I’m aghast at how many people can’t 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 man’s 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 think Dan Cathy is a homophobic moron, but I have to agree with what this person is saying. He is right, and I hope people read it and understand that banning Chick Fil A won't solve anything.

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.

Your fellow Socialists/Progressives would very much like to ban Chick-Fil-A.

That is a lie as most people who would be considered progressive have made no claim or attempt to ban chik fil a and many have come out to say that would be wrong if it happened. Please tell us all the names of progressive people, and then show us the ones who have made a statement regarding the banning of chik fil a. You will find it is less than 1 percent and certainly not the number of people within the party that the republicans have trying to ban gays. If anyone is trying to ban anything it is the republicans and religious conservatives who you are a part of. That is a matter of record in a number of places, and even was shown to be popular in a place that was nown for being liberal and progressive, California.

How many votes have there been to ban chi fil a? How many votes and laws have there been to ban gay marriage? There is even a state now with 2 bans on gay marriage.

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.

yes, this has probably been said many times on fox news. As most intelligent people now things that are said on fox news are, as gretchen from fox and friends points out, made up.

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.

Chick-fil-a never expressed anything remotely anti-homosexual...........They expressed a belief in traditional marriage. Gays neednt be considered

First of all, let's get away from the word "they". It was Dan Cathy's statement, and while he represents CFA, he doesn't represent every single person who works there. As to what he said, it went well beyond supporting traditional marriage; his statement resembled something you would hear from members of Westboro Baptist. As someone who supports gay rights, I would not be offended by someone saying they support the traditional family. Cathy went well beyond that basically stating that fags are going to be the downfall of this country.

Everything Cathy said about family and church and God and their respective roles, I have no problem with. Where I have a problem is when he said this:

“I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say ‘we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage’ and I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about”

What Exactly Did Dan Cathy Say to Land Chic fil a in Hot Water? « Kingdom Living

Like I said, this almost sounds like something you would here from a member of Westboro Baptist.

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.

I think what makes sane people though Bod is witnessing two mayors go "we'll ban the shit out of you". Now what if they were in a different mind set.

"we'll ban the black shit out of your asses"

worse yet

"we'll ban your gay asses"

Because your CEO believes ins something we don't.

This is the part that's scary. We're sane, well we like to think so but honestly if the power was to mayors we would really be in deep shit.

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.

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.

Well dude you want their names? Take a ride to those cities and ask. Im sure they would be proud to let you know since they were proud of what they did.
