Great Article on Free Speech and Chick-fil-A

Are you getting tired of thinking about Chick-fil-A? I confess I haven't quite OD'd on chicken yet. It was so encouraging to see so many people across the country, even in uber-liberal states, lining up to show their support for free speech and traditional marriage. Now if all those make sure they register to vote and show up at the polls on election day...well...Let's just say it won't be good news for liberal politics. But here's the article:

Of Free Speech and Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A had a Booming Day Yesterday!

I went to the restaurant in Harrisonburg with two of my grandchildren to meet my brother and my sister-in-law. We were late for lunch (to try to avoid the crush - LOL!). It was close to 2 p.m. and mobbed both inside and out. We waited about fifteen minutes for our milkshakes and thirty for our food which was hot and good. High five for Chick-fil-A. The employees were all cheerful and the crowd was patient and enthusiastic.

And now for other parts of the country:

Check out Janet's video at the Chick-fil-A in Germantown, MD which is in Montgomery County - a liberal county in an uber-liberal state. Here's what the Detroit Free Press reported. And here's ABC's report which shows incredible support all over the country. Here's CNN's story.

And how are the "gays" responding? With a kiss-in scheduled for Friday. That's appropriate. The public can get a glimpse of the gay lifestyle. If it's anything like gay parades they'll get a view of more than kissing. I suspect the exposure (pun intended) will do more to wake people up than help the homosexual worldview gain approval.

The virulent attack on Dan Cathy has been a blessing in many ways. It gave the Christian community a non-confrontational way to show support for traditional marriage. Thanks to all the homosexual propagandists who meant it for evil, God used their actions to bless the U.S. yesterday. Now if that enthusiasm can extend to the voting booth....

Liberal Rage and Intolerance: Chick-fil-A is only the Beginning!

If liberals needed exposing for their in-your-face-we-hate-you intolerance, the Chick-Fil-A episode has unmasked their bloody fangs. Nobody who believes in traditional marriage may go unpunished. Just like "gay" activists went after those who donated to Proposition 8 in California, they and their fellow travelers are now lunging for the throat of a business that's as American as apple pie and fried chicken.

Let's take a look at the back story that brought out the muttations foaming at the mouth for chicken blood and snapping at the heels of the company.  It began back in January with a story about Chick-Fil-A donating food to several traditional marriage conferences. That was enough to put the company on the radar screen for annihilation. In November, the gay advocacy group Equality Matters revealed that the company had donated close to $2 million to organizations that defend traditional marriage.  But the spark that ignited over-the-top intolerant rage against the company was an interview of 91-year-old president Dan Cathy with the Baptist Press. Here's the section of the interview that brought out the homosexual hatemongers:

The company invests in Christian growth and ministry through its WinShape Foundation (WinShape.com). The name comes from the idea of shaping people to be winners.
It began as a college scholarship and expanded to a foster care program, an international ministry, and a conference and retreat center modeled after the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove.
"That morphed into a marriage program in conjunction with national marriage ministries," Cathy added. 
Some have opposed the company's support of the traditional family. "Well, guilty as charged," said Cathy when asked about the company's position.
"We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.
"We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized.
"We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

And there you have it folks. Surprise! Cathy is not calling for lynching homosexuals or banning them from lunch counters. He doesn't refuse to serve them at his restaurants. He is simply defending his own belief in traditional marriage as the bulwark of the Christian family and society. What he implies in the interview is a dislike of divorce, for heaven's sake! Thousands of years of history support Cathy's view. What exactly supports the "gay" redefinition of marriage? Nothing -- not a single thing!

When did anyone give homosexuals the right to define for all of us that marital intercourse is the same as anal sex?  No one is denying civil rights of homosexuals by telling the truth that they can't marry. And I use the word CAN'T deliberately. It is a physical impossibility for two men or two women to marry each other because their bodies do not fit together. It's the natural law. It's like claiming your civil rights are being violated because you can't fly.

At any rate, liberal politicians are piling on telling the company not to open resturants in their cities. The intolerance and demagoguery of the politicians is shocking! Since when does a politician, elected by the people, have the right to use the force of government to discriminate against Chick-Fil-A. That's the discrimination here; not discrimination against homosexuals. Let the "gay" activists organize a boycott of the company. That's the American way. Frankly, I avoid Starbucks like bubonic plague. But that's not the same thing as using the power of the state to crush a business that is politically incorrect.

This is just the beginning and a warning to Christian businesses that kristallnacht is coming to them too. Stand up and fight while you still can!

Oh...and my advice. "Eat mor chikin."
