With that said.. Chick Fil-A appreciation day on Wednesday was one of the most pathetic and idiotic things I've ever witnessed. probably about 2% of the people who showed up did it to support free speech (which I can tolerate).. but about 98% showed up because they Love Jesus and Hate Fags. We have a bunch of fucl<ing dolts in this country who cannot think for themselves... I cant believe people actually listen to Mike Huckabee. If any of you went to Chick Fil-A on Wednesday for any other reason than you were just hungry for fried chicken (bigrun, you are okay man)... I'd like to say from the bottom of my heart, Fucl< You.

Want to know what is most comical? This biblical definition of marriage.

A lot of marriages in the bible are between one man and multiple women. And your wife better damn well have been a virgin when you got married. Also dont even think about divorce.. and NEVER, i mean, NEVER remarry.

People who bring up the bible when making statements against gay marriage, in my personal opinion, are as dumb as a bag of rocks.

Thank you, you are on a roll today...Other than my trip to Durham, i haven't been to a chickfila in years..none close by and i prefer Hardees chicken to them all..Just amazes me seeing the reaction from all sides on this mindless issue..
And i kinda liked Huckleberry last election cycle, spoke well and impressed me (but i'm easy)..but when he went over to Fox i tossed him..

Here's the latest cartoon on the subject..

The idiocy of this country was just played out this week in the whole Chick-Fil-A deal.....

It's what we have sunk too as a nation.

Rahm Emanual is an idiot. The Mayor of DC is an idiot. Huckabee is an idiot.

I just hope the puppy drum, pompano, and flounder are as big of idiots when I begin my 30 day vacation next Fri....

Think you can get a Chik-fil-a franchise if you are divorced? It ain't happening. Where are the liberals outrage over that?

Liberal outrage? If this is true, shouldn't EVERYONE be outraged...

The State of North Carolina (actually its citizens not its politicians) voted the same way Chik Fil A's owner spoke. Yet where's the outrage against the Democratic Party holding their Presidential convention in North Carolina?



Hopefully Rahm will make a call to Obama letting him know!

Or are the golf courses that good!

Forever I will never understand the conflation of "free speech" with "speech without consequences" that conservatives love SO much.

The "free speech" portion of this discussion ended when Cathy said what he said. That's what free speech is -- his right to say what he did.

Not his right to avoid a boycott, be called out for his views, or lose business over it if that's what happened. That's not an issue of free speech -- ironically enough, it's an issue of a free market economy and people wanting go vote with their dollars. But when it comes to hating gays, all logic goes out the window.

This is hardly an issue of free speech. Nobody censored Cathy or denied him his right to say what he did. That's the only portion of this that had anything to do with "free speech" and the First Amendment, and the First Amendment worked just fine in this case.

Same thing happened with the Mormon lady in Cali whose restaurant got boycotted after it was found out that she donated to the effort to repeal gay marriage in California. All the gay-hating conservatives got all worked up about her right to free speech, pretending that her restaurant being boycotted for what she said and did had ANYTHING at all to do with the First Amendment.

What a bunch of disingenuous hacks.

Yeah, what he said

I personally think the only legal union, recognized by the government, should be civil unions for all.

If people believe in religion, and want to go have a type of ceremony there, good for them. But that should have nothing to do with legal recognition of the union as far as taxes, government, divorce, etc.

You are absolutely correct that freedom of speech is not involved when consumers vote with their feet and pocketbooks in response to a company's position. However, the issue leaves the marketplace of ideas and enters the arena of First Amendment rights when you have local elected officials use their position of power to make implicit threats against the company because of the its President's beliefs. For example, the mayor of Boston wrote, "I urge you to back out of your plans to locate in Boston." I don't know how things are done where you live, but it is fairly easy in many cities to harass a potential business with byzantine zoning regulations and enforcement of various codes that involve a lot of discretion.
