I never said a word when CEO Dan Cathy expressed his views on gay marriage. The fast-food chain shuts down on Sundays for crying out loud, I don’t think it was ever any question what its doctrine was. I also never said a word when the left-of-center chomped at the bit to criticize the company and attempt to launch a boycott. This is the very essence of America. Fight the speech you don’t like with more speech. Beautiful stuff. I applaud it.
But then the politicians got involved. First, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino vowed to keep the franchise out of his city, then Chicago alderman Proco “Joe” Moreno moved to ban the restaurants, then New York City Councillor Christine Quinn moved to ban it, and then — and here’s the real kicker — Rahm Emanuel speaks out in support of Moreno, saying Chick-fil-A’s values “are not Chicago values.”
Then Rahm goes on to summon the Jew-hating, whites-bashing, UFO-citing Louis Farrakhan to put on his cape and swoop into Chicago to help fight crime. So, Farrakhan, a man who has repeatedly called Hitler a “great man” and Judaism a “gutter religion” represents “Chicago values,” but those Christian, conservative, chicken-eaters better get the hell out.
This Chick-fil-A debate really has nothing to do with gay marriage for me, though I’m sure it does for some. This debate is about the freedom to express freely from the right. We are conservatives for a reason. We don’t use our children as human shields, we don’t get pepper sprayed in mass droves, we don’t defecate on the American flag, we don’t chain ourselves to fences and we don’t protest just about everything on the planet there is to protest. We aren’t represented in the media because we aren’t obnoxious enough.

In Wednesday evening’s newscast I happened to see a clip of Rahm bloviating about CfA not having Chicago’s values. I looked very closely at the man himself. He looks terrible; like he’s being eaten up by some kind of galloping crud. His complexion is blotchy and he looks haggard. Hanging with Beelzebub will take its toll.....and then comes eternity!
Thank you, Jessica. That was really REALLY nice.
I loved looking at the pictures at the bottom of it, too. All of those GREAT, God fearing Americans...
