Though it is not a *legal* attack on free speech, it is an attempt by the sodomites to harass and silence the opposition by intimidation.

It is not an attack on free speech. No one is locking executives of Chick-fil-a up.

How long have you been a Freeper and yet you don't understand the culture war?

Where have you been.

When homosexuals choose to boycott a business because they don't like the owner's views, then that is the American way.

However when a politician who has been given government power uses that power to squelch the thoughts of business owners and punishes business for thinking and believing differently than they do, then they are not only attacking free speech but they are doing in the way the Nazis and other Totalitarian regimes have done it throughout history.

Read some history. Learn about the constitution. Then after you have educated yourself, you can start posting here again and you won't be called on the carpet for being ignorant.

It's funny that those who pretend to preach tolerance are the most intolerant.

If you aren't "tolerant" you will be sent here, the "Death Camp of Tolerance," as foreseen by the prophets Parker and Stone.

I’ll be back on Aug. 1 to ridicule the “kiss-in” perverts Provided they’ve actually got the nerve to show up

Their "kiss in" was supposed to be on July 25. I showed up for breakfast, lunch and dinner and didn't see even one so called protester (although it would obviously take 2 to "kiss").

They won't show up because they think we are all right wing gun toting nutcases. They've been conditioned to think that way. If they do show up, then anyone there should just hand them a gift card and tell them how much they appreciate the fact that they came there to support Dan Cathy. If they spit on you, call the cops.

Rahm Emmanual is refusing to allow the chain permits to open in Chicago based on their core values.

What do you call that?

If a government official says you cannot operate your business because of your religious or political or social views, isn’t that the government punishing you for exercising free speech? Y

You don’t have to put someone in jail to violate their rights under the first amendment.

I have been showing my disgust for Dan Cathy and his opinions on Homo marriage by buying lunch at Chik-fil-A every day this week.

Got to love the double-standards. The Sissy Marys™ squeal demanding tolerance, then are intolerant when hetros stand up to their priniples.

Would it be a hate crime if hetros demonstrated at a business that supported the gay agenda?

Why don't the hetros make noise and start a movement to boycott Chicago and Boston?

I do that now with San Francisco Fagsicko. No tourist dollars. If forced to pass through the state traveling, I spend little as possible.

I’ll bet that Chick-fil-A isn’t a “Gun Free Zone” either!

Drove from Grafton, WI to the Chick-fil-a in Racine, picking up 3 friends along the way.

The sooner we split into commie-pinko-west, commie-pinko-east and jesus-land, the happier we will all be.

The 25th was the day the Christian organization(s) called to support CFA

I just checked, the perverts are scheduled to be onsite Aug. 3, Friday.

Mark your calendars.

Their "kiss in" was supposed to be on July 25.

I read that it is supposed to be on Aug. 3rd.

Just verified it here:

We should hand out Chick-Fil-A gift cards to all of the protesters who show up. If they throw them away then Chick-Fil-A will get to keep all the money and the only way they can lower the profit margin of the company is to actually use them to buy food.

Conundrum.

Mark your calendars.

1) Be nice

2) bring video cameras.

3) Film yourself handing the protesters gift certificates to Chick Fil A.

4) If they attack you then you will have the evidence on file for the police. It will be worth every penny just to see the snarly hate filled looks on their faces.

5) Post it on you tube.
