Chick-fil-A beef puts mayor in pressure cooker (video at link)

Posted on 07/26/2012 10:11:10 PM PDT by tsowellfan

Mayor Thomas M. Menino withdrew his threat to ban Chick-fil-A from Boston over the chicken chain president’s anti-gay marriage stance — but the Hub Democrat remained in the crosshairs of national conservatives, including former GOP presidential hopefuls Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee.

“When I heard of the vicious hate speech and economic bullying being directed toward the (CEO Dan) Cathy family and their Chick-fil-A company, it was stunning. In the name of ‘tolerance’ a group was exercising extreme intolerance and trying to censor a citizen by threatening their business,” Huckabee told the Herald last night...

I'm voting alright. I'm voting for the conservative.

Which is not a vote against Obama>

If Obama is reelected then Congress will just have to do their constitutional duty and impeach the bastard.

Just like they did Clinton...Right?

Frankly I expect that Romney will be elected.

Maybe not if enough people vote like you. Thanks for helping Obama kill the USA.

A leftist exposed is a leftist defeated.
A leftist agenda exposed is a leftist agenda thwarted.

This is why Obama’s small business remarks are so damaging.

I don't think there are a lot of principled conservatives out there. I suspect I am in the 1% and if Romney needs the 1% of principled conservatives voters to beat Obama then he deserves to lose to Obama.

Secondly I live in California, so my vote really doesn't matter since it will be canceled out by 2 votes from illegal aliens.

Thanks for helping Obama kill the USA.

If Obama is re-elected will you call upon your congressman and senator to impeach him? I sure as hell will. I will demand it.

The GOP Establishment has to be made to realize that this election is their last chance. They will be given power by the voters. If they don't follow through, they will be replaced. No slack, no how. It's follow through or they'll be carried from the field.

Regardless, the Tea Party movement should be mainly focused on the defeat of RINOs at every primary, particularly senators. Every high-level RINO incumbent should get a primary challenger, and the full national weight of the Tea Party should be toward his primary defeat.

Impeachment (on what grounds?) might stand a chance in the House with a Republican majority.

But conviction requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate. Not a chance in hell. Remember Trent Lott's famous pronouncement regarding the Senate vote on Clinton's impeachment?

If Obama is reelected, we're stuck with him for four more years.

I'm against gay 'marriage'.

I'm also against marriage between one man and four women - and I'm against marriage between people and animals or marriage of close relatives or anything other than a man and a woman.

So what?

That's my belief system and I'm NOT ashamed of it.

I don't care what names liberal elites call me - or how they chose to bully ... it stands: Marriage is between one man and one woman. Period.

Yeah. I can be mad about both at the same time. It’s not a ‘one or the other’ Zero sum type of thing, Both are wrong. Both deserve our outrage.

You want a list? Just for starters his refusal to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.

It is clear. All one need to do is speak out against the perverted homosexuals. And they will ban themselves from your business. No need to post a sign in your business.

“They don’t discriminate their hiring choices based on sexual orientation, that would be illegal and allow them to be sued. They do treat every customer with respect and great customer service - as they should.”

I meant a homo wouldn’t apply to work there nor would one want to eat there. I should have made that plainer.

Do you think calling people “homos” somehow elevates yourself? Really, it’s rude. I have gay friends who eat there, and I’m pretty sure one of the guys who works at the store we go to is gay - as I said they treat everyone politely and respectfully, it’s a good business. It’s certainly good conservatism,and even better if you’re a follower of Jesus. Doesn’t mean you embrace the message, but why would anyone want to consider the other side of an issue if they are called snide names?

Bloomberg hates the 32 oz drink because he can't hold the cup without the bottom hitting the ground.

LOL!

Let's not start that **** again.

No, lets DO start that **** again. It is our God given right to do and they will not shut us up or shout us down.

Always remember, we surround them, not the other way around.

Yes! That's the truth! Their numbers are an ILLUSION!

My answer to you is: Homosexuals, homos, homosexuals, homos.

Do you follow Jesus? Or is Christianity a standard you think you can use against Christians?
