A rare moment of sanity for Mayor Bloomy.

[Rinnwald]

Wow. Did Bloomie use up all his crazy for the week?

Mr. Bloomberg went on to argue that blocking a business based on their political beliefs opens a potential slippery slope
If the Left had their way - right now, today, in America! - this sign would say "Christian."

In support, I would have lunch at a Chick-fil-A today, except the closest restaurant seems to be 10 hrs 18 mins / 623.81 miles from my house.... darn.

"I've got my hands full keeping evil guns out of my subjects' hands, so give me a break with the chickens ban already. And I thought Michelle liked healthy food? Oy, we can't even keep the streets plowed and you want me to go after this chicken guy. Stop your kvetching, I'm supposed to be a Republican you know. The soft drink ban wasn't good enough? She won't leave it alone? OK. These tsuris I'm not needing ... are you going to eat those waffles?"

“They’re all friends but I disagree with them really strongly on this one,” Mr. Bloomberg said of his mayoral colleagues. “You can’t have a test for what the owners’ personal views are before you decide to give a permit to do something in the city. You really don’t want to ask political beliefs or religious beliefs before you issue a permit, that’s just not government’s job.”

Mr. Bloomberg went on to argue that blocking a business based on their political beliefs opens a potential slippery slope where liberal cities block conservative establishments and vice versa with conservative cities.

“Freedom of speech — everybody’s in favor of it as long as it’s what they want to hear,” he explained. “Well the only way that you have your freedom of speech is if you give other people freedom of speech. … This is just a bad idea and it’s not going to happen in New York City.”

OMG!!! Mad Mikey has been kidnapped and replaced by a rational lookalike. The NYPD should be investigating where Mikey is...oh, wait, they're supposed to be going on strike soon...NEVER MIND!

Having sniffed the winds of politics Bloomberg sees his fellow rats being decimated by their stance against Chick-Fil-A and for once in his life sides with decency.........

[dragnet2]

For a long time, we have made a habit of not going to restaurants for a variety of reason, including expense and the fact most hire illegals for the back of the house, which we refuse to aid and abet or condone.

If people knew who was working at these fast food places and traditional restaurants, and knew what goes on in these places, they'd never go back.

But if we decide go to a restaurant again, it will be this chicken house.

You really don’t want to ask political beliefs or religious beliefs before you issue a permit, that’s just not government’s job.”

Looks like Bloomberg doesn't want conservatives to be forced to wear yellow stars... or to be ONLY allowed to do business in ghetto areas. Big of him... Too bad the other dem mayors are haters... eff 'em.

[WKUHilltopper]

How benevolent and tolerant of him....FUBloomingidiot!

[bert]

Bloomberg is the great satan. No funds for NYC after the big attack....... Let it disappear like Persopolis

[libertarian27]

Bloomturd, the Mayor that never disliked a ban he met...says this?

I guess the ‘broken clock/right twice a day’ thing is true yet again...

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Chick-Fil-A’s profits are going to rise dramatically. Ready to applaud big time when the numbers come out.

[trisham]

I’m more than surprised.

[firebrand]

Putting on his libertarian hat. Ouch. Too small. Time to start planning what he can ban next. Maybe time to ban chicken-fillet sandwiches. Go at it that way.
