If you support Chick-fil-A in the face of left-wing nutcase attacks over the restaurant chains support of traditional marriage, ACLU of Massachusetts Executive Director Carol Rose has some advice:
Did you see that politicians Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee are now trying to rally all homophobes to eat at Chick-fil-A? Im thrilled. In fact, I encourage all bigots to load up on transfats and carbohydrates. Go ahead eat your heart out on the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit breakfast! Mmmm.
Presumably, her idea is to trigger heart attacks.
In her July 27 ACLU blog post entitled Menino v. Chick-fil-A, Ms. Rose revealed Boston Mayor Thomas Meninos peculiar understanding of the word freedom in his rant to Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy. There is no place for discrimination on Bostons Freedom Trial and no place for your company alongside it, Menino declared.
So far, Mr. Cathy, who in an interview published July 16 in The Baptist Press defended marriage and the biblical family, has earned scathing threats from liberal officials in Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago, and the list grows. In San Francisco, Mayor Edwin M. Lee tweeted: Closest #ChickFilA to San Francisco is 40 miles away & I strongly recommend that they not try to come any closer.
Down the coast in Orange County, protesters on Thursday mobbed the grand opening of a Chick-fil-A store in Laguna Hills, forcing the cancellation of a camp-out for free meal tickets. One marcher dressed as Jesus Christ held a sign saying No H8. Another sign said, God Hates Hate. One woman in a chicken suit had a placard proclaiming, Corporate profits should not fund hate groups.
Not to be outdone, on Friday in Washington, D.C., Mayor Vincent Gray joined the mob by sending a tweet calling Chick-fil-A hatechicken.
But, back to the ACLU and its supposed protection of our First Amendment rights. Ms. Rose, whose Chick-fil-A piece first ran on July 26 on The Boston Globes On Liberty blog, described the citys imbroglio as merely a war of words, and noted that a Chicago aldermans threat to deny a building permit to Chick-fil-A might give Mr. Cathy a pretty strong claim under the First Amendment that he is a victim of viewpoint discrimination by a government official. Well, bully for that!
Finally, her dietary advice is eerily reminiscent of USA Today columnist and Pacifica Radio talk show host Julianne Malveauxs remark on PBS in 1994 that she wished newly confirmed conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas would fall victim to unhealthy food. Malveaux said:
You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease.
This bizarre comment earned Ms. Malveaux the Media Research Centers coveted Im a Compassionate Liberal But I Wish You Were All Dead Award. Someone ought to nominate Ms. Rose for the honor.
August 1 is Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, when regular people who support marriage, dislike attacks on free speech, or just want to tweak bullies while having a delicious and nutritious chicken sandwich will be showing up en masse at one of the chains more than 1,600 restaurants.
This is a game of chicken with constitutional consequences.
Trans fats or not. The lifespan of a heterosexual is a couple of decades longer than the average homo. So eat on that ACLU!
So, where does this lawyer live? I’d like to know her address for future reference... ;-)
“Homophobe” is Frankenslang, nothing more.
Homos means same, phobos means fear. If the Greek roots were correctly applied, then a “homophobe” would be someone who fears those who have exactly the same traits as oneself.
Me, I’m not afraid of other straight heterosexual God fearing conservative gun owners who like Chick Fil-A.
But I want nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuals, their behavior, or their agenda.
“Almost all people labeled homophobe have no fear of homosexuals whatsoever.”
Well, I’m afraid of them and what their “in the open” presence means to our country. I also fear any sexual immorality (hetereo or homo). I fear it is turning our nation into a sewer.
So, I’m quite content to be called a “homophobe” by them, because as I keep saying.
Homophobia is the perfectedly NATURAL fear of sexual behavior that is patently UNNATURAL.
I do understand your revulsion of the name game the homosexuals play....it is disgusting. However, I will gladly wear the title of homophobe because it means I stand against them and their agenda to pervert this nation.

YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT CHICKEN SANDWICH !!!
Jim Walton wasn’t gay enough for CNN, so he resigned... Anderson Cooper is too gay to go to the Middle East again...
The chicken hawks at CNN would have us believe that selling chicken sandwiches has something to do with sodomy, maybe they could give us an exclusive interview with the Muppets and Jerry Sandusky about the halal chili dog they have between their buns?
In the game of political correctness, what are the trump cards?
What does happen when perversity and diversity clash?
Do they ‘spread the other cheek’ for their new Islamic masters?

Hate speech from the ACLU!? I’m shocked I tell ya!
***Well, I’ll eat all the bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches at Chick-Fil-A,****
If straight people eat bacon, egg and cheese, what do the queers eat?
DON’T ANSWER THAT!
My, my. I wonder what this ACLU jerk would have to say if I said I hope all the gays spread a mutant resistant AIDS virus amongst themselves and died?
overnight summer NUDIST camps run by pedophiles/homosexuals/sodomites...
They are all the rage in Kalipornia and such. No parents allowed either.
I think you are correct that they did come out on the right side. Is this a backtrack or a rogue voice in the wind from one of the lawyers that couldn’t make the real money in the real world so they end up at the ACLU.....
But does he hate watermelon?
I guess the ACLU prefers Heterophobia and Heterophobes over religious freedom?
Makes me want to eat more Chick Fil A
I have an aversion to those deviants because the Bible instructs me to:
2nd John 1:9 - 11 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Galatians 5:19 - 21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
“ACLU lawyer wants Chick-fil-A supporters to gorge on transfats”
I too don’t like Transfats, ONE BIT.
Being that I’m now eating at Chick-a-fill daily (until they are out of the news), I went to their site and checked. NOPE - no sign of trannies in their burgers or fries - at least the stuff I order. Zero on all.
So others - EAT UP TOO!!!
And it looks like the ACLU is exposing themselves to a SERIOUS slander lawsuit.
Well, then this statement is valid: This Chick-Fil-A customer wants ACLU lawyers to die in horrible traffic deaths while I take pictures for the internet.
I'm guessing the ACLU freak, Carol Rose, is the one on the right.
First, there's the fact that "homophobe" would mean an "irrational fear of the same" (as someone else noted). Second, if you do have a fear and it's reasoned, rational, not persistent and not consistent with an uncontrollable anxiety disorder (you won't suddenly run screaming if you find out the guy in line near you is gay), then it's not a phobia. It's just a fear. IOW, it's natural to be scared of a king cobra coming at you, the fear doesn't make it a phobia. But if you see one in a cage and cringe and run screaming, you might have a phobia.
An aversion is not a phobia. Do you experience anxiety when you see a gay, or do you just look on with disapproval of what they represent?
