“Rahm Emanuel, Chick Fil A, and the easy slide into Fascism”

It is very easy - for one small step from this crap and you will find business owners limited in which candidates they are permitted to donate money to.

In other words, the same bunch raising this ruckus regarding Chick-a-fill will be, effectively, vetting our candidates for us - since a candidate without money is not a candidate.

This is serious stuff and CANNOT be permitted to take hold.

Imagine if a senior aide to George Bush made the comments that Rahm Emmanuel or those other left wing lowlife Democratic thugs made? The press would not let Bush rest until he addressed the issue? Will anyone in the MSM even question Obama?

Whether Christians realize it or not. We are at war. We have been at war since the enemy was thrown out of heaven. I think its about time we recognized it, mobilized our troops and break into combat battalions to take it to the enemy. In this case the bully facists of the democratic party establishment...but for an organization that largely grew by word of mouth and a few pronouncements from Huckabee on FOX...there were several stories of long lines at Chic Fil A resturants...There was one on local news last night that had to close. Reason? THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD because of the crowd.
Amen

“Will anyone in the MSM question Obama?”

No.

Most of the MSM is on the Obama campaign team. When they come in to work...first thing they do is check daily DNC talking points. Then the producers assign “stories” to back the Obama agenda. “Reporters” cover these “stories” with points that underline DNC talking points.

Make no mistake here...most of the media is in the tank. These “reporters” attended J school post Watergate. They think it is their job to...”make a difference”...not report the news.

I’m sorry that this article did not mention that Francis Cardinal George scolded Emanuel on his “Chicago Values” statements, noting that he (Goerge) was born and raised in Chicago and that Emanuel’s “values” did not resemble anything that the Cardinal recognized.

When you push people too far, they push back. Yesterday was a clear, classic example of that.

The media is desperately trying to bury this, since it doesn’t fit the currently-approved narrative, but it’s hard to hide.

It's a total antithesis to the Idea Of America! Actually trying to barr a company from doing business using gov't resources because of an owners beliefs goes directly against our whole foundation. If these gov't officials act on this as their words indicate they are going to lose BIG TIME! Every person in this country Conservative/Liberal/Independent should be outraged at these prix, Meleno and Emanuel! (and a few others)

If this kind of stuff is allowed to take hold there better be a civil war!

Obama needs to ease the burdens of American Employers

Emmanuel need to stop the most dangerous murderous city in America and help find employers for his city.

Mayor Brillo Head from Chicago is merely practicing the essence of the Democrap Party. That is, practicing the politics of FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED!

This is already happening. On Obama's official web site, he is naming large Republican donors, with this lead paragraph:

A closer look at Romney’s donors reveals a group of wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records. Quite a few have been on the wrong side of the law, others have made profits at the expense of so many Americans, and still others are donating to help ensure Romney puts beneficial policies in place for them. Here’s a look at just a few of the people Romney has relied on:
Can pogroms against Republican donors be far behind?

Emanuel is a disgraceful Kapo in my opinion.

Hell with Chicago. They voted the bastard into the office; let them live with facism. Chicago sure ain’t ‘my kinda’ town’, so you make of it what (and who) you want, Chicago. You, too; Boston, San Fran. Not my worry.

Every time a sodomite nazi opens their mouth I am reminded of the remake of THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS when DONALD SUTHERLAND opens his mouth, points his finger and screams!

I think at this point it is impossible to hide. And I think the liberals and rainbow agenda crowd are stunned to the core. But of course they won’t let us know this. ;-)

Corporate CEO’s should not get involved in social politics with other people’s money and shares in the business. They do it to buy political cover from fascist politicans and it’s only made them more brazen and hateful.

We have had enough of stupid, self serving global elitists telling everyone what to do and think. They’ve jumped the shark.

But, of course, the MSM will spin it to imply that "we didn't know how many bigots hated us" instead of "we didn't know how many people still believe in free speech".

Yep - and as far as the GLAAD-sponsored “Same-Sex Kiss-in @ Chick-Fil-A” on Friday, I am fulling expecting MSM to turn it into “a noble day of bravery in the face of bigotry” type thing ——for all that, the MSM does the rainbow/liberal agenda no favors by protecting it from reality and encouraging its delusions.
