Oh, this is going to be delightful. Kevin Cochran is black. So Atlanta will have to make a choice between a black and a gay.
Where is that popcorn eating deer when you need him?
The day will come when a person can be fired for being ‘anti-conservative’.
Wonder how the ‘liberals’ will feel then?
No can have views. You thinkee the way we tell you to thinkee.
And that is just the point, isn’t it.
The next person who tells me that somebody else’s “gayness” doesn’t affect Christians, I will...don’t know what I’ll do...
History is repeating itself again! All Christians want to do is live their lives according to their faith and that faith isn’t confined to just Sunday mornings.
most of the early colonies were founded by people fleeing their home countries because of religious persecution. Now, Christians are being persecuted, but with nowhere left to go.
I bought his book just to support him. It doesnt hurt that he is right.
Ask them if Christians also have a right to their life style choice.
Use their own PC language against them. Where's the Christian tolerance? What about diversity? Inclusiveness?
They made these rules - USE THEM. Force them to argue against their own propaganda.
I never knew you could be fired for having your own opinion about something in the USA. The only countries before that this would happen were Nazi Germany, North Korea, Iran and maybe the Soviet Union years ago. Today we are becoming the Fascist states of America
To the Democrats, blacks are the ex-wife raising the kids; gays are the new trophy wife. And the Hispanics are the ones they have their eye on for their next affair.
LOL. Excellent analogy.
If I were rich I would give this man millions to sue their a$$e$ off.
The undesirables must be identified and removed. They stink and are a blot on our progressive society. But, lets do it legally. Then in the name of law, we can mark them, shut down their businesses, force them out of work, pack them up and ship them off to the camps so we dont have to see them, and where work will set them free.
They dont exist. What happens to them in the camps is irrelevant; as long as our progressive brave new world does not have to see them or acknowledge their existence or non-existence.
I believe the crux of the matter is that the gentleman's employment contract with the City of Atlanta required pre-approval by the city of any material that was going to be published.
[[After being fired for writing whats been described as an anti-gay book, former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran says he absolutely wants his job back.]]
He should be demanding that EVERY person who wrote anything even remotely Anti-Christian, at ANY point I n their life ALSO be fired since we seem to be firing people for having opinions now-
Christians should be organized with lawyers and protestors to stand up with this guy. They should be visiting churches all over the Atlanta area to inform the Christians what happened to him. He’s being persecuted for being a Christian.
I’ve never seen that mentioned before. Do you have a link by chance?
Try this (apologies for being Amish). The city maintains they have a right to approve, the Chief claims discrimination against his beliefs which to me is obvious. The case actually carries more significance now given the resent SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage.
Q: Didnt Chief Cochran need the mayors permission to publish his book?I'm also a bit confused by your posting "(apologies for being Amish)". I'm unclear on what you mean by that.A: No, because the city does not have a policy requiring the mayors approval before city employees may publish a book. And if the city did, it would violate city employees free speech rights. The First Amendment is the only permission slip Kelvin Cochran needed to write and self-publish a non-work-related book on his own time. People dont lose their right to free speech just because they work for the government.
