RACER I AM NATIVE AMERICAN ! I have a mixed race son! Many others on this board have mixed race familys. I have had the pleasure to meetsome of thier spouses. The tired chants of your a bigot your evil by the left do not have any power over us any more. Its public end happened on Wed. No one but the giblets espoused any hate some one called in a Bomb threat how does that promote tolerance. It does'nt it hurts your postion with people that otherwise would support your postion. The threats just prove your people could be dangerous. How does that help? People went had lunch and supported freedom of speech. We are not homophobic we are homo annoyed! We do not fear you. We just laugh at you now you are so desparate to change the way every one lives and thinks We will never validate your postion so have a nice life. | ||

>>> If you put your personal beliefs into your company's profile...expect fallout. Tough fallout, record sales. Anti-Christian bigots and their bewilderingly ignorant fantasy characterizations of church folk are truly sad. I've visited a lot of different churches. None are anything like what the hater bigots imagine. Those waffle fries are great. Sandwiches are good. Service is astounding; fastest fast food anywhere. I may trek to Longview tomorrow for lunch just to belatedly support Chick Fil-A. | ||

How ironic the bigots are calling others bigot... I'm sure the whites in the south were black annoyed in the 50s. Human rights are for everyone. Not just those who hold a bible and think buying chicken sandwiches support anything and for all the preaching about free speech is even more ironic. Why can't those annoying faggots speak their minds? Seems a bit one sided that we live in a new society where uber conservatives think it is ok to slam christ down our throats why not take a bit of penis down yours? | ||

Cool story racerx. I'd like to read more about your thoughts of how blacks obtaining human rights is izackly like rewarding anal sex with a religious covenant religious leaders overall do not endorse. Have you appealed to the Muslim brotherhood for political support yet? | ||

As a Christian, what I have a hard time with is the ability of everyone to trash my belief, but I'm required to accept theirs. I get frustrated when the only thing someone anti-Christian can do is slam Christianity, rather than come up with actual points. Most Christians I know live in multiracial families. I have a non-white stepson who's amazing. My cat is also mixed. Racerx, most Christians love the sinner, but hate the sin. I'm not sure what I think about homosexuality, I know it occurs throughout nature with other species. (Message edited by Thumper74 on August 02, 2012) | ||

I do appreciate (that) as Christians, we have enormous power over our detractors. We (Christians) understand that athiest secularism, as exhibited by activist alternative sexuality groups and their supporters in threads such as this one, destroy something very essential about human life. I do appreciate the comparison of gays with animal groups earlier in this thread. Well done. Any ever know a drag queen who had not been sexually abused as a child? Or know a fire belching verbally caustic and physically abusive lesbian who wasn't sexually abused? Just asking. Ever note that gay-lesbian-transgender-etc. activists never take a public stand on the sexual abuse of children? (Insert cricket chirping sound here). Clearly the indoctrination of secular humanism has worked well on a substantial segment of our society. Christians are the only "no holds barred" group to slam in the press, in politics, in religion, in common social debate. (Message edited by moxnix on August 02, 2012) | ||

Racerx, One word: gross. | ||

>>Seems a bit one sided that we live in a new society where uber conservatives think it is ok to slam christ down our throats why not take a bit of penis down yours? Thank you for giving such great power over yourself to all the Christians you appear to hate. P.S.- I'll pass on the suggestion at the end of the sentence. P.P.S.- Oh, I've got it all wrong. I was looking at gay activism as "them" trying to slam their agenda down our throats. Huh. I stand corrected, but will still resist taking you up on it. Back in the early 1990s in Seattle, the chief of police would not let his officers, on their own time, march in uniform with the Family Values parade a week after the city's gay rights parade. Wanna' guess if the chief, himself, marched in uniform in the gay parade? Some people are more equal than others... | ||

I know you are trolling RacerX, but parts of this are a fun discussion anyway.
Good point. The Democrats were indeed terrible bigots. Fortunately, after about 100 years of struggle, the Republican party finally pried enough control away from them to end the sin of segregation in our country. | ||

LOL..... Ignorance at his age is unlikely to be cured by anything so spurious as historic fact. | ||

What is really interesting about the whole argument is the 1st amendment right issue. Here is a very important question. Should businesses have all or non of the rights granted under the Bill of Rights. There is also 2 different Mr. Cathys. One is the private citizen and the other is Mr. Cathy the business. They are 2 completely different people. The government treats them different, look at the IRS tax code, look at the regulations, ect. So, to me the real issue behind the curtain is, Does the Bill of Rights apply to businesses? What I am hearing from all of this is, the public wants businesses to be equal to citizens. | ||

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/mainstream-med ia-blacks-out-chick-fil-story_649234.html Predictably, the media largely ignores the huge success of the support of Chick Fil A. I don't think it matters though. People know what happened without the MSM. We've already learned the MSM has a huge agenda they are pushing. Went to a friends house last night (one of the band members I mentioned earlier). She hit a Chick Fil A about 3:30 and it was still jammed. They also apologized for being sold out on many of their menu items. My friend said it was pretty much a party vibe, unusually social for a fast food joint. So I wonder how the gays think their kiss-in protest will be seen by the general public? If they plan on disrupting business, that should be dealt with by police. If they just want to make a scene by sticking their tongues down each others throats, is this going to be seen in a positive way? I really don't see what they are trying to achieve beyond an opportunity to be in your face with their lifestyle. That is one of their biggest problems. | ||
| Sifo |
Seen this yet? Is this the way to promote an agenda? His employer saw it and fired him. You would think a CFO for a medical supplies manufacturer would have a better head on his shoulders. http://www.businessinsider.com/vante-cfo-bullies-c hick-fil-a-worker-then-promptly-gets-fired-for-it- 2012-8
BTW, the Chick Fil A employee was extremely professional. Quite a contrast! | ||

Lies. https://www.google.com/search?aq=f&hl=en&gl=us&tbm =nws&btnmeta_news_search=1&q=chick-fil-a+appreciat ion+day&oq=chick-f&gs_l=news-cc.1.2.43j0i3l2j0i33l 2j43i400.4087.6958.0.8832.9.8.1.0.0.1.91.516.8.8.0 ...0.0...1ac.NNgRDd27LrU The link you mentioned says there wasn't anything on the front page of various papers. I'm pretty sure most wouldn't consider it front page news, especially when more important things are going on.
And the non-MSM isn't pushing anything?
I'm not gay, but personally I don't think it is going to get much coverage, and I doubt it will do anything either.
I agree, I think it is just going to backfire.
To put the shoe on the other foot, it isn't any different than having heterosexual only lifestyle being forced in their faces. | ||
| Froggy |
What a dick. I understand his protest and getting the free water, but making a video and harassing the employee was a dick move. | ||
| Sifo |
Froggy, How exactly is heterosexual only lifestyle being forced in anyone's face? Dan Cathy simply answered a question during an interview. Anyone is free to ignore his views. Other than in response to stupidity (such as the Chick Fil A dust up) where do you see "straights" demonstrating? Where has there ever been a "straight pride parade"? How often do you see a "straight" flag? Is there even such a thing? Have you ever seen an anti-gay bumper sticker? I've seen plenty promoting gays. You even recognize the guy in the video to be a dick for his actions? When have you seen something comparable from the other side? | ||

The Chick-Fil-A employee handled that eloquently . . . . I'm all about everyone having EQUAL rights. Nice to see FOX news, after they had Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day, having a "Same Sex Kiss In Day". What folk's want to do is their own business. But when the prescribe to me, of the founder of Chick-Fil-A . . well, ail bets are off. Equal only works . . . . well, when it is. I'm off to NJ to find a Chick-Fil-A. Never eaten at one but the reports of good food is drawing me. Why couldn't there idiots have taken on a BBQ joint? | ||
| Froggy |
Sifo, yes to all the above, I've seen anti-gay protests, bumper stickers, etc. Hell, this entire "Appreciation Day" is for the most part a large anti gay protest. Buy buying their chicken, you financially support the suppression of gays. I don't even think I need to mention the WBC. While they are the loudest and get the most attention, they aren't the only ones. Like I said before, the guy in the video was a dick, his verbal actions were uncalled for. | ||
| Froggy |
I know it is going to sound biased given this whole thread, but I had Chick Fil A once years ago when I was in Florida, and I didn't like it at all, it was pretty much the same as KFC with a pickle on top. The waffle fries were good though. | ||
| Sifo |
Well you've got me on WBC. So what percentage of the population supports what they do. It would be a very small fraction of a percent. The "Appreciation Day" is simply a response to the gay protest against Chick Fil A. If they hadn't tried to make the in your face protest, it would never have happened. Sifo, yes to all the above Really? What town has a straight pride parade? I'm also curious, what do the anti-gay bumper stickers say? I never see them around here. Can you post a picture of the "straight" flag? I can't say that I'm familiar with it. | ||
| Court |
>>>The waffle fries were good though. Good . . . any two folks you know in the world . . . more likely to live off a diet of waffle fries and Coke than you an I? :-) Frogster . . . you are my culinary guru! | ||

I'll have to dig into the parade thing, I heard about one in NYC a few years back. Anti gay bumper sticker  Straight flag  | ||

Don't tread on me?  Kidding, just had to. | ||

Untrue. I decided to go to CFA because of First Amendment issues. Others that I spoke with were there for the same reason. | ||

No doubt that anti gay bumper stickers exist. I don't think I've ever seen one though. I did a search for "anti gay bumper stickers" though. Here's what I find... http://www.zazzle.com/anti+gay+bumperstickers Odd that it's virtually all PRO-gay bumper stickers. Pretty much backs up what I said about who's in who's face. So there is a straight flag! Who knew? Seriously... Who? I've never seen one. Wouldn't have known what it was if I did. I know what the rainbow flag means though and I see plenty of them. Who's in who's face? Deny it if you like Froggy, but people know what's what. Want to see who can come up with a longer list on the parade thing? Who's in who's face? I'll let you post your list first. |
