I disagree - it's all about the Polynesian sauce.

Red that was bad of you. I have no alcohol and I swear "The ACLU defends a Christian" has to be on a drinking game somewhere as a double shot.

On Facebook a relative wrote this rant about chick-Fill-A is filled with homophobes. I was shaking I was so upset! I felt like to cry. I commented on how sad that post made me feel. I just wish people could be more mature about this. I wish people wouldn't throw temper tantrums every time they don't get their way. Weather they like it or not, I am in control of my mind...NOT THEM!

I suggest you stay off Facebook, or at least reduce your time on it. It seems to be giving you much stress on a regular basis.

As for as the owner of chick-fil-a, was it any surprise? Did people really think he did not already believe what he said.

I fail to see how this debunks my points. You merely humanize this reality that I speak of. This does not change the facts of reality or the points I made.

At the end of the day, this nation is pulled one of two ways. We go to the side of socialist ideology, or we go to conservative ideology. And today, we are being dangerously dragged to the socialist end. Many just want to eat chicken. But this great restaurant we live in, is currently going over a cliff to it's own destruction.


You can claim I am overreacting. However, you can only convince me if you counter-argue against my points......and not just go on about how humanizing the situation somehow makes everything better and fluffy.

How exactly is me pointing out that this is not a complex issue "humanizing" and making it "better and fluffy"? I don't have to humanize, it's a human problem. Nowhere in the last week did a throng of homosexual zebras wanting marriage threaten to boycott a bunch of chicken-purveying Christian antelopes who disagreed. Besides, shouldn't the goal of a faith that claims to love each neighbour as themselves be to DESIRE to humanize problems? To have empathy and compassion? But wait, "humanizing" is what those hippie socialists do. Good Christian conservatives don't bother with that. There's a point to be made here, right?

Fact is, I don't need to debunk your point. Your point was that this was the fault of liberals and socialists. I said that was ridiculous. This is different people having different opinions. The fact that a popular view of issues differs from your view doesn't make it about socialism or liberalism, just because you consider yourself conservative. And your myopic view of politics in this country is obviously betrayed by your statement that

as though somehow those are two absolute opposites (which they are not) and that those are the only two choices (which they are not). Trying to make everything into a ERMAHGERD LIBUHRALS argument is laughable. Sometimes things really are totally uncomplicated, and trying to turn everything into some big conspiracy is just wasted mental energy. What exactly does a gay person wanting to get married and boycotting people who disagree have to do with socialism? Bingo. Not a thing. Parroting republican talking heads doesn't make what they are saying become truth.

actual conversation with 2 students yesterday when the bus stopped for dinner. they had to choose between chick fil a, whataburger, and panda express.

me: where you wanna go eat?
them: not chick fil a. they are against gay marriage
me: actually their owner is. the company has no stance.
them: lets go to whataburger
me: their founder also is against gay marriage
them: *silence* well...chick fil a actually said it so we're going to whataburger

derp. pretty much sums it all up. chick fil a dared to voice an opinion counter to the lgbtp movement, so they are vilified. its about snuffing out free speech....

Am I the only one who finds the deep irony in that you two are disagreeing about people disagreeing? I'm sorry, I just wanted to point this out because it made me laugh. People can disagree about such matters. I couldn't give a floopy less (I saw Hasan saying "floopy" so many times I decided to try it out for myself). This is a big controversy about nothing. "Oh my goodness, an owner of a company has an opinion, and like all opinions some people agree and some people disagree! Let's bash them on Conan and not welcome them into our cities!". Who cares if he says he doesn't agree with homosexual marriage and gives money to specific charities? Starbucks funds abortion and supports same-sex marriage. Do I burn the city down over it? No, I just don't go there. Problem solved.
