Judson Phillips at Tea Party Nation:
"...This is a battle about freedom. The left always screams that we must be tolerant of their beliefs but when is the left ever tolerant of someone who disagrees with them. The left has repeatedly tried to shut down conservatives from Rush, to Beck to Fox News and the list goes on.
Liberals, like Boston’s idiot in chief, do not want anyone to have a choice. They do not want anyone to disagree with them. Liberals would prefer to silence those who disagree with them. Liberals like Boston’s wannabe dictator would prefer a dictatorship where they can simply rule and if you disagree with them, they’ll put you in jail.
We must stand up for Chic fil A. I encourage everyone to stop by Chic fil A and have a meal there or at least get some of their great iced tea.
When you do, tell them you are a supporter of the Tea Party and you stand with Chic fil A and stand for freedom."
Just a reminder that Wednesdays are Eat More Chikin day!

Thanks for the reminder. today is Eat a Chick fil A Day, and I am out for some chicken and a thank you to the staff and management for standing up against the gay fascists.
These posts all make me wish for a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and waffle fries. I will surely be visiting there this week!
I supprot Chick Fil A and there food it good. I did eat there yesterday, but I don't know how long this boycott/buycott stuff can go on. Now the muppets company has come out against them, prattling on about "inconclusivity" like every other corporate drone jumping on the bandwagon. Chick Fil A didn't say they wouldn't serve gay people or even gay couples. There CEO just voiced his opinion on an issue, and for this the company is vilified. So much for that corporate attitude of thinking "outside the box".
Wait, I thought the tea party was about financial security for our country and unfair taxes.....Now is about being anti gay?
Nate:
Looks like the Tea Party is also about opposing fascist mayors who intend to deny the First Amendment rights of Americans.
Good one Rick, probably I shouldna have read the entire edited snippet of the article. I apologize.
I guess NOM's Corporate Fairness Director(Jonathon Baker), owes all of us an apology as well... Chick-A-Fil's letter asking them to stay neutral on Gay Marriage, must have got lost in the mail..
Yeah no. Dropped that place like a hot waffle fry.
Which reminds me, have you guys boycotted Kermit and Ms. Piggy yet?
(And...by proxy, Big Bird too? All of the non-humans on Sesame Street come from Henson's workshop).
Of course many on the left have to shut down opponents. Mayor Menino knows that if Chick-Fil-A was to move to Boston, people would apply to work there, and people would eat there. The mayor can't leave people with those choices, and feels the need to act.
I think this story is going to explode. Many are writing about it already; but I'm expecting to hear of it on O'Reilly soon.
A mayor planning to obstruct the establishment of a business and the creation of jobs in his city because the son of the company owner said that he supports traditional marriage, while the actual company is remaining neutral on the ssm issue? That's huge.
I think the mayor bit off more than he could chew with this one. And so have SSMers. Marriage supporters would be remiss to not use this to their advantage in the state battles.
Hmm. How's that suit against Chik fil A progressing, you know the one that's about its food being potentially carcinogenic? Bad enough it'll clog your arteries, but hey, if you want it, go for it. Eat there every day if you feel like you need to make a statement. Don't say you weren't warned about the health consequences posed by this "family friendly" fast food though.
Wednesday is Chick Fil A support day. My family and I will be eating at Chick Fil A. They do have healthy choices. Their salads are delicious as well as their grilled chicken breast sandwichs. I have posted this on FB for my friends to enjoy as well. Keep up the good work CF and NOM and stand for what is moral and right for our country.
Greg,
That made me laugh. The irony of "lets eat the worst thing for you to show the gays we hate them" makes my sides split.
Ill stick to Whole Foods and Central Market and cook my own food. Unlike most in the south, when I look down, I can still see my toes (along with other things)
Henson' is owned by ABC; which is owned by Disney.
Posters #9 and #11 are idiots when it comes to health and do not know what they are talking about. Look who is calling the kettle black.
The homosexuals lead the most unhealthy lifestyle there is. The medical dangers of this practice has overwhelming evidence. The AIDS epidemic is proof enough. Just look up Dangers of the Homosexual lifestyle on the internet. Go on Youtube and watch the video "Dangers of the Gay Lifestyle" and the link to the CDC website.
These posters at #9 and #11 are inept liars when talking about health when they choose to ignore the obvious dangers of homosexuality.
In MA there was this homosexual politician lecturing the obese people about their eating habits all the while he is out engaging in anal sex.
John, I think the said posters also must not be aware that all fast food is greasy, chemical-filled stuff that only functions as a guilty pleasure for the health-conscious. There's little nutrition from it, so Chick-fil-A really isn't that much worse than any other fast food restaurant.
John N., you make a very interesting and salient point. Yes, it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. What does it feel like to have a gay man lecture you on "bodily integrity," and the like? Sort of surreal, isn't it... that a person who can't form a sexual relationship with a biologically complementary person, and instead releases their "frustrations" on a same-sex person, now feels that s/he is in the position to lecture others on the proper care and use of the human body.
I don't want to smear all gay people. Some of them oppose that sort of lecturing and object to personal insults against fat people. Some gay people are fat themselves, and/or have bad eating habits. (I understand that there have actually been targeted interventions for obesity issues in the lesbian community.)
Honestly, I've noticed that most SSMers (on the ground level) who go to discussing a person's weight either: 1) literally don't have the brains for anything but personal insults; 2) are so angry at their opponents that they have to say what they believe to be the worst thing they can say to the person; and 3) feel judged by religious people, and see the "gluttony" line as an opportunity for payback.
But the politician you mentioned simply believes he is in the position to lecture people on health. You giving the example of his lecturing others, while HIV/AIDS and other diseases continue to plague the gay community, reminds me of a part of Ann Coulter's book, Godless:
"Liberals beatify health, no-smoking, camping, non-fossil fuel travel, organic foods--all while creating exotic new diseases in pursuit of polymorphous perversity."
The title is correct. Maintaining the exclusive opposite-sexed requirement for marriage is directly tied to our freedom, & indeed, the maintenance of our Constitution.
I find it amusing that multiple chick fil a locations have posted signs that they are no longer offering the muppet toys due to safety concerns. Way to stand by what you believe. Hahaha
Judson Phillips... Wasn't he the guy who thought that it was a good idea to exclude people without property from voting?
Muppets are no longer safe. We can expect they'll be used to promote family harming practices, such as SSM. So Chick FilA is correct in their decision.
I actually agree with you, Ash, that it is unfortunate when people are attacked on the basis of their physical appearance. It doesn't advance anyone's argument. That said, I can understand the frustration and anger behind such verbal attacks. I can't condone them, but I understand the impulse. When people feel oppressed, sometimes they lash out. It's not usually constructive in any way and while it may give the "zinger" a momentary sense of satisfaction, nine times out of ten, it will bite them back.
The TEA Party of Florida requests the honor of your presence, at YOUR LOCAL Chick-fil-A restaurant, on Weds. August First, 2012.

Greg that does not excuse such verbal attacks. Please clarify that you are not making excuses here.
