“we’re
inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and
say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. And I
pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant
attitude that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage is
all about.”
"We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition
of the family unit," ... “We are a family-owned business, a
family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God
thanks for that.”
“While my family and I believe in the
Biblical definition of marriage, we love and respect anyone who
disagrees,”.
Dan Cathy, President of Chick-fil-A
"The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to
treat every person with honor, dignity and respect -- regardless of
their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will
continue this tradition in the over 1,600 restaurants run by independent
owner/operators. Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy
debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena,"
Don Perry, the Chick-fil-A's vice president of
corporate public relations
"This solidifies Chick-fil-A as being closely
aligned with some of the most vicious anti-gay voices in the country,"
Carlos Maza, Equality Matters.
"Apparently, in the Cathy family’s mind, gay people don’t have families, no one divorces, and everyone must be Christian."
David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
“Chick Fil-A values are not Chicago’s values”.
Raum Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago
“anyone who eats S%#@ Fil-A deserves to get the cancer that is sure to
come from eating antibiotic filled tortured chickens 4Christ,”
“off to grab a s%#@ fil-A sandwich on my way to
worshipping Christ, supporting Aipac and war in Iran.”
Roseanne Barr, Comedienne?
"Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in Boston. You can't have a business in the
city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We're an open
city, we're a city that's at the forefront of inclusion,"
Thomas Menino, Mayor of Boston
"We're in America where everybody has the right to say 'You know what? I
don't believe in this' and you have the right not to come. It's like
watching television. You don't like reality tv shows? Don't turn them
on. You don't like what they're doing? Don't go. But do not step on
their right, amybody's right, to have an opinion. This is STILL
America. We still have the right..."
Whoopi Goldberg, Actress, Comedienne, and Talk Show Host
I've never said this before, but I am in complete agreement with Whoopi. If you like Dan Cathy's stand on marriage, or if you like Chick-Fil-A's product, you should support the company. If you dislike either, you have the right to stay away.
It is funny the "tolerant Left" has reacted this way. finding Dan Cathy guilty of Thoughtcrime as defined in George Orwell's 1984. Not that majority should rule in the area of Civil Rights, but 26 states have put the definition of marriage on their ballots and 26 times the Biblical definition has won. Both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have publicly stated the same position, although they later flip flopped.
Mike Huckabee has called on those who will support Dan Cathy to show that support on Wednesday, August 1st by making it the highest volume day in Chick-fil-A's history. I'm in.
Funny how the government leaders of these cities are reacting in a discriminatory way to one person's thoughts/beliefs. I don't recall Chick-fil-a ever saying they wouldn't serve these folks. Government is practicing discrimination, not Chick-fil-a.
ReplyDeleteYou know it's crazy when the ACLU is supporting them for the freedom of speech.
It is rare when we agree with the ACLU and Whoopi Goldberg. One thing I have noticed about Whoopi is that she is a consistent liberal. I can at least listen to her.
