apparently one crackpot blogger has come out blaming obama for the fact that chick-fil-a's pr man had a heart attack. ironic, since obama's campaign team is on record as having eaten at at least one of their outlets.

i personally don't know why anyone would try to use government against these people. nor would i eat a poisonburger just to show i like someone's social views!

they are mayors - and mayors sometimes like to think they are kings. chicago's mayors have historically acted like kings, emmanuel is little different in that respect! he is not working for the white house anymore.

Only since the worst president in US history bagan infesting the White House and his butt sucking Socialist pals think they can get away with violating the First Amendment Rights of citizens.

Even before that, O'Bomber refused to have the Defense of Marriage Act...passed by Congress and signed into law enforced.

That makes O'Bomber an oath breaker on yet another issue. "I will faithfully execute the laws of the United States."

This is not a winning issue for O'Bomber and demoscats. In every state where gay marriage was put on the ballot for a vote by the peeps...IT WAS DEFEATED...even in screw-loose California.

It's long past time for citizens to start suing public officials who violate their Constitutional Rights for monetary damages. Make it hurt. Bankrupt them in civil court actions and if public officials act under "Color of Law" to oppress citizens, then file criminal charges for "Official Oppression" against them and let a jury decide whether they get to continue to walk around free.

Dear [my friend],

It's going to be huge. Perhaps the busiest day in Chick-fil-A history.

If you haven't done so already, find a local Chick-fil-A restaurant so you can get out there today and participate in this historic event!

Today's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" has become a national sensation since Governor Mike Huckabee began the grassroots campaign on his radio program two weeks ago. The efforts of politicians to intimidate Chick-fil-A restaurants in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, DC have only provoked more of a response from the people, with now more than half-a-million Americans pledging to pay their thanks to the Cathys today (in exchange for some great food)!

As the Rev. Billy Graham said last week: "I want to express my support for my good friends Truett Cathy and his son Dan Cathy, and for their strong stand for the Christian faith. . . . As the son of a dairy farmer who milked many a cow, I plan to 'Eat Mor Chikin' and show my support by visiting Chick-fil-A next Wednesday."

Join Rev. Billy Graham, Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty, Bob McDonnell and millions of your fellow Americans in supporting the Cathy family today!

As I told Governor Mike Huckabee on his radio show last week, we are thrilled to help spread the word about this terrific event. But there are two more things I am asking you to do:

• The media will probably ignore today's event—so help us by being our team of reporters across the nation. Send your pictures and stories to NOMCF@nationformarriage.org and we'll get the word out.

  
  

• Visit www.ThankChickfilA.com to send a note of thanks to the Cathy family for their courage in standing for the true meaning of marriage, for religious freedom and free speech.

Get out there and show your support today, and make sure the Cathys know how much you honor their heroism—while at the same time making clear to the gay marriage bullies that those who believe in God's truth about marriage are strong and united.

Faithfully,

and his reason, that the federal government has no business legislating on people's personal affairs like this. how does it affect YOUR marriage if gay people have EQUAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW?

i would have thought the SMALL GOVT people would agree that marriage is NOT a government issue. it is a personal one.

(and let's not forget that the House has been doing it's level best to prevent enactment of most of the other laws recently passed in both houses)

i also consider it supremely hypocritical of jwhop to rale about "not upholding the law" when all he wants is to see the HEALTHCARE REFORM LAW repealed...even though it has been passed by ALL THREE BRANCHES of the government.[/B]

Gay marriage effects every single person in society as it will destroy the fabric of society. I have not one thing against a gay person. I have a friend who is gay and I FORGET he is gay until he reminds me. He is himself. I don't care about gay/straight, race or religion. I see people, one person at a time.

having said that, the foundation of a stable society is the nuclear family. This must be preserved. Perhaps, there could be a form of domestic partnership, but not marriage.

gay marriages are nuclear families. where does that leave your silly little argument? i know THREE gay families with kids who are doing a better job of raising them than many hetero couples i know.

one of those couples actually managed to get married in the period before prop 8 was passed in california. the others are forced to live in "civil unions" that deny them many of the rights reserved for spouses.

the anti-gay-marriage movement wants to DENY nuclear marriage to gays and therefore increase the likelihood that they will suffer, and the REST OF US ALONG WITH THEM.

like many prejudiced people, you can point to an individual from a group you discriminate against as EVIDENCE that you are NOT prejudiced. "some of my best friends are black/gay/martian"...this is so classic a form of denial i wonder you don't see it even in yourself?

Another ususal suspect gets it wrong. The House is not trying to prevent MOST of the legislation passed by both houses from being enacted. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

The Republican controlled House is on the side of the people of the United States attempting to prevent O'BomberCare from being implemented and in fact, moving to repeal the entire pile of horsecrap.

It's the US Senate...led by demoscats..who else, which is bottling up all the legislation..passed by the House...which would put Americans back to work, cut federal spending to sane levels, balance the US budget and put a cap on federal spending.

On each of those issues, the majority of voters in America are with Conservative Republicans and not with Socialist demoscats. These are the issues on the front burners for most voters.

Which is the reason demoscats are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to change the subject. It's not working!

Oh and wait until you see the polls on Marxists attempting to prevent businesses from opening locations in cities led by Socialist mayors who disagree with their religious beliefs. Just stand by and wait for it.

Btw, many US states (including some of the most antigay ones) allow first cousins to not only marry but to have children. If that doesn't destroy the fabric of society then I don't know what will.

And for Bible thumpers, the only reason allowable for divorce (according to Jesus himself) is if the woman cheats. The Christian god doesn't recognize any other divorce as valid and any who have sex outside of the marriage that still exists in God's eyes (including to a new spouse in the eyes of society) is an adulterer living in sin, just as guilty as loving someone of the same gender. But there are few Christians against gay marriage who want to shove that piece of the Bible down our throats. I wonder why (and where does CFA stand on this issue)?

ETA: I don't care if people don't approve of homosexuality and if he simply stated his opinion I would shrug it off. However, trying to harm innocent people because you don't like them is another matter entirely. CFA won't be getting any of my money if they're gonna use it to harm innocents, and it's a shame and disgrace that others can be so callous--and yet think themselves morally superior for violating the Golden Rule so badly.

no ami, gay marriage will only take stigma away from gays and their kids, it won't hurt "straight" folk one iota.

as i said near the top of the page, i don't think any government has the right to ban licenses on this issue, but friday apparently gays will be visiting chik fil a's around the country to exercise THEIR freedom of association and expression...i wonder what the reaction will be from mr chik fil a??

it actually seems to me that the radio folk who made a major meal of this should also get a royalty check from the company for all the extra business, and that a mountain has been created out of a molehill by the despotic mayors and the christian right together.

my only problem with mr chik fil a is that he is being called a martyr..for giving money to a group practicing hatred and trying to deny equal rights to some perfectly HUMAN citizens.
