I remember eating at Chik-Fil-A a time or two when I was livin in the South. Honestly, the crowd they're catering to probably supports what they're doing a 110 percent. I don't, but then again, there's a reason I moved out of that sh*tstained part of the Union.

Bigots always justify there bigotry. I am not the best defender of Catholicism since recently I have started going to mass with a group that handles serpents (snakes).

It sickens me that in 2012 there are still so many people that will argue it is there 'right' to attempt to undermine the basic human rights of another group of Americans.

Yet, when other Americans say that we shouldn't stand for that type of attack, suddenly it is the homophobes rights that are being threatened? Ridiculous.
Hehehe, on the idea that the way to get people to see your point of view is to call them names.

Here's an insightful and poignant documentary on the matter:


Louis CK learns about the Catholic Church - YouTube
It's kind of funny - and telling - that you consider something by Louis CK a DOCUMENTARY.

No wonder you crazy leftists are so weird.


By the way, Catholics overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Welcome to the club!

What Chick Fil A is doing by giving 2 million dollars to to this 'charity' is no different than if they donated 2 million to the KKK, and claimed it was because they like white robes. Chick Fil A knows full well what this organization stands for, and in supporting it with this size of a donation, Chick Fil A is making it very clear what they think of basic human rights in this Country.

These people can try to spin it anyway that they like. It doesn't change what it really is. Just disgusting, homophobic, Nazi horsesh*t.

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.”
― Sinclair Lewis
Oh BooHooHoo, ya crazy lunatic.

The supposed "hate group" that the owner of Chick-Fil-A is donating millions to simply isn't a hate group. And that is a perfect example of what is wrong with your thinking - or, more precisely, the LACK of thinking.

You honestly seem to think that anybody who doesn't agree with you is persecuting you. And you honestly seem to think that anybody who doesn't support your agenda is a homophobe, and any group that doesn't support your agenda is a hate-group.

Your angry vitriol, and hateful rhetoric is nothing less than that of a crazy Muslim extremist cleric.

Then you're honestly perplexed by the fact that people just straight-up laugh at you.

I don't even have one around here. If I did, knowing what I know now, I would likely to choose another fast food place. I seriously doubt that the loss of my business is going to hurt them but it's important to ME that I don't support companies that support bigotry and hate.

And where was your outrage in all the threads about J.C. Penney and all the hatred spewed towards THEM by the bigoted conservatives who swear they will never set foot in their stores ever again and how they get all wound up and try to get others equally wound up and brag and crow about how they will break that company because of who they dare to have as their spokesperson?

You're practically sputtering and spitting here in your outrage because some of us have expressed that we will not patronize or support business that support bigotry and hatred. Seriously, you might want to check your blood pressure.
My blood pressure is fine.
Where was I? at JC Penny's buying stuff.

It must be really hard work for all these pro-gay and anti-gay people to figure out who to hate, and who to boycott. There's always some drama, some crisis.

I prefer to just do my thing & let them do whatever they've got to do to keep themselves all up in a lather.
