All opinions were heard. I'm sure the choice of Mcdonald's, KFC and Taco Bell are sufficient (as disgusting as these chains are to me). Sure, Chik fil la can open nearby. No prob from me. I honestly don't get the outrage. I think you are misunderstanding how this all works. The students will still have plenty of high calorie, fatty, salty and low nutrition meals to chose from.
I'll let you in on a secret... The silent MAJORITY are waking up. This is what the 2016 election is all about. The MAJORITY of Americans actually voicing what they want. I'm not even a Trump fan and I can see whats going on. Look, Trump is barely religious yet he is winning the evangelical vote. He is a bully that is fighting against all the other bullies. So, maybe I am misunderstanding things? , or maybe you are?
Unfortunately, what you say is true. Opinions of gays, blacks, and other minorities are what counts now. I don't see that changing.
Are you saying they aren't American citizens? Why shouldn't their opinions count?

Funny picture. Maybe we should have asked Justice Scalia for his birth certificate.
This seems to be happening to some degree. If you look at Chick Fil-A and remember how many people went to eat there after the protests. There are large numbers of americans rising up. It is a continual struggle. The 2016 elections are all about choosing which way you want to go. Ironically, Trump is not the most religious candidate, but he is the one "evangelicals" are voting for.
Basically, the libs, gays, colleges, black leaders, etc. are all alligned with the democrats. They represent political correctness. Trump (and Cruz to a lesser extent) represent common sense. This election is not so much conservative vs liberal as it is political correctness vs common sense. Or, pro-American vs multi- culturalism. Or good vs evil. Religious vs athiests. majority vs minority. Givers/workers vs takers... You get my point.
I think our country is gone- at least what it used to be- unless we turn back to God. ...
Absolutely not. "Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.†And they marveled at him."

You can be political correct and us common sense. One does not negate the other. Whats more than likely is that you are defining politically correct as something you disagree with rather than something that is actually a political nicety.
Nor does being multicultural make you unamerican. I highly doubt the only place you have eaten your entire life was McDonalds, or that all of your friends are white and trace their ancestry back to England, and are all of one specific Christian denomination.
America itself is multiculture from its very beginning.

Oh hey look it's the right wing gay hate thread of the day.
It may seem that gays are vocal, but they are tired of discriminatory companies and religious extremists and in the case of the Chick Filet, a bigoted company has no business on a college campus.
Gays are not against the religious extremists, gays are trying to protect equal rightrs for EVERYONE and that means religious zealots don't get to kill us or push us to the back of the bus.

This is a typical Stalinist tactic.
The Left has no respect for democracy or individual rights. It only cares about "group rights" and making sure it gets what it wants by any means necessary.
That's what these kids are being taught in our schools, colleges and universities.

Do we remove the winner of an election from the ballot and hold another vote because some people didn't like the result?
I kind of wish we had done that with Obama after he won in 2012.
Have a second presidential election without his name on the ballot, and only Romney's name on the ballot.
It would have been fun to see the left react to that with impassioned defenses of majority vote. LOL

THEY are winning simply because they had the foresight to fight from within the very system they are determined to undermine.
WE are heading into a new dark age of ignorance under the guise (lie) of progressivism.
So true.
Progressivism, liberalism and leftism are all TOTALITARIAN in nature -- the very antithesis of what this country is supposed to be about, which is personal freedom and responsibility, individual rights, equal treatment before the law, uncensored speech, and equal representation.
I'm all for equality- just not preferential treatment.
