So hypocritical. Earlier in this thread you were bragging about how many "gay friends" you had on your FACEBOOK LIST (roflmao). You then challenged me to count how many "conservative Christian friends" I had on Facebook and when I countered with I see friends as friends and don't define them by their sexual orientation, race, or religious or social beliefs thus I don't stockpiled them into categories of "gay friends" or "conservative Christian friends" you accuse me of not having "conservative Christian friends." So it's ok for you define your alleged friends by their sexuality or religious beliefs but not others to define themselves?

Be the change you seek.

I think what really needs to stop is all the spewing of vitriol at one another from both sides. Why has this country dissolved into people yelling at each other from opposite sides of the fence on EVERY issue?
She's constantly calling anyone who disagrees with her the fascist radical left, which is funny considering themes of fascism is the "extreme right" on the left/right spectrum. And actual fascists hate liberalism and leftist views.


People have been yelling at each other from opposite sides of the fence on every issue since humans developed vocal chords.

I never called him a fascist, I don't know if he is or isn't. What I do know is that the radical far left wants to silence those of us that do not disagree with them on every issue. They want to convert us, and if that doesn't work, demean us and if that doesn't work, then destroy us. I believe that they would advocate violence if necessary to silence those of us that are "hateful bigots; that is fascism. To bury your head in the sand and not see what's going on in this country is naive at best.

Huh? What are you babbling about? The person used the term "Gay American", that is absurd to me. I never bragged about having gay friends, personally, I don't care to know anyones sexual preferences and don't know why it is relevant. I was asking you about your "tolerance" since you kept calling those of us who believe in traditional marriage names.

P.S. Wanna talk about a real hypocrite? If you or anyone one else here who calls us "hateful bigots" voted for Obama, then it is you guys who are the hypocrites, because up until a month ago, he had the exact same stance that we do. I know that Art voted for him, Obama is his god. So, it is you guys that are the real hypocrites.

Welcome to planet Earth.
How about I'm sick of hearing people bicker on this issue?

I feel the owner had a right to say whatever he wanted. I personally take issue with CFA as a company supporting groups that foster hate. One example is the group they funded that supported the Ugandan law to make homosexuality punishable by death. I'm not going to spend money to support those kinds of groups.

That being said I think elected officials have no right to block CFA from building franchises wherever they want if they follow applicable laws when they do so.

There, I stated my viewpoint without calling anyone an idiot, moron, or fascist. I also didn't threaten anyone with physical violence like I have seen happen on other forums when this subject was discussed.

That's my personal opinion and other people may have radically different opinions and I think that is fine. Eat there or don't eat there - either way our country has far more important issues that need to be addressed.

Yes you can. As I was writing, I knew that someone would say stereotype for me...I really don't think that is the case- Living in a large urban center that's what I see- I guess if you are from a small town - You might have a gay truck driver or two...and maybe a carpenter..? Here in the big city...our gays are top notch and they are stereo typical...And if they are not in the fancy positions, they are striving to have those positions.

A gay American is one who is gay and American. I'm certainly not a straight American. I'm a white American. I'm an American male. I'm an American gay male. I'm not a straight American male. I'm a white Anglo-Saxon former Protestant gay American male, also known as a white Anglo-Saxon former Protestant homosexual American male (who doesn't patronize Chick-fil-A).

Let me refresh your memory:

First off all, you bragged about the number of "openly gay friends" you have on Facebook. Who does that? Note you say on Facebook. Do you have any real life? Doubtful. The point is you defined them by their sexuality. I don't refer to my friends as my gay friend or black friend or Christian friend or atheist friend so it's absurd to me that you refer to friends the way you do. It's hypocritical to refer to people as your "gay friends" then blast someone for referring to themselves as a "gay American."


Quit with the straw man argument. I didn't vote for Obama but even if I did it's irrelevant. I don't care about Art or whoever else's voting record. That is entirely irrelevant. Don't deflect from your own hypocrisy.
