And you I suppose aren't caught up in the toxic nonsense of attempting to destroy a man's ability to practice his freedom of speech and ability to earn a living because of your intolerance of his opposing point of view?

To be fair, I didn't see the anti Chick Fil A crowd doing that either.

But, now that you mention it, that could be a good game plan,
instead of a kiss in front of a Chick Fil A.

You know, "rise above it all" does have merit....

So you're saying we're intollerant of those who are itollerant?

OK then...here's your answer:

Because Christians have the SAME RIGHTS as you do to protest or make a statement...it's called freedom of expression.

You don't AGREE with their right to do the same thing as you do.

That's actually called hypocrisy.

Noah Michelson: Chick-fil-A: This Is Not a First Amendment Issue[]&utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false
To reiterate, it became a First Amendment issue when cities such as Boston and Chicago openly talked about banning Chick-Fil-A from their cities because of what Cathy said, speech which is protected by the First Amendment.

The author of the link you posted is gay and on a freedom fighter trip, that's fine, no problem. He doesn't have to address the First Amendment issue, he can talk about whatever he wants. But he has not shown there isn't a First Amendment issue (he's simply ignored it).

The people only began flocking to Chick-Fil-A once the cities foolishly spoke out with words that flew directly in the face of the First Amendment. So I think it is not only an issue, but the main issue.

1) Tolerance doesn't include the tolerance of intolerance of others.

2) Sadly this happens on both sides... or have you not seen the video of t-partiers attending local congressional meetings?

3) Free speech? Nonviolent Protest--- Y'know, those pesky rights...

Again, how do you know the make up of these people?
I hate liberal politics because it is defective and tax sucking, but it doesn't stop me from patronizing Ben & Jerry's ice cream or Apple's Ipad.

People in that line were probably FAR MORE OFFENDED by gays not allowing others to have their right to their opinion and then attempting to sabotage the business instead of this being religious?

Where were all the freaking gays at the White House the last three years when Obama said he was for man woman marriage only? If it wasn't for the fact he wanted tons of gay money in his campaign he would never have so-called evolved.
Why weren't gays active with Obama or other liberals who are not pro gay marriage? There you have your hypocrites IMO.

So then why are conservative christians so obsessed with banning gay marriage? How is that Christian like?

By the way the mayor of Boston isn't gay.

How is yesterday's practice event at Chick Fil A Christian like? Looks like everyday is Chick Fil A appreciation day for Gov. Huckabee. So much for worshiping the temple.
