Truett Cathy is a bigot
 

Just one more conservative in a long line of openly bigoted rich white men. When will it end. You will not see me buying their product.

At least he has the nerve to say he is a bigot openly. I do respect that about him.

I still like Chick Fil A. Chick-fil-A

They have a rather short-sighted and stupid CEO.

The Gay Agenda To Brain Wash America Continues
 

As I recall the story of Chick-fil-a CEO is that he is very religious, stated he supports taditional family values and its definition of marriage. So the Gay Nation went berserk a common response when other organizations didn't agree with the gay agenda attempting to boycott them defame them calling them bigots....all the usual Alinsky tactics. CEO Cathy so committed to his beliefs that he is willing to lose profits by closing his business on Sundays.

The Gay nation and their left leaning liberal supporters demonstrate just how upside down they are trying to make this world.

Why aren't the people offended by Mr Cathy's beliefs as offended by public schools brainwashing little children into believing that homosexuality is normal?
Don't bother, its a rhretorical question we know why.

Who is this Alinsky fellow? Seems so popular with the conservatives. :icon_wink:

It is the right of the Chik-Fil-A CEO to state his beliefs about gay marriage publically or privately. He should have thought it through a bit more as he should have known it would cause protests from some groups - which is their Constitutional right, also.

Basically, I do not care one way or the other about what he said or what protests are held pro or con the issue at Chik-Fil-A. I have never eaten one of their sandwiches just by choice and not by protest.

The liberals these days are really loosing their minds. Can't even hold basic Christian beliefs anymore without being totally character assassinated. If you don't believe exactly how they believe... or how they think you should believe, you are a bigot or rassist and they will do everything they can to shut you down. Precisely why liberalism should be defeated wherever it rears it's ugly head.

Ever heard of Ben and Jerry? They are the antithesis of just aboyt everything I believe. But I do love their ice cream!

Bigot - "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices"

Aren't you golfingnut also the exact definition of a bigot?

HiDaleMn: I think that Alinsky fella is one of dum der hitmen for the left leaning liberal mob. I think he goes by the nickname Saul the Maul?
You know how dum der gangsters all got nick names.

Now don't hold that fish line too tight walleye don't cotton to that

Good for you. This is the correct response in my opinion.

The CEO has a right to express his first amendment rights to speak and to honor his religious beliefs, even if it might be a stupid thing to do just for his business interests.

I think attacking this man and calling him a bigot is actually a form of religious bigotry. He didn't say he hates gays; he said the bible doesn't permit gay marriage and he is a believer in that edict of his religion.

You can boycott his business if you like, but for governmental agencies to harm his business is wrong.

Personally I think they put out a fine product that is always tasty, and their waffle fries are awesome. I don't eat there often, but that's because I have so many better choices here in TV.

My wife and I went to Chick-fil-A Saturday. We had a pretty good sandwich. We went there because we were hungry. However on August 1 we will go to support them.

I don't remember who the clown was called him a bigot but that sounds like a standard liberal progressive insult to anyone who does not believe the way that they think they should. It does not mean that the liberal progressive thinks that he is right just that... oh hell hpw do you explain or try to have an intelligent conversation with these clowns. The man is in business. If he makes a good product I will by it. I personally do not care if he is an atheist which I consider really stupid or a Jew or a Christian or a Buddhist or a Taoist. As long as he makes good food and washes his hands after going to the bathroom I'm happy with that. I hope the fact that he is a Christian, remembers the Sabbath and makes a profit drives you liberals nuts.

Just ranting

uff da!

Bigot is the wrong word
 

It is his business and he can have it open or closed on sundays, he can offer only Kosher food or not, he can feed biblical values to his employees who are free to stay or leave. And he can take the profits of his business and do with the money what he wishes. But when he says that he wants to impose his religion on this country and he gives millions to organizations which exist in large part to attempt to deny gay persons the right to marry in civil (not religious) ceremonies then he becomes a fair target for economic boycott as were the owners of lunch counters in the 60's who refused to serve Blacks, when it was still legal to do so. I am sorry to so often hear those on the right scream about Sharia law and the need to keep Islamic rules from over taking the American law, but seem to not see how the attempt to impose a particular version of their own faith on all of us is just the same problem using a different hammer.
Does anyone seriously believe that Catholics should be able to outlaw divorce and birth control, that Jews should be able to stop the sale of bacon, that traditional Mormans should be able to make us all polygamists, or that fundamentalists should be able to tell us who can marry whom based on their interpretation of a line in their 3000 year old book? It was those same fundimentalists who made the laws that made it illegal for a white person to marry a black person, based on that same 3000 year old book. To me these are all the same imposition of a religious rule on a nation where we don't all share the same belief system.

sounds to me what many prefer these days is...you can have an opinion or belief....as long as it fits a specific minority group's populist wanna have everybody believe.

I don't have a problem with sexual persuasion or religion or political party...just don't try to change my beliefs and values. I give anyone who is unafraid of the many minority groups that demand equality with time honored core values that many of us grew up with. And I do believe one is duly entitled to espousing their belief and values without the usual ranting and name calling of the self professed offended.

I support 100% the dwindeling number of Americans who still have the courage of their convictions and are willing to stand and be counted.
Give me right or wrong or yes or no and do away with all the other standards that water these values down.

Why would any merchant want to alienate a segment of the population in these trying times?

What else would you expect from the Rebel Flag. :1rotfl:

i find it very disappointing that the gay nation cannot respect the religious beliefs on ONE man! the gay nation claims to want tolerance - yet they condemn a man for his traditional family values - what's with that? now the people who support AND practice family values and traditions are bigots? well, count me in then if that's the definition! was this country NOT founded on the principle of religious freedom?

when obama claimed he meant to say that no entreprenuer built his business without the help of others, i bet he had no idea that only a few days later the world would find a bunch of folks who are now PREVENTING business people from building their businesses!

why you hate white people?

a very small segment of the population at that

they will have a busy aug 1st

I don't. I love everyone except bigots of which most are rich white men.

And also people who have bigoted views of religious people.

Who fits that definition?

And do you include Michelle Bachman in that group that supports the principles of religious freedom and her trashing of Hillary Clinton's deputy, Huma Abedin?

But does golfingnut?

LOL :1rotfl: The Stars and Bars is the symbol of American Racism. So congratulations for being so open.

If you reread your post you may come to realize/ recognize that you have made the argument for the other side.....just saying

Just shows how hypocritical they are. I like lynyrd skynyrd so now I'm a racist. I'm a Christian and now I'm a bigot. Goofingnut's tolerance for other views is a true testament to the left.

you mean the republicans who questioned the aide's family ties to the muslim brotherhood and NOT her religious beliefs/practices? the republicans who sent a letter to homeland security, justice, defense and dir. of intelligence - and NOT to anyone of a religious responsibility? i don't believe the issue was religion, but rather was about homeland security. the aide is the wife of andrew weiner - correct? - who wants us to believe that they are a normal family? if that's normal - sheesh!

Would someone please explain, in consideration of the First Amendment, why a business owner should be denied a business license by a government agency like the City of Boston, because of stating his religious values or beliefs????

It seems to me that the "bigotry" is coming from those who work to deny a person a license to do business in a city because of his religious beliefs and statements!


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Um... you're quoting the Constatution. Psssst, a few here don't really subscribe to such a radicle document. You see, it limits the power of government. Lefties dont like that.

Did it ever occur to any of these republicans, who questioned the aide's family ties, that to have the job Ms Abedin has, she has to have top secret clearance? Do these republicans who questioned the aide's family ties think that Secretary Clinton is a political novice and would hire someone for this sensitive position who wasn't fully investigated? And what about Ms Abedin's marriage do republicans find so amusing? It sounds to me that her religious beliefs/practices are being questioned.

Could it have something to do with Chick-fil-a's discriminatory practices? You didn't quote the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

and who approved her top secret clearance - the current administration? did secretary clinton hire her or was she assigned to the secretary? doubt anyone can find anything amusing about her marriage - except that she is still married to a guy who was caught sexting. it has to be quite the stretch to consider any of that a questioning of religious beliefs/practices in my book!

What practices would that be?

what discriminatory parcticeS?

They do not refuse to serve gay patrons, and they do not refuse to hire gay people. There is no need to refer to the civil rights laws.

The owner does have a right to express his beliefs without being punished or penalized by a governmental agency because of those beliefs. This violates our citizens' First Amendment rights.

"Consumers can disagree with a company's corporate political position and decide not to spend money there," Socarides said. "But the city cannot regulate speech by denying someone a permit to operate their business just because you disagree with their political beliefs."

These people just throw out such arbitrary nonsense it's a wonder they have anything in common with reality or truth at all. I think they just make it up as they go.

Ms. Abedin received top level clearances while she served, then Senator Clinton. So she would have actually received these clearances during the Bush Administration.
She actually started working, as an intern, for Secretary Clinton during her years as First Lady.

Like the man said, ya just can't make this suff up:

stars and bars flag of bigotry - Google Search

I have to take a short trip, so I will clear up something here before I go:

YES if you have anything to do with the stars and bars, you are most likely not annoyed by racism.

If you try to force your view of what religion should be, you are most likely close to being extreme.

If you say you are not, I accept that with reservation.

But most importantly if you feel you are ALWAYS RIGHT, you need to take a closer look, as none of us are perfect and until you admit that to yourself you are just treading water. Pretending to be righteous or NOT being a bigot/racist will not open the gates for you. I am just trying to help.

See ya in a few days and miss ya already.
Love to all
Golfingnut

thanx for the clarification...if the bush administration did, indeed, approve the security clearance - that doesn't give me a whole lot of reassurance either - if ya know what i mean! ;)

I've been pointedly ignoring you for an extended period and only break that now temporarily to point out to others your "head in the sand" views on Ms. Huma Abedin. You are completely out of touch on the issues regarding this woman, regarding her position and her security access.

There is plenty to be concerned about coupled with all the evidence of ties between the Muslim Brotherhood and Ms. Huma Abedin.

Everyone who's paying attention already knows that Ms. Aberdin's mother, brother and late father are/were connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.

But with more investigation it turns out that Ms. Aberdin herself is directly connected to a Abdullah Omar Naseef who is a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. Ms. Abedin worked for years as an editor of the journal of the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs.That Institute was founded by the aforementioned Abdullah Omar Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Ms.Abedin.

Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, reportedly the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that position, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda.

A person need not have done any wrongdoing to be denied high ranking government positions, or most importantly be denied security clearances that would allow access to classified info. There only needs to be a conflict of interest based on associations, allegiances or association with foreign interests.

The simple probing of the extensive and disturbing ties to the Muslim Brotherhood of Ms. Abedin’s family should have been sufficient to declare Ms. Abedin ineligible for any significant government position, let alone her own personal and longstanding connection to Abdullah Omar Naseef’s organization.

All in all Rep. Michelle Bachmann is to be commended for shining the light on this woman, and Sen. John McCain should be hanging his head in shame.
