Chick-fil-A Versus the Loonie Left

Chick-fil-A Versus the Loonie Left

What is it about free speech that the Left doesn’t get?



Do they have a problem about our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech because they take issue with those fundamental freedoms or do they only have selective objections to what people say and believe?



They certainly have no problem with fellow Leftists such as those in the Occupy movement spouting anti-Semitic, anti-capitalism, anti-Americanism, anti-civilized society sentiments but when it comes to expressions of Christian conservative beliefs in normality they always seem to get their panties in a wad.



The latest target of Leftist venom is Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy, son of the fast-chicken-food company’s founder, S. Truett Cathy.



The Leftist homosexual lobby is incensed with Cathy due to his “support of the traditional family” and his disagreement with President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent “evolution” on same-sex marriage.



Cathy merely gave his opinion that, ”We are very much supportive of the family–the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. . . we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”



Good grief! In a single sentence, Cathy invoked God, the Lord, and the Bible, all terms anathema to the Left!



Well, Mr. Cathy, you can share your values and operate on all the biblical principles you want but when those Leftist panties get wadded, watch out! The purveyors of negativism lose what remains of their minds!



For example, former Obama Chief of Staff and current Chicago mayor Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel presides over a city where murder is a favorite outdoor and indoor sport and unemployment is rampant. Yet he felt compelled to inveigh against Chick-fil-A’s plans to build two more stores in Chicago because of Dan Cathy’s pro-family remarks.



As the Windy City’s first Jewish mayor ranted, “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our neighbors and our family members . . . What the CEO has said as it relates to gay marriage and gay couples is not what I believe, but more importantly, it’s not what the people of Chicago believe. . . who we are as a city.” (http://tinyurl.com/d5te5dz)



Chicago is pretty far gone but to my knowledge Chicagoans haven’t passed a referendum confirming what they believe or whether they prefer political correctness over a delicious spicy chicken sandwich deluxe.



Much like another Jewish mayor, New York City’s Mike Bloomberg, who dictates how many ounces of soda and how much sodium and how mny trans-fats New Yorkers can consume, Emanuel wants to mandate how much Chick-fil-A chicken is consumed, if any.



Apparently, Emanuel thinks murder, unemployment, and black racist Louis Farrakhan are more in line with what Chicagoans want since he has done nothing to stem the 40% surge in homicides or create jobs and has welcomed Farrakhan to his fair city to help keep the peace.



Boston’s Democrat Mayor Thomas Mannino also attacked Cathy in a letter last week (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27284.)

Baptists Versus Homosexuals

Baptists Versus Homosexuals

 President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent, election year, reversal of his long-standing attitudes on marriage, his “evolution,” has once again raised a religious issue which has resulted in even Baptists weighing in on whether men should be legally entitled to marry men and women marry women.




I’m not an adherent of the 400 year old Baptist faith but over a hundred million other people are worldwide with 33 million residing in the United States of which half are members of the Southern Baptist Convention.



With such formidable numbers, differences of opinion are expected.



However, on one particular issue, homosexuality, Baptists used to be virtually unanimous in agreement. The vast majority unapologetically believed homosexuality is a choice, that gays recruit heterosexuals, that homosexual behavior is intrinsically evil and disordered, and that same-sex marriage is a destructive abomination.



With that admittedly cursory summation of Baptist beliefs on the subject as background, two Southern Baptist leaders recently spoke out with vastly different perspectives.



Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, while supporting biblical injunctions against homosexuality, nevertheless thinks Christians are guilty of “our own form of homophobia.”



On the other hand, Pastor Charles L. Worley of the Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, N.C., thinks homosexuals should be confined within an electrified fence to insure they couldn’t reproduce.



Aside from the apparent inconsistencies in Dr. Mohler’s position that the Bible is right yet being wary of gays is wrong and Pastor Worley’s obviously illegal, drastic measure of sequestering gays in prisons, their radical differences demand clarification. . .

Obama's Phony Evolution

Obama's Phony Evolution

Now that President Barack Hussein Obama has emerged from his political closet and announced he has resolved his long-standing confusion, indecision, and lack of surety regarding the morality–and practicality–of same-sex marriages, his motivations should be examined.




Republican low-lifes will no doubt attribute the president’s sudden, radical flipflop as concrete evidence that he has no core values and he “evolved” only because he needs both gay money to supplement his campaign coffers and gay votes to supplement the ballot box in November.



They will say he has long favored men marrying men, women marrying women, and undermining the religious institution of marriage and was being coy about it all until he had “more flexibility” in his second term.



They will say Vice President Joe Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan shamed Obama into his alleged epiphany by indicating they would be “comfortable” with gay marriage.



They will say North Carolinianians forced his hand when they voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to join 38 other states in opposing same-sex marriages and civil unions.



They will say that since Obama’s Democrats have already repealed the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy and his DoJ secretary announced his administration would not defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court, the president would logically have to endorse homosexual marriage.



And they would be absolutely wrong. . .
