Yep, another Chick-fil-A post, fueled by an
article I read this morning. Some people
should read their own words. A
Mississippi Republican Rep., Alan
Nunnelee, sent a letter to Dan Cathy to “show support for the manner in which
you have defended your values and reputation in the face of unfair and
malicious criticism”. H’m. "unfair" - that’s funny right there. He opens his mouth further and states “The criticism they have received has been
appalling, elected officials that are now threatening to block new Chick-fil-A
restaurants in their cities are acting in a manner that is un-American.” Excuse me?... "un-American"... think
about that please.
Okay, let me say that of course everyone is
entitled to their opinion, no matter how ignorant or hateful it is, but that is
NOT what the Chick-fil-A controversy is about.
If that were the case, then people would starve, be unclothed, not own
vehicles, etc., for protesting people’s opinions – on both sides. Dan Cathy and all the others like him who
deny people THEIR natural born rights, in my opinion, are racist and teaching
their children to hate. And that is just
sad.
Did you know that Dan Cathy and his company
promote hate AND pays for it to continue?
Why on earth would it be “un-American”
to not want a hate promoting company in your city? Is that not “un-American” in
itself? Here’s a quote from Wayne Self’s article post regarding
the punishable crimes (yes, punishable!) just for being gay, let alone same sex
marriage:
“Two organizations that work
very hard to maintain this status quo and roll back any protections that we may
have are the Family Research Council and the Marriage & Family Foundation.
For example, the Family Research council leadership has officially stated that
same-gender-loving behavior should be criminalized in this country. They draw
their pay, in part, from the donations of companies like Chick-Fil-A. Both
groups have also done “missionary” work abroad that served to strengthen and
promote criminalization of same-sex relations. - Chick-Fil-A has given roughly
$5M to these organizations to support their work. - Chick-Fil-A’s money comes
from the profits they make when you purchase their products.”
This saddens and angers me. No matter how hard I practice.
People, this is not a "biblical" debate. We're talking about Human Rights. Rights that were given to each and every one of us the moment we were conceived and born into this life. NOBODY has the right to take that away. This simply needs to stop.
On the flip side of this, I hope everyone who dines at Chick-fil-hate enjoys their cola drinks. Coke products are the only beverages served. Coca Cola supports Human Rights.
Peace,
Rocki
