    You mean specifically opposing their want for same sex marriage. Not opposing them in general, despite how much you're tempted to assume that.

    Well, you can believe my opinion is incorrect, but it is nonetheless my considered view. Many supporters of traditional marriage oppose legislation or constitutional guarantees of marriage rights for same-sex couples. I think their opposition amounts to opposing LGBTQ folks.
    I don't care if the marriages are "the same" or "different."
    "We" being whom?
    Huh? I support same-sex marriage. Like you, I challenge the idea same-sex marriage isn't legit.
    Ask who what? How can I be telling you what you think when I don't know who you are?
    Okay.

    Politicians can't pander to everyone not everyone agrees. I could only think of one politician in the US that I agree with more than I disagree with. He is not popular.

    I don't think so. They're in Canada, too. No loyalty to Uncle Sam in Canada.

    I don't much care for breaded, greasy food. (Yeah, I know--Chick-fil-A has a few healthy choices.)

    What is stupid is your idea that there is no connection to where you eat vs where the profits go from the company where you're eating at.

    No, it is not about the money, it is all about Democrats being against

    Chick-fil-A's "Corporate Purpose" is: "To glorify God by being a faithful steward to all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."

    Used to like KFC but find the chicken not to my liking anymore. Don’t know if I changed or KFC did.

    Amazon owns IMDB.com. Back in the day, they had a public forum for people to talk about movies and tv shows, etc. All of the Christian people would work in groups and rate ALL movies about God/god/Jesus with 10 stars. None of it was based on direction, writing, acting, cinematography, etc.. It was based SOLELY on it having anything to do with faith in the Christian God and/or Jesus.

    That's the kind of feel I get from all the rave reviews about Chic-Fil-A. Yes, it's an alternative to McD, BK and Wendy's but it's NOT spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I've made better in my own kitchen.

    Chick-fil-A does not bash gays, and never did. Don't forget that opposition to gay marriage was very mainstream not long ago (viz. Barack Obama). It is worth noting that their record for hiring diversity and opportunities for developmentally challenged people is exemplary.

    I became a bison fan a few years ago. Bison tacos and burgers. Jerk chicken thighs are okay.

    They do go to church indeed. And this is what they' are taught there. Look at all the excited faces, and listen to the applause:

    Bison and game like deer should be better for you. Don’t know about bison burgers though if they add fat.
