Chick-Fil-a Shows "Hate" With Kindness,Free Food,Drink for Gay Protestors

Well, I am glad to see you NOW do not oppose a 95% FAIR TAX tax on income over $100,000!

After all, EVERYONE would be subject to that law EQUALLY on ANY money they made over $100,000!

We can call it the "Grokmaster Fair Tax!"

 

Care to try to make some sense of your silly post?

Apparently driven delirious by the GLARINGLY OVERWHELMING DISPLAY OF NATIONAL SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES....just couldn't deal with...poor thing...

 

Interesting!

Since CFA has now supported and encouraged public gay behaviors, I think CFA is going to need to oppose ITSELF!

 

OK..........

 

I would simply have had the entire chain CLOSED that day! Sorry, no "kiss-in", better luck next time.

 

How, by making them work the day they made record sales?

 

Great point! Gold medal statement. It's just homosexual McCarthyism.

 

They did this in our area too. They handed out sandwiches and drinks to the protesters. Those bigoted bastards!

 

Kindness, compassion, and civility leaves exactly the impression that is necessary for creating effective cultural changes. At the risk of sounding like a "progressive puppet" it is when we as Christians model ourselves as Christ instructed that we are able to create change, not when we act hurtful, cruel and dismissive. That is when we lose the moral high ground, as well as, shame Jesus Christ.

 

The majority of people I see acting hateful and immature are ungodly leftists. I rarely see anything compassionate coming out of that group. They are intolerant of anyone that does not agree with them and they launch aggressive and profane attacks to pressure. Christians have been being compassionate for a very long time. We feed the world, set up hospitals, schools, shelters, orphanages and more. NO OTHER religion or group has done so much, ever. I would give the shirt off my back to anyone that needed it. I have a huge heart and have put my money to good causes all my life. BUT enough is enough. Being compassionate is very different than excusing inappropriate behavior and giving into to a bully.

Let's not forget that Jesus was a man of boundaries. Compassion, with correct boundaries is the right thing. Enabling tyrants is NOT being Christian.

 

In other words:

"Hey guys... forget about the millions we donate to companies that lobby Washington to ensure you remain lesser beings... because here's some free sandwiches!!"

Thread is a joke, and so is the logic.

 

There is nothing in their contract that says they must expect or condone bigoted statements by a hate monger. I've gone to school and worked at several religious institutions and our deans/ceos never shot their mouths off like that on the public airwaves. It was nice. I didn't have to deal with crap like this.

 

Jesus was firm, he was appropriate. When faced with accusations that would lead to his own death he didn't issue insults. He called no one a sodomite Roman dog...or did I miss that passage?

You can be firm. You can set boundaries. What you can't do is call people names and then say that the action is Christian or in defense of Christianity. That's when you need to speak for yourself.

I'm not saying you've done this, but I've read some ugly things and it is downright shameful.

My biggest complain about Muslims after 911 is that they did not police their own community and say: This is wrong. Period. End of story. The same thing I would say about GLAAD in this whole debacle. They didn't ask the Chicago alderman to not abuse the first amendment or tell the people who were issuing death threats to leave the movement.

I am saying as a Christian that it is fine to be firm, fine to stand up for yourself, it is not fine to call people names.

Like me or dislike me for saying it, but...I would rather be true to Christ than anyone else.

 

No, its NOT a joke! Its sad that you can't comprehend the fact that it is possible for people to disagree about politics, values and religion and STILL treat each other with respect and dignity. Its sad that the radical left can not separate disagreement from hate. I believe in preserving religious, traditional marriage. I don't hate gay people. I just disagree with them on this subject. I am not against civil unions for all.

 

One thing to agree to disagree... another to fund efforts to ensure your position remains the discriminative standard. A joke that I had to explain further.

 

You had asked about this elsewhere:

As for direct contributions (as opposed to filtering it through other NGOs who do things besides contribute to political parties) here are those companies who have donated to Republicans who do not support gay rights:

Shiseido
Best Buy
Office Depot
Coty
Office Depot
ATT
Wal-Mart
Wells Fargo
UPS
Fedex
Nuskin
Enterprise Rental Cars
SCJohnson
Time Warner
Captureent
Ford
Chrysler
GM (laughable)
Pfizer
Wyeth
Merck
Novartis
Lilly
Bristol Meyers
Bayer

When you buy at the above stores and/or products and services you are directly supporting keeping gays and lesbians without the benefit of gay marriage.

 

We are in agreement on this point.

 

Yes well it is very easy for a CEO to say, because of my religious beliefs I personally believe marriage in this country should only be between one man and one woman. Finished. End of story. There is no need to go on a fire and brimstone screed. Frankly if I was the public face of a billion dollar company I would stay far away from making any kind of public statements on controversial matters... you know like 95% of CEOs out there.

 

I can come up with just as long a list of companies that support killing the innocent. We need to face that we live in a deserve society and its OK.

 

Good information for anyone principled enough to exchange based upon their beliefs, as they (apparently) don't operate under a criteria that says there are no alternatives.

 

Did he go fire and brimstone, Jeb? I was under the impression it was a question from a single interview that got blasted across media outlets.

**I'm being serious in my question. I like to know the full story.**

 

Well, you do what you think is best and let others utilize their rights as they say fit.

 

My question is what stores are contributing to banning polygamy marriage? Because when gay marriage "throws the bouquet", polygamy marriage is the bridesmaid that is going to catch that one.

Are we ready for polygamy marriage next? For it certainly will be. That's how legal precedent works. How would we stop it? By saying it's "against mainstream values"? Icky? "Tricky on custody matters"; while complex custody is handled every day in family courts?

Get ready...because once you open the precedent barn-door, all the critters run out..

 

I think it's great what he did, because he let his customers know where he stands with them. Not necessarily on an in-store platform, but he definitely opened the blinds and let in plenty of light regarding the lobbyist donations. If he's principled enough to let his religious position dictate his business decisions (i.e. store closings/donations) then it's perfectly fair to allow his customers to express similar principle if they disagree with his. I only hope that the detractors on both sides will soon realize that very point.

 

Billionaire owners get asked questions all the time. The experienced ones know how to answer them. And yes his answer was far more elaborate and (*)(*)(*)(*)ing then the sample answer I typed up. It was not by any stretch of the imagination the worst thing I've ever heard on the topic but there was ample room to tone it down. This is similar to Romney's situation when questioned about the London Olympics. It should have been an easy softball interview. I don't think most of what he said was factually incorrect. And he certainly had a first amendment right to say it, but we all know what the fallout was. Just because you have the right to say something and what you have to say may actually be factually correct doesn't mean it is wise to say it... particularly if you are a public figure and your words could negatively impact numerous people you represent.

Lulz daming was edited. Ironic.
