Chicken**** – On the Left’s Hypocrisy and the Right’s Reason

The President of Chick-Fil-A expressed his personal views on a radio show and created a media storm.  Since then, the Mayors of Chicago and Boston have said he’s not welcome.

Perhaps Rahm Emmanuel should listen to another interview, in which his newly chosen nemesis says that he’s opening three stores in Chicago and possibly four more.

Or perhaps the Mayors of Chicago and Boston should listen to the ACLU and the Mayor of New York.

I’ve been to Chick-Fil-A’s, and I’ve found them to employ all sorts of minorities, many teenagers, and been closed on Sundays.  Walmart closes only one day a year:  Christmas.

Chick-Fil-A doesn’t seem to discriminate against anybody, in hiring or service.  There’s No Beef!

I suppose that the Democrat Mayors wish to make a political point, but they would deny a corporation that provides employment to all they otherwise state they would support.

On the other hand, Amazon ($2.5 million) and Microsoft executives (two, at $100,000 each) have supported gay marriage in Washington State, and I don’t see any Mayors or politicians on the Right calling for a boycott of their products.

Despite what they say, the Left is against free speech and the Right is for it.

    Boston and Chicago should be happy to have any business they can get. And Christians should boycott both cities. It will start to happen to Chicago anyway because it is turning itself into Killdelphia and even miinorities get out of those cities, a la Detroit.

    Menino says:

    ?Chick-fil-A doesn?t belong in Boston. You can?t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We?re an open city, we?re a city that?s at the forefront of inclusion.?

    Okay, so Boston is for inclusion, but you say you want to exclude a business. This is typical liberalism, saying others need to be tolerant when they are least tolerant of all.

    And in this case, he is also plain wrong, since Chik-Fil-A does not discriminate any any one, except those who want chicken on Sundays.
