Three stories in the last week seem to indicate that something is amiss.
First, the CEO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, answers a question that he believes in the Bible and therefore is not in favor of gay marriage. Never mind that his views are entirely consistent with federal law (the Defense of Marriage Act), almost every state in the union ( a majority of which have it in their constitution that marriage is defined as one man and one woman) and that there has never been a vote of the people in this country in any state where gay marriage has been approved of (including California!).
His view was also entirely consistent with that of the President of the United States, Barack Obama, until three months ago when he "evolved".
Cathy's views were villified by many liberals including the Mayors of Chicago and Boston. Both said they wanted to ban Chick-fil-A from doing business in their cities. They seem to have forgotten that the Constitution of the United States contains a Bill of Rights that protects both the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion.
The same week that Mayor Rahm Emanuel was stating that Chick-fil-A was not welcome in Chicago because they didn't have "Chicago values" he was also welcoming Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan with open arms. Here are just a few of Farrakhan's quotes over the years.
“Murder and lying comes easy for white people.”
“The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man.”
“These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It’s the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality, [and] Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government [on the war in Iraq]."
By the way, I have been eating at Chick-fil-A's around the country faithfully for 40 years. I have never seen a hint of discrimination in who they hire or who they serve. In fact, they probably contribute more to local charities in their communities than any other restaurant chain that I am familiar with. And they do it with "pleasure".
If you think this is upside down you can show your support for Chick-fil-A by supporting a buy-cott on Wednesday, August 1. This is in response to liberal and gay groups who urged a boycott of Chick-fil-A after Cathy's statement.
Gay activists are also urging a same sex kiss-in at Chick-fil-A's on Friday, August 3. Is this an example of the civility that the Left is always talking about? What a great example for our children. I say keep your PDA out of CFA! What you do in private is your business. When you take it in to a family friendly, faith-based business there is little doubt you are upside down.
I will be eating at Chick-fil-A on August 1 as I have also done the last two days. I could see no evidence that any boycott was affecting their business in either of my visits. It was hopping inside and at two drive thru-lanes on both days.
This cartoon, compliments of the Media Research Center, pretty simply states the case. Supporting traditional marriage is not bigotry, it's biology.
The second story that caught my eye came out of San Francisco. Is there any place more beautiful on the outside but you have to wonder what is happening on the inside?
A new bill would ban tobacco at all outdoor events like street fairs and concerts on city property. However, the use of medical marijuana would still be allowed. Medical marijuana has been shown to be little more than a disguised legalization of pot. Roger Parloff described what is happening in California in an article in Fortune magazine in 2009.
In most of California's coastal metropolitan areas, marijuana is effectively legal today. Any resident older than 18 who gets a note from a doctor can lawfully buy the stuff, and doctors seemingly eager to write such notes, typically in exchange for a $200 consultation fee, advertise in newspapers and on websites.
There are an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 medical marijuana patients in the state now, and the figure is rapidly growing.The proliferation of medical marijuana shops in Los Angeles have become so bad that last week the Los Angeles city council voted 14 to 0 to ban all the city's marijuana dispensaries. There are actually more pot dispensaries (almost 1,000) than Starbucks in Los Angeles according to LA City Councilman Paul Krekorian.
If it has come to this in liberal LA what does that say about what San Francisco is doing?
If someone has to use medical marijuana why do they have to do it in public, anyway? I guess it is for the same reason that gays want to have a kiss-in at Chick-fil-A.
Upside down? You decide?
Finally, we have Brian Ross of ABC News trying to associate the Aurora, Colorado Batman mass murderer with the Tea Party. Of course, remember when all of the mainstream media outlets like ABC News consistently tried to avoid reporting that U.S. officer Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 at Fort Hood. Texas in 2009, was an Islamic radical and had even shouted "Allah Akbar" before he commenced the shootings.
The media is quick to try to tie patriotic, peaceful Americans to a mass murder but they won't report real facts about a hate-filled Islamic radical's actions in killing patriotic servicemen and women.
Upside down? You decide.
