Chick-Fil-A Day a Success!

Unfortunately, I do not have a Chick-Fil-A in my vicinity, or I would have gone today. As it is, we have vowed to go to one when we can. Nevertheless, support Chick-Fil-A day appears to be wildly successful. According to the newscast from Lafayette, there was a line at the store most of the day and cars lined up along SR 26 to get in.I have seen and heard other reports from other places around the state and country that indicate similar results.

I don't want to be overconfident, because that can breed carelessness and unintentional apathy. But this is a good sign. When liberals lay their ideas and plans out in the open daylight, Americans understand them for what they are... and they reject them. Americans reject tyranny.

Where did the "support Chick-Fil-A day" come from? CEO Dan Cathy made some comments concerning Biblical, traditional marriage in an interview on a Christian station. Somehow, the tolerate-everyone-except-conservative-Christian crowd got hold of it and sent it viral. An example of "hate speech," you see. Even the Muppets got into the act as Lisa Henson pulled its business relationship with Chick-Fil-A. So some businesses and some people choose not to patronize Chick-Fil-A because of the values forwarded by the company's CEO and employees. That's freedom of choice.

But two Mayors of American cities decided to politicize the whole affair. Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston and Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago both stated in their respective ways that they would like to keep Chick-Fil-A out of their cities. Mayor Emanuel even had the audacity to say that the Chick-Fil-A values are not "Chicago values." Actually, we can breathe a sigh of relief there. As Ben Shapiro remarked, "'Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago's values,' said Emanuel of a city in which dead people vote and live people dodge bullets." Government leadership using the force of government to damage a legitimate business? That's tyranny! I suggest that Boston's Freedom Trail has no place for Mayor Menino, but plenty of room for a Chick-Fil-A (see Ben Shapiro's article for context).

As Americans wake up to the reality that liberals intend to impose their immorality on every American man, woman, and child; as they wake up to the reality that they intend to eliminate the Christian faith in America; and as they wake up to the reality that liberal politicians intend to use government force as much as possible to damage commerce with whom they disagree, then they respond in reasonable support and fashion for what is right.

I close with two Rush in a hurry comments:

"August 1st, 2012. It is our 24th anniversary here at the EIB Network, starting our 25th year today of talking about and celebrating the wonder of America. Also happening on August 1st, the Chick-fil-A Revolution. Supporting the right to voice your religious beliefs. That's what this is about. You have two Democrat mayors who essentially said Christians aren't desired in our towns." – Rush

"I'll tell you what's gonna happen on November 6th, Obama's gonna get Chick-fil-A'd himself." – Rush

The TEA kettle is on, and it's simmerin'.
