Appreciation Day

Chick-Fil-A looks to be on its way to doing a banner day today.  This photo was taken outside the Martinsburg, WV, restaurant just before a bomb threat against it was received:

While the Martinsburg site may lose some money because of the tolerance folks, the restaurant seems to be doing OK around the rest of the U.S.

But one thing people really, really need to remember about this:  a private business was attacked for the owner's personal religious beliefs by government entities using their positions of power.  Emanual and others are in positions where they can influence government actions against citizens based on those citizen's voiced opinions.  Countries have been here before - it has always ended badly for all of them.
  

What he said.

The Christaphobes went nuts over the Dan Cathy interview recently.  For those who don't recognize the name, he's the openly Christian head of Chick-Fil-A.  The usual self-avowed promoters of tolerance (read "liberals") came out immediately with their usual threats, statements that the fast food chain would and should be denied building permits, and obscene and vicious tweets.  For the record, here is the portion of the interview concerning marriage that spawned the righteous indignation:

Some have opposed the company's support of the traditional family. "Well, guilty as charged," said Cathy when asked about the company's position.

"We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.

"We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized.

"We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

Such a violent and vicious statement against gays!  Terrible, terrible!  Particularly in view of the evenhanded openness of the tolerance crew who responded to it.  I've never eaten at Chick-Fil-A.  Ever - I'm not a fast food person.  But the tolerance crew has made sure that I will be eating there on Wednesday, and regularly after.
