Chick-fil-A restaurants face day of "Kiss In" after conservatives deliver record sales

You don't consider advocating a boycott, harassment? Do you think it's OK to threaten your livelihood, and the livelihood of all your employees and vendors because of a political disagreement over marriage?

Look at the first post on this page, where M. J. say's it's OK to criticize a political opponent's spouse; is that civil discourse?

If so, why?

LMFGDAO!!! Don't compartmentalize your arguement and expect me to buy into your blather.

Obama and Romney do it all the time and yet 99% of America buys into it like it's some sort of biography. It's called politics - which this had nothing to do with.

It was a kiss-in. It wasn't a Northern Ireland bombing or a West Bank shelling. Being a heterosexual myself, I wasn't offended by anything that happened that day - other than the fact that it seemed "queer" to me that the owner of a restaurant has an opinion about everything except for good food.

There were no threats. I think you need to go to more "Smoking Gun" meetings and pay attention more closely.

Again, don't be so homophobic - they're not out to get you dude.

It was a boycott, an attempt to economically strangle a political opponent. In foreign policy, wars have started over blockades; economic warfare is the first step toward violence.

Since when is Cathy a political opponent of gay society? And what in the hell has this got to do with foriegn policy?

So, using your logic, we (America), have been on the verge of war with Japan because they sell good, cheap automobiles here?

They made a boatload of money the day of the kiss-in - if it was an economic blockade (I'm still lmao over that one), it failed miserably.

Pheeeeewwwwww...you're harder to follow than a herd of cats.

The boycott did fail badly. Do you want the kind of people who can't even manage an effective boycott to rewrite marriage law? Be serious!

Meah...it's a Southern Baptist thing I guess. If Chick-fil-A sold dog turds dipped in sewage they'd sell a billion of them as long as the owner opposed gay marriage. Nobody ever said the southeast was overflowing in wisdom.

Does the "G" in Brian_G stand for goofy?

Try campaigning someplace else beside a forum that has only 300 viewers.

You have selective myopic vision. It was nation wide. Moreover, if you lift those pink bi-focals, you'll see that 8000 years of human history have the wisdom to know that gay unions can never be marriage.

Just a simple fact that only a simpleton would deny.

I think you need to do more reading on demigraphics - nation wide or not - it'll happen - regardless of who you losers put in office - you know it, I know it - everyone knows it.

And if you actually could read, you'd realize that those 8,000 years of human history are nothing but re-written lore. Any text that puts humans and dinosaurs in the same period deserves a spot on the cartoon network.

The only thing rewritten is reality by your gay twirl.

Here is the cruel irony; Even if it does pass (never has in any culture in all of human history before our time), everyone who sees two guys will always see them as gays before they see them as 'married'. Anyone who sees two women will always see Hillary Clinton and Janet Napolitano before they see a lesbian couple.

The only reason marriage is pursued instead of gay unions is to poorly imitate something normal. And it simply won't work. In fact it will make the distinctions all the clearer to someone with myopic vision.
