His hate? Give me a break. That kind of crap is unnecessary. He has a religious view that is shared by a large portion of the population. While we may disagree with it, I think it is a tad absurd to say it is a position of hate. The hate is coming from those on the left who love to persecute those with religious beliefs.
I will bet you that there is no name change nor will there be a Chik-Fil-A bankruptcy. Name your terms.
Yeah, and there kids bought his shoes and looooved Michael. Same as the white haters kids. Hate does not work on kids well. Not until they get a little older and their hormones start wreaking havoc.
Michael is a capitalist with a capital C. Moron at Chic-Fil-A is a Dinosaur with a capital D... that stands for dumb and soon ....
Still, I don't get the mustache. Maybe, he was going to produce a Chaplin remake?
Maybe, but he buttered his bread on the wrong side.

Not following here. You're saying endorsing a political candidate equals hate but hate doesn't work on kids well. So kids wouldn't buy shoes if Jordan endorsed a certain politician?
They wanted Jordan to go after Strom. To champion their hate. Michael knew that would only end in fewer sales to white folks. Attacking their parents also gives the parents child a reason to dislike you. Mommy and daddy are all good, except when they are ranting about the young kids and "why they wear Michael Jordan's shoes.... don't they know he is just an UncleTom/Ni...."
They lose. Children see what that sort of hate does. And there is Michael smiling and soaring through the air.
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
Hope beats hate everyday of the week and TWICE on Sunday, in every man's Church! That's why Obama is going to win. It's why the old South will never rise. It's why Rockwell and Rothbard failed and it is what doomed Ron Paul. Reagan understood that. So did Kemp. Maybe, Ryan and Rand do.
Of course, Michael could not fly. He just worked his tail off and made it look like he could. He was not born with it. That's a damnable lie.

The thread topic and OP seem to indicate he already has. That hasn't been shown, and now you claim it is yet to come. The fact remains, Chick-Fil-A set an all-time world record for single day sales, following this disastrous attempt to smear the man's good name. As many liberal idiots who vow to never eat there again, are matched and exceeded by the overwhelming number of people who vow to eat there as often as possible... you didn't WIN a goddamn thing, pardon the pun!

Of course its part of the show. And, they'll go out of their way to give to left-leaning organizations as well. They'll be real public about it. But I have no doubt that they'll find real creative ways to continue funding whomever they want.
All part of the show.
But that's how movement happens brother. You give a little, you take a little more, but position yourself to demand.
There is a great truth about rights in America that perhaps you've never had to address. Rights are determined by what you can demand ,, not by what is fair, just, humane, or what Jesus would do. They are determined by what you can demand .. and if you cannot demand them, they are not your rights.
If you say so. As FRS pointed out in another thread, nothing will change in the money.
The aldermen could not demand much.
I am an idea guy. The ideas are important and if the demands are inconsistent with the ideas then both fall apart or come to nothing. We can still put pressure on them and there is no need to violate their constitutional rights or the law.
Many libertarians will argue that we should be free to discriminate in private business. I once supported that, in theory, in some quest for purity and the rest of this is for them.
That argument is just not conducive to a free and productive society. It would not be a libertarian state. The state would be ridculously burdened with enforcing trespass laws and too costly. Either that or it would be forced to adopt police state tactics.
We need to be pushing back against the police state tactics, not trying to protect some esoteric and theoretical right to be a bigot. As libertarians argue, the market would repudiate it anyway, so what is the point?
Well, you all sure can eat a lot. But you'll forget. Watch for them to start closing stores in the cities and minority areas.

LOL.. Why would they close stores in "minority" areas? Blacks are some of the biggest opponents of gay marriage, did you not realize this? Most blacks support the Biblical definition of marriage, like Mr. Cathey. Now The Chick may not be opening a store in San Fran Weirdo anytime soon, but hey... who gives a rip?
You do realize the owner of Chick-Fil-a is not a "they" but an individual American citizen who has the Constitutional right to believe as he pleases, give money to whom he pleases, and run his private business as he sees fit, in accordance with the law, right? Mr. Cathey has NEVER been public about his private charitable contributions, and I doubt he's going to start now. He doesn't have to be "creative" he can donate his money to whomever he pleases, it's not any of your business and there is nothing you can do about it. You can't "put pressure on him" by harassment, because he has Constitutional rights. The best thing for you and the Gay Rights crowd to do, is MOVE ON! Try to forget about this sad episode, and go back to attacking PUBLIC corporations.
Yeah, I have heard you argue that before.
The problem lies in what they are doing in Africa. Many OLDER blacks (better come up with more felonies to strip the younger generations of their voting rights) may well think marriage should remain between a man and woman. But they won't take too kindly to Chic-Fil-A's support of violence in Africa and the murdering of homosexuals there. You see those folks believe in the WHOLE Bible and have actually read it.

Well, more power to ya, convincing people that S. Truett Cathy supports violence in Africa. I don't think people are going to buy that, I certainly don't believe it, having read his book. The overwhelming majority of black people, young AND old, believe marriage should be between a man and woman. This is higher in the black community than any other. Now granted, YOU believe that more people think like you, than actually DO think like you... and there is the problem. If we were 250 years into the future, and MOST people agreed with you, this gay marriage thing might work, but that's not reality. You would do well to get 35% of the people on your side, which leaves 65% who will oppose you.
Now, as I suggested before, the rational thing to do, is adopt a civil unions reform, and get government out of the marriage business... but you don't want to do that because it doesn't let you disgrace religious beliefs and shit on the church traditions. So you'll keep on 'advocating' for this, until you force society to backlash and pass a DOMA-style amendment to the Constitution. Then you'll have to shut the fuck up and accept civil unions, IF that option even still remains. What you and other activists are doing, is standing in the way of progress and keeping millions of gay couples from realizing the benefits they could have under civil unions.... all because you don't really care about gay people and their rights, you care about shitting on the church and degrading religious beliefs.
Oh please... The numbers keep marching in my direction and you know it. 65% what are you on?
The NAACP use to be against legalization of MJ too. Not anymore.
You think black people are going to repeal the 14th amendment or put it in jeapordy by altering it's reach. Again, what are you on? Not even the author of DOMA supports DOMA anymore.
As I explained to you before civil unions won't fly because they create invidious racism. You would have to overturn Loving v Virginia and that IS NOT going to happen. Walker may as well have borrowed my arguments from these boards to write his opinion. But you are too dense to see the writing on the wall.
I know you are afraid you will want to marry bravo (your golden oldies are such a treasure), but don't worry about it so much.

Not they don't. Sorry.
No you wouldn't. Sorry.
Not afraid of anything, I just don't support the idea of redefining marriage to include a sexual lifestyle. I think it sets a dangerous precedent and at the same time, disrespects religious tradition and expression. Not only that, but it's not necessary to achieve what you wish to accomplish, which can be done by simply enacting civil unions legislation.
You want to twist my CU suggestion into some kind of "separate but equal" thing that I've never advocated, and no one who has proposed civil unions has advocated. We would completely abandon "marriage licences" altogether, they would no longer exist, you couldn't obtain them. In place of those, we would have civil union contracts between two consenting adults, without regard for their relationship, sexual or otherwise, like any other contractual agreement. This would completely remove the "sexuality" aspect from the laws, as well as any "religious sanctity" argument. It's a solution that gives everyone exactly what they claim to want, but you don't want it because it doesn't allow you to continue bashing religious traditions and calling people bigots and racists, and dividing Americans against one another for political gain. Those are the really important aspects for you, and you're not ready to give them up.

Sorry, but the grim news is, you are flat wrong. Every ballot initiative you've trotted out, has been defeated by the voters. Of course, the only places it has been attempted, is in highly liberal areas where there is enough support for an initiative, and it has repeatedly gone down to defeat by overwhelming margins. We've never seen how such an initiative might turn out in a highly conservative area, I suspect the defeat would be resoundingly worse. Polls in the "Bible Belt" show such measures would probably fail with less than 15% support, which is why we don't see the initiatives being proposed. As I said, a national referendum would probably be defeated by 30% or more.
You've got a LONG way to go, baby.

Marching in your direction? Then why had queer marriage gone down in flames every time it has been put in the ballot? You are 0-30 butch.
Don't let the ratings for Modern Family fool you. Real Americans only watch it for 3 reasons
1) Al Bundy is still funny
2) The Mexican broad is SMOKIN and has huge tits
3) to laugh at the queers and reinforce to our children why it is such aberrant behavior
