One Chick-fil-A Rant Worth a Look

Pretty much, yeah. Remember this too. FOCUS. Both sides are flailing around in their divisive, overheated, media-enabled moral outrage that's as much about display as anything else. Everybody just calm the heck down and have an ice cream.  Good grief, people. There's one more thing I want to add for the most histrionic on both sides: the fact that somebody does not agree with you does not automatically mean that s/he (a) is evil or stupid or morally degenerate, (b) hates you and wants to destroy you, or (c) must be suppressed in the name of some faux idea of whatever.  A person who disagrees with you is still a person.  Special note to the dipstick politicians: SHAME ON YOU.

Seriously.

Here's a Thought on the Chick-fil-A Kerfuffle

Quote of the Day: Freedom of Speech

Very Voltairesque comment on the Chick-fil-A kerfuffle::

The government blocking a business from opening based on the owner's political views is a clear threat to everyone's freedom of speech—being unpopular doesn't mean you don't have rights. It's only by protecting the rights of those whose views we find odious that we can hope to secure them for ourselves.

And finally from a lefty publication, no less.( Check out the URL on that thing: "homophobes have rights too.") You will remember this.  As for the mayors of Chicago and Boston, they get the "dirtbag du jour" tag.  Shame on you.  

UPDATE: "Chicken Inquisition."  Heh.
