Why share even a tiny portion of ourpossessions when it is much easier to tell the poor and sick to get a job? (Even though we know that we are experiencing the worst job market in generations). No, no, Tom, extending a hand to our needy brothers and sisters is not ‘misguided’, it is just unpopular.”

Today, August 1st, is Chick-fil-A Day . . . And many Americans say they plan to visit their local Chick-fil-A restaurant today. Chick-fil-A supporters hope their actions will send a signal that many Americans still appreciate courage and conviction.
Gay activists have been pressuring Chick-fil-A for months, saying the company is anti-gay for donating to groups that support traditional marriage

Calling cowardly bigotry "courage and conviction" is not very Accurate. ;)
"groups that support traditional marriage"
Where does this "tradition" come from? I've checked the Bible, most of the married folks in that book had multiple wives, concubines...heck some even had sex with their own children!
So, where does this "tradition" come from? Anyone?

"Is there any other nation in the World whose president has sued one of his states to force them to allow illegal alien immigration? Only in America and only with a Democrat president in office.”
Reagan wasn't a Democrat. And he did worse than sue. Try to remember, he granted amnesty to 20 million illegals. Oops!

Chick-fil-A appreciation day!!
Meaning the "traditional" marriage of one man and one woman; there are 31 states that have approved traditional marriage amendments to their state constitutions. Saying that marriage is exclusively a union between a man and a woman.
Just eight years ago, Barack Obama, said in a U.S. Senate campaign speech, that he believed as a Christian that marriage was between a man and a woman. But this year, President Obama announced that he now supports same-sex marriage.
This year, (since Obama’s announcement) the cultural storm escalated when Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy publicly expressed his support for traditional marriage on "The Ken Coleman Show." And that he (and Chick-fil-A) think marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman.

Yes, Reagan gave amnesty to 20 million invaders.
BUT -- that was SUPPOSED to be followed by strict enforcement of the immigration laws from that point forward with no exceptions.
People who support the invading aliens claim our immigration laws need to be reworked.
Why?
The Federal Government has stated it will ignore the laws so why bother writing new ones?
The Federal Government has basically said the border will not be enforced and anyone who can crawl across the border is " good to go ".
So, in reality, we don't HAVE any immigration laws.

Vent #1: It does seem our Department of Injustice is quick to sue anyone or state that does not toe the liberal/progressive line.
Vent #2: I have read online that there are so many people at Chick-Fil-a there are traffic jams at their locations.
Vent #3: With more people there will be most dysfunctional families. More money does not equate to better education. Most people are constrained by their personal choices.
Vent #4: Yes it is Obama fault. He says everything is fine and you can't succeed on your own.
Vent #5: When the government takes your guns you end up with no guns. But the criminals still have theirs.
Vent #6: If you feel victimized then go out and buy a gun. You will feel better.
Vent #7: Where to begin with this socialist babble.
First; We are all equal, the size of our bank account only determines how much of a larger percentage the government can take from you in taxes.
Second; Poor is a relative term determined by politicians for political purposes. Payments to the poor are a transfer of others people's money. For the government to help the poor some people must give up their hard earned money, and tax cuts are not transferring wealth to the wealthy but letting people keep their own money.
Third; The present government welfare system is not a "hand up" but an unlimited "hand out" that makes more and more people dependent on welfare. It saps the will to succeed or take responsibility for ones self. WHEN OUR PRESIDENT TELLS US WE CAN'T SUCCEED ON OUR OWN THEN WE WON'T TRY.

I wonder why Accuracy is afraid to answer me.
I just want to know where the "tradition" of "one man, one woman" marraige comes from. I've already debunked the idiots claiming it was in the Bible...
So, did homophobes just make it up? If not, WHERE did it come from?
Engaged Voter posted at 4:29 pm on Wed, Aug 1, 2012.
"First; We are all equal"
Unless you're a woman, or gay, or the "wrong" skin color, or aren't a Christian...
"Second; Poor is a relative term..."
What a load of tripe.
"WHEN OUR PRESIDENT TELLS US WE CAN'T SUCCEED ON OUR OWN THEN WE WON'T TRY. "
You are claiming Obama said this? Source please.
(and if this is the same out-of-context misquote that even Romney isn't stupid enough to keep using...)

Tasteless Chatmandoodoo.
And may I remind you that a marriage, traditional or otherwise, is not required to procreate.
Also the Catholic church does not condone the "fun and recreation" part, solely the procreational use of our bodies.
My view has been for a long time that homosexuality is GOD's answer to overpopulation! So as Christians attempt to invade the planet by spewing out offspring by the dozens the ranks of the non-straight swells! Thank God for that!
And as my Mama liked to say 'The good Lord works in mysterious ways" Amen.

Arizona Willie posted at 8:13 am on Thu, Aug 2, 2012.
wdgnas --- that " little boys " stuff seems to also apply to half the teachers in Aridzona.
Every week there is another teacher being arrested for sex with the students.
Even the women teachers.
A lot of non-Catholic " ministers " get arrested for the same thing.
And, I'm very suspicious of any adult who seeks a job as a " youth counselor / advisor".

The liberal/progressive/s only have to hit the report button to delete my comments. Looks like the liberal/progressive/elitist hit the report button when they can't defend their liberal/progressive/elitest ideology. Did I say liberal/progressive/elitest enough? LOL

More than likely the comment was removed because it contained coarse vulgarity, which violates evtrib's Rules of Conduct.
But THAT explanation makes too much sense for some people. ;)
As for the ignorant bigot's follow-up comment, it speaks for itself (and provides the labels Ignorant and Bigot). Bravo! LOL

So no one is going to answer my question on where this "traditional marriage" comes from? Not a working spine amongst the homophobes?

Dear chatmandu002 - I am a conservative.
And I am not the one who is having trouble defending their ideology...that would be the person making false claims about others. ;)
Unless you CAN'T defend your position, and weak insults is all you have?
Time will tell.
