Chick-fil-a

Quote from stu:

What power? The people who think he's right will agree with him those who don't won't.
Sure if he thinks a specific business does not reflect what he sees as meeting his city's standards , in this case social inclusiveness, he has every right to say so. Whether he has any legal power to do anything is another matter altogether.

It could be said his comment went toward helping the specific business encouraging a spurt in the level of trade they've never had before. What you’re suggesting would push these sleazy politicians even further into their own murky world, restricting what they can openly say so the public at large could never know what their opinions are or what they really think.

You want to stop free speech because it might have an effect on some things!? Like I say, are you being serious?

What I'm saying is Rahm's opinion on what the guy said is irrelevant to the duties of his office unless the mayor is pushing an agenda, which then makes it a political hit job on that particular establishment. Clear abuse of power.
The mayor is perfectly free to claim his support for gay marriage as often as he likes. What he can't do is use his opinion as a political weapon to oppress a particular business just because that businessman has a different opinion.

I think I'd be better at it than you. But then I'm not bleeding heart consumed with emotions either.
 
So, we're all going to Chic-fil-a for lunch today? I'll be at the Flower Mound, TX store around 2PM. I may bring some water for the protesters. It's supposed to be 102 degrees out there. (piss water, of course) :D

I'll contribute some "water" for that cause. Poor dumb homos standing around in the heat while no one pays any attention to them.


I didn't realize you're near Dallas, I get in there occasionally. Addison usually and sometimes Love field.

Using Harry Reid methods , "the word is out" that gay's love golden showers. The "word" is also out that Harry may love them himself.

Send me a PM next time you are going to be here. I'll try to get away for a drink or dinner.

He's a politician. Of course he can and will use his opinion as a political weapon. That's what politicians are supposed to do. Push an opinion for those who agree with it.

He clearly sees the duties of his office to support or frustrate business that does or doesn't fit with the city's standards as he describes them. There is nothing at all wrong with that.

The mayor is perfectly free, thank goodness as this isn’t yet the North Korea you’re proposing , to voice his support for anything and if the thinks a particular business or its owners are not conducive to the spirit of the city, then he has a perfect right to say so.

The spirit of the city? For every person in Chicago that Rahm can find supporting gay marriage, I can find one who doesn't. A mayor's job is to frustrate business? Really? Well, he's doing a dam good job of that. The job of the mayor in regard to business is to make the city business friendly to increase the tax base, improve employment opportunites and generally grow the city. Obviously you failed Econ 101. Of course, yours and Rahms business philosophy of frustrating business has been taken all the way to the White House, hence the horseshit economy we're in.
