Rahm: “Chick-fil-A Values Are Not Chicago Values” [W:698]

He was the Presidential nominee and opposed SSM. A much more powerful position than throwing some dollars at an opposition group.

Point is even though he didnt support SSM he also didnt do anything to actively oppose it.

besides publicly stating that he opposed it...

I would think being an elected official and opposing SSM would be worse than giving money to an organization that opposes SSM. The elected official can actually do something about SSM. Just my opinion.

It is worse. But you have more choices on where to get a chicken sandwich than you do on who to pick to be President. ;)

Well at what point is Obama now and at what point is Chick-A-Fill now?

You have GOT to be kidding. THAT is your pathetic reply? Well...he changed! all of...2 months ago. Suddenly (just before the election) he found 'religion'...and now...sonuvagun...liberals found their activist voice. Shocking! What a laughable collection of hypocrites.

Unless you're claiming that Obama voters were clairvoyant and knew that he'd flip flop on the topic of gay marriage, then your question is irrelevant.

No I'm not clairvoyant. And I have not seen him flip flop on the subject of gay marriage. He never ran on a platform of gay marriage not being recognized under the law. His personal opinion is a different thing.

Okay fine it was all an evil plot to turn the world gay.:roll:

In the campaign he expressed a personal opinion not a legal one.

Right...but he also didnt uphold DOMA and several states legalized SSM before he publicly supported SSM which is what im talking about. He did nothing to actively stop SSM from being legalized.

sorry dude... Obama flip flopped like a dying fish.

one can agree with his flip flopping and like where his "evolution" ended up, but one can't deny the reversal of position.
 
Phoenix said:
That's well and good but I asked how YOU felt about it. You seem completely okay and are defending these towns refusing Chick-Fil-A because the company isn't "Keeping their values". I will ask again...
Is it legal and just as okay, in your opinion, for a southern town to deny a gay bar (or gay apparel shop, TV specialty shop etc) the ability to operate, as it seem to be to you for these towns to deny Chick-Fil-A the ability to operate.

If the gay fast food chicken joint is bigoted and spewing nonsensical fear mongering, then I am okay with it.

It was pretty obvious. What he said while campaigning for POTUS was a flip flop from what he said as an Illinois state Senator.

Also, he didn't infer that allowing gay marriage would bring the wrath of God.

(Isn't wrath an original sin?)

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.

Not a flip flop.

And the owner of Chic til a expressed a personal one (I guess his opinion hasn't 'evolved' yet...but then...he isn't in an election year).

that is a very short sighted and superficial position. I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the various press releases the ACLU handled while they were defending Barry Black for cross burning

Obama 'flipped' because it was politically expedient. He responded to the news stories showing gay donors were staying away in droves. His 'change' was as predictable as the middle eastern weather. What is laughable are he liberal puppets that dance every time he tugs their strings.

not exactly true.

the gay community was pretty pissed that his justice department defended DOMA as existing law.... up until he decided he wasn't going to defend it as existing law. ( it's good to be da king)

Gesus - all I want is good tasting fastfood when I go to a restaurant to order something.

Food

That's it

not political justice or morality vs immorality

****ing stupid

food

one track mind

food

hot, flavorful, bold, creamy, saucy - like sex . . . but only in a wrapper and fixated between two baked buns.

Chick Fil-A isn't good food.

Why should I care that the ACLU defended him?

I pointed to the various press releases they issued about the case, and why his defense was essential to a healthy, and functional, first amendment
