Hunger, or being hungry, and deciding what to eat—- that is my version of the Hunger Games!!
So I am hoping to be plenty hungry tomorrow, and urge everyone to show your support for Dan Cathy and Chick-Fil-A tomorrow by visiting one of his 1600 stores.
I urge our friends in the LGBT community to join as well. Why?
Because this is not a marriage equality issue, or a gay rights issue!!
This is about freedom of speech………………… Mr. Cathy was asked a question and voiced his opinion, his beliefs.
For doing that, at least three Mayors have stated that they will use their political agendas to force Mr. Cathy to Change his views” or not be allowed to operate his businesses in their cities.
We must all understand that this is a very “slippery slope” that Chicago’s Ward leader and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is travelling upon. The very idea that a business will be granted a building permit, a Health department license, a certificate of occupancy, or any other Governmental license based upon the ideology of the management of the organization is patently offensive ti the very nature of the free enterprise system, our basic civil rights, and the very core of our freedoms.

Imagine this:
A future Republican president invites Tea Party leaders to the White House. Some of them have themselves photographed standing in front of a portrait of President Barack Obama with their middle fingers extended. They then posted these photos on Facebook with the caption “F–k Obama.” (Needless to say, the F-word was spelled out.)
Some questions:
1. How much coverage do you think the national press would give to this?
2. How would Democratic — and Republican — leaders react?
3. How would Tea Party activists react?
The answers:
1. The mainstream media across America would widely report what had happened and repeatedly show these photos. “The New York Times” would editorialize about the racism of the Tea Party. Liberal columnists would be relentless in their condemnations of the Tea Party as a low life movement of yahoos.
2. Democrats and Republicans alike would condemn these leaders and demand their resignation.
3. Tea Party activists would feel embarrassed by these people who represented them, and they would be deeply concerned that their movement’s good name had been permanently tarnished.
Now let’s explore a real-life situation from this past week.
President Barack Obama invited activists to the White House’s 2012 LGBT pride reception. Two of them, Matthew “Marty” Hart, a director of the leftist organization, Solutions for Progress, and an activist photographer, Zoe Strauss, posed for a photo in front of a portrait of President Ronald Reagan with both their middle fingers extended. They then posted the photo on Facebook with the caption “F–k Reagan” (the F-word is spelled out). (emphasis added)
