Chick-fil-A protests: Will petition and 'kiss-in' help or hurt?

LA Times  "The kiss-in, meanwhile, has some gay and lesbian supporters questioning whether such outward displays of affection will ultimately help or hurt their cause."
....

"I respect not patronizing their establishment ... but by taunting them in their establishment is hate-filled and inciting anger and hate," said one commenter on a Causes.com page urging people to participate in the kiss-in.
"Suggested another: "Its okay to disagree but its not okay to confront a person on their views in such an aggressive and provocative manner. There are forums for that."
"McGehee told the Los Angeles Times that she encouraged participants to be "polite and tasteful."
" "This is about us showing our love.... We're not encouraging people to be outrageous or lewd." "

Hate & Marriage: Bakery Hit With 1,000 Angry Messages

The Pearcey Report  "Masterpiece Cake Shop in Lakewood, Colorado, says yes to marriage and therefore no to the counterfeit version that mobs of radical homosexuals are trying to impose upon Americans."
...."That's right: They'd like to order a three-layer cake of "equality." And if you know what's good for you, you'll play along.
"Or we'll show up at your door and tolerate you to death. Kisses of death on the house."

The story: Lakewood Cake Shop Refuses Wedding Cake To Gay Couple   "Some customers said they are now ordering cakes at the shop specifically because of the stance against gay marriage. 


" “We would close down that bakery before we closed our beliefs, so that may be what it comes to … we’ll see,” Phillips said.  "A larger protest is scheduled to take place next Saturday."

Get used to it; no matter how much class Conservative Americans show, the left will disdain and insult us. They do not like us.

Mediate; Shep Smith Makes Apparent Slam Of Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day As ‘National Day Of Intolerance  "As one of the main charms of Fox News’ Studio B with Shepard Smith is that anything can happen, and it usually does. For example, as Smith was tossing to commercial Wednesday afternoon, he took what seemed like a hard shot at former Arkansas Governor and Fox stablemate Mike Huckabee‘s “Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day,”invented to celebrate that restaurant chain’s opposition to marriage equality.
"Delivering one of those banal date-related factoids that news shows throw out there every so often, Smith said “It’s National Badminton Day,” then added “forget National Day of Intolerance, let’s just stay with badminton.” Smith has previously(sic) express support for marriage equality."
Political Cartoons by Glenn McCoy
Why are liberals so intolerant?  "Big-city mayors from Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., vowed to use their political clout to keep Chick-fil-A out of their cities. When the company’s top spokesman died unexpectedly last week, one liberal friend of mine declared on Facebook, “Oh, karma, you crafty bitch.” 
"I thought liberals were the ones preaching tolerance?"


Speech police talk nasty about Chick-fil-A   "These officials did not merely express an opposite point of view. They threatened to use their political power to punish a man — and those who work for him — for saying something with which they disagree. The message this sent is crystal-clear and chilling: Conform to the “accepted” view, or else."

Romney, don't fall into that financial records trap that Democrats are setting!

Ann Coulter; Obama's Signature Move: Unsealing Private Records  "Mitt Romney presents one enormous problem for Barack Obama's campaign: No divorce records. That's why the media are so hot to get their hands on Romney's tax records for the past 25 years. They need something to "pick through, distort and lie about" -- as the Republican candidate says.
"Obama's usual campaign method, used in 100 percent of his races, has been to pry into the private records of his opponents."
...".Let's take a romp down memory lane and review the typical Obama campaign strategy. Obama became a U.S. senator only by virtue of David Axelrod's former employer, the Chicago Tribune, ripping open the sealed divorce records of Obama's two principal opponents."  Emphasis mine, TD
In a coordinated effort, Harry Reid comes up with this sleazy trick: Reid: 'I Heard Romney Has Not Paid Taxes for Ten Years'   "Clearly, Reid’s accusation, based on a random and lone source, was the excuse the mainstream media needed to continue talking about Romney’s taxes instead of Obama’s economy."

" “Here’s a rule of thumb, if you have to follow you claim with the words, ‘I don’t know if this is true’ then shut up.” Stewart said, comparing Reid to Donald Trump."
But I disagree that Romney should release more years of Tax returns for the reasons that Ann Coulter lists above. I replaced the former video because it wouldn't play. Maybe this one will work. Maybe this one will work. 

Rick Moran writes in American Thinker: Reid doubles down on hearsay tax charges against Romney  "It used to be that members of one's own party would come down on someone making an absolutely spurious charge like this. But there is only silence from Obama and the Democrats are now in desperation mode with the economy continuing to tank and the election less than 100 days away."



The Sad Truth About Bad Bulbs

The Gorebulb
PJ Media   "STUDY: CFLs are bad for you. Daily Caller reports:"

Scientists concluded that CFL light bulbs can be harmful to healthy skin cells.“Our study revealed that the response of healthy skin cells to UV emitted from CFL bulbs is consistent with damage from ultraviolet radiation,”.... 
 "I was an early adopter of CFLs, but have since removed almost all of them from our house. Not because of reports like this one, or because of the potential for expensive cleanups after a broken one, or any of the other many problems the screwy little bulbs create.
"No, I took them out because the light sucks. And also because they’re too expensive, don’t last as long as advertised, and therefore aren’t any cheaper to run."    More...

The media and the Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day; reading list. Should we also swamp the big "kiss-in" at Chick-fil-A again on Friday ?

CBS Atlanta came to record a protest, NOT this. The camera work is frustratingly bad, but revealing.


CBS Atlanta tweeted this response:

   we did cover it - that crew covered appreciate day at another      location.

Ethel Fenig tells of My strictly kosher experience at Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day
"From what I heard most of the people who specifically came for Appreciation Day did so not because of the president of Chick-fil-A's ideas on same sex marriage but to support freedom of opinion and oppose political bulldozing."


Roseanne Barr revives Christian bashing in wake of Chick-fil-A Day: She tweeted: 
"for God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son to hate the gays"


Florida reporter lashes out at Chick-fil-A protesters  (Meaning us)  " “[T]too bad there wasn’t another reporter around to go with me and film it. I really wanted to do the interviews on camera while eating out of a bucket of KFC,” he added".  Is there any doubt that the left has an intense dislike for those of us who are not in the tank for their causes and who resent their demagoguery ?


Media Crusade Against Chick-Fil-A Continues " Lately, however, media outlets have deployed their resources to help the left destroy the Christian chicken chain."


Shocking proof of specie-ism at Chick-fil-A:  In this disgusting display of condescension, the intelligence of bovine-Americans is ridiculed by the restaurant in this specie-ist illustration portraying them as illiterate. This is stereotypical and we utterly eject this implication.


PJ Media has pictures from all over.  The article included this quote: 
The gal in front of me there was talking of  “kiss-ins” on Friday in support of gay rights.  She said if they did that, she was bringing her husband and showing them how kissing really works.
