Liberal Mayors Deny Businesses the Right to Operate in Their Cities posted on July 26, 2012 by The Godfather Big-City mayors are attacking Chick-fil-A by threatening to deny them a business license to operate. These liberal mayors don’t like the public stand the owners have taken on defending biblical marriage. This is tyranny of the first order. First it was punishment for “hate crimes,” then it was for “hate speech,” and now it’s hate “thought crimes.” The mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, welcomes an anti-semite but refuses to allow a Christian business to operate within the city. Emanuel said, “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our neighbors, and our family members. And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values.” I suppose the “values” of an anti-semite are Chicago’s values: Ignoring Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s history of anti-Semitic remarks, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday welcomed the army of men dispatched to the streets by Farrakhan to stop the violence in Chicago neighborhoods. Maybe if these gang members had jobs at Chick-fil-A violence would go down. When will Jews get the message that Democrats are not their friends? Even liberal newspaper editorials think the actions of the mayors of Chicago, Boston, and Mountain View, California, are way out of line: “Public officials have a responsibility to carry out their ministerial tasks fairly and evenhandedly – and to uphold the principle of free speech – whether or not they like a business executive’s social or political stances,” the [Los Angeles] Times opined. “The Boston Globe wondered “which part of the First Amendment does [Boston Mayor Thomas] Menino not understand? A business owner’s political or religious beliefs should not be a test for the worthiness of his or her application for a business license.” What’s next? If a business owner opposes abortion — even though he is not in the anti-abortion business — will that business owner be denied a business license? Will Republican business owners be denied a business license if they oppose ObamaCare? Will churches be denied the right to exist in liberal cities if they continue to preach against abortion and homosexuality or anything else that the powers that be consider to be ideologically inappropriate? These are not far-fetched concerns. Canada and some European governments will prosecute ministers who take a public stand against homosexuality. The owners of Chick-fil-A believe certain things. Everybody believes certain things. Does a belief system disqualify someone from operating a business? Boston Mayor Tom Menino knows that he can’t deny a business license to someone for what he believes, so he’s accusing Chick-fil-A of actual discrimination: “You can’t have a business in the City of Boston that discriminates against a population. We’re an open city. We’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion.” As anyone who has followed this story knows, Chick-fil-A does not discriminate against anyone. Everybody is served. No questions are asked. It wouldn’t surprise me that there are a lot of business owners in Boston who are racists and sexists. Will the mayor shut them down? Then there’s the job side in all of this. The economy is suffering. People want jobs, and the mayors of these cities are denying people access to a great work environment, good pay, and benefits.
Poster Comment: You would think these dumbass mayors would want all the tax revenues they can get their hands on, but I guess not.... Even though they blame the racist white folks (who live in the suburbs) for the cities decline because of lack of tax revenue, they screw the pooch when they have a chance to make some of it back.... Just goes to show you how brainless Leftards really are!!!!

I never heard of Chick-fil-A until all of this nonsense came up. The really important point here is that the founder of the company dared to utter something on television that the loony left doesn't like, so now he has become the number one hate object of the left in the county. What did he say? He said that companies can't be Christian. Only individuals can be Christian. But, Chick-fil-A tries to operate their business in a Christian way. 30, 40, 50 years ago he would have been hailed by Democrats and Republicans alike as a model businessman, operating in a manner that benefits society. Today, the lunatic left demonizes him. Look, everyone here knows that I am a libertarian and I completely reject the government's authority over marriage. Marriage is a contract between two people and the government shouldn't have any real authority whatsoever to tell anyone who they can and cannot marry. Unfortunately, the lunatic left is not interested in freedom. They are interested in government validation, support, and coercion. That's the problem. The so-called "right" doesn't escape blame here either. Marriage license didn't become the norm in the U.S. until the Progressive Era. Many of today's "conservatives" are trying to conserve the Progressive Era, when they should be trying to conserve the Constitution. There is something very, very wrong in American.
Just with some of the people.... If the average American paid more attention to what was really going on in this country, I don't think it would have gotten this bad!!! They just wouldn't/couldn't believe that the people they had been electing to Office would do the things they were doing to our freedom.... Naive I guess you could say or too trusting, whichever you prefer....
the new holocaust ... jihad - purge --- crusade ! OBAMA: I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms. And we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation ... that hunting - shooting --- are part of a cherished national heritage. But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals –– that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities. I believe the majority of gun owners would agree that we should do everything possible to prevent criminals and fugitives from purchasing weapons; that we should check someone’s criminal record before they can check out a gun seller; that a mentally unbalanced individual should not be able to get his hands on a gun so easily. These steps shouldn’t be controversial. They should be common sense. http://libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=323875&Disp
Whoever posted that doesn't understand that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. And when it comes to civil war in the USA, shouldn't the citizens be at least as armed as the Government that comes after them? After all it was written so we could protect ourselves not only from others that would do us harm but a rogue Government as well. Good grief.

Good grief. I think most Americans forget the primary objective of the British was when they landed in Boston. It was to seize the militia's armory.
