A FB post this morning, and some rambling thoughts...

Saw a post of a Taco Bell sign that says "We support Chick-Fil-A...now boycott us". I have no problem doing that, and in fact, will...My theory is maybe they will learn a hard corporate lesson, as Chick fil a has already.

That all said, I'm thinking of waiting until after November, just so it's not a further drag on the economy (rumors of my love of Taco Bell have been vastly underreported). What say you?

Lying is a necessary crutch of hate speech.

Like that's some kind of big threat or something.

I don't eat at any of these greasy-ass fast "food" places, anyway, so I don't give a fuck if they stand with Chik-fil-a or not. Frankly, I think the world would be a much better place if none of these franchises existed.

and if there was more money in selling good food than there was in selling poison then that is what they would do.

free speech for Everyone. I know that will anger alot of you. But I believe in equal rights for everyone and when someone asks a question to a known religious person, he has the right to say what ever it is he feels.

And the public has a right to tell him that he is an asshole for having those views and that they no longer want to do business with him.

Free speech does not mean speech without consequences.

are this stupid--they know to stay out of it. Chick-fil-A is in a league of its own in terms of obnoxious religious bullshit. Edit to add: name me one business that wouldn't LOVE a well-organized boycott of a competitor.
