Chick-fil-A is under attack right now by the radical homosexual lobby because
Dan Cathy, the son of Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy, made a simple statement
of faith: “I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we
shake our fist at Him and say, we know better than you as to what constitutes a
marriage.”
And in response, the "proponents of tolerance" have called him a "hater," a
"bigot" and have claimed that he is engaging in discriminatory behavior; and, it
should go without saying, that the accusations are simply not true. Agree or
not, there's nothing hateful in what he said.
As a man of deep faith, Cathy knows that "all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God," (Romans 3:23) and does not discriminate or treat any of God's
children with derision or disrespect; but the "proponents of tolerance" do not
tolerate any man or woman who disagrees with their worldview and have no respect
for the freedoms of speech and religious expression guaranteed by our Creator
and codified in the Constitution.
In the past few days, Chick-fil-A and Dan Cathy have been the subject of false
and defamatory attacks. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the
Jim Henson Company and
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino have already come out against Cathy; and
more weak-kneed corporations and government officials are certain to follow suit
in the coming days.
Make no mistake, those who refuse to "tolerate" Cathy's faith want Chick-fil-A
out of business. The thousands that would be put out of work, the students who
receive college scholarships for working at Chick-fil-A, and those who benefit
as a result of the millions of dollars Chick-fil-A gives to charity every year,
mean nothing to these "proponents of tolerance."
All opposition must be stomped under the boots of political correctness and the
personal cost to others is not relevant to those who advance our brave new
world. That's how tyranny works; and yet, in the face of this persecution, Cathy
is standing firm; and because of his firm stance, he deserves the respect and
admiration of ever American who values religious liberty.
But more than respect and admiration, he needs Americans like you to stand with
him because when you stand for Cathy and Chick-fil-A, you are also taking a
stand for yourself, your future and your beliefs.
While we don't always advocate boycotts, we have no reservation in advocating a
buycott; so again, mark your calendars, and spread the word. On August 1, 2012,
everyone who loves freedom and liberty should grab a meal at their nearest
Chick-fil-A.
