I loved our post. Spot...And now for your father...<br />I loved our post. Spot on. When will you be running for office? We need a sensible person like yourself running this here country, dontcha think?<br />I've never eaten at Chick-Fil-A and I never will!!! I respect both sides of the issue as well, but as usual, I am on the "opposite" side of the fence from the religious right. Does that make me on the right side or the wrong side for the fence? Your readers will most definitely have an opinion about that. So do I. <br />Love you sis!!! Good night...

I don't understand why people ...Agreed to all. I don't understand why people have to turn everything into something controversial (even if it is not fighting about it makes it lose it's emotional power). I must admit though, if I had known about the whole thing with Chick-Fil-A, I would have gone to support them. I wouldn't have said anything to the protesters but I would have been there. Does that make me gasoline adding fuel to the fire?Polly Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763497713098347010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989586293877971034.post-65503203038496993502012-08-02T12:20:52.650-05:002012-08-02T12:20:52.650-05:00This is an awesome post, Liz! I have only one cri...This is an awesome post, Liz! I have only one critique... If Facebook required everyone to click "Agree" to those rules, I don't think people would read them and it would be about as effective as all the other "click-wrap" agreements we assent to. BUT, you're totally right. We should all obey those rules. If people want to boycott, let them boycott. If people want a "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" let 'em have it. We can all choose to show our support for different morals and values in different ways. Frankly, I'm not too keen on a lot of corporate donations, but I live within half a mile of Target and just don't have the time to make a statement about how they spend their money. And with the high prices of so many items in Connecticut, I don't really have the money to spend more at some other store just to make a statement. On the other hand, I fully support traditional marriage and families and I'm glad that someone out there is willing to publicly take some flak for supporting those values. However, we don't have a Chick-Fil-A by us and even if we did I wouldn't have two hours to go wait for my lunch! Anyway, you summed it up really well and it baffles me that in America we've resorted to labeling everyone who disagrees with us as intolerant. I think if we have to resort to that label, then what we are really saying is "I don't tolerate you because you disagree with me."Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397503772609296649noreply@blogger.com
