Black Pastors: Banning Chick-fil-A From Cities ‘Same Thing’ As Banning Blacks From Restaurants

The President of the Coalition of African-American Pastors says supporters of traditional marriage are facing the same discrimination that blacks faced during the civil rights movement.

“Some people are saying because of the position that Chick-fil-A has taken - they don’t want them in their cities,” Rev. William Owens said at the National Press Club on Tuesday.

THESE GUYS HAVE COME UP WITH THE HARSHEST ATTACK SAYING THAT THIS DISCRIMINATION IS THE SAME AS DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

It's corrupted power in the political mind. It's unbridled power when God is mocked and diminished in public.

CHICK-FIL-A UPRISING: ACTIVISM SWEEPS AMERICA

All across the country, conservative activism ruled as “Chick-fil-a Appreciation” day proved to be a wild success, as stores nationwide were reportedly packed. The groundswell, fed in part by social media, was  impossible to ignore -- even the mainstream media noticed.
At 2:30pm at a packed Chick-Fil-A in Dallas, I spoke with several customers, and they all said they were eating there today in support of the company. One man told me he felt like was a chance, "to stand up and do something."

Pro-Gay Marriage ACLU Defends Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A may have an unlikely advocate in the controversy surrounding its support for traditional marriage.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which supports gay rights and other liberal issues, recently said the restaurant should not be discriminated against for its words and opinions.

Is it un-American to be a Christian?

Is it un-American to be a Christian?

By Star Parker

The current hate campaign being waged by homosexual activists against fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, because of the firm's Christian values, may well turn out to be a bridge too far. The effort may prove to be a setback for homosexual activism.

The vile attacks on the firm and its owners, the Cathy family, should make clear, finally, that the "gay rights" movement is not about refining and advancing American freedom, but about rewriting American values and advancing, not freedom, but the homosexual political agenda.

IT'S ABOUT REWRITING CHRISTIANITY! THAT HAS BEEN THE THORN IN THE SIDE OF THE "GAY RIGHTS" AGENDA AND THE PURPOSE IS TO CHANGE THAT.

Star Parker, words of superlative meaning to you for this article.

Thank you for this, "But UCLA law professor and constitutional scholar Eugene Volokh points out in his blog that 'denying a private business permits because of such speech by its owner is a blatant First Amendment violation.'

The Constitution? The First Amendment? Religious liberty? Do these apply to Christians?"

Exactly! That hallowed God given document is not going to be trampled on ... No no no, never!

Pastor: Blocking Chick-Fil-A Is ‘Anti-Religious, Agenda-Driven Bullying’

A Logan Square neighborhood pastor used the controversy over a proposal to build a new Chick-Fil-A restaurant in Chicago as part of his sermon Sunday, asking those opposed to the new franchise to reverse course.

Lyons calls Chick-Fil-A a poster child for practicing respect for its employees and customers, and spoke of the day when what he calls the “thought police” would come to his own church.

“We will meet them at the door, respectfully, unflinchingly holding a copy of the sacred scriptures in one hand and a copy of the U.S. Constitution in the other,” Lyons said.

KIND OF FEELS LIKE WE'RE AT WAR HERE! AND CHRISTIANS ARE NOT GOING TO BE MADE TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE UNAMERICAN BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE.

On the contrary.

The left keeps telling us how the founding fathers in our Constitution and the 2nd Amendments never would agree with the kind of guns we have today.

Well it can be said that the founders would be stunned and shocked at the rights for homosexuality and same sex marriage. You think?!

The mayors of these major cities are going to lose this battle as it is unconstitutional. You can not do this as there is no proof of Chick fil A ever discriminating against "gays". Never!

Dan Cathy has a right to speak his mind on same sex marriage Just as Jeff Immelt at NBC does. Those who disagree can choose not to eat the chicken sandwhich and we can turn off MSNBC as many of us do!

Important update on Chicago values: Non-inclusive Chick-fil-A out …

Important update on Chicago values: Non-inclusive Chick-fil-A out …

Allahpundit scoffed last night at Rahm Emanuel’s notion of “Chicago values,” which for most people will be forever declared by Sean Connery in The Untouchables:Video

The mayor insisted that Christians who believe in a biblical definition of marriage don’t fit into Emanuel’s vision for “Chicago values,” even though the owners of Chick-fil-A don’t discriminate in employment or service.  So what does fit into Emanuel’s idea of “Chicago values”?  Daniel Halper of the Weekly Standard found it in the pages of the Chicago Sun-Times — on the very day Emanuel pronounced Chick-fil-A not inclusive enough to be, er, included:

HOT AIR

TONY DIGIROLAMO

CHICAGO VALUES, RAHM EMANUEL'S VALUES, PROGRESSIVE'S VALUES AND THESE ARE VALUES THAT ARE ANTITHETICAL TO DAN CATHY'S AND THOSE HOLDING TO JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES.

Before all this same-sex marriage vitriol came to the discourse look at this.

This goes back to the Democrat Convention in 1992, Bill Clinton sneered and glared into the camera and said:

"Frankly, I'm fed up with politicians in Washington lecturing the rest of us about "family values." Our families have values. But our Government doesn't.

I want an America where "family values" live in our actions, not just in our speeches. An America that includes every family. Every traditional family and every extended family. Every two-parent family, every single-parent family, and every foster family. Every family."

Boy did he get all bent out of shape. He was getting a lot of heat on his support of homosexual rights at the time.

But we can see now where his values and the liberals were at the time and where he has taken the country after his win to the White House. Don't Ask Don't Tell, civil unions and now same sex marriage.

Chicago Values? What does that even mean?! The meaning is evolving and they ain't done yet.

Four more years of Obama and Democrats will be the end of civilization as we've known it.

That is not a stretch!

Hey, Boston: Leave Chick-fil-A alone

Hey, Boston: Leave Chick-fil-A alone

It's one thing for Hollywood moppets and television Muppets to protest Chick-fil-A over the fast-food chain president's support for traditional marriage. They're private citizens and entities. But when an elected public official wields the club of government against a Christian business in the name of "tolerance," it's not harmless kid stuff. It's chilling.

This week, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino declared, "Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in Boston." He recklessly slandered the company by accusing it of "discriminat(ing) against the population." And he warned ominously: "If they need licenses in the city, it will be very difficult -- unless they open up their policies."

Emanuel goes after Chick-fil-A for boss’ anti-gay views

The anti-gay views openly espoused by the president of a fast food chain specializing in chicken sandwiches have run afoul of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a local alderman, who are determined to block Chick-fil-A from expanding in Chicago.

“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,” Emanuel said Wednesday.

Gay Rights Group Petitions Against Chick-Fil-A, Plans ‘Kiss-In’

The gay rights group Equality Illinois is launching a campaign against Chick-Fil-A – petitioning universities and lawmakers to evict the fast food restaurant from their campuses and planning a “kiss-in” campaign by gay and lesbian couples outside Chick-Fil-A restaurants.

The campaign by the group comes just after Ald. Proco “Joe” Moreno (1st) announced plans to block efforts by Chick-Fil-A to open a second Chicago restaurant, because the company’s president vocally opposes same-sex marriage.

THE LGBT RISING IS A RISING FORCE IN THEIR HUMAN PASSION TRYING TO DESTROY CHRISTIANITY. THEY HAVE A PRESIDENT, AN ENTIRE POLITICAL PARTY AND THE MEDIA THAT HAVE THEIR BACKS.

This will get more intense as November draws closer. There needs to be a huge ground swell of God's Spirit of God's people to come against it.

While I write here I just heard a word from Pastor Mary Strickland while watching my churches Wednesday night service on my computer. She's teaching on Psalm 37 and it is appropriate here.

Psalm 37: 1-40 here is the bottom line of God's Word in verses 39 and 40, "But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him."

Pastor Mary I needed to hear that! Psalm 37: 17, "For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous."

Yeah I needed to hear that!

Dan Cathy oversees one of the country's most successful businesses. As president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A, Cathy leads a business with 1,608 restaurants that had sales of more than $4 billion dollars last year. They sell chicken and train employees to focus on values rooted in the Bible.

as an organization we can operate on biblical principles. So that is what we claim to be. [We are] based on biblical principles, asking God and pleading with God to give us wisdom on decisions we make about people and the programs and partnerships we have. And He has blessed us."

Chick-fil-A Called 'Anti-Gay' for Contributions to Pro-Marriage Groups

Chick-fil-A, the fast-food chicken restaurant chain known for its commitment to employing biblical beliefs in its business practices, is once again under attack by homosexual activists for its support of pro-traditional marriage organizations.

The most recent attacks come from an analysis by homosexual activists claiming that the company – primarily through the WinShape Foundation – has donated over a million dollars to organizations that promote family and Christian values such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes ($480,000), Family Research Council ($1000), the Marriage and Family Foundation ($1,188,380) and Exodus International ($1,000).
