They are convinced they control our thoughts. I think the headline "11 Business Leaders That Put Anti Gay Companies Like Chick Fil A to Shame" is pretty harsh and very transparent. [/quote] I just posted this in another thread but will post it here as well. [i]The man was exercising his right to not do something that was against his conscience (like whatever the toy was). Ever hear of a conscientious objector? They allow this as a reason to not serve in the military because we do have freedom of religion & that freedom of religion and the right to make decisions based on your conscience should also be extended to owners of businesses. If it is not then we do not have freedom of religion and conscience.[/i] [/quote] [b]This is only about freedom of speech[/b]; the news does not want you all to figure that part out. So they twist the truth to a controllable subject. This is why I use the old liberal arguments against them. Like this video. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BysLCCLdWKA[/youtube] [/quote] DERP, a corporation is not a person, it is not afforded rights under the Constitution like people are: http://www.jrdeputyaccountant.com/2012/08/small-minded-americans-everywhere.html Dan Cathy can say whatever he wants but he spoke on behalf of the corporation. That was the first problem. The second - and I cannot believe GLP hasn't figured THIS out - is that it's all one big f%^&ing distraction. Anything to get the left to argue with the right and vice versa, so long as the sheep stay busy while we're going to h-e-double-hockey-sticks in a handbasket and the banksters are making off with the last of the scraps. THAT part of the plan seems to have worked quite well, wouldn't you say? Unfortunately it also means the sheep have forgotten all about the Colorado shooter experiment and now we're not going to let them take our guns because we're too busy arguing about trivial things like whether guys deserve to do each other up the butt in holy matrimony. Come on, wake up, people, you're supposed to be the most awake of them all. It's all a front. What's REALLY happening in the world right now that you're missing because you're busy even discussing this nonsense?! [/quote] hmm, well corporations are considered people when they donate to campaign funds, right? [/quote]

Going to explain to people what CFA day was really about, it was a failed viral marketing campaign designed to get a list out of specific companies to boost those company’s profits that back fired against the organizers.
This is only about money to these companies that tried this stunt and it was a stunt that went 100% opposite of what the organizers wanted. They did not take in to account for a lot of things and it bit them back.
We even had gay rights groups protesting the anti-chick-fil-a protesters because it’s not about gay this or gay that it’s about your right to make a statement only.
It has been spun three ways from Sunday literally, but it is not about what the news wants you to think it is about.
This all started with a list I will not post from a few weeks ago, that was going through the activist communities of big business you should spend money with. Most of the big companies could care less about what they support as long as it adds to their bottom line. So they picked a target to get the list out in the news, the list died a painful death and what is left is people supporting a company for a multitude of reasons, not just the reason the news is trying to spin to YOU the consumer of that news.
The organizers failed at their viral marketing and all they did was give CFA a lot of free press that CFA could not buy if it tried.
One more thing about that list of companies I will not list, do not trust their efforts and take their words at face value they do not care about the causes they claim to care about, they just want to increase their bottom line period, they are mad they are not getting this business after all it was their plan!
Edit; I did end up posting that list below.
