American Ideals

August 1, 2012 was a great day in America. People across the country supported “Freedom of Speech.” Although unpopular, the owner of the fast food chain “Chick-fil-A” gave his opinion on a Christian radio station in which he express that he believed that marriage was between a man and a woman. Various groups including left wing politicians express their disapproval of said opinion and called for a nationwide boycott. However, Americans across the nation rallied up and expressed their support. The lines were incredibly long, and men and women brought their children in an open support to this American fast food chain (which by the way has created more jobs than Obama). The controversy has to do with the misunderstanding of the situation. It appears that some groups (including some so-called Christians) are making this issue about Christianity vs. Homosexuals. I read an article in which a Christian stated that he wasn’t going to eat there (today) because it wasn’t turning the cheek as Jesus would have done. Another Christian who stated that he was standing up for what is right; expressed his outrage because Christians were expressing hatred, being judgmental, and gossiping. (If anything he was the one judging all Christians; he was the one being self-righteous!) The truth is that the Chick-fil-A rallies were about a man expressing his opinion on marriage; his opinion on marriage happens to be a time tested position and world view-the same view that Barak Hussein Obama expressed as recently as 2008 (He recently stated that his view on marriage has since “evolved.”) The people who went out and showed their support were not bigots, they were not hateful; they were Americans who believe in Freedom of Speech, Americans who hold on to American ideals and family values, that was what the rallies were about.

  God bless America!
