GOP Tea Party To Boycott Scott Van Duzer's Restaurant.
FOR WHAT?
Please share this: I cannot believe how sick the GOP Tea Party really is... Boycott Scott Van Duzer’s restaurant… FOR WHAT? If these jerks ever, I mean EVER get control of our country there will be NO civility in America for a long, long time, only HATE and meanness will prevail. I for one, am thoroughly disgusted! thinkingblue

As citizens we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. I turn on the TV and I see these grown people screaming at each other, and I think, well, if we don't get our civility back, we're in trouble.

PS: This is how A LIBERAL saw the visit by President Obama to Scott Van Duzer's restaurant. I THANK ALL THAT IS GOOD... I'M LIBERAL!
Where Chicken Little Is Served Up With a Side Order Of Hate
A restaurant serving up hate and marginalizing a whole group of people; Actually, encouraging their patrons to feel hatred and claiming that bigotry is GODLY. It's not only priceless, it’s mind boggling. thinkingblue
EXCERPT: Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and former Republican presidential candidate had declared Wednesday, Aug. 1, as “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” in support of the company “whose executives are willing to take a stand for Godly values.” He wants people to celebrate those values “by simply showing up and eating” at the fast food restaurant.
(TAKE A STAND FOR GODLY VALUES!!! SAY WHAT? If there was a supernatural MAN IN THE SKY do you honestly believe he would approve of HATE and BIGOTRY towards HIS prized creation, MAN? I doubt it!thinkingblue)
EXCERPT: Bishop Gene Robinson, the first gay Bishop in the Episcopal Church, has a new book,”God Believes in Love: Straight Talk About Gay Marriage.”
“What would Jesus think about two men and two women getting married?” he asks in his book. “According to the accounts of the life of Jesus as recorded by the Gospels, Jesus never said anything about sexually intimate relationship between people of the same gender. Nor did he comment on sexual behavior between people of the same gender. Period.”
According to the president of the company, Dan Cathy, “We don’t claim to be a Christian business. But as an organization we can operate on biblical principles.
{{{{{ The question is, what are biblical principles? }}}}
Bishop Robinson points out that Jesus was “consistently on the side of those who were outcast by society and bore the unfair burden of disdain, discrimination, and prejudice.”
EXCERPT: Equality Matters published a report on Chick-fil-A's charitable work that found that the chain donated nearly $2 million to anti-gay groups in 2010. Among those to reportedly receive donations include the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian organization that has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/02/ chick-fil-a-has-record-setting-day-anti-gay_n_1733697.html
