Re: Fully support his right to say what he wants so long as it

It goes both ways...Since we've heard how hate spewing, the ChicAflick CEO is...Here's the other side of the coin.
copied from Snopes, regarding a contrasting CEO.
The writer flavors the article, but that's no different than the media does everyday.

----------
What you might not know is that the chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the largest funders of the left in America . He's your typical rich spoiled kid who took over the company from his father and apparently feels "guilty" for his success and now dedicates himself to making it impossible for anyone else to become wealthy.

Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what's left of America's Judeo-Christian heritage. Indeed, Lewis is himself an ACLU member. One of the ACLU projects he earmarked his funds for was an effort to sue school districts who have drug testing policies. In other words, this idiot wants teachers to be able to use drugs without fear of exposure. I wonder what he would think if all his own employees came to work drugged out every day.

Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org and American Coming Together, two key components of the socialist left. The former group is perhaps the main group used by the Obama forces to organize their activists; the latter group is a 527 political action group that essentially served as a front for the SEIU union thugs who ran ACORN. His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the international socialist who finances much of the Obama political network.

It's disturbing that Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the free enterprise system. He reminds me somewhat of Armand Hammer, the former head of Occidental Petroleum who did business with Joseph Stalin and became his good friend, around the same time Stalin was executing businessmen all over the USSR .

What angers me further is the way this company is targeting television shows watched by conservatives such as Fox News. Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans so that he can destroy our country. He's banking on no one finding out who he is. I think it's time we expose this clown.

Origins: In 2009, Forbes magazine ranked Peter Lewis at #366 on its list of the richest Americans, pegging his net worth at just over $1 billion. Lewis acquired his wealth primarily through his stewardship of Cleveland-based Progressive Insurance, a company co-founded by his father in 1937. When he assumed the position of CEO of Progressive in 1965, Lewis took over a business with about 100 employees and $6 million in yearly revenue; forty years later, Progressive had become the third largest auto insurer in the United States,
employing over 27,000 people with yearly revenues topping $13 billion. (Lewis stepped down from his role as Progressive Insurance's CEO in 2000, so he now is neither an executive of that company nor involved in its day-to-day management. He continues to hold the position of chairman of the board of the Progressive Corporation and is that entity's single largest individual shareholder.)
There's two or more sides to everything...Who's ox is getting...well you know. That was a word from Page 2, as Paul Harvey used to say. LOL Everyone has fingerprints and an opinion. The world would be pretty boring if it didn't.

The guy was asked some questions and he answered honestly. We should not be surprised that he did. After all, if he is willing to loose the revenue to follow his convictions about Sundays, then he's obviously willing to risk negative blowback to answer honestly about his opinions on marriage.

For answering honestly, and because some disagree with his opinions, elected officials of some of the largest cities in America have suggested they will use the influence and power of their office to negatively impact Chic-fil-a's business. And, various groups that disagree with his opinions are organizing protests and boycotts of Chic-fil-a. You may consider these actions justifiable, but I hardly see how these actions would not be considered attacks. It is perhaps the blowback that was to be expected, but unfortunately for the small minority who are offended by his comments, their overreaching response has stirred the vast majority to action.

Same way in Seneca, line is well over a 100 yards to go in

Is all this in support of the 1st Amendment? Or just for

As a Christian, I support Chick-fil-A on the free speech

So if they they came out for gay marriage and

what's the point of this hypothetical?

Hey I'm all for freedom of relgion

Fully support his right to say what he wants so long as it

Re: Fully support his right to say what he wants so long as it

terrible comparison….

As a non-Christian, I support Chick-fil-A on the free speech

For me it is both 1st amendment and God's word

Isn't ChickFila a restaurant and not a church?

For me it's about the 1st Amendment. I think it's BS that
