I am going to Chick-Fil-A today, and I’m taking the whole family. We’re not doing it to make a stand against gays, which is a scurrilous charge hurled by the inquisitors on the left.
No, we're going there to shout out a big STFU to the petty potentates and little tin horn dictators who look upon their municipalities as their own personal fiefdoms. Go google Chicago’s alderman system. Any one of them sure as hell does have total veto power over what goes on in his or her ward, which probably has something to do with it being the most corrupt city in the nation.
Eating at Chick-Fil-A is a slap in the face to those doctrinaire statists and politically-correct progressives who would tell us what we must think and how we must live.
Free Exercise of Religion
Too many lefty talking points rely on cheap tricks and word-bending rather than logic, reason and an appeal to an easily–understandable philosophy.
One example of this is the use of the phrase “Freedom of Worship,” which has no origin other than in the infected minds of progressive propagandists. This fanciful term is employed to plant in the minds of citizens that this right ceases once you cross the temple threshold and enter the public square. “You’re free to worship in the Church or Synagogue, but leave it there!”
That is wrong. Here’s what the First Amendment to the US Constitution says:
All of our natural rights are like that. Laws that ban certain foods or herd and nudge us like cattle go against the concept of the rule of law and are therefore illegitimate and in violation of the spirit of the constitution.
That is wrong. Here’s what the First Amendment to the US Constitution says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (1st Amendment to the US Constitution)Government shall not prohibit the free exercise of your religious beliefs and action. Findlaw has commentary on the “Free Exercise of Religion” clause here, and it explains that protecting this right has been a balancing act over the centuries. The salient point is that this right was never understood to be severely circumscribed, but rather, like our other natural rights, it is free flowing and includes your right to put your beliefs into action, so long as you break no civil laws.
All of our natural rights are like that. Laws that ban certain foods or herd and nudge us like cattle go against the concept of the rule of law and are therefore illegitimate and in violation of the spirit of the constitution.
So Chairman Mao Bloomberg can stick a 16 ounce soda where the sun don’t shine, Rahmboy can get back to presiding over Chicago’s collapse, and maybe Beantown Mayor Menino should take a contemplative walk along the freedom trail to ponder the meaning of its name.
