Fuck you Rahm Emanuel

[BDKJMU]

1. KFC - the only one I've eaten, but it has been years, and I don't remember the last time.

2. Popeye's - just got on in the Cedar Falls area about 3 years ago. Don't have the urge to drive 20 minutes across town to get it as everyone I know who has had it say it is overrated.

3. Chick-Fil-A - Closest one to me is over an hour away....not driving an hour to try a fast food chicken sammy

4. Churches - now that I googled it I've heard of it....it's sold in gas stations up here

5. What the **** is a bojangles?

You find Churches and Bojangles near the ghetto. Fact.

I know black people like their fried chicken, but there is a Bojangles in Charlotte International Airport.

What a racist comment. So I say "ghetto" and you assume it's black people.

[Ibanez]

Lolos Chicken and Waffles is good.


Damn, I could go for some right now.

In Scottsdale?

For the night. I have to head to the middle of nowhere tomorrow, Twentynine Palms.

[93henfan]

Huh?

This

Talking about the AMC series Breaking Bad. AZ and I are on season 3 trying to catch up to current season 5 and Anal Jelly just spoiled an important fact.

[Skjellyfetti]

I'm sorry. But, that shit is almost a year old. Not my fault y'all are so far behind.

The last time I checked Dan Cathy was a private citizen and his speech is protected under the first amendment, whether a sector of the population agrees with it or not.

As for Rahm Emmanuel trying to block Chick-Fil-A from opening new restaurants in Chicago in a lawful manner, I can't think of a better way for Rahm to get his pants sued off.

One other thing... somewhere along the way it occured to me that freedom of speech only applies to liberals, and that the first rule of political correctness is this: Free speech only applies if such speech conforms to liberal orthodoxy, otherwise it is hate speech and must be censored.

[Skjellyfetti]

When has anyone said that Dan Cathy's speech isn't protected under the First Amendment?



And, blueballs.... weren't you the one threatening to boycott Georgia Southern for having Bill Ayers speak?

[ASUMountaineer]

Need a new poll for which is best. According to Wiki:

-KFC- #1 US chain, founded North Corbin, KY, HQ Louisville, 17k locations in all 50 states & 105 countries

-Chick Filet, #2 US chain, founded & HQ in Atlanta, 1600+ locations in 39 states, strongest concentration in southeast.

-Popeye's #3 US chain, founded Arabi, Louisiana, HQ Sand Springs, GA, 1800 restuarants in 40 states & 21 countries

-Church's: #4 US chain, founded San Antonio, HQ in Sandy Srings, GA, 1650 locations 23 countries.

-Bojangles: #5? US chain, founded & HQ in Charlotte, NC, close to 500 locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and DC).

Notice how they were all founded in the south, & the strongest concentration is in the south. Yes, us southern folk (I may live in PA but am from VA) do like our fried chicken!

1) What is Chick Filet?

2) I've eaten at all of these establishments and my ranking is:

1 - Chick-fil-a
2 - Bojangles
3 - Popeyes
4 - KFC
5 - Church's

[ASUMountaineer]

Prior to the past week or so I've only heard of 2 of those...and eaten 1....and that was years ago.

That sucks.

Chick-fil-a is awesome. There's a substantial fall as you move down the list. I live just outside of Charlotte, so I am biased toward Bojangles.

[ASUMountaineer]

I don't see how you can say that. Because he is honest in his convictions? Because he is of the opinion that marriage should be between one man and one woman?

Because he leaves his restaurants closed on Sundays because his convictions lead him to do that?

This whole thing is an excellent illustration of the fact that progressives/liberals believe in free thought only as long as that thought coincides with progressive/liberal belief. As soon as thought deviates from progressive/liberal belief, it must be repressed.

Oh for goodness sake.

Of course he has every right to express his beliefs. Just like any free thinking person such as myself has every right to ridicule those beliefs.

I could give a frogs fat ass whether or not he chooses to have his restaurants open on Sundays. I do however take exception to his support of denying people their constitutional rights which his company has actively done.

I thought you were pro-constitution?

Has Chick-fil-a actually denied any constitutional rights? To my knowledge, they do not discriminate in hiring against homosexuals (not a protected class) nor deny homosexuals the ability to purchase their product. Their only sin, as far as I can tell, is not being open on Sundays--which invariably, as others have mentioned, is when I crave Chick-fil-a.

The only thing I know of is the owner "came out" and stated that he was against gay marriage.

It's different if I say that. But when you represent a company, it takes the comment to a new level.

That's all I know of too.

Maybe so, but it doesn't mean he has denied constitutional rights.

I don't think he has. He just affirmed his position on gay rights.

Well I have no problem with someone disagreeing with him and not eating at his restaurants. But elected officials to deny him the right to open a restaurant in their cities is a pretty slippery slope. These mayors are elected to run the local government. Not to say who can and cannot do business there.

What about adult book stores? Don't churches always try to prevent them from opening nearby?

Last I checked churches weren't elected officials. I'm not against the gays protesting and boycotting Chic-fil-a.

Right. I would think that folks like Rahm Emanuel should just be patient. Perhaps Cathy's views will "evolve" just in time for them to allow Chick-fil-a to open a new store.

Except he donates millions to deny ME constitutional rights.

[death dealer]

That is true. But he is not a government official deciding who can and can't do business based on the owners personal beliefs. That is without a doubt an overreach of authority. I don't agree with his opinions, but I can't support any government punishing him or his company for them. That is dangerous shit and an awful precedent to set.

Rahm Emanuel is free to express his opinion about it... as are all citizens
but his actions need to be in alignment with the constitution (period)

The guy has demonstrated time and again that he's a sociopathic meglamaniac, and he knows full well this would never pass constitutional muster. He's just trying to stir up shit and garner attention for himself.

Which is why I think they are both idiots (as expressed earlier in this thread).

No doubt, but that is his constitutional right as well. I still have yet to see anyone show that Chick-fil-a denies employment or service to LGBT.
