Chick-fil-A: Lies, Truth, Confusion, and Abandonment

Chick-fil-A: Lies, Truth, Confusion, and Abandonment

For years, MassResistance.com has performed yeoman’s service on behalf of the institutions of the American family and traditional marriage. It has valiantly, almost uniliterally, fought against concerted efforts by the Lesbian-Bisexual-Gay-Transgendered movement to subvert both those institutions and to seduce the youth of America into the sick,smarmy world of homosexuality.

MassResistance hasn’t surrendered in that ongoing struggle but has announced it will cease in its efforts to defend Chick-fil-A but not for the reasons you might suspect.

Despite widespread reports to the contrary, Chick-fil-A hasn’t reneged on its commitment to supporting organizations working on behalf of the American family and traditional marriage but the company’s confused dealings with those calculatedly-false reports have frustrated the good folks at MassResistance to such an extent that they are giving up.

Far too much to summarize, the full MassResistance explanatory e-mail follows in its entirety:
 UPDATE: New information on the accusations that Chick-fil-A caved in to the homosexual movement’s demands.

 In our last email, dated Sept. 21, we excoriated Chick-fil-A and its CEO Dan Cathy for allegedly caving in to the demands of the homosexual movement. Our title was: Chick-fil-A caves in to homosexual pressure. Agrees not to donate to pro-family groups in exchange for permission to put restaurant in Chicago. Slap in the face to pro-family supporters.

It appears that this is largely not true. We’ve published the truth below. But finally finding that out wasn’t easy. This is definitely one of the most exasperating news stories we’ve ever covered. Getting to the facts has entailed wading through a lot of confusion generated by the homosexual movement, the pro-family movement, and especially Chick-fil-A itself.

What was reported in the press

Our email quoted from the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Times, Huffington Post, and a homosexual press release. They all basically reported the following: Chick-fil-A officials had told Chicago Alderman Joe Monero in writing that the company would no longer donate any money to “anti-gay,” pro-family groups.

Chick-fil-A also allegedly showed documentation that they had not recently given money to such groups.

The company supposedly also promised to make an internal statement about non-discrimination on sexual orientation. In doing this, Chick-fil-A reportedly had negotiated with Moreno and also a Chicago homosexual activist group called “Civil Rights Agenda.”

In return, as Monero gleefully announced, he would not block Chick-fil-A’s efforts to open a restaurant in his trendy Chicago district. He termed this a “great victory for the gay rights movement.”

Several newspapers contacted Chick-fil-A for their comments on this, but the company refused to respond except to direct them to a statement on their website. . .

God, Cardinal Dolan, and Obama's MSM

God, Cardinal Dolan, and Obama's MSM

If you missed the benediction offered by Cardinal Timothy Dolan at the end of the 2012 Democrat National Convention, you had plenty of company.  To say the least, television coverage of the bishop of the New York Archdiocese was spotty. 

The DNC was forced to invite Dolan since he is a highly influential bishop of the Catholic Church who had spoken at the GOP confab the previous week and Barack Hussein Obama desperately needs some Catholic votes in November, especially after his administration has declared Obamacare war against Catholics’ freedom to practice their religion. 

However, that grudging invite didn’t compel Obama’s mainstream media to afford Dolan any attention since to do so would undercut their commitment to his re-election at all costs.  The cardinal was allowed to speak to the thousands at the convention but that didn’t mean the president’s MSM would allow their audience of millions to listen.  

Fox News and C-SPAN were the only networks to cover the cardinal’s  concluding prayer.  Viewers on ABC, CNN, and PBS could faintly hear his words and could barely see him in the distant background while their pundits analyzed Thursday night’s session in Charlotte and MSNBC, CBS, and NBC dutifully and totally ignored everything he said. 

The cardinal concluded his impassioned benediction by thanking the Almighty “for the great gift of our beloved country.  For we are indeed ‘one nation under God,’ and ‘in God we trust.’  So, dear God, bless America. You who live and reign forever and ever.  Amen!” 

During his brief prayer, Cardinal Dolan also touched upon other issues near and dear to the hearts of all true Christians, including the sanctity of all human life, protecting and saving the lives of the pre-born, and preserving the institution of traditional marriage, all issues far from the hearts and minds of Democrats at the DNC.

Along with the deity, those concepts had been roundly trashed at the convention which enthusiastically endorsed free abortion on demand, supported free  birth control for all the Sandra-Flukers out there who demand that the public pay for their condoms, and advocated for the right of everyone to marry anyone and everything they so desired.  

The benediction lacked the drama of a former president who regarded the current president as a joke in 2008 . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27931.)
