Rush on Chick-fil-A: The target is Christianity
Rush says the homosexual and Leftist attack on Chick-fil-A is really an attack on Christianity. Everyone should know that but no one in the MSM is publicizing that notion. GOOD FOR RUSH! Also the Lesbian actress – Jane Lynch – of the TV show Glee proclaimed in public at a roast for Rosanne Barr: “F*** Chick-fil-A”. You are darn toot’in the Chick-fil-A attack is an attack on Christianity!

Sarah Palin joins the call for Chick-fil-A day support on August 1 AND faces up to former VP Dick Cheney’s criticism of her selection as the 2008 VP nomination.
Here is a snippet Cheney’s criticism of Palin:

Palin was just as qualified to be a Presidential candidate as then Senator Barack Hussein Obama who was a first termer with no Executive experience. On the other hand Palin had a successful Executive Branch in her first two years as Governor of Alaska. Palin’s only weakness was growing weary of Leftists lying about her family and her own Alaskan Congress coming up with frivolous ethics investigations in which she was CLEARED; however Alaskan Dems were relentless as was the MSM in smearing Palin.
So Palin packed her bags as Governor of Alaska and has proceeded with a hugely successful campaign of supporting Tea Party candidates across the USA. Alaska’s loss was the Tea Party Movement’s gain even though to my knowledge Palin has no formal ties to any particular Tea Party organization.
I am about to cross post an article from The Blazes that talks about Palin’s support for Chick-fil-A first and then addresses Cheney’s criticism. The Blaze has some video from a Greta Van Susteren interview. At the end of my thoughts here I am going to snip the part in which Palin quite correctly points to the error of Cheney’s thinking on her being a VP choice in 2008.

Sarah Palin Delivers Passionate Response to Dick Cheney‘s Claim That She Was a ’Mistake’ & Calls Chick-fil-A Protests ‘Bigoted’
August 1, 2012 at 7:47am
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was in rare form last night when she joined FOX News’ Greta Greta VanSusteren to discuss issues ranging from the Chick-fil-A controversy to Vice President Dick Cheney’s statement that she was a poor choice for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008.
The segment opened with the controversy surrounding the fast-food chain. VanSusteren asked Palin why she was jumping in to support the restaurant (recently, Palin Tweeted in support of Chick-fil-A). Rather than focusing upon the issue of gay marriage, Palin said her support was rooted in a dislike for the ban that has been advanced against the company.
“I’m speaking up for him and his First Amendment rights and anyone else who would wish to express their — not anti-gay people sentiment — but their support for traditional marriage,” Palin said, referring to Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy. “President Obama and Joe Biden — they both supported the exact same thing until just a few months ago when they had to flip-flop to shore up the homosexual voter base.”
The politician went on to call the poor treatment of Chick-fil-A and the calls for bans on the food establishment ”intolerant, bigoted, hypocritical“ and ”narrow-minded.”
As for Cheney, who recently said that it was “a mistake” for Palin to be chosen for vice-president in 2008, the former Alaskan governor had plenty to say. When VanSusteren asked Palin about this statement, she passionately responded, saying that she was honored to have been chosen as a candidate and that it would have been a mistake for her not to accept the nomination. Here’s her full response:
“The mistake would have been me just deciding that, ‘Hey I love my 86, 87 percent approval rating up there in Alaska as the governor moving and shaking and watching corrupt politicians and businessmen to go prison for crony capitalism. Working on 16 to 20 percent of domestic energy supplies being able to be increased via Alaska’s resource development. Ethics reform legislation that I was working on — that led to that 86 percent approval rating.
I could have decided, you know, I don’t want to be blooded up, I don’t want my family to go through what we will have to go through in order to put ourselves forward in the name service to this country. But I did it. It would have been a mistake to have hunkered down — just lived that luxurious…comfortable lifestyle in Alaska…We like so many people in this country decided, we will do all that we can in order to defend our republic, put America back on track. And I believe I did the right thing in accepting that call.”

Chick-Fil Shows How Religious Freedoms Are Being Lost
Ann Matos got my attention commenting on an article by Thomas Messner who writes that the Leftist and Homosexual activist attack on the Family Values promoted by Chick-Fil-A.
Messner’s point is that all the Leftist talk to ban Chick-Fil-A is just one more symptom of utilizing political power and money-sucking litigation to force Christians to be quiet about Biblical Morality.
Friends that is so evil that I can say that is Satanic.

Chick-Fil Shows How Religious Freedoms Are Being Lost

Use the above link to read a chilling article how Christians who express their conscience are being placed under legal, cultural and economic pressure to recant. I feel these are signs of the end times and may indeed be unstoppable. However, for the sake of our nation, for what it once was, for what it can be again, I haven’t yet given up hope that this situation can be reversed. After all, when Jonah went to Ninevah, they repented. Who knows? Maybe we will yet have a great revival — a time of renewed Christian committment (sic), as Billy Graham prays for. I still believe … … …

Chick-fil-A Latest Example of How Same-Sex Marriage Threatens Religious Freedom
July 30, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Same-sex marriage combined with nondiscrimination policies will result in significant discrimination against individuals and institutions that hold to the belief that marriage is—and should be defined in law as—the union of one man and one woman.
In the latest illustration of how this will happen, a Chickkago alderman recently explained that he plans to block the Chickkken restaurant Chick-fil-A from building a new restaurant in his ward because he is offended by the belief of the company’s owners that marriage is between one man and one woman.
“There are consequences for one’s actions, statements and beliefs,” the official stated. “Because of this man’s ignorance, I will deny Chick-fil-A a permit to open a restaurant in my ward.”
Under pressure, this official might attempt to alter his rationale for targeting Chick-fil-A—or even back down altogether like the mayor of Boston did when he was criticized for targeting Chick-fil-A in his city.
However it turns out, though, the Chick-fil-A situation certainly adds to the growing list of cases illustrating how individuals and institutions that continue to support marriage as one man and one woman will likely face a variety of significant burdens:
§ A Christian photographer in New Mexico who refused to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony was hauled before a human rights tribunal and forced to pay nearly $6,700 in attorneys’ fees to the complainant;
§ Christian charities have been forced to stop providing foster care and adoption services because they cannot in good conscience comply with laws that would require them to violate beliefs about marriage and family;
§ Boy Scouts of America has lost equal access to public facilities and programs because of its position on open homosexuality;
§ A graduate student claims that she was expelled from a public university counseling program after she conscientiously objected to counseling a potential client seeking assistance regarding a homosexual relationship; and
§ A Christian organization at a public university was denied official recognition because it required officers and voting members to adhere to traditional Christian teachings, including a prohibition on extramarital sex.
This is not “live and let live.” This is the state—and sometimes private citizens and the culture at large—punishing people who refuse to recant their belief that marriage is the union of a husband and wife.
This kind of thing happens because proponents of same-sex marriage declare support for marriage as one man and one woman to be a form of irrational prejudice and bigotry similar to racism. In this view, support for marriage as one man and one woman is the kind of belief that should be purged from public life through legal, cultural, and economic pressure.
This is precisely what is happening right now to Chick-fil-A.
Defending marriage takes courage. For more stories of people who have demonstrated courage in standing for marriage as one man and one woman, visit the website of the Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance, a group that stands up for people who stand up for marriage.
