What the hell is wrong with America, did the whole nation suffer a massive head trauma?
Imagine, we have people losing their homes, we have little foster kids going without the
necessities, we have drought causing impending shortages of food and rising prices.
Bridges, roads and civic governments going broke, the possibility of another serious and
I mean serious recession coming, we have people mass killing each other as if it were
some kind of sport with over 300 million guns, and snap happy trigger fingers to march.
We have a less that adequate leadership in Washington being opposed by a nut bar
and an asylum full of Congressmen. and what do we fight over.
The Personal Beliefs of the owner of a Sandwich shop chain there couldn't be anything
more important than this could there?
As for his beliefs they are his, beliefs even though they cross the line into bigotry. And
yes I dare to use that ugly word which applies when people hate others for who they are.
One might hate someone for some dastardly deed they did to others that is different but
to hate someone because they are gay, black, left handed and God knows what else, it
is bigotry. I would not shop there knowing this person harbours hatred for others for who
they are, and I guess I won't have my burger at Wendy's for a while either.
Free speech and freedom of expression were designed to be used responsibly and not
just as a means of flapping one's lips. I have no problem with differing opinions.
However I have a problem when people who are supposed to be living in a enlightened
civilized society behave like children who have not developed their manners yet.
This is not to say that the folks who are gay are always better, I hear a lot of insults and
flapping lips from that side too, mostly reacting to ignorance, but return ignorance is no
excuse. If the right feels, they triumphed promoting ignorance I can understand that as
I see Romney and the Tea Party flapping their gums daily.
