I completely agree with you QP MR2. I see that Chik-Fil-A had a record day Wednesday. I'm not sure how the "kiss-in" will go for them today but I am planning on going to see if any hot bi-sexual girls show up to show off.

Concur.
The left also did a fine job of illustrating their raison d'ętre..."we are enlightened, omnipotent and above all, tolerant - if you disagree with us - we will try and run your ass out of town..."
Oh, and Barry has sold some iron.
ETA add a video of one of the standard bearers for the left in this matter:

If this boycott keeps up much longer - Chick-Fil-A will need to double its locations !

Buncha slow learners with short memories - somebody should've remembered how that didn't work so well for the conservative Chrisitans/Jews/Muslims when they tried to boycott Disney 1995-2005.
Americans tend to rally around the target when it comes to anybody trying such Westboro Baptist-like bullying tactics.
And so it goes...

Let this disparity in support be reflected in the election results.

All Facts are not Facts
This is a must read article from the New York Review of Books. Maybe someone should forward it to Mayor Bloomberg, himself the head of a large corporation with its accompanying influence.
This almost deserves its own thread but it speaks to the 'certainty' with which Mayor Bloomberg asserts his understanding of the health decisions of millions of people he knows nothing about. Those 'medical experts' he's been listening to apparently don't always know best.
The author: Marcia Angell is a Senior Lecturer in Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and former Editor in Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine. Her latest book is The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It.
(April 2012)
Some choice quotes from this long read:
Quote:
|
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.
|
Quote:
|
No one knows the total amount provided by drug companies to physicians, but I estimate from the annual reports of the top 9 U.S.-based drug companies that it comes to tens of billions of dollars a year in North America alone.By such means, the pharmaceutical industry has gained enormous control over how doctors evaluate and use its own products. Its extensive ties to physicians, particularly senior faculty at prestigious medical schools, affect the results of research, the way medicine is practiced, and even the definition of what constitutes a disease.
|
Now I realize that a drug company would likely be in favor of selling formula to mothers instead of encouraging breast feeding in this case, but the overall point is that political leaders cannot trust even top university medical researchers to produce objective studies in the current climate of corporate influence on medicine.
When the former head of the New England Journal of Medicine tells you to trust your gut over the latest fashionable study, it makes you wonder how politicians can legislate choices away from patients with any kind of conscience.

King Bloomberg is about to get his ass handed to him...
It's nice to see that King Bloomberg is about to get his royal ass handed to him in court. Beside wasting the "people's" money defending his moronic "decree" this is socialism and it needs to stop.
(I'm not defending the soda companies either, I don't drink caramelized sugar water period.) I did take notice that King Bloomberg did not ban cigarettes, the King knows who fills "his" royal coffers, even if it kills his subjects.
Industry Sues Over Sugary-Drinks Crackdown
The American Beverage Association and others sued the city FridayFriday, Oct 12, 2012 | Updated 4:53 PM EDT
Soft-drink makers, restaurateurs and other businesses are suing to block the city's move to end the sale of super-sized, sugary drinks in many eateries.
The American Beverage Association and others sued the city Friday. City officials had no immediate response.
The city Board of Health approved the unprecedented regulation last month. It would stop restaurants, cafeterias and concession stands from selling soda and other high-calorie drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces.
The rule is set to take effect in March.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg calls it a reasonable, promising way to curb obesity.
The lawsuit says the unelected health board shouldn't be telling people how much soda to drink. The suit also says the rule "burdens consumers and unfairly harms small businesses."

Good for the American Beverage Association, thats a lawsuit I can support. In the end though its the taxpayers and consumers who will be footing the bill for this nanny state attitude that exists in the big apple.
