Writer Sinclair Lewis is credited with saying, “When
fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.”
Close, but not quite. Truth is, fascism has come to
America; but it’s wrapped in a rainbow flag and waving, well, let’s just say it
sure ain’t waving a cross. With its latest wave of scorched-earth malfeasance,
the radical left has awakened freedom-loving America to this reality.
Liberals learned a hard lesson on Wednesday. While the
generally silent majority was showing exuberant support for free speech, the institution
of true marriage and Chick-fil-A, “progressives” were gorging themselves on
crow sandwiches doused in bitter hate. While Chick-fil-A was eating at
liberals, millions of God-fearing Americans were eating at Chick-fil-A.
It was glorious. Those who would silence free speech were
shouted down through an unprecedented – dare I say miraculous – show of unity
in the body of Christ. Millions of God-fearing Americans took part in the
“buy-cott” as Chick-fil-A’s cup runneth over.
It was a beautiful thing to behold. It made you proud to be an American. Most of the characteristically cocky “progressive” blogs and “news” sites observed radio silence as left-wing elitists – media, activists, politicos and pundits – sat in stunned disbelief.
Their wrongheaded Chick-fil-A boycott had backfired
catastrophically.
Quite troubling, however, was when this predictable
“progressive” hissy left the realm of comedy and breached the realm of tyranny.
Multiple elected officials – all Democrats – disgraced both themselves and the
offices they hold by pledging to shut Chick-fil-A down, simply because they
disagree with its leadership’s biblical viewpoint.
But the American people stood strong. In response to
illegal threats by the mayors of Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and
Philadelphia to ban Chick-fil-A from their respective jurisdictions, the
residents of those great cities rebuked these Constitution-dumping donkeys with
“freedom chicken” lines that wrapped-around city blocks. “Mayor Emanuel,” they
declared, “your godless values are not ‘Chicago Values!’”
In fact, Pastor Rick Warren tweeted that Chick-fil-A COO
Dan Cathy called him to say that sales for Wednesday smashed all records. (Put
that in your “progressive” pipe and smoke it, lefties.)
Still, not to be outdone, liberals were determined to
beat a dead chicken. As liberty-loving folks peacefully showed support for real
marriage with nuggets and waffle fries on Wednesday, “gay” activists held a
pathetically attended “kiss-in” at various Chick-fil-A locations on Friday.
We couldn’t ask for a starker contrast. Whereas marriage
supporters peacefully patronized Chick-fil-A to demand tolerance for varying
viewpoints, homosexual activists engaged in gross, sexually charged public
displays deliberately designed to shock and offend children and families.
Disgusting. (Please, do keep it up, though, liberals.
True colors are brightest. America is watching. Oh, and the vandalism, bomb
threats and bullying of teenage girls working at Chick-fil-A? Nice touch!)
Nonetheless, I believe “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” was
just the appetizer – a foretaste of things to come. In November, America serves
Obama and Democrats the main course.
And the Democratic Party is helping itself not one little
bit. Leading up to Wednesday, a platform change was announced. Hard-left
extremists within the party are moving to endorse what some have dubbed, with
plain-spoken accuracy, “sodomy-based marriage.”
At a time when record numbers of Democrats in the House
and Senate face the very real threat of ouster, the DNC has inexplicably opted
to put its stamp of approval on the radical redefinition of marriage – the
fundamental cornerstone of any healthy society.
Already nervous, Democrats in at-risk districts are now
popping anti-depressants like Pez. They have reason to freak out; especially
when you consider that the Democratic Party itself remains robustly divided
over this highly controversial issue.
Republicans’ response? Oh please, please don’t throw us
in that briar patch.
Of course, Wednesday’s massive outpouring of support for
Chick-fil-A provided a visual reminder to all concerned that the vast majority
of morally minded Americans reject the oxymoronic notion of so-called “same-sex
marriage.” It proved with earthshaking resonance that liberals’ whole
“gay-marriage-is-inevitable” thingy remains as sterile as the fraudulent
concept itself.
Don’t forget, we live in a constitutional republic where
“we the people” are the sovereign, and elected officials are the hired help.
When “we the people” have spoken on marriage, we’ve spoken without stuttering.
Thirty-two states have voted on it, and 32 states have
protected it via constitutional amendment. Marriage is as marriage was and will
be forevermore: the joining of man and wife.
But hey, Democrats made their silly mock-marriage bed,
they can sleep in it.
Still, there’s another white paper bag full of goodies to
take home from Chick-fil-A. Executives from corporations, large and small,
should sit up and take notice. Don’t be intimidated by insufferable
homo-fascist organizations like the incongruously tagged “Human Rights
Campaign” and GLAAD, the “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.” Their
bark is much, much worse than their bite.
No, you’ve just seen a highly successful business model
in action. It’s simple: 1) Publicly acknowledge God’s objective, transcendent
truth; 2) Infuriate the toothless “progressive” establishment, prompting calls
for boycotts and empty threats to ban you; and 3) Rake in the cabbage.
Stand up for what’s right, good and true, and America’s
got your back.
So be encouraged. Despite liberals’ best efforts, freedom
of speech, God’s design for marriage and reverence for sexual morality are
alive and well in America. There is still hope for this great nation.
But not without a fight.
The line in the sand has been drawn.
It’s perverse “pride” versus patriotism. Liberal lies
versus truth. Tyranny versus freedom.
On which side will you stand?
