It’s not enough for Lefties to simply refuse to eat at Chick-fil-a, because, let’s face it, they are hyper-partisan and intolerant of anything that diverges from their rigid dogma. No, now they are going wacky with their petitions
(WSJ) The publisher of the Berenstain Bears children’s books is being urged to cut ties with Chick-fil-A because of its president’s statements opposing gay marriage.
Three organizations said Wednesday they delivered petitions with 80,000 signatures to HarperCollins. The petitions demand the New York-based publishing house end the Berenstain Bears’ affiliation with the national fast-food chain and say the beloved bears teach the importance of standing against bigotry.
The petitions urge HarperCollins to follow the lead of the Jim Henson Co., which pulled its Muppet toys from Chick-fil-A kids’ meals. A similar campaign with Berenstain Bears is slated for this month.
Now, why would anyone suggest that Lefties are anti-free speech and anti-business?
Well, they might be successful here because if I recall, the authors of BBears are fairly lefty.
And, it’s their right to petition against something they don’t believe in. We conservatives have petitioned companies to not be part of some lefty event here or there. Or even some foul liberal talker.
But, you are right, they are the ones usually attacking the right and christians for being intolerant. But, they sure seem to be quick with the “shut up” movements.
Right on all accounts.
Personally I rarely get involved in boycott campaigns. Some, like AFA, go too far with their right side boycotts. With liberals, though, it’s never enough to say “we just won’t shop there”: they attempt to destroy the business. If one disagrees with liberal doctrine, no matter how minor, they must be treated like the KKK.
Teach Chick A Fil contributes a lot of money to anti gay groups. Of course every one has the right to be anti gay or anti semetic or antigay military. BUT others do NOT have to be silent about this.
