No Harm, No Fowl A Victory Of Free Speech.

  The Constitution of the United States,  guarantees every American,  the right of freedom of speech. many Americans, exercised there right of free speech all across this nation yesterday as a  record number of patrons visited there local Chick-Fil-A and ordered  up a delicious Chick- Fil- A sandwich. the purpose of this exercise of personal freedom is quite clear everyone who owns a business, has a right to his or her personal opinion  on  gay marriage. CEO Dan Kathy, committed no crime by stating that he was in favor of the traditional definition of marriage. No doubt, the liberals,  on the far left in the press and the media thought that public pressure from three of the nations top liberal mayors would hurt Chick-Fil-A's bottom line. I suppose you could say,they certainly had a tremendous affect on Chick-Fil-A's business that is if one considers record sales a negative affect. As I see it, the liberals in the press and the media were certainly hoping that public pressure would cause CEO Dan Cathy, to suffer shall we say a very foul experience  as far as his company's profit margin was concerned, as it turns out however,  it appears that Chick-Fil-A and CEO Dan Cathy,  in particular suffered no harm  no foul and Chick-Fil-A's business couldn't be better it seems there are a great deal of folks who are fans of Chick-Fil-A and many of them  showed up yesterday all across this nation in support of Dan Kathy's right of free speech. A lot of people did buy a Chick-Fil-A sandwich now that's my kind of fowl experience!
  As early as tomorrow, may gay couples, many of which I wish would just fly the coup, will protest all across the country by standing in front of Chick-Fil-A restaurants and kissing in public now that's what I call a real foul expression of their freedom of speech but it is their right  to exercise their freedom of speech in this way and when they do I think it will go along way in practically assuring Mitt Romney's election as this nations president in November. Freedom of speech is always worth fighting for if we don't many in this country especially Christians, could lose there right of  free speech and don't kid yourself liberal progressives,  in the press and the media would just love that! Government,  is already trying to tell Christians,  what they can and cannot say just go into many of the department stores during the holidays and try to wish the sales clerks who work there a Merry Christmas. One would almost think such a greeting in it's self was a foul expression! These words from Thomas Paine, caught my eye for they express his views on personal liberty his words are as follows;"It is the duty of the patriot, to protect his country from it's government."
  I don't know that tomorrow's protest by many in the gay community will accomplish anything it may even strengthen the conservative and independent vote in this country the idea that it is going to hurt conservative traditional  Christians, dare I say it demonstrates a real fallacy, in their thinking. I wonder if it would be wrong to pray for foul weather tomorrow about the time of the gay protest? I suppose it would be wrong besides, it hasn't rained in this part of the country for a while now in fact to quote Shakespeare, "So fair and foul a  day, I have not seen." and tomorrow promises to be no different. For all of you who are proponents of proper grammar who may read  this blog the I meant to spell the word fowl the way I did in the title. I can assure you, I meant no harm and no foul when I thought of this blogs title.  As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
