Back2Stonewall has posted this item, which showcases how Chick-Fil-A has decided to sponsor an event for the anti-gay CCV.  I am disappointed.  I mean, I always knew Chick-Fil-A was a “Christian” business—but I didn’t know they did anything particularly crazy with their “Christianity.”  So I was willing to overlook that given how delicious I find their food to be.  But I will not overlook this.  Certainly businesses have the right to support whatever political cause they desire—just as I have the right to support a boycott of Chick-Fil-A due to their disgusting behavior.

Guest column by Robert Park

If I were a socialist,…

Cincinnati Tea Party on Hannity and McVeigh
Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Okay, so this isn’t particularly timely, or anything—but the other day I was reminded of that footage where people cheer while Sean Hannity calls Tea Party members “Tim McVeigh wannabes.”  So how would the local Tea Party leadership weigh in?

Corporate Democrats get more corporate dough than Republicans
Monday, April 07, 2008
 

They say, “He who pays the piper calls the tune”. The Wall Street Journal reports that Big business is bypassing McCain. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that of the 7 major industries that reliably support Republicans, all have given more to Clinton and Obama, except for 1. And even that 1 is a close call. The defense industry and the health industry have given much more to the Democrats.
