1.
Chick-fil-a is yummy. Their waffle fries
are one of the few fast food things I ever actually crave. There, I said it.
2.
This boycott needs more supporters than all my vegetarian friends who think
Whole Foods is too commercial if it’s going to get much traction.
3. The picture of those EWTN Poor Claire Nuns
with their Chik-fil-a bags makes me wonder whatever happened to papal cloister
and the hidden life. They neatly illustrate what a malleable term “conservative” has become.
4. There’s a nasty class element in a lot of the
righteous progressive pronouncements being made about people who eat at Chik-Fil-A
that is just as repugnant as anything Dan Cathy may believe.
5.
Any number of the people who are obsessed with eating a chicken sandwich to
save America have personal histories that would make Jezebel blush. You should probably spend more time being
thankful for the grace you’ve been given and read Luke 18:9-14 before you post
another thing.
6.
Stop playing the victim card, whichever side you’re on. If you have a vision of what America is
supposed to be that’s worth someone taking the time to listen to, it should say
where we need to go and why things will be better, not why we all might need to
be hiding under our beds next week.
Faith and love beat fear every time.
7.
Eat-ins and Kiss-ins both focus on building in-group identity, not changing
minds or finding common ground. This
whole thing shows the brokenness of our political system and our culture in
microcosm.
8.
Eat-ins and Kiss-ins also produce a lot of photos I don’t want to see, whether
it’s a 300-pound preacher doing mayo shots at the condiment bar or two bears in
harnesses sucking face in the parking lot.
If you love your friends and want to keep America beautiful, please stop
hitting the damn forward button.
9.
If you absolutely can’t help hitting the forward button on the latest piece of Photoshop
genius from your favorite progressive or conservative group, please fact check
it first, because most of them don’t seem to and it makes your side of the
argument look as dumb as the other side says it is.
10.
I love America and I think it’s the best place there is, but God has seen a
thousand nations come and go. He has
never said he likes ours better than any of the others and to think so isn’t
patriotism, it’s idolatry.
