House Representatives signed a letter in support of Chick-fil-A, inviting the restaurant to come roost in their district.
FOX News reported:
For all those politicians who were piling on Chick-fil-A last week, there are a bunch more rolling out the red carpet for the chicken chain.
A letter drafted by Mississippi Republican Rep. Alan Nunnelee praises the Atlanta-based fast food restaurant as an American success story and decries attacks mounted against it after company President Dan Cathy spoke out against same-sex marriage. Nunnelee’s letter garnered 16 signatures from colleagues in the House of Representatives.
“We write today to show support for the manner in which you have defended your values and reputation in the face of unfair and malicious criticism,” the letter to Cathy begins.
The letter from Nunnelee and fellow Republicans states that they are “bewildered” that local politicians in Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco have said the company was unwelcome in their communities because of Cathy’s stance.
“We are bewildered by those who would take offense at your values and would block the expansion of your business into their communities,” it states. “We welcome Chick-fil-A’s investment in our districts.”
Nunnelee said he was moved to pen the letter after what he called a “vicious smear campaign” against the restaurant.
“The criticism they have received has been appalling,” Nunnelee said. “Elected officials that are now threatening to block new Chick-fil-A restaurants in their cities are acting in a manner that is un-American. Demanding ideological conformity in order to be allowed to run your business is a dangerous precedent. It is like something that would happen in Soviet Russia.”

HOO-RAH! Down w/ fascism!
Remco Kimber commented:
Gonna take a wild-eyed guess here, but the number of Democrats signing this letter is either zero or near zero.
How can anyone trust the oath taken by any Democrat?
Hobbitually conservative commented:
Sorry, I don’t need them writing letters in support to businesses, I need them to stop Obama from shutting businesses down.
They seem to forget they aren’t there to put band aids on sores but to follow the constitution.
The hell with useless letters. I can write them.
Time commented:
By the looks of it and the turn out on appreciation day it is evidence that this great nation is taking a stand, fighting back and the tide is changing. Pushing back and out all the garbage that has been handed out and the transformation of this beautiful country. We Americans are not going to stand for it anymore, we are not going to be bullied into believing that their right is our right, their sin is our sin and their want is our want. Their stance is not what makes America great. We as a nation were built on Christianity and that is what made America what she is.
The love feast that the left held ” The Kiss In ” was a flop compared to the thousands if not millions that stood in line on appreciation day. It is blatant that their are many more that believe in Chick-Fila’s stance then the Kiss In stance. We The People have come home to roost, doing the chicken dance.. Happy trails to you Obama and your love fest…Nov, is just beyond the horizon, and it’s darkest just before dawn….

I’m tired of these useless resolutions that have no teeth. OTOH, it’s nice to see the republicans in congress standing up for something. I’m still waiting to see them counteract some of the EOCs obama has enacted. He has gone way beyond his bounds. Why have none of them sued in the SC? They did that to Clinton and stopped some of his cr*p.
Truth Teller commented:
Patriots – be prepared to fight every step of the way to victory; we are beginning to gain confidence in standing up for our view; we may be called upon to stand up for our lives.

Has Nunnelee spoken this way about the ‘rats in DC?

The entire Democrat party, led by their president, is acting in a manner that is un-American.
Sibyl West commented:
Usually we associate coercion under threat of violence to be thuggish. But we need to be aware of the more insidious part:
“The most insidious part of the thuggees was their gaining the confidence of their intended victims by befriending them, appearing to be fellow travellers, finding out secrets and waiting until those they wished to plunder were in a vulnerable position.”

Threatened By The Facts – From My Vault
[The foolish rancor by homosexuals, politicians, and city officials
nationwide that was brought about because the owner of Chick
-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, gave an honest answer to a question–reminded
me of similar behavior that was brought about by the movie “The
Passion of the Christ.”
Homosexual activists and their sympathetic minions who drink and
bathe in the river “Lethe” choose to forget that freedom of speech
and opinion is not the exclusive domain of those who will be interred
where the Lethe flows.
Their actions are emblematic of the reflexive, apoplectic histrionics
that those who are fueled by immoral heterodoxies are quick to
espouse. Refusing to succumb to the lies promoted (though not
necessarily believed) by the godless does not make a person wrong.]

She just happened to be at the drive thru window.
The flag just happened to be flying.
The cross just happened on the Chaplain’s door.
The cross just happened to be on the mountain top.
The Nativity just happened to be in the center of town.
The commandments just happened to be display in the Town’s Capital
Look and you will find many stories today that seem incomprehensible, couldn’t happen in America. In some cases Americans are standing up and saying enough is enough.
They are you and me and they are this young woman who under the face of hate, she never lost her cool.
Examples of courage are everywhere and in the small towns in America. It takes courage because we are many and they are few.
