  1. You might be a totalitarian conservative hiding in libertarian’s clothes if you don’t vocally call out how idiotic the president of chic fil a’s statement was about gay marriage.

  2. A side effect of not eating is low blood sugar, which can lead to confusion, which can manifest itself in, e.g., thinking that totalitarianism is not trying to squelch speech with which one disagrees.

  3. The prez of chic fil a can say whatever he wants. However, this is not a free speech issue and never was. It’s an issue about a person who represents a major restaurant company saying that his god will judge our country because we are moving toward allowing gay marriage. Yes he has the right to say. However, what he is essentially promoting is a totalitarian state where our morals are dictated to us.

    Our country should not be in the marriage business. Acting as if this is a free speech issue is a nifty approach on your part to divert attention from the real issue.
