The Chick-fil-A controversy: comedy gold for Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart last night dove into the Chick-fil-A controversy in his usual measured, low-key way:

Jon Stewart is funny, but he gets on my nerves with his smug, arrogant attitude.

Interesting … Jon Stewart is funny, but smug/arrogant. Yet you watch the video and laugh.

This was better than average fare from Stewart. He can be arogant and smug at times, but I didn’t see any of it here. I agree that politicians who want to ban Chick-Fil-A are dumb, but I also think that 99% of people who want to tell you about their Christian values are even dumber.

Jon Stewart did do a good job with this story, offering jabs at each side. But this kind of thing sort of refutes the notion that Liberals, and the gay subsection (not being stereotypical, just an observation) are the more intelligent, more tolerant group out there; they’re acting like spoiled children who can’t get their way. You can respectfully disagree with somebody and not hate them, you know. Disagreement does not, never has, and never will, equal hate. I think the Left lost some ground on this one, and the slide may be far from over.

I have nothing against Jon Stewart personally. (Don’t even know the guy.) His analysis is usually right on the mark… He was good on this clip. Just that he gets on my nerves every now and then, like almost all people do, in real life also.

Dave: Exactly. Our state’s history is largely one of respectful disagreements, utterly absent hate. For many decades, right here in Georgia, different ethnic groups respectfully disagreed about whether it was appropriate for members of one group to dine in the other group’s establishments, or to drink from the other group’s water fountains. These were respectful disagreements; certainly no “hate” was involved.
And the people who disagreed with that policy were such spoiled children.
Not to be stereotypical.

Diversity is crammed down our throats, but apparently it’s only okay to voice your opinion – or have an opinion — if it IS NOT Christian-based. I think it’s fine that Mr. Cathy spoke his mind, runs his business the way he sees fit and hasn’t bent to the pressure of media, Hollywood morons and the liberal loonies. If we truly believe in free-speech, freedom of religion and the freedom to live your life your way, let’s apply to everyone — including the Christian community.
