His statement was a personal opinion, to which we all have the right to express. <br /><br />What I should have said was that "An influential businessman made a personal opinion statement that incited bigotry (I know that wasn't his intent), and 1600 businesses were financially rewarded as a result." It was late. My bad. (I would have said the same thing if it would have negatively affected the finances of the businesses, I just would have flipped the 'money thing' around.)<br /><br /> My point wasn't about what he said or even the topic of the day. It was about the affect that someone's personal opinion about a subject that is divisive in our country could have on a business.(positive or negative) <br /><br />I respect everyone's right to their opinion (and trust me, it gets me in trouble sometimes) and I don't see what the big deal was in his statement either. That's why I was so surprised at the reaction from the public and the hatefulness of those who showed up, not to support his right to free speech, which unites us, but in support of his personal opinion on a subject that divides us.<br /><br />One should have nothing to do with the other. People should support the businesses because they like the food:)Debbie Morellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-40650495563780956022012-08-02T19:57:23.043-04:002012-08-02T19:57:23.043-04:00I hate that anyone actually listens to anything Hu...I hate that anyone actually listens to anything Huckabee suggests/says. I hate to even admit that the man was my Governor; he pushed hard for people to have a covenant marriage-like I'd want to wait 2-5 years for a divorce to go through.

He never said he wouldn't serve or hire a gay or lesbian just that he believes it's against God's word. Clearly yesterday there are more people concerned that his right to free speech was infringed upon than the stance he took. I have gay friends that didn't see what the big deal was in his statement. I have family who is gay. They know that I love them but disagree with their life style. Just like I have a drug addicted sister who I love dearly but disagree with her life style too. At least respect his right to disagree with you. He never said anything discriminatory just that he disagrees with marriage. Besides if you ask a well known Christian business owner what he believes in why is everyone so shocked that he doesn't think gay marriage is right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-10162207245954723462012-08-02T14:00:48.954-04:002012-08-02T14:00:48.954-04:00I seriously LOVE all these comments....except the ...I seriously LOVE all these comments....except the "Anonymous" person.

Hypocrites...</i><br /><br />Gasoline, for many, is a necessity, while CFA is a luxury.<br /><br />I live in a city where there is ZERO mass transit available. One of the largest cities in Texas, nestled directly between Dallas and Fort Worth. The home of Six Flags over Texas, Cowboy Stadium, and Rangers Stadium. To get anywhere in this town, you have to walk (in the 112 degree heat, 30 miles) or drive. <br /><br />So, like a good gay, I use the HRC index to find companies that score high on the HRC index (which means they are gay-friendly) and buy my gas from them. Yes, part of that money goes to other countries, but much of it also goes to companies that support my fight for equal rights.<br /><br />On the other hand, CFA is a luxury. Not only do I not need to spend that money at CFA, but I can get the same kind of food (of better quality) elsewhere (Helloooooo Whataburger!) or, better yet, make it myself. And let me tell you, my fried chicken sandwiches bring all the boys to the yard.<br /><br />So, there goes your argument, you coward (oh, back to the "anonymous tag, sorry). It's amusing that someone who doesn't have to balls to identify himself has no problem calling other people names before knowing the facts.<br /><br />(Funny side note- the captcha on this comment is "they kill")Mark Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-6575238415502143212012-08-01T15:10:04.806-04:002012-08-01T15:10:04.806-04:00First, where does Mike Huckabee get off declaring ...First, where does Mike Huckabee get off declaring anything "national whatever day"?
