The other day, one of those Internet memes was making the rounds, this one lamenting the focus on Chick-Fil-A when there are just so many other, more pressing problems, such as the price of gas, the lack of jobs, the ongoing cost of wars abroad, and the federal deficit.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but see the common thread. The same people who are all hoo-rah over Chick-Fil-A\u2019s five million dollar contributions to anti-gay causes are, by and large, the same ones who are anti-regulation, anti-jobs bill, and pro-war. They supported Bush\u2019s multi-billion dollar attack on Iraq, and still support tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations (and conveniently blame Obama for the long-term financial consequences). They believe the Second Amendment right to bear arms should have few or no limits, allowing people like James Holmes to buy as many guns, of any type, as they see fit.<\/p>\n
