The Totalitarian Temptation

as demonstrated by the Chick-fil-A episode. Also, five easy pieces of chicken.

What I find truly disgusting about this is the casual accusation of “hate.” There is nothing intrinsically hateful about believing in the traditional definition of marriage, any more than it is inherently racist to disagree with the president on policy, and there was nothing hateful in what Dan Cathy said. Certainly there are people who don’t like the president because they are racists, and there were probably people eating at Chick-fil-A last Wednesday because they do hate gays, but to tar everyone with that is odious demagoguery. Not to mention projection. In other words, business as usual for the fascist Left (if that’s not redundant).
