Assault On Free Speech

[A Theist]

Actually no. They don't have the right to stop that business from locating in their city. Boston's mayor, Tom Menino is backing off his threat to ban Chick-fil-A from entering the city. He said that would be an infringement on their rights. The same case holds true for the Alderman in Chicago who at first threatened to ban Chick-fil-A from entering there as well. No public official has the right to abuse his position in office to threaten or bully someone because that person's opinions differs from theirs.....

And yet Chick-fil-A have a right to abuse their position by forcing their religious and political positions on their customers.
This seems right to you, does it?
Because as someone who studied applied business I can tell you this qualifies as extremely unethical.

I'm opposed to vindictive elected officials who abuse their office to harass and undermine people with whom they disagree. Mr. Cathy simply stated his personal opinion which is protected by our Constitution. Whether or not his vocal support for traditional marriage is ethical or unethical is for his customers to decide not our elected office holders...and that applies to all protected speech.
