I disapprove of what you kiss, but I will defend to the death your right to kiss it


Huckabee said he sees nothing wrong with “National Same Sex Kiss Day at Chick Fil A,” although he is skeptical of the strategy.

“Probably I won’t be there for that,” Huckabee said. “But so what? That’s America. As long as they’re orderly, as long as they don’t disrupt the flow of customers and traffic — if they believe that will help their cause, to put people of the same sex kissing each other in a public place in front of families, if they believe that will encourage people to be more sympathetic, then, you know, more power to them.

“In America, I believe people have a right to do things that I might not agree with,” he continued. “What I don’t want to do is shut down the voices of Christians because they don’t like those voices.”

    Not one word about the rights of the property owner to decide what is permissible on his own property?

    I guess the civil rights bill was so long ago that no one even remembers what it was like to be free, let alone question the need for government and public approval of everything.

    Because performance art (which is what it really is) doesn’t always get the response desired by the artist. When spontaneous, even more so.

    I don’t want heterosexual face sucking around where I’m eating, either.

    Excuse me, are you almost done with this table? Yeah, it’s been a long day and these steel toe boots get heavy and I could use a chair before I get cranky. Better still, could you do me a favor and offer this table to that nice family? thanks.

    “… although he is skeptical of the strategy. ‘

    And it would help drive home the message that they’re completely insufferable, spoiled brats, who want whatever they want, and they want it now, and we’re obligated to give it to them.
