Mayor Emanuel, Don't You Have Better Things to Do than Pick On Chick-Fil-A?

I visited my hometown this past week where the major controversy was not the murder rate and shootings--it was a Chick-Fil-A that creates jobs for people in Chicago. Supposedly and alderman and Mayor Rahm Emanuel doesn't like the fact the CEO--not the franchise owner who invested her money into a small business to create jobs--supports traditional marriage. Emanuel says Chick-Fil-A doesn't represent Chicago values.

All the while, Chicago's murder rates are skyrocketing. Mayor Emanuel has been criticized from members of the Chicago tourism committee for not doing enough to stop the violence. Funny how Emanuel appears to be more concerned about a Chick-Fil-A when the murder rate in Chicago skyrockets and shootings are up in the city.

Here's a small business--a franchise--that greets passing customers with a cow with a sign that reads "eat more chick'n" where nobody has been hurt. The franchise owner has even hired gay people to work the counters and cook and the mayor wants to put Chick-Fil-A out of business.

It's too bad Rahm Emanuel isn't as tough on crime.

You know what his solution would be if he was. Ensure law abiding citizens can't protect themselves from the thugs that are giving Chicago a bad name. Chicago already has some of the most tyrannical gun laws in the United States, and it's obvious they don't work.

Of course, Chick-Fil-A is a far more pressing issue.
