Welcome To Post-Obama America Where Chicken Is The New iPhone
Dozens of young people camping out at the front of a popular store... can only mean one thing?
Free Chicken For A Year
‘Dozens’ of people are camping outside the newly built Chik-Fil-A store.
Why, you ask?
FREE CHICKEN FOR A YEAR! That’s why!
The chain is offering a years worth of free food to the first 100 customers. The first 100 adults in line will get a digital card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A meals.
Welcome to the deep fried recovery.

Didn't know or wasn't aware that Sheep ate chicken
Careful lefties, it's Christian chicken.
I think they have a Sunday discount for the lefties.
Aren't they like, against gay marriage and stuff? As a staunch liberal, I am SO torn.
I thought this was going to be about people getting chickens so that they could have their own fresh eggs, then not knowing what to do with the birds when they stop producing eggs.
Popeyes would never try such a stunt with their clientele.
wow free chicken. Also free:
-hypertension
-weight gain
-hormonal imbalances
-low energy
-cancer?
-high cholesteral
miss any?
yes, being around people who eat it with 40's is bad for your health.
The only line I would wait in overnight would be for a free year's worth of service at the House of the Rising Sun.
I bet Mochella cuts in front of that line.
Let the Wookie win.
Those 100 have a lot of new friends.
Free Chicken for a Year means a digital coupon for 52 chicken sandwich meals. One a week I guess.
So at about $6 per meal its worth a little over $300. Hardly worth camping out for.

Un-freaking-believable!
I would disown my chidren for this.
I work about 1/4 mile up the street from this Chic-Fil-A. I drove by at 6am this morning as I always do and there were several hundred people there with cops keeping an eye on things. The original building was torn down for remodeling about 8 months ago, and this place probably does the most business of any in the country. So they offered the 1st 100 people in line this morning free chow for 1 year as their grand re-opening gimmick.
I only found out about what the deal was later from a co-worker who had known what the deal was. But the community around this place had been waiting all year for the new building to open up anyway, so even without the give-away there still would have been a ton of people there for breakfast.
I went to lunch late today, so I went by there to grab a sandwich and see how the new building looked and what-not. It's was 2:30pm and the place was absolutely packed still.
Nothing wrong with some publicity and with giving away free chow for a whole year to a few people. At least they're doing good business...not many others in America these days can say that.
What's worse....doing this?
Or Michelle "The Wookie" telling a bunch of blacks that if they get out and vote for Demon-rats that they should be rewarded with some fried chicken??? LOL What a retarded bitch.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/michelle-obama-to-blacks-go-mindlessly-vote-democrat-then-get-you-some-fried-chicken.html
What? No fucking watermelon, bitchezz? She-iiiiiit
HOW MUCH Are They Chargin For The Campin Spots ???
https://www.nokidhungry.org/problem/overview
makes sense
Ok, so when do these coupons show up for sale on Ebay?
that's funny...I didn't think of that, but I betchya some of 'em will. Or at least on the local Craigslist site here for Tampa. I'll look for a few weeks or so and see if any show up. That would be pretty funny if I found one. lol
“Popeyes would never try such a stunt with their clientele.”
Whoa.. that would make Ferguson look like Fatima.
Where is this , spicy chicken samwich they got is mm mm good
Better bring your passport. That part of Tampa (Town & Country) is nearly entirely Hispanic. I avoid it like the plague since most cashiers try to initiate converstaions in Spanish. I feel like I'm in Mexico, PR, or Cuba.
I don't live in that area, but you are very right. I work for a very large corporation that's based right up the street from this Chic-fil-A (hint: on Henderson). Sounds like you know the area, so you should know what company I'm talking about.
But you're right...it's a 3rd world community around there, and driving??? Geez...total 3rd world driving conditions along with all the transient types wandering around in the middle of Waters Ave. lol
Town & Compton homie!!
This is advertising genius at it's finest look at all of us talking about the stupid campers and thinking about Chick-Fil-A restaurants.
They will get 100x return in increased business.
government makes kids go hungry...it's one of the best crisis' they ever dreamed up to use against the people. Control the food, control the masses, control the dissent, control the population growth, control the medicine and "health care", etc., etc., etc.
I seem to remember some sort of "controversy" associated with them a few years back. Something to do with the owner and freedom of speech & religion.
Maybe this is a way of Chik-fil-a making the Wookie eat her own words ;-)
who the fuck doesn't like fried chicken? or watermellon?
"Dozens of young people camping out at the front of a popular store... can only mean one thing?"
They must be the white, right wing of the Free Shit Army.
For a second I thought this was people gearing up for black friday.
LOL
My first reaction: they were lining up to apply for jobs.
More like White(meat) Tuesday! :>D
+1 for calling Moochele a "retarded bitch"...highlight of my day.
thanks...I try ;-)
retarded, Marxist, bitch, Wookie might be better, but at some point we don't want too be insulting towards Wookies. And retarded and Marxist are pretty much redundant too. Well, it's not really retarded, but it definitely is a major mental disorder of some alien kind, that's for sure.
Anyways...no offense ever meant at all what-so-ever to any actual Wookies. It's just that the physical similarity is so uncanny! I'm sure the Wookies understand even if it pisses them off a bit about it. ;-) lol
Cops wasting time monitoring what?
As someone once said, "The people who will riot are the ones that fight over $1.99 dish towels." And now, free chicken vouchers.
Interesting marketing stratergy.
Imagine Walmart (or any big chain) having a similar campaign. First 100 people through the door get free 9mm ammo for a year.
I don't think they've built Walmart carparks big enough for that.
"First 100 people through the door"
Does it count if you're among the first 100 to go through the plate glass when the crowd start to push?
<aside> that almost happened to me at a concert. You could literally see the glass flexing and start to buckle, and I had to push back with all my might to escape. Ever since then I've avoided crowds. There's no greater threat on earth to your personal safety than a crowd of stupid people.
There's no greater threat on earth to your personal safety than a crowd of stupid people.
Except that same crowd voting to choose your nation's leaders......it's as if a coop of chickens were voting on which Fox to put in charge
Yes! These sheeple will stampede each other to death for hormone injected chicken! Brilliant. We need more of this kind of thinking. Die Sheeple Die!
ebear, I went to a concert abt 1977 at The Warehouse in New Orleans. Me and my gf (now my wife) stood outside. awaiting the opening of the doors. I'm pretty sure the main event was Robin Trower, but I'm gettin' old, so it coulda been Rush w/ Max Webster.
Anyway, when the doors opened the crowd pushed in and a fuckin' brick wall (I aint talkin veneer) failed. Several people were hospitalized, the brick wall failed.
On another note. You should know Max Webster-
Then these inspiring words: "Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces."

Huh, Zerohedge has just informed me that there is no reason to ever visit this place again.Does that mean those campers are bad at math -
or can't they even read?
Say, that reminds me...
Hardly worth camping out for...
If you ain't got no mofo job, then the shit is worth campin' out for...
No kidding, let the wookie win. God does she look like a female version of bigfoot.
Female?
How can you tell?
No way. They don't serve any left wings there.
I'll stand in line for a year of The house of a hand full of boobies
The only line I would wait in overnight would be for a free year's worth of service at the Mustang Ranch.
No?
Come on AF....we have Chick-fill-ayys in the woodlands....support local biz.....really...It's better than KFC
As Antoine says, "If I wanna have a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, guess what, I'm gonna have a Chick-Fil-A sandwich".

A short life of terrible suffering for the animals and birds.
They're too stupid to suffer. I mean the campers.
Better to have lived, and tasted good, than to have never lived at all.

A chicken turned into a delicious meal is a chicken that did NOT die in vain!
Yes, injuries from fights trying to be first in line.
I wonder if any of these Chick Filet cutomers were mugged for their Air Jordans?
Here are the ingredients for a chick fil a sandwich
Ingredients: 100% natural whole breast fillet, seasoning (salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, spices, paprika), seasoned coater (enriched bleached flour, [malted barley flour, niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, foic acid], sugar salt, monosodium glutamate, nonfat mild, leavening [baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate], spice, soybean oil, color [paprika], milk wash (water, whole powdered egg and nonfat mild solids), peanut oil (fully refined peanut oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness and Dimethylpolysiloxane an anti-foaming agent added), pickles (cucumbers, water, vinegar, salt, contains less than 1% of the following: calcium chloride, sodium benzoate potassium sorbate [preservatives], natural flavors, polysorbate 80, Yellow #5, blue 1), butter-flavored vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated soybean oil, palm kernel oil, lecithin, artificial flavor, TBHQ and citric acid added as preservatives, and artificial color). Served on a standard 4-inch bun from a local bakery.
Yum Yum eatumup
It's the Yellow #5 that really ruins it for me.
supporting evidence?
hypocrisy is priceless
This info is a from a pdf file directly from chick fil a
Of course not customer numbers 101 and above would riot and burn down the store.
It's a Chik-fil-A, not a Popeye's
We know why
and won't be deducted from EBT, right ???
Hey now, I resent that
"as God is my witness, I thought chickens could fly"
WKRP bump. +1 LOL
My laying hens got a new heat lamp yesterday, happy, happy..
Aren't there retirement centers for old chickens? There should be!
"Gay marriage" is an oxymoron, just like "marriage license" or seeking permission from the State for your chosen union.
My Son did this for Buffalo Wild Wings, book of coupons (52), I've used about four of them. Can't stand the ambience (47 big screen LCD's, blaring music, ever-changing crew of 20-somethings) but the wings are good.
B Dubs is no guns. No money from me.
Funny - that's what my Son and his friends called it, I was like "what?" He explained: "B WW's or 'B Dubs' for short, DAD". What can I say, I wear a wrist watch and use cash.
And thanks - was not aware of the gun issue - I'll make sure I use the rest of the coupons and ask for water.
I believe that's for company-owned locations, not independent franchises.
The ones where I live don't have signs, so I've (concealed) carried there every visit.
Dude, with a face like that NOBODY is going to fuck with you.
Damn straight manizle!
I asked my gun, he didn't care.. Beer is good, he likes beer..
Conservatives are not AGAINST same sex marriage. From my experience they are PRO hetero marriage. So I think they are just against having sex in general, really.
Being hetero and suffering a twenty year sex dry spell of marriage, I will still take that over something jambed up my ass. I don't want to be a hater, and I have a number of gay friends, but no fucking way...literally, not a way to fuck. As far as marriage, it is far too late to save marriage, so as a conservative, all I can say is that I want everyone, gay and straight, to suffer exactly as I have. Sex is the very least of it (unless you touch my ass)
In twenty years of blue balls I would have figured out an accident...
As a staunch liberal, I am SO torn.
Torn whether to try and get in on it or completely shut it down, no doubt.
They close on Sundays.
That's the joke, bro. Quick, change your post!
Wow, who knew there would be such a strong showing of posters in favor of Team Chik-Fil-A on the Zero Drudge report?
LTER mentions Drudge in 3...2...1...
Oh wait, dammit!
I know, I know, I should just let the rabid Team oriented posts that mirror what one would see on Drudge speak for themselves. But I can't help myself.
But what about the articles featured here from Huffpo? Wouldn't that make it Huffington Hedge?
Time was that ZH was mostly concerned with market and economic issues and shining a light on how the bankers/the Fed are screwing everyone over, which is not a Team issue as evidenced by the recent election in which the Fed was not even remotely on the radar. The site has taken a hard right turn in the last year or so, presumably because the new Tylers believe they can generate clicks that way. So we get articles like this, where one of the first posts calls out "lefties." Ironically, the site has lost quite a bit of readers as a result.
According to quantcast, the readership is still steadily rising:
https://www.quantcast.com/zerohedge.com
I still see most of the articles being non-partisan here. I mean, there were at least three articles about the "R" victory not changing anything. That doesn't sound like a really red-team hurrah kind of thing. As for the article attacking the "D's", that doesn't necessarily mean it's pro "R". The only major difference I've noticed is that there aren't as many articles attacking Bibi any more. Maybe it's just me?
So the fact that the headline connects the people getting free to chicken to Obama is not Team oriented? And the fact that no one sees the irony of that when the chain (as evidenced by the large majority of comments here) is heavily connected to the Red Team, doesn't speak volumes?
As for ZH readership, try this one: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/zerohedge.com
Maybe that was the sarcasm in the story, maybe turn your meter on? Just wondering.
The sarcasm if intended was sure lost on 90+% of the posters to this article, which is kind of my point.
There's a reasonable explanation about the drop.
Pure conjecture on my part.
The site took a hit in October because most of us are actually in banking and finance. October is a really busy month so many of us are too busy to hit ZH right now. Trying to get year-end budgets out in time for review and approval. Then, we'll be looking at year-end valuations and closing the year. This will continue into February.
Just my two cents.
Have to, largely, agree.
A lot less informed discussion - a lot more name calling.
I'm not totally against insulting someone, but I do try to keep it to those that really deserve it.
And everybody here hates the fucking wars. THEY MUST ALL BE DEMOCRATS.
Give it a fucking rest woman.
Virtually everyone on ZH should be mad as hell that the American people -- after 40+ years of the Red Team and Blue Team working lockstep to enrich bankers and oligarchs and destory the middle class -- respond not by rejecting both Teams, but by embracing the Team that was not in power at the moment. It is proof that nothing will ever change if after 8 years of Bush, followed by 6 years of Obama, the American people still don't get it. I see very little of that anger here. Instead, I see the large majority of posters simply happy to see the Blue Team thrown out. At best, maybe 10% of the posters here seem genuinely angry that not a single third-party candidate came close to winning. You tell me what that means.
I keep it real simple....
Good government is an oxymoron.
This comment deserves more up votes than the mere 3 I see.
I see a lot of folks saying FUCK KABUKI THEATER, red team, blue, I am sure most here know better. I am not sure where LTER is coming from on this one. Enjoy his contrarian point of view but his is not my perception of ZH at all.
The quantcast # is directly measured and the alexa # is an estimate, so say the sites, but I won't belabor this.
An increase of negative articles on Obama should be expected, in my opinion, simply because there are more scandals. Yes, the headlines will attract a lot of "R's", but the fact is, big-"L" libertarians would probably dislike Obama more than anyone else, which is the base audience, correct?
Lately I think the evidence is that most current ZH posters -- regardless of how they self-identify -- are Red Team. Whether the shift in the theme of the site is a response to that, or the other way around is anyone's guess.
I think the Obama-turned-Ron Paul voter is upset about the erection results.
That is true in the sense that the election is strong evidence that the electorate will perpetually just shift to the other Team. I would have been happy if some third-party candidates had won. And it is also true that reading the posts here (and many of the articles) about the election have further cemented my belief that this site has gone all Drudgie on us. I have not voted for a Team candidate since 2008 (and that itself was an abberation which I readily admit was a mistake), and my only concern with the outcome of any election now is my growing conviction that nothing is ever going to change.
Seeing even ZH -- one of the sources that pulled me out of the matrix -- seemingly devolve into the Red Team/Blue Team paradigm is depressing to me.
I have not voted for a Team candidate since 2008 (and that itself was an abberation which I readily admit was a mistake),
Pray tell, enlighten us. The way you foam at the mouth about Team Red, I can only guess and well...yikes.
I'm way above that redteam blueteam but why aren't there any blue team folks I can relate to?
Snort.
How come anti-state doesn't get a vote here? Fuck red and blue, they all suck.
If you vote, you are complicit in the crimes of government.
Yup,
And not voting hurts their feelings. At some point they'll all just quit and go home.
Obolas poll numbers show most everyone hates him. Hell even Michael Jordan discs him now.
Most of us here probably ARE more conservative than liberal, especially after the shitshow that was the last 6 years. But, BUT Rand, know this: Ten years ago we were so convinced that W was Satan that we voted for Kerry! It seems you are a wee bit too sensitive to the lambasting the blues are suffering yet so richly deserve. Remember how they treated W?
As far as I'm concerned, Obama is worse than W. I voted for Obama in 2008 because I thought (wrongly) that he came out of nowhere and would actually be different. McCain/Palin scared the shit out of me, and I took a flyer and decided to vote Blue. It was a mistake. My beef is with people who proclaim themselves as not believing in the Red Team/Blue Team debate, taking joy at the Red Team winning. I would take no joy in seeing the Blue Team winning.
Thank you Tyler, and God bless Fight Club!
All this R v. D BULLSHIT is smelly and distracts from the truth...
Vote all you want. The secret government won’t change.
The people we elect aren’t the ones calling the shots, says Tufts University’s Michael Glennonhttp://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2014/10/18/vote-all-you-want-the-secret...
p.s. I didnt DV you.. I actually UV'd you. FYI.
I voted for Obama in 2008
BWAAhAHAHAHAHA. Sure, Romney was a horrible choice, but solely in terms of economics, you really have to be a talking baboon (and that's being nice) to give your vote to Obama. Good God, the man was borne of a LAUNDRY LIST of communists and sorry, that info was out there before you voted. So now we know why, when you foam at the mouth about Teams, you pay particular attention to the red one...
Romney was the next time. But yeah, your right otherwise. I just vote Libertarian every time, that way I'm not disapointed at the results.
Doh! Yup. Insert McCain for Romney. Same douche, different election.
Alexa has changed the way ratings are displayed to the Public.
If you have a subscription, you get to see the real data.
If you are "just looking" public, they got a bunch of bogus stats up for you.
They don't even show the aggregate number of unique hits on the front end...
Look:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/msnbc.com
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/zerohedge.com
Zerohedge is VASTLY more popular globally than MSNBC...
So what are you trying to say?
BTW - I do agree that the quality posters on ZH have thinned considerably.
I used to learn shit here all the time... Now I have a few laughs but not so much educating.
Used to be that people on this website would share info and make persuasive arguments.
Now it's more of a Rant platform... Its the TQM Triangle... Can't have quality and Quantity.
It's all been downhell since they got rid of the math question.
Just maybe you should eat some Wookie fried chickem, after all you voted for your favorite prog, right.. Treat yowself wookie says it's ok..
Don't be tellin us "ain't nobody got time for dat"..
Nah.
But be careful. You might hang here, read here, comment here, but what you see here, what you hear here, who you see here, let it stay here, for the first rule of Fight Club is to Never Talk About Fight Club. The Second Rule of Fight Club is to Never Talk About Fight Club.
Plus, somebody's always gotta bitch. Otherwise it'd be like HuffPo. All flowers, butterflies, hugs, kisses and rainbow Unicorn droppings.
Ah...unicorn droppings.
Reminds me of Buffalo Chips..."From the plains of Sacramento..."
Would you like those with BBQ, sukiyaki, teriyaki, or cream of ranch dipping sauce? For here or to go? Will you be using a credit card, cash or EBT. EBT? Would you like a six of 40's and a pack of smokes with that? Oh, sorry but we don't do tattoos here. The tatshop next door takes EBTs. Have a nice day.
LTER: The site has taken a hard right turn in the last year or so
1. Still believing in the left/right paradigm?
2. Aren't you a bit too revealing? I'll patiently wait for the day when you criticize something/someone for taking a "hard left" turn... so at least the casual observer can believe you're more "balanced" than the ones you're criticizing.
Still believing in the left/right paradigm
The false paradigm is repub/democrat, not left/right.
I'll patiently wait for the day when you criticize something/someone for taking a "hard left" turn...
He voted for Obama, good luck with that wait.
LTER - that's the mistake, thinking it is a "Right" or "Left" issue; Demican and Republicrat is really meaningless if you dig.
Camping out for expensive iPhones that you can get anywhere/anytime if you wait 6 months, or camping out for free food; people are preoccupied with - in the big picture - meaningless pursuits. Camping out means you have nothing better to do.
Instead of protesting the FED, the NSA, the lack of rule-of-law for Wall Street, the trampling of Liberty - people wait in line for overpriced technology or free fried food.
I take it that you already forgot about #Occupy. Protesting is useless, as evidenced by that movement and the TEA party.
I specifically meant those camping out for the latest iBling or iFreeFriedFood; at least the #Occupy folks stood for something.
The Tea Party was hijacked by the political establishment and the MSM, intentionally marginalized.
I liked your version of the Doctor, thought you deserved another season or two.
LTER butt is sore just like the progs in my neck of the woods.... If we can just get those cons away from Drudge they will like keynesians, gay sex and the wookie telling them what to eat... Ahhh no, not gonna happen
If they're lefties...
Sayonara.
Did you enjoy election day, Rand?
How many different ways can you predict the collapse of the entire World economy on one site?
Maybe you should apply for editor on ZH? I think that position's open right now.
"Wow, who knew there would be such a strong showing of posters in favor of Team Chik-Fil-A on the Zero Drudge report?"
I don't know about anybody else, but I just 'CAMP OUT' on ZH to junk nitwit posts & hope I'm in the first 100
closed on sundays and still make billions............selling chicken.... on paper plates...
mostly white meat.........(they can't say breast there)
"yea...let me have two big juicy breast's on some warm firm buns...please"
Apr 2 14Chick-fil-A, Inc. announced that same-store sales rose 3.64% in 2013, while total sales gained 9.3%. The company posted $5 billion in sales in 2013, up from $4.6 billion a year earlier. The company also announced it's plans to open 90 stores in 2014 and is looking at expanding further in the Northeast and Northwest U.S.
http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=7621129
are they really closed on sundays? somebody, somebody, buddha, allah, vishnu, isis (is that funny?) bless them. i won't say the G word. the G word would be racist and sexist and god only knows what else. (oops).
WE SHOULD NOT ALL BE WORKING 24/7. WE SHOULD NOT ALL EXCEPT EVERYTHING THAT WE EVER WANT 24/7 AT OUR EVERY WHIM.
and i did NOT know this - but i like the fact that the chick-fila owners give both their employees a day off (and don't need to exploit the greed) - but they are also telling the clients, who tend to become addicts, 'find something else to do, like stay home and be with your family'.

They aren't open on Sunday Willy. Wake up and learn something.
They mix the Coke with Holy Water, just to trick the vampires, aka Liberals, should they sneak in.
You'd think Jesus could make a better chicken sandwich.
His nails are too long.
You may recall from your Bible studies that His specialty was fish.
Only in America would a story about a fast-food conglomerate restaurant giving out free chicken bring out the Red Team/Blue Team debate.
MAYBE it's because the Gay Mafia tried to shut them down because they refused to march in lock step with the homo agenda. But you like to hang out there and look down on the Republicans with far-away eyes, right?
I was not aware that the Gay Mafia tried to shut it down. I do know that the media campaign of the founder to identify the chain as pro-Christian made him a billionaire. And I go sometimes because I like the food. As far as the people with the far away look in their eyes, I've certainly noticed it and I didn't realize that it was limited to Republicans.
"I was not aware that the Gay Mafia tried to shut it down."
You must have been asleep last year. Most people never knew the founder was a staunch Christian until the Gay Mafia took them on and called for a boycott. A boycott that went so horribly wrong Chick-Fil-a got HUGE press (including many people finding out about the founder's religious beliefs for the first time, or finding out there even was such a chain of stores). The press stories were supposed to support the reasons for the boycott but it boomeranged horribly. The boycott ended up being a boon to the chain. The stores had lines around the block to buy chicken sandwiches for DAYS because people were so outraged at the blatant attempt to smear the founder and blackmail the chain.
I was in one of those lines. Party in support, partly because it's not horrible as far as fast food goes.
Most people I talked to didn't care about the founder's religious beliefs one way of the other, they just felt it was so transparently wrong what the Gay Mafia was trying to do they just got pissed off and decided to go the opposite direction- by buying a shitload of chicken sandwiches.
I remember the boycott, but I did not realize there was a Gay Mafia involved. I just thought that some gay people decided to boycott the place because they disagreed with the owner's beliefs, similar to what many groups have done in the past. And that the boycott resulted in an outpouring of support among people who agreed with the owner's beliefs. And I forgot that I'm posting on the Zero Drudge report.
Gawd, you're an idiot.
Thanks. Now I see where I was wrong in my earlier post.
I think when you get too literal regarding the Gay Mafia, you risk appearing rigid, as if you have an axe to grind.
Bottom lining this for a second, it's my understanding that ZH has been and continues to be a little Libertarian, a little Austin econ, that sort of thing. While Team Red has been a total let down, Team Blue is just all wrong. They went full retard on Roman Law, authoritarian, experts are to be trusted, etc. While there are plenty on Team Red who also go that route (Welfare vs Warfare paradigm), it is within Team Red where guys like us reside.
Yeah, is it wrong and stupid to think anything will change? Of course.
But didn't it feel good to see Team Blue kicked in the balls over and over again, like some twisted Vine, for each race they lost? Just a little bit? Just, just a teeney weeney lil'bit? No?
Overtly simplistic
huh,
well, it's a particular flavour of "libertarian" that ZH leans towards, often comes with a heavy dollop of Christian Conservative. anyone around here for the 2012 electioneering knows how the majority "felt", and voted.
"Libertarian" is a current cultural buzz-word - it has yet to land on a definition or description that is even remotely "unified". but there are a few key questions that can always be asked to "out" the background beliefs.
as to the ChikFilla thing - not mentioned was the owner/founder had one of those awesome foundations - WinShape - to promote his beliefs, tax free of course - spreading around monies to fight the "gay marriage" groups. it's a time honoured tradition, see the Mormons funding huge campaigns in Calif. on the same topic. did I mention the "tax free" status of these wealthy "culture shapers"?
meh - if folks want to nom on some CAFO chikken (promised "antibiotic free by 2019") and pay homage to their religious beliefs at the same time, who cares to stand in their way. . .
It's called paleoconservatism or paleolibertarianism.
"The Old Right", a political movement that basically died and gave birth to the neocons around WWII.
You can read all about it by googling any of those first three terms.
