An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Fruits, Nuts and Flakes
I quit eating at McDonald’s a LONG time ago. They USE to have REALLY good french fries, but once the food police got a hold of them, it was all down hill from there. So when I got an email from AFA to “boycott” McDonald’s, it was kind of moot. Then I read a column in the San Fransisco Chronicle. Well, now I know just how folks out there on the left coast feel about people like me. You know, Christaholics.
Totally Gay Happy Meals
It is the end of the nutball Christian right. Here is your proof. To go
Really classy headline there. A real eye catcher.
Here are a few snippets:
Did you know the AFA recently boycotted McDonald’s? That’s right, this once semi-powerful tub of right-wing brain-caulk recently declared a comestible fatwa against America’s foremost purveyor of toxic foodstuffs because, apparently, some high-ranking McD’s VP just joined the board of directors of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, which, to the AFA, somehow translates directly into free pink condoms and mind-controlling rainbow flags in every toxic God-fearing Happy Meal.
Did you read about that? No? Of course you didn’t. Here is why: No one cared. Well, that’s not quite true. McDonald’s sort of cared, just enough to write up a nice letter of response to Wildmon stating, in essence, that the AFA is a bunch of troglodytic knuckle-draggers with the sociosexual awareness of a fungal spore, and they should crawl away right now before God spanks them even harder with the 2×4 of total irrelevance.
I might be exaggerating. What they actually said was: Thank you, AFA, for your hateful consideration, but we support our employees’ right to join whichever socially responsible and positive groups they like. And thusly did McD’s flick the AFA away like a tick from a dog. Isn’t that amazing?
I wonder if this ranting loon is aware that there are MORE of us, than there are of him? Doubtful, since he lives in a tiny part of the country that is totally oblivious to the goings on in the other 49 states.
Go read the entire column. If you agree with him, what the hell are ya doin’ coming around here? 
McDonald’s support of special privileges for gays is bad enough, but if they allow themselves (or want) to be embroiled in a huge spectacle over it, I hope they get the support they deserve. Said support would include the patronage of like-minded people and would also include the avoidance of patronage by normal people. I say “normal people” because I think it is abnormal to be demanding special treatment based on something such as preferring to have sex with someone of the same gender.
