Putz. Classic case of a guy using the gobs of material out there to suit his views, bias, agenda and ignorance.

Gizmodo: loopy tech pukes go off on Chik-Fil-A
Gizmodo commenters and a writer are numb Occupy-loving idjits.
The CEO of Chik-Fil-A doesn't believe in gay marriage. This means he is anti-gay? Yeah, sure. Of course, since this is a leftist nutjob world, the CEO is a bigot who wishes all gay people were removed from the rest of society. Therefore, the entire company is nothing but bigots and everyone who, forever onward, chooses to eat at a Chik-Fil-A wishes gay people were -- hey, why mince words -- dead. Or, at least back in a closet. Waaay back there, with the old sneakers, game console and porn mags.
So glad that these, uhh, modern American liberals are a kind, loving, reasonable lot. Imagine how bonkers this Gizmodo clown Casey Chan would be if such "liberals" weren't so goddamned full of love?
No, not really. These people all have serious, serious emotional issues -- some unanswered rage relating to their daddy or mommy or a toy they rubbed their crotches with. Rather than manage that, they go around the bend when the founder and CEO of a successful company dares suggest, publicly, that he doesn't think gay marriage is appropriate.
Chick-fil-A, home of chicken-loving bigots, is in the middle of a PR nightmare. After Chick-fil-A's COO admitted to being anti-gay, the Jim Henson Company (bless their heart) pulled their toys from Chick-fil-A's kids meals. Only Chick-fil-A claimed the toys were pulled because of a "possible safety issue". That, of course, is a complete lie. A lie that the company may be propagating with fake Facebook accounts of Chick-fil-a sympathists.
Big woop. Nuts.

Why do you own a gun? Writer Chan Lowe thinks he knows. Or, thinks he thinks he knows. Or something.
Chan Lowe: Florida one million concealed weapon permits - from the Sun Sentinel
"...many concealed carriers cling to the absurd notion that the more armed citizens there are in a public place, the safer everyone will be if a gunfight breaks out...."
So, how many concealed carriers really think this, and is that, as you cynically suggest, their only or greatest reason to own a gun? If you're going to make an argument against an "absurd notion", maybe you should not make it from a knee-jerk, emotional place yourself, Chan Lowe.
Owning a gun isn't a shameful thing, and carrying a gun is not. either. If you're scared of something, that doesn't mean everyone else had to give in to you. If you're afraid of legal gun carriers, then your issue goes a lot deeper, emotionally, than disparaging gun permits.
Giving in to the fallacy that taking guns away from responsible citizens makes the streets safer is the most "absurd notion" in the mix. Of course, you'll deny you're doing this, but it comes across that you want this. Because, because, because ... offering all sorts of unemotional reasons for it.
You and Mike Bloomberg share that irrational, emotion-based idea about it, Lowe. That's what's wrong with gun control advocates who reach as far as Mayor Bloomberg and Lowe: they believe that taking (in ultimate effect) home and self-protection firearms away from the masses will serve cops and the public at large -- by arguing against the alternative. Meanwhile, gun owners will be seen as the bad guy, while the real bad guys will find guns.

Who attacked the media in 2008, and when challenged? The Left.
Yahoo! News interviews Fox News boss upon their 10th year as No. 1
What about the criticism that Fox is a farm team for the GOP? A place where people like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee can go after their campaigns are over?I actually think it's a bit of jealousy. [The candidates] get calls from the other networks, asking them to come work for them. The two you mentioned, they got calls from other networks. The other networks tried to hire them. But they decided to come work here. We're happy about it.But doesn't hiring ex-Republican candidates make it harder for you to back up the "fair and balanced" mantra?No, not at all. Look, we hired [former Democratic Sen.] Evan Bayh within the last year. If you look at our whole lineup, we have [FNC analyst and former campaign manager for Walter Mondale] Bob Beckel, [Democratic strategist and Fox News political analyst] Doug Schoen, people like that. It's very balanced....On the left, or liberal, side, there is Alan Colmes, who dates back to the Hannity & Colmes show, as well as Fox Radio. There is Juan Williams.I respected and watched CNN when they had Lou Dobbs on, and enjoyed "Crossfire" with Buchanan and Kinsley. I have enjoyed The McLaughlin Group (more in the past) on PBS for its broad ideological tone.I respect Fox's ability to bring in people from their perceived foes' list. By contrast, the attitude by the left, most notably Barack Obama in the first two years of the Administration, was one of rampant marginalizing of Fox News. That showed the lowness of Obama's character, not of Fox News.
By the way, that attitude of Obama's is something to keep in mind at the polls. When the media was broadly in his favor, Obama still chose to assault one outlet that was clearly not playing patty-cake with him. That's the trait of a tyrannical leader. Not violent, not evil, but comfortably superior to all detractors. Obama mastered that, and few other, leadership traits.

Meaningless: President Obama, town hall in Elkhart, Ind., Feb. 02, 2009
Why should Obama be reelected? Is it because he bullshits us all so well? I don't care how people like him personally, I know plenty of folks come off as likable, but it's the evidence of their actions, words and character that matter the most. And Obama is not an anti-politician, he is an uber-politican. Here's a reminder of his blatant capacity to talk to suit his momentary goal, not to retain any ethical ground (but to look like he is).
Promises, promises, promises. Broken, breaking... BROKE.
Being broke means nothing if you work for the General Services Administration. Or, any government bureaucracy that isn't being pressured by an ethical chief, or the public, to watch their expenses.
The US Congress provided themselves raises after 2008's economic crash, despite the obvious. Yet, the current leadership is chastising the GSA leadership for their outrageous event spending. Perhaps they could lead by example.
There are different types of "entitlement", and in government, budget tightening is based on politics, not economic conditions of the general population. It seems that the essentials for the citizens, such as education and law enforcement, are what suffer. Not travel plans.
Hypocrisy reigns in politics, everyone may accept. It is not acceptable, however. It is illness.
The Obama speech at Concord Community High School in Elkhart, Indiana was very early in his campaign for reelection -- err, early in his administration. Forget that these comments put off some Vegas folks, such as the city mayor, and consider Obama's intended CONTEXT. The most inauthentic part, the most empty-promise-filled elements, are his vow and ethical posturing.
The recent outrage over GSA waste is merely an open wound from a preexisting condition that is preventable. How many other wasteful trips have there been? By how many other agencies?
... it affects towns like Elkhart, so we're going to do something strengthen the banking system. But, you know, you are not going to be able to give out these big bonuses until you've paid taxpayers back. You can't get corporate jets -- (applause) -- you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers' dime. (Applause.) There's got to be some accountability and some responsibility, and that's something that I intend to impose as President of the United States.
Well done, Mr. President. Well done.

So, how does that relate to this:
