So there has been a lot of talk regarding ChikFilA and the Muppets. Now Boston is thrown into the mix. And Mike Huckabee. I actually feel rather strongly about this whole thing, so I figured I would jot down some of those sentiments. Mainly for my sister, because I apparently make her laugh.

So the Jim Henson, Co. comes out and says they don’t wanna do business with CFA anymore because CFA hates queers....

In turn, CFA says cool- we’re pulling your children’s toys NOW from our little food packs, because they probably make kids gay anyway. And we’re gonna say it’s for ‘safety reasons’, but also say no children have yet been hurt. CFA apparently doesn’t know the difference between the truth and a lie. Because they totes just lied. Be the bigger person and say ‘hey- we have differing views on morality and shit, and because of that choose to not do business with one another anymore. Therefore, ergo, herewith to we are pulling their toys from our children’s meals.’ Easy peasy lemon squeezy. And not a lie.

So in retaliation, the Mayor of Boston issues this letter:

And in re-retaliation, Mike Huckaby issues this statement, which brilliant right wingers have already taken to Paint and made glorious:

Alright, people. CFA doesn’t do the gay thing- whatever. That’s their choice. And it’s also someone’s choice to not support CFA for that. I am not a patron of CFA. Haven’t been for a while. I would only eat there on the night they did a value meal for $3.25 for local college students here in Cookeville, because I was poor as shit. Haven’t done that since the Spring, and especially won’t now since I’ve gotten back on the no-meat-bandwagon. Regardless, I won’t stop there for coffee, ice dream (which blows ass btw), or anything else. BECUAUSE I SUPPORT WHAT THEY BLATANTLY  DON’T SUPPORT.  The end. Yes, I think they are haters and it’s rude and the way they’re going about upholding their ‘beliefs’ is bullshit- but they are entitled to be that way. Because it’s America, y’all. We are just as entitled to not eat there, to write a letter stating they should not locate in our city, and to ignore the shit stupid people are going to post about all this- both liberals and conservatives. Bottom line: I think CFA was misleading in things; they have the right to be whatever. However, I think they handled this completely wrong- 'morally' and business-wise. I do applaud the Mayor of Boston and Lisa Henson/Jim Henson, Co., both for taking a stand; as is also their right. Finally and perhaps most importantly, Mike Huckabee needs to learn to read.
