Americans ate a whole lot of chicken on Wednesday; in particular, Chick-fil-A chicken. Here in South Florida, where I live, the area’s powerhouse talk-radio station provided updates from listeners who reported standing in long lines around the fast-food chain’s various locations.

“They are making a lot of noise,” Celio Fonseca of Boca Raton told the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel of the gay lobby’s attempt to intimidate the fast-food chain’s president, Dan Cathy, for stating that his organization’s corporate culture is Christian as are its values. “But they are in the minority,” continued Fonseca, “Everyone has the right to express what they believe, and we are here to support the chain.” Fonseca is a member of the Church of All Nations.

During the height of the Bill “Bubba” Clinton scandals, Tonni Morrison, the African-American writer and activist, wrote in The New Yorker magazine:

Listening to the president’s Rose Garden remarks on Tuesday, you could tell it took every ounce of self-restraint for him not to declare martial law and arrest the five conservative justices of the United States Supreme Court, shipping them to Guantanamo Bay for an indefinite stay. The president all but conceded that the legislative monument he and Nancy Pelosi built to themselves – ObamaCare’s individual mandate – is about to land on the ash-heap of history, declared anathema, repugnant, counter to our nation’s traditions of cherished liberty … oh, and ruled unconstitutional.
