Just in case you were living in a fevered dream world where the love between two consenting adults trumps outdated, fairy-tale ideology, more than 1,000 dullards who lined up at a Racine Chick-fil-A Wednesday afternoon have come to wake your delusional ass up. Yes, the Journal Sentinel is reporting that hundreds upon hundreds of mouth-breathing dopes made the pilgrimage to the Racine Regency Mall, site of the sole Chick-fil-A franchise in Wisconsin, to “participate in a national show of support for the stance of the chain’s president in opposition to gay marriage and to support its right to free speech.” The so-called “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” was the brainchild of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and was backed in Wisconsin by the Madison-based Wisconsin Family Council. And lest you think the crowd was there to simply get a reasonably tasty sandwich and maybe pop over to the RadioShack (or organize a carpool to Hamburger Mary’s for its “hate-free” chicken sandwich), here are few choice quotes, courtesy of the Journal Sentinel:
“I don’t think Chick-fil-A has done anything wrong.”
“I think it’s going to ignite a spark.”
“What happened today is about Wisconsin citizens’ values and our willingness to show our support to those who share our values.”
“If you’re running for election in November, and you don’t take note of this (crowd), shame on you.”
So yeah, we might want to step away from our liberal-leaning Twitter hashtags, our liberal-leaning Reddit memes, and our “Tom Barrett for governor” bumper stickers and take notice. There’s a storm coming, Mr. Wayne, and it’s not the one we were expecting. (Though we’re guessing the 300 $5 gift cards that were handed out might have helped the cause.)
