Gay Activists continue to work at setting their movement back 50 years.

Legal Insurrection provides this scene of gay activists spreading the message of tolerance by forming a mob and mocking an elderly African-American street preacher:

I attended Friday night’s “Kiss-in” protest outside the only Chick-fil-A location in Chicago. The small group of between twenty to thirty protesters gathered outside the restaurant around 7pm. A few same-sex couples took the opportunity to kiss in public, as the protest organizers encouraged attendees to do on their facebook page.

I asked many of the protesters whether they agreed with Alderman Moreno’s actions; the reactions were mixed. Some agreed — one woman told me she took a “European view” of our Constitutional Rights — while others felt he was in the wrong despite agreeing with him in a general sense.

While there, a group formed around an elderly African-American homeless man, who was reading his bible while seated along a fence rail off to the side of the protest. Some in the group confronted the man, who was reading the bible aloud, and engaged him in theological debates. A few others took the opportunity to mock the man, which I captured on video...

Nearing the end of the protest, someone from the group wrote on the sidewalk in front of the homeless man, “He’s Really Gay Deep Down,” with an arrow pointed to where he was seated.

The Truth of Art - "That Lying Son of Bitch Johnson" Division.

Fired drive-through bully explains:

[Rachel], you should know that I never planned to say the things I said to you that day, and how I said them. I planned to peacefully participate in the August 1st YouTube post where Jackson Pearce asked people to simply order a large water to show support for the gay community.

But when I got to your window, after seeing all the people in and outside the restaurant that came to support Chick-fil-A, I lost it. I just lost it. I couldn’t believe the number of people came out to support a corporation that associates themselves with anti-gay groups, like Exodus International and the American Family Association.

Jenny? Things got a little out of hand. It’s just this war and that lying son of a bitch Johnson and…

Actually, that's an interesting explanation on the part of Adam Smith.

Look at what he says caused his "near-psychotic break" - "But when I got to your window, after seeing all the people in and outside the restaurant that came to support Chick-fil-A, I lost it. I just lost it."

What Smith is saying is that he was surprised at the number of people who disagreed with his position. Perhaps he was surprised that there were such people or that they were sufficiently motivated to turn out, but whatever the real reason was, the genesis of his break was his surprise that there were so many people who disagreed with him.

It makes sense that in a fit of cognitive dissonance, he would "break" as he tried to make reality conform to his mental structure of reality by seeking to explain away what he was seeing, i.e., everyone else was deluded or evil or ignorant or whatever.

So, he suffered a "break."

The real issue is why was he surprised?

The answer is, obviously, that the other side has been marginalized to such an extent that liberals can go through their life without confronting the uncomfortable reality that there are real people who disagree with them and that these real people aren't the caricatures of evil they expect. And, so, when that happens, a person like Smith begins to treat real people - even innocuous, minimim-wage employees - according to the caricature.

Prudence, according to Joseph Pieper, is the foundation of ever virtue. Prudence is nothing more than the habit of the intellect that recognizes reality itself. Without prudence, we can't hope to exercise the other virtues, such as justice or love.

Gay Chick-Fill-A Demonstration sets mainstream acceptance of Gays back by 50 years.

It's beyond parody.

I mean that literally. A few years ago, the Onion published "Gay-Pride Parade Sets Mainstream Acceptance Of Gays Back 50 Years":

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA–The mainstream acceptance of gays and lesbians, a hard-won civil-rights victory gained through decades of struggle against prejudice and discrimination, was set back at least 50 years Saturday in the wake of the annual Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade.

"I'd always thought gays were regular people, just like you and me, and that the stereotype of homosexuals as hedonistic, sex-crazed deviants was just a destructive myth," said mother of four Hannah Jarrett, 41, mortified at the sight of 17 tanned and oiled boys cavorting in jock straps to a throbbing techno beat on a float shaped like an enormous phallus. "Boy, oh, boy, was I wrong."

The Onion's parody became reality in the Chick-Fill-A counter demonstration as shown in these pictures:

Because nothing says "tolerance" like open-hatred for other people's most cherished beliefs.

Because nothing says we are serious and deserve respect like a hairy man wearing a leopard print dress.

Because nothing says "tolerance" like vandalism.

Schadenfreude Alert.

It's hard not to feel good about this, but I'll do my best.

The tool who berated the unlucky, minimum-wage earning Chick-Fill-A employee has been fired from his position as Chief Financial Officer for Vante:

TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.

On the other hand, while Smith was an ass-hat, he was a ass-hat on his own time. He has as much right to be an off-work asshat and keep his job as anyone, particularly if his ass-hattery. I think the better move for Vante would have been to issue its press release but not to fire Smith - the key to combatting "bad" speech and all around ass-hattery is more speech, which may include pointing out that Smith is an ass-hat.
