  1. Remember I mentioned the Chick-fil-a phenomenon?
    Rush reports that the lady who lost her pizza business has recovered by small donations from thousands of people.
    Our culture would survive if we had a leader. Franklin Graham or some recognized leader should step up.
    Where does intolerance really exist in America today?

  2. Lots of insight from Rush:
    “Every cause championed by liberals is based on a fake story.”
    Romney’s war on women.
    Duke Lacrosse story
    “Hands up, don’t shoot”

  3. President Obama is on television.
    He’s speaking about the Iran “preliminary” agreement.
    I have it on mute.
    But his mouth is moving.
    And I don’t believe anything he’s saying.

    That isn’t fair is it?

  4. Beneath the picture on Fox, it is written.

    “Inspectors will have unprecedented access to nuclear centrifuges”

    I wonder why they said “unprecedented” rather than “unlimited” access?

  6. On the pizza-and-tolerance subject:

    ” I’m more sympathetic to gay rights advocates who like to push opponents around than to non-gay leftists who go along for the ride. Most gays have experienced hateful forms of discrimination. Overreaction is understandable. This doesn’t excuse the current over-reaching, but it provides a sympathetic explanation.

    “But the world doesn’t revolve around gay rights — they are but one legitimate issue competing in the public policy realm. Religious freedom, enshrined in our Constitution, is another. ….

    ” … Who will stand up to the increasingly totalitarian tactics of the gay rights movement and its leftist supporters? Religious Christians will, but doing so tends to result in being fined and/or forced out of business.

    “Republicans may or may not stand up. Mike Pence, a pretty strong conservative, is backing down.

    “Corporate America won’t. In fact, it seems firmly allied with the gay rights absolutists (history teaches that corporations are hardly a bulwark against totalitarianism, creeping or otherwise). This, of course, is why Republicans tend to back down. …

    “John concluded his post with the old saying that ‘you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.’ What frightens me is that, like the man to whom the saying is attributed, the gay rights movement and its allies seem to enjoy breaking the eggs. What frightens me more is that the majority, though appalled, may be powerless to stop the spectacle.”

  7. And speaking of a totalitarian mindset, here was one FB comment on a post about the pizza owners having to close down and leave:

    You’d think people would wake up and “hear” themselves when they spout off some of these things. But they don’t.
