Chicago Church Leaders Slam Rahm Over Chick Fil-A Beef
Chicago mayor gets some blowback from his pandering
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has ticked off the flocks by criticizing Chick-fil-A.
Days after the big city boss blasted the chicken chain over its president's stance on same-sex marriage, an influential Baptist minister and Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago struck back. The religious leaders, who support the traditional view of marriage, were incensed at Emanuel's claim that "Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago's values."

Chick-fil-A does or does not have a values menu?
the church leaders are just as full of shit as Emmanuel. They have no problem with the heavy hand of govt enforcing their view of values. And double fuck the Catholics; they keep voting Dem then act surprised when the party elders act consistently.
