If Western chooses not to include Chick-fil-a then fine. But as V.O. Key, the famous political scientist said, "If one is 18 and not liberal, he has no heart. If one is 65 and not conservative, he has no mind." I was more liberal in my views as a college student but now I am much more conservative and this writer will be too. Chick-fil-a has the right to support whatever views it may, and as a christian, I support them. If a bunch of college kids and professors, basically the only place to find true liberals anymore in the U.S., do not want Chick-fil-a, then I think thats just fine by everyone. However, the ACLU is about as liberal as any organization in the world, and they have a long history have protecting any citizen's right to believe, unless of course they are christian and then of course they have no rights by the ACLU's standards. This is the state of liberalism in the U.S.: one can be of any social, sexual, racial, religious or political view and they deserve to be heard, unless of course they are white, heterosexual, conservative, christian men of above average income, then they must be oppressors and don't deserve to be heard. That is the definition of fascism and saying that Chick-fil-a is not deserving of their rights to believe as they see fit, is a fascist statement which as antithetical to true liberalism.
