Chick filet it's not Chica bill I'm sorry I tried to adjust on the edge -- company chick filet. Mumbled Menino. The mayor of the city of Boston has decided to try to stop the chick filet from coming into the city. You know I mean this after a stop Wal-Mart for comment or make a plane Roxbury. If it were saved people tons of money people and we're given to people decent. Jobs in entry level jobs that the Cordoba. That they could -- to what to work their way up and Wal-Mart. But he he all -- no known known they're not unionized and now now chick filet. They have a run afoul. Support and expressions. Pardon upon. Of the mayor because their boss. Their owner guy named Doug on -- Dan Cathy. Is is opposed to gay marriage so they can't be in the city because there's so much so much for celebrating diversity so much for a freedom of expression. -- as an editorial Merrill and it's pretty good editorial. We're trying to imagine a big city mayor telling the world that he refuses to grant government permits to restaurant business whose CEO happens to. Support gay marriage. The condemnation of such an abuse of government power would be swift overwhelming and appropriate. But Boston Mayor Tom Menino apparently doesn't see any problem using the power of his government office -- issue threats to a private company whose CEO. Does not happen to share the mayor's own personal or political views. By the way is anyone really think that mumbled Menino. From from Hyde Park seventy years old from an old Italian family. Is really for gay marriage c'mon give me a boring he's duty he's just he just wants to was sucked up to the new Bostonians. After depriving one Boston neighborhood of a much needed grocery store because he opposes wal mart's labor policies Menino is now turning his attention that chick filet. Proclaiming it will be a cold day in hell because one of its rest -- before one of its restaurants -- Allowed to open your -- annual hall. You gab amended immersive -- that discriminate against the population. Menino -- adding if they need light did you did did the video will be Beverly -- call the let they opened up their politics. Their policies as far as we can tell include one selling chicken and two closing on sat Sundays because their religious CEO beliefs as an employee should spend time with their families. What -- really objects to -- CEO Dan cap these personal beliefs as well as his. Public statements in opposition to same sex marriage she may also object to the money that cap these public foundation has donated to. Christian and pro family in the game to opponents groups. None of that amounts to a discriminatory company policy. But in many knows this city and yes if you he can -- withhold permits on a subjective basis it is indeed Menino city. The punishment for failing to total progressive line is banishment. Northeastern students recently talked administrators out of putting a chick filet and students that are based on the same concerns over cap these beliefs. But that was the decision of a private institution this kind of threat from. Powerful government official is -- embarrassment and embarrassment. If carried out it would likely violate cap these constitutional rights we wouldn't blame chick filet units perspective landlord if they decided it wasn't worth the fight clearly that is what Menino was hoping -- -- in other words this guide and Kathy that -- chick filet he -- represents a majority view point. In the in the united states of American if you don't believe me let's go to the I want one just before -- phones these were mentioned this Paul. In this is in the pioneer press. Them a new poll of likely Minnesota voters showed a fifteen. Point lead in favor of the constitutional amendment defining marriages one man and one woman. A fifteen point lead 52% of voters said they would vote for the amendment the 37% against that. You know. So there. So here's one of the more liberal states in the country you know again a state that they thought well maybe this would be the first state where they can actually. Get the voters to agree to. Same sex marriage I guess they passed through -- Arizona after they watered it down. But no one is ever really approved gay marriage -- say -- -- -- statewide referendum including in places like why the in California very very liberal states and of course. Here in the very liberal state Massachusetts we were not even allowed to vote on because they -- would be voted. 18774694322. Should should chip away be would be banned from the city of Boston because it's politically incorrect. Kevin your next with how we cargo ahead Kevin. Hey Ali let me -- -- -- -- out pro gay marriage doesn't bother me in the least and look Menino is doing is simply outrageous. I'm wondering world of good government liberals are maybe it reviewing Obama's strong policy put something in on this one -- -- But this is absolutely outrageous -- too liberal fascism. What he's doing to get it it's 3232. By the way at the ballot box holding down. Gay marriage okay yeah it's the do okay compared to 2000 years of recorded history and 91 year old guy. That built the business with the all the help from everybody involved right or occupant in the it was Warren got to pave the roads and what else -- All the help to the 91 year old back. He's now being told -- can't he can't open a business is based on the whims of our daily literate there it's ridiculous. What does this herald is absolutely right if this were going the other way of a conservative mayor telling a telling a gay group they couldn't open a restaurant. That would be be it it would it would be a front page story in the New York Times. And rightly so probably but the shares on the other foot and it just shows the hypocrisy but liberals they -- so. Unbelievably hypocritical. On court issues -- really become someone I don't know this issue and it -- take a look -- what they do things like. I I know and and the other thing too was this Wal-Mart the would you know the denying Wal-Mart right to come into the city that was disgraceful as well you know I mean how -- I was just appear I mean that would that would have been great economic news for everybody in Roxbury in Jamaica Plain. But he he stiffed it because he would he say he's in bed with these these these trade unions. Should it took it up or Hillary Clinton so I don't know Wal-Mart board of directors like each and every one of those all of these. Was put in place. Thanks for the call Kevin Bob by 18774694322.

Don't all minorities have a right not actually that patience for. It has gotten comments and despite the -- Instantly -- racist idea. It costs it was harder. It's harder for them to get identification. To minorities because -- -- -- Yeah supposedly supposedly. Yeah I don't. I don't live brokers are gonna wanna control them but. There -- they want people that try to fish pride and. Yeah yeah -- you're right I mean you are supposed to show lie and -- they want -- they want tougher identification policies but you know the benefit of the -- that make the identification policy.

I'd like to know I'm sure ram rom Emmanuel doesn't keep these statistics because they're they would be politically incorrect but. Of the 271. People have been killed in Chicago this year murder. -- I would assume. That the vast majority of been slammed with handguns or are some kind of firearm. How many of those firearms. Are registered how -- firearms. Have legitimate owners that have FID cards. They may be -- the 270. They -- Marianne you're next with Howie -- go ahead Marianne. You know I don't know why these larger companies like Wal-Mart should relate at all to do -- You know did not file for a the restriction of trade agreement it you know a lot to against. Stuff like this because I'm on how they can do that when it's an absolutely illegal companies providing illegal product how they can stop them. From competing with other companies that self fried chicken -- living actor doing I don't know why one doesn't just -- something against these people like Menino. Yeah I mean he you know the other thing to Marion is it if you was going around like shaking people down you know for money. To give them permits with the feds would be the feds would be wiring people. How is this any different than denying it denying. But it's -- he's denying them permits because he doesn't agree with their politics be the the impact is the same is a -- Building unless you pay off the mayor. I think typically every direction of trade -- against any other companies that try to lift from the try to compete I don't get why that that apply here.
