That's because in respectable homes Mom is cooking supper so when Dad comes home from work, they can sit down with Jr and Sis to thank the Lord for a nutritious meal. Only those scallywag troublemakers are going to Chick-Fil-A or Carl's Jr.

Because anti-LGBT isn't the defining issue of conservatism. I couldn't find a conservative/liberal poll on this so we will have to make due with Pew's survey which shows that, currently, 44% of Rs and 75% of Ds are for gay marriage.



This wildly pro-gay rights moderate eats Chick Fil A every other day. I am very aware of their giving and once I tried to edit the Wikipedia page on it to make it more accurate (and was immediately rolled back by an activist editor)

They have recently walked that back, so they're now on my menu.

However, that is not the only issue.

To clarify things, when you say center right, can you give me a few examples of which issues you feel center right about?

Assuming a longer life isn't punishment.

So he tried to raise you as a spy. Was his prototype Bond? Matt Helm? Or Maxwell Smart?

Well, he did alright I reckon. Every farm I've ever seen has been in the country. First step in organizing anything is to get 'em all in one place...in this case, the country.

Well done.
