Since the religion police have taken over the thread, and your question got drowned out, let me answer it. Yes, KFC is VERY anti-gun. They're the only chain I know of in Memphis that has posted no guns.

The only thing endearing them is that PETA hates them.

Long insulting rant at the religious zealots deleted.
So when someone states their beliefs, and then defines the faith or philosophy that defines their belief, they're being religious zealots / religion police?

Statements like that are what cause liberal's to loose all credibility with me.

Aren’t you being a liberal zealot when you insult any opinion that contradicts your own, or is ‘your way’ the only right way, which is so common with liberals… Liberals accuse everyone of doing precisely what liberals themselves do, and condemn everyone that opposes their beliefs.

It is just flabergasting that this philosophy could ever have gained a foothold in this once incredible society.

What you describe is human nature, not a liberal or conservative trait.

People tend to have a set world view and naturally become hostile when confronted by someone with a differing world view.

It's almost amazing we aren't constantly slaughtering each other in the streets due to this fact.

Of course, this is the internet, which often cause people (from all over the political spectrum) to lose their inner filter, throw all tact to the wind and type things they would never say in person.

I too will and do boycott McDonalds, and KFC and many others as well for their Anti-Rights activity. Namely their support of those who wish to take away my 2nd Amendment rights. That is the only reason though. If any of them was pro-2nd amendment I would support them irregardless of their other policies. That is the single most important political issue for me. If we lose that one then we lose our ability to protect ourselves from any other issue.

I would say anything and everything I say here, in person.

And, I've never once witnessed the common condescending attitude of liberals in any other political or philisophical demographic, nor have I ever heard any conservative or Christian, ever advocate the slaughter of those with whom they disagree.

As an outsider to both liberalism and conservatism, I've experienced wrath from both :lol:

Also, my post wasn't necessarily directed at you, but was more an observation regarding human nature. The same thing you say about the libs, the libs say about the cons.

It would almost be comical if it wasn't so divisive.

I mean even Christian church's have publicly announced that they are ok with this.

An honest person today does not have anywhere to turn for moral support. There is always something. I mean. You can't even teach the Bible, you have to put up with the acceptance of homosexual's in church, restaurants, schools, your job!

I for one do not condone homosexuality. I think it is immoral and against God's word.
+1 If we tolerate this they'll push they gay agenda on farther. They do NOT keep the blinds closed, it's only peoples eyes they want closed, closed to the truth. I'm not afraid to say it, but homosexuality is immoral, and has no place in open society.

I do not care if my opinion is considered unpopular, it's my opinion and I vote and spend accordingly.
