Where have all the ethical leaders gone?

Following is a quote from an article written by Rick Joiner entitled "Signs of A Great Awakening"  in The Oak Initiative September 4, 2012 issue:



 "As the Eagle Flies

An eagle must have a left and right wing to fly, and so must America. Over the last four years we have been pulled hard to the left, and the country is going to swing back to the right now. This is shaping up to be the most brutal U.S. election in a century, but who would have thought one of the defining moments would be centered around a fast food restaurant chain owner?

Dan Cathy declared that he was not for same-sex marriage and the outrage from the left was immediate, loud, and threatening. He did not back down or compromise his convictions as so many other corporations have done. So the Gay Agenda threatened his restaurant chain, Chick-fil-A, with the biggest kiss-in demonstration in history, resolving to drive Cathy into the ground. Cathy stood his ground. The kiss-in was not only the biggest fizzle of a demonstration in recent memory, but on the day of the threatened “kiss-in,” Chick-fil-A broke all sales records. It seemed that the entire nation rose up in Cathy’s support and voted with their feet by going to Chick-fil-A.

Now it’s been weeks since that day and the crowds seem to have hardly diminished at Chick-fil-A. No amount of advertising could have brought out the kind of crowds that are still pouring into Chick-fil-A restaurants. This is another demonstration of how America is responding to bold, courageous leadership, wherever it comes from."

President Obama certainly didn't take a stand for Mr. Cathy's right to free speech and, unfortunately, neither did Mitt Romney.  Chicago Mayor Rom Emanuel took his bully pulpit and threatened not to approve any additional stores because Mr. Cathy exercised his First Amendment rights.  If one has a different opinion or belief system, denigration, hatred and persecution has become the normal response from corporations, politicians and the leftist media.   

Men and women alike saw true, ethical leadership from Mr. Cathy and responded with power.   Let's do this every time we purchase a product!  Let's do this every time we watch a biased news show! Let's do this every time we vote!

  1. Moralities, ethics, laws, customs, beliefs, doctrines - these are of trifling import. All that matters is that the miraculous become the norm.
