Emanuel’s Values Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a lot to say about values these days. Two weeks ago, Emanuel was lamenting the gang culture that has gripped his city. He was right to condemn the “wrong values” of the gangbangers who are murdering innocent children in the streets. But now he’s also condemning the values of many good and decent people in his city.

Mayor Emanuel weighed in on the Chick-fil-A controversy yesterday saying, “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our neighbors and our family members. And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values.”

In a city the size of Chicago, I’m sure there are a whole lot of folks who share Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy’s view that marriage is between a man and a woman. Perhaps the mayor would like to discuss values with Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George or Dr. Erwin Lutzer of The Moody Church.

And when was the last time Rahm Emanuel stepped foot in a Chick-fil-A restaurant? Chick-fil-A’s employees are known for their respectful and welcoming attitudes.

Before running for mayor, Rahm Emanuel served as the White House Chief of Staff to Barack Obama. Before that he was a top advisor to Bill Clinton. It was Bill Clinton who signed the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. And Barack Obama got elected telling the American people that he believed marriage was between a man and a woman. Emanuel gladly worked for two presidents who said they believed in traditional marriage and shared Dan Cathy’s views.

Lastly, think about the message the mayors of Boston and Chicago are sending not to Chick-fil-A but to every business owner in their communities and across the country. “If your religious views don’t toe the liberal line, we’ll crush your business!” That’s extortion. Is that “Chicago values”?

If Emanuel and other liberal politicians will so abuse and twist zoning regulations because someone happens to take Genesis seriously — that God created Adam and Eve — what else might they do? If these left-wing politicians can’t get something as simple as marriage right, how can business owners expect them to implement commonsense tax policies?

No To Chick-fil-A, But Yes To Nation Of Islam?

Here’s a good example of the left’s moral confusion. While Mayor Emanuel is banning Chick-fil-A, he is reportedly welcoming help from Louis Farrakahn’s Nation of Islam to combat gang violence. Explaining his position, Emanuel said, “People of faith have a role to play and community leaders have a role to play in helping to protect our neighborhoods and our citizens.”

So let me get this straight: A businessman who believes in normal marriage is not allowed to create jobs in Chicago because his Christian views do not represent “Chicago values.” But Farrakahn is allowed to police the city’s streets in spite of his extensive history of anti-Semitism and prejudice.

In Emanuel’s mind, Dan Cathy is an intolerant, disrespectful bigot, but Louis Farrakahn is a “man of faith” and a “community leader.”

But Wait… There’s More!

Roseanne Barr, that fount of wisdom, has chimed in too! Yesterday she tweeted: “anyone who eats S–t Fil-A deserves to get the cancer that is sure to come from eating antibiotic filled tortured chickens 4Christ.” How’s that for tolerance and respect?

Senate Votes To Raise Taxes

Yesterday, the United States Senate voted 51-to-48 to raise taxes on small business owners, investors and entrepreneurs starting January 1, 2013, and on everyone else in 2014. The Senate bill also raises capital gains taxes to 20% and increases the death tax to 55% on family businesses, farms and estates valued at more than $1 million.

This vote was entirely symbolic. Tax legislation must originate in the House, and the House leadership has made it clear that tax increases are a non-starter.

There is a lot of talk in Washington about the need to raise additional revenue in order to balance the budget. But that assumes the problem is a lack of revenue rather than too much spending.

According to a recent New York Times report, economists estimate that raising taxes on those making $250,000 and more would raise about $85 billion a year. Last year’s federal deficit was $1,300 billion. So even after raising taxes on the rich, we’re still $1,215 billion short. That’s why some politicians want to raise taxes on everyone else in 2014.
