No it doesn't. Go read it again. He urges them not to come there, and gives his personal opinion that they don't belong. He doesn't say anything about using any kind of official or statutory power to prevent them. Instead he seems to be invoking public opinion to persuade them not to.

“Originally, I said I would do every­thing I can to stop them.’’ Menino said in an interview at City Hall.

As mayor thats banning. Thats why he had to clarify.

Okay, so Menino misspoke. He does that. It's why we make fun of him regularly. That and his speech impediment. He's since clarified that the store is in no sense banned. He just thinks they shouldn't come to Boston, because culturally they'd be a bad fit, and he urged them to reconsider opening a store there.

Oh yea, he's clarified so its fine.

But yea CFA chicken sandwiches are worth your soul!

The First Amendment is more important when it protects chicken sandwiches than when it protects muslims.

I had CFA once, when I lived in AZ temporarily, and El Pollo Loco is far superior.

Thats because I am a French Republic kind of guy. I've changed my view on that fyi.

Main line of defense against a certain legion.

I'm glad he clarified it. Its a job for some if Chik-Fill-A does open there. Granted its fast food and min. wage but its a job. Like they say. "Money Talks BS walks"

Thats because CFA chicken is awesome! Worth your soul. Muhammad would not like that bargain. None shall stand in the way of CFA world domination!

Blech. I can't stand Pollo Loco. Tasteless. Your mileage may vary.

yep. I'm still hardcore separation of religion and staate though.

Big M would have to do serious soul searching if he eats a sammich there. Food of the infidels or I need to open a couple real soon

We can just open another Dunkin Donuts on the spot. We drink that stuff like it was liquid crack. You can open two on the same block and they'll do fine.

Mmm chocolate filled donuts. Me likey.

Thank you Mitt. It's good to know where you stand now that it's no longer a party issue. Any particular reason for this last minute conversion?

Where as you jumped straight into the 'that's out of context the bible doesn't really mean any of those things even though it says those exact fething things' schtick pretty much straight away. Which is, unfortunately, par for the course.

Fast food resteraunts are actively harmful to the U.S. economy.

1. Frazzled has determined that all Mitt notations shall be restylized as "Mittney." You're behind the curve there infidel!
2. Not last minute. As I said I am a libertarian. Leave me alone all you's guys.

See the evilness of this sandwich.

Quiet! We're now talking about the greatness of chocolate filled donuts. Frazzled has spoken!

Frazzled wrote:Thats banning actually, as thats what he was actually saying. He would everything in his power to keep them from being there. California should retaliate by banning all commerce with Boston or alternatively beating their ass in all sporting events.

No, that isn't banning, because the Mayor has no direct power to pick and choose what franchise junk food stores set up.

I could write you a letter in which I tell you I will do everything in my power to stop you posting on dakka, and it wouldn't ban you from the site, because I have no power to actually stop you posting here.

At worst it means if Chic-Fil-A wanted the mayor's office on side, to help expand the business by supporting new developments that'd benefit Chic-Fil-A's, then he might want to reconsider his strategy, but that's a pretty vague set up. Mostly it's just a letter from one private citizen to another saying "I don't like that you're being a dick".

If its religion based. No. The only religion that would fit me and accept me is greek/roman Gods. Because if I hold to trapping of todays religion I'm on a express frieght elevator to Hell because I broke every rule.

Some Christians would accept you; the religion's about forgiveness and redemption, after all.

I used to know a guy who was a Mithraist. No reason you can't still worship the Soldiers' God.

I'd go for Odin, or tyr personally, I've heard Valhalla is quite fun
