Before he was elected to the House, I was writing about Tim Scott, now the Senator-designee for South Carolina. Here is his great story of how Chick-fil-A changed his life.
Young Mr. Scott did, however, hold down a part-time job taking tickets at a movie theater. The Chick-fil-A was next door. He bought fries there regularly. The restaurant’s proprietor, a guy named John Moniz - a “Christian conservative white Republican, although I didn’t know it at the time,” Mr. Scott said - “just started recognizing me, and one day he came up and sat down next to me and started talking.”
Moniz (now deceased) somehow struck a chord with the young customer. Moniz talked about the virtues of discipline and concentration. They talked often and built a cross-generational friendship. Something clicked. Young Scott started applying himself to his studies. He earned a partial football scholarship to Presbyterian College, transferred (leaving football behind) to Charleston Southern University, and earned a degree in political science.
“My mother taught me how to shoot for the stars, but [Moniz] taught me how to think it through,” Mr. Scott told me. “It’s about thinking your way out of poverty.”
Scott should make a great U.S. Senator.

It really shows who the right is when you look at Chick-Fil-A. Mitt Romney shut down Chick-Fil-A & the right applauded him for it, & then conservatism's voice in America was snuffed out as a consequence, & the right continued to just bend over & take it.
Conservatives know that the right will abuse them in public by the right. Oh sure, during the off season, the right claims to be conservative. But during elections, the right is a communist be default.
If any conservative gets elected in America is is in spite of the rights' abandonment.

" look at Chick-Fil-A. Mitt Romney shut down Chick-Fil-A & the right applauded him for it"? I read extensively and I am not aware of any reporting or the facts of what you're mouthing off about. How could Romney "shut down" this happening when millions of CFA [myself one of them] patiently stood in line to buy their products on 8/1/12 [and I have the receipt to prove my participation] in protesting the immorality of homosexuality? Tell the GD truth!

You're an example of the stupidity that resulted in the re-election of this DT on 11/6/12!!!!!!!!

"Think your way out of poverty." Sorry Tim, but that's not what people want. It's too hard. They'd rather get trophies for participating, free Obama phones and other handouts for doing nothing.

Tim Scott is the anti Barack Obama. We need to de-unionize public education so that more Tim Scott's can evolve!!!!!!!!

Scott/West 2016! I prefer to bet on Black!

Amen to that! I'm a huge fan of Col. West. Those dumbarses in West Palm Beach, Florida that rejected him are worse than moronic!!!!!!!!

In American it is still possible to BORK a conservative [even a African American one]. Radicalism knows no boundaries and the STUPIDS of this nation put up with same!!!!
