Chick-fil-A was already moving left, but nobody noticed until it caved to LGBT lobby

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 22, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — At Chick-fil-A, the politically correct handwriting was on the wall for a long time, but most of us missed it. Until now.

Just four days since the popular chicken restaurant’s infamous announcement about reprioritizing its corporate giving, and despite the launch of a counter-narrative by conservatives Rev. Franklin Graham, Erik Erickson, and others, it’s clear that Chick-fil-A (CFA) has been on a troubling leftward trajectory for quite some time.

The revelations are stunning.

Chick-fil-A evolving into a pipeline of cash to leftist causes

CFA fans wouldn’t have been caught by surprise if they had been paying close attention to the organization’s corporate structure, according to Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, writing at Frontpage Magazine. Many of the restaurant’s loyal patrons assumed that CFA was different from other large corporations and that it continued to be guided by a biblical vision. They were wrong. The corporation was slowly evolving away from its Christian principles, but CFA wasn’t about to broadcast that.

“The Executive Director of the CFA Foundation is Rodney D. Bullard, a former White House fellow and Assistant US Attorney,” noted Greenfield. “Some may have mistaken him for a conservative because he was a fellow in the Bush Administration, but he was an Obama donor, and, more recently, had donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign while at Chick-fil-A.”

“Bullard became its Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility. Unlike charity, corporate social responsibility is a leftist endeavor to transform corporations into the political arms of radical causes,” he said. “Like other formerly conservative corporations, Chick-fil-A had made the fundamental error of adopting the language and the infrastructure of its leftist peers. And that made what happened entirely inevitable.”

Let us remember O’Sullivan’s First Law: Any organization that is not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time.

...and their commercials still encourage illiteracy, the main reason I’ve never patronized them.

Does Franklin Graham do much evangelizing? The only times I see him quoted are political statements. I often agree with his statements, but somebody needs to focus on preaching the Gospel. That was pretty much what his Dad was known for, with his many televised crusades.

I wish I knew your name because when I say something heartfelt I like to say...”Joe...I..”

So I’ll use Rocks.

Rocks, I HATE THAT WORD. You CANNOT IMAGINE just how much.

Chick-fil-a is dead to me. Any company that turns their back on the Salvation Army and denies needy children Christmas toys can go to hades.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself cave to the SJWs

Yes, Franklin Graham preaches the Gospel. But today the fight is against Satan wherever we may find him.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12 NKJV).

FRANKLIN GRAHAM is not an evangelist, but could be. He gives powerful SPIRIT-filled speeches. He heads up SAMARITAN'S PURSE INTERNATION

SAMARITAN'S PURSE is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes, people noticed it.
It began when Samuel Truett Cathey died in 2014.

But anytime anyone mentioned the change since then on Free Republic boy were hackles raised.

Graham didn’t come across as particularly bright after accepting Dan Cathy’s bogus denials of capitulation. It’s like he got the denial from the guy, and then asked no follow up questions.

Franklin Graham was in Australia this pas Winter, brought the Word in cities in North Carolina in October, and will be in Florida in January for Decision America. We have to occupy until we are called up. Pray for America that God can give us another four years of President Trump. Chick-Fil-A is dead to me.
