A Christian Business in the Left's Crosshairs

I plan to be going to Chik-Fil-A once a week for the foreseeable future. I started Monday. I wish I could get going early enough on Saturdays for their breakfasts - the burrito is great.

It is purposeful. The goal is to criminalize Christianity and destroy the family,

with the end goal of totalitarian communism.

See tagline.

Ha ha ...two days in a row you’ve made me laugh. No Chick-Fil-A in Michigan, but I hope everyone will support them. If everyone fed-up with this socially forced tolerance of gays made a point to eat there several times this month, these gay apologists might regret the profits they pushed to the company. Then maybe they’d STFU and think twice about the next target.

What the “gaystapo” is doing is nothing short of economic terrorism.

Thanks for sharing this info, Cowgirl. No CFA in Michigan, but maybe someday. I always enjoyed their commercials and support of my #2 passion, College Football (craft beer is #1!). Now I have a more informed appreciation for the company. Great stuff!

[IronJack]

Glad I could put a smile on your face. And you’re completely right about this homo-terrorism. They’re a tiny bunch of loudmouthed malcontents who make a noise way out of proportion to their numbers. We need to say it loud and say it proud: That’s “the Way,” Chick-Fil-A!

By the way, what was the other post that gave you a chuckle?

[Mich Patriot]

I’m not sure, but I think we were discussing “food for crude”. I just remember responding to one of your posts.

“...noise way out of proportion to their numbers.” EXACTLY! This is why I wish more people and companies like CFA would stand by their beliefs and not back down. I realize the CFA incident wasn’t intended as anti-gay, but they should not have backed down.

I’m not out there gay-bashing, but I won’t have it shoved at me and bow (or is ‘bend’ the right word?) to their demands for false acceptance. False acceptance is all I could ever give, and that’s not in my makeup.

Great column by Michelle Malkin. I have the privilege of knowing some of the Cathy family, many of their corporate employees, and several restaurant operators. They are some of the finest people in the world. Chick-fil-A delivers great food in a clean and friendly atmosphere with outstanding service.

Chick-fil-A is a privately held company, built by Truett Cathy and still owned by Mr. Cathy and his family. Their business is a great force for good in every community it serves. Chick-fil-A funds children's homes, camps and countless local philanthropic endeavors, and even provides scholarships for its part-time employees. Chick-fil-A closes on Sundays because the Cathys want their employees to enjoy the privilege of spending time with their families away from work. It is apparent that God has blessed their work.

It is great to see a business honor its customers, its employees, its suppliers and its communities, and to honor God in the process. One must harbor a terrible bitterness to find any fault with those practices.

I am going to Chick-fil-A for lunch today!

All three of my daughters got their first job in high school at Chick-fil A. Two of them were hired for food service jobs in college solely on the basis of a phone interview and their experience with Chick-fil A. The third wanted something other than a food service job, so had to get it with a personal interview.

Friday night for the Mrs. and I used to be Chick-fil A so we could watch our girls ar work. Now, we only do it monthly. Maybe we need to do it weekly again.

[IronJack]

I don’t think Chick-Fil-A has backed down. And with God’s grace and a firm belief in His righteousness (along with some visible support from conservatives) they won’t.

Too bad a simple business has to become a battleground, but our enemies do not rest.

A Fil-A a day keeps the poofters at bay.

[Mich Patriot]

“Poofters” - too funny.

Indeed our enemies do not rest. They won’t be satisfied until we’re all walking around in pink tights.

Not sure where you’re at, but we’re snowed in up here. Have a great day.

The stores are bright, clean.... and SPACIOUS - the lobby in front of the order counter is like a hotel mezzanine! Managers are always making their rounds in the dining area, asking customers if everything is o.k. Food is great, service is fast and friendly, and the personnel speak English!
