Should You Boycott Chick-fil-A?
Slate ^ | July 25, 2012 | Eliot Spitzer

Posted on 07/25/2012 2:37:34 PM PDT by cdga5for4

Chick-fil-A makes a great chicken sandwich, and I used to like getting one—with a cup of their amazing lemonade—whenever I was in the South. In fact, before I knew more about Chick-fil-A, I used to joke about helping to open one in New York.

Then I found out the company, according to the LGBT group Equality Matters, has donated millions of dollars to groups that oppose gay rights, and Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, told a Baptist newspaper that he supported the "biblical" definition of family. That’s why former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas has asked that folks who share the company's principles stop by a Chick-fil-A on Aug. 1 to show support for the company's conservative values.

"But then I laughed and remembered that I'm a liberal Democrat! It's my lifelong pursuit to DESTROY businesses, not help them prosper!"

Ha! Nice to know I disagree with that slimebag. I ordered my Chick-Fil-A t-shirt yesterday from their website. Can’t wait to wear it around NYC.

Eliot Spitzer is higher class than most Democrat politicians. At least he paid for high priced hookers with his own dime.

I doubt that Chick-Fil-A is pro-prostitution, either, so I’m thinking that’s a deal-breaker for client #9.

Not surprising - irony is usually abundant among the lib-prog crowd and they are just generally clueless about how they expose themselves to ridicule.

I wish Chick-Fil-A was publicly traded.

I’d have bought the stock the minute I heard the libs squawking.

I bet they prosper like never before.

I hope the employees have a profit sharing plan.

They are not necessarily “conservative values”, they are biblical values. Conservatives didn’t establish marriage - God did.

When I was a member of Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps, we did a standstiill at their headquarters. They fed us and gave us T-shirts. Middle 80’s.

This slime has the gall to write about the values we believe in. The values he believes in could not be spoken aloud in a public place, even in 2012.

This moral point from an adulterer and hooker procurer. Some people just need to STFU before they prove how stupid they are.

Me, too! I bet the place will be packed - more than usual. The one we go to is always packed, especially on Saturdays.

I eat there about once a month. Stepping it up to two or three times until the gay mafia gets their panties untwisted.

It’s like you’re sitting there, right inside his mind. Spooky.
