You know, I WOULD love to see what happens if npr doesn’t receive public funding.
To think, he’s taking heat for standing up for traditional marriage WITHOUT condemning anything.
Black is white, up is down, etc.
Chick-Fil-A sales are way up, and J.C. Penney common stock has TANKED.
This idiot prof is right by being wrong.
Chick-Fil-A is going to prosper like never before.
Add Amazon to the fray. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

I rarely frequent fast food joints, but I am going to make an effort to eat more chicken from now on. They just got four new customers from my immediate family.
“It declined requests for an interview, but in a statement said, “Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate to the political arena.”
Because we’re raking in tons of cash and serving so many people this week, we don’t have time to talk to the press.
I am hitting the local one tomorrow for lunch, I am sure I will not be alone
Why is it OK for companies to state support for a political position but not against it (rhetorical question, I know the answer)? I barely remember a peep when Starbucks supported gay marriage, didn’t even know about Target and General Mills. Oh well - thanks for the article, need to start my list from this of those places I won’t shop at anymore - Starbuck’s coffee pretty much sucks and is too expensive anyway.
I bet they scare away ALL of their customers and force them to shut their doors.
Won't they be PROUD?
“That’s a lesson Chick-fil-A seems to be learning quickly.”
That’s some darn crazy spin as Chick-Fil-A is laughing all the way to the bank. I can’t wait to get my beach towel from them. I wish they could ship their chicken.

As I understand it, gays make up only 2 or 3 percent of the population.
Having that as a guide, I would much rather sell my product for a dollar to the 98 percent and have their ongoing business, than to make $300 per sale from the 2 percent by selling my morals and credibility down the sewer.
Evidently the managers of stores like Penny’s and Starbutts had this guy for their college professor.
JC Penny’s has seen the last of my money, and Starbutts coffee is awful, so I won’t miss them, heck, I won’t even go to their “going out of business” sale.

The lure of dollars from a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender market is another likely motivator for taking certain social stands. Marketing firm Witeck-Combs estimated the LGBT market’s buying power at $800 billion last year.
If this is all about getting the LGBT to buy their products then perhaps they should take a look at the rest of their customer base who will be turned off over the LGBT pandering. Will the increased dollars from them match the dollars they will lose otherwise?
Maybe they need to look at JC Penney or Chick-fil-A for an answer to that.
