I’d tell Hiltzik to KMA, but the pixie might consider it foreplay.

What makes Chick-fil-A differ from other boycotts is not the nature of the company or the protesters. It is the threats of public officials to withhold their permits, etc., that makes this unique.

God bless the owner or president of Chick-fil-A.

You’re right: he has awakened a sleeping giant with his courage to publicly speak his convictions, which is something Sarah Palin does too..

I’ll pray you can help save your company in much the same manner.

Take care, dearest you.

After a string of positive reports on Chick-fil-A's booming business in local media outlets across the country, the hate-mongers in the more "sophisticated" opinion journals came out, usually mocking Christianity and hinting that the Cathy family were longtime contributors to organizations that sought to destroy gay couples and their beautiful "families."

This is exactly what the MSM (see Smith, Shep) already believe, but they ratcheted up the rhetoric today. I expect the orgasmic success stories about the "Kiss-In" on Friday are ready to be posted right now; all they need are some carefully cropped photos.

Thank You very much for your kind words, with a fleet of 8 concrete mixers and being in business for 25 years, now starting my 18th year this is the worst ever, usually I am working thelve hour shifts 6 days a week this time of year and we have about a dozen employees.

I am the last mixer driver, we have not sent out a single concrete order since last week, and that week was only just a couple of small orders. Had very good perfect weather, but nobody is buying concrete.

Its almost like a feeling that you see on a sci-fi show just before the end of the world, people sense the end is near and are just waiting for it.

is this how the conversion to Socialist America feels? Like losing all you worked for, to be cornered into desperation? To beg for handouts from the Feds?

I am quite sure my story isn’t the sole example, actually I am pretty firm its all across America, the Obamanomics Plague.

I’m so sorry and sad for you all. Yep, this is the Marxist’s America. Poverty and punishment.

It’s awful here too. Stuff is being stolen from our front porch, so now it’s bare. We leave NOTHING outside. Not even plastic drinking glasses or half filled bottles of water.

“I’m sick to my almost death of these damn libtards.”

I have stopped feeling that way. To get away from the political “crap” on the news, I’m watching more movies and not keeping the news on all day long.

I’ve decided to create my own world with my Yorkie so my days are more peaceful since I can’t change the country or the rest of the world. Sure, I vote, but that is not going to save this country as we are already bankrupt. When it collapses, Prissy and I will be just fine - our world will be the one I created for us, seperate from the chaos that will be out there.

Try to give yourself some peaceful time away from the fray.

Ate there for the very first time today. Not sure what all the noise is about, and may not do so again. Mediocre.

That's ok. I know a person who doesn't care for lobster. We don't all have the same taste for foods.

Obligatory liberal sneer: "What are all these women doing in line then?"

Cheers!

I don’t think the people were there today for the culinary aspects of the food.”

No, it is not exactly fine dining but, at least during the last four years, I have yet to eat there and get cold chicken strips or fries on a more normal, but always busy day. I would hope that people who were dissatisfied with the food would cut them a little slack given the huge uptick in business. I know I would be in a real pickle if I had planned on having 20 people for dinner and 2,000 showed up. I am sure their first priority today was getting people served and out as quickly as possible.

Anyone can stand up for something one time but it is going to take continuing support from everyone for a long time to make any lasting inroads.

Hiltzik concluded his piece by complaining that "corporate executives surrounded by yes men telling them how wise they are will probably continue to try sharing their wisdom on subjects well outside their core competencies."

And newspaper columnists surrounded by sycophants in the newsroom sharing their "wisdom" on subjects well outside their "core competencies" (which are completely unknown at this time) is even more objectionable, Mr. Hiltzik.

Take it...and stuff it.
