Some history and historical pictures at the source of this FR thread.
Yes, its fairly impressive, but is it anything more than an easy gesture?
We are still being swamped by the Left and its plans - Nanny-statism, political correctness, and massive, intrusive, over-spending Gov’t. Eating chicken one day isn’t going to change that.
Everyone should ask themselves every day - what am I going to do this day to change the path this country is on?
Spot on article that represents everything from my Chick-Fil-A experience this evening.
1) What did you order?
2) How much was it?
3) How was it?
4) What’s your fav fast-food place?
I'm going to postulate that if the lefties keep pushing, the feelings of the people mentioned in the last sentence might change. Not so much hate as a righteous anger and determination. Be careful what you wish for, lefties.
“interviewing the two or three pro-same sex “marriage” protestors ... while making a valiant effort to position their cameras at such an angle as to exclude the lines of customers”
They’re only fooling themselves and looking like fools to the rest of us.
1) The regular Chicken sandwich combo w/ waffle fries and coca cola, they were out of Spicy Chicken.
2) I believe a bit over $6. Equivalent in price to any other fast food lunch/dinner menu combo.
3) Waffle fries were only ok. Chicken sandwich was quite good and even better than I had experienced on my few prior CFA experiences. The Coke though was the biggest surprise given the time at night and how busy the location was all day, it was crisp and bubbly.
4)No particular favorite though I will give a shout out to Steak N Shake.
Darned if this writer hasn’t totally nailed it.
*Big bump*
When dinner time neared, we spoke with friends who also thought of having Chic Fil A but we're wondering about the crowds and the heat (it as reached 102 with heat index of 108), but we convinced them to give it a try and this time headed out to an area West of KC called "The Legends" (next to the KC, KS NASCAR track) but crowds were absolutely astonishing!
Full sun, no shade, 102/105 temps., moms, dads, kids, babies, old folk, teens, guys in overalls, truckers, blacks, orientals, Hispanics.
We arrived shortly after 5:00 p.m., got our food around 7:50 and left about 8:15.
As people were waiting to order, management might announce they were almost out of say, waffle fries or chicken salad, people would say, "give me what you have the most of," or some who had waited more than an hour asked for a shake or lemonade.
No one got angry, in fact, when orders were ready and employees were calling out names, guests would help and loudly announce, "Nancy" or some such and as the customer made their way up front to get his or her order, the crowd would cheer and applaud!
How about that for "hate," Menino or Rahm?
It certainly wasn't YOUR Chicago Way!
No surprises. No crowd shots but full coverage of four "gay couples" prancing around near the street level discussing "hate & discrimination" and "one couple" kissing for the cameras.
They did show one lady who said this was about free speech but that she also supported the owner of CFA.
What a sham of a so-called story, but the good news today is that hundreds to thousands across the KC Metro area experienced the truth, they didn't need to rely on the media to report it.
I’d send this to my lib sister but her head would explode.
But...but it just happened.
"WE" are everywhere across this great land.
Very, very, very well-written. Thanks.
“They’re only fooling themselves and looking like fools to the rest of us.”
They know the masses oppose them, as the ballot box has indicated EVERWHERE it was voted on. They’ll simply do end runs to get their way.
FWIW, this doesn’t bode well for Obama or the Dems; it is just another wildly unpopular position they have taken, and there will be fallout.
The man in line behind me in Monroe, NC, around 4:00 p.m. realized that he’d gotten in the shortest line, while others had been waiting longer, so he waved half a dozen people to go ahead. One lady said, “This is the kind of people who come to CFA,” and her friend asked, “Are you married?”
"CFA Mingles Night."
“be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up”
So, maybe the “image” isn’t “golden”, but perhaps a shade of brown...
Not a bad idea ... at least women could probably safely assume the men were not homosexual.
I know how Chick-fil-A is doing (great) now I’d like to know how JC Penny is doing...
Watch for fun and joy:
