Very well written, very direct and to the point. I did not know the Boy Scouts had put their Philmont Ranch in New Mexico up for sale as they teeter on the brink of oblivion. When Chick-fil-A is in the same boat, their new leftist masters will not even give them a glance and their former friends and supporters will be gone too. What a shame.

This is the thanks we get for coming to their aid a few years ago when they were being attacked and boycotted by the Homosexual community!

Thanks for nothing CF!

Back in the 1990’s few stood behind Dr. Laura when the gay lobby successfully forced her off of television.

And they’ve been absolutely running the table ever since.

I go to Chick Fil A because of their tasty and reasonable priced chicken sandwiches

not because whatever their politics are of the day, or what group they donate to

Doesn’t matter to me as well as many Americans who don’t let politics run their lives

They will be out of business in time. They’ll start by declining in upkeep, they’ll decline in quality of staff. Then they’ll open sundays. Then they’ll be gone.

People and organizations can either go with God or the enemy. But not both.

They have no protection

Does the public know WHO connected to Chik-fil-A proposed a change to the policy? This didn’t just happen on it’s own.
Somebody, or perhaps a group of Board Members made that decision. Did these Board Members have majority ownership?
Did they slowly soak up more and more influence via stock purchases? This, I could see happening, before others knew their intent.

Boy how fast we turn on a friend for making a mistake.

Is there any way we can help them back into the fold?

Huckabee on Chick-fil-A ‘Cave’: They Bowed Down to Bullies — Were Convinced They Needed to Be ‘More Woke’!

CLV = Customer Lifetime Value:

When left wing corporate board member idiots chase away fans/customers/buyers to promote Social Justice Warfare/Welfare BS, often those customers will stay away for their lifetime.

P&G, Nike, pro football and fill in the blank and now Chick-fil-A have ended their relationships with millions of Deplorables customers with their Justice Warfare BS marketing.

These idiots depending on the millennials to bail them out, may be even more stupid than pushing SJW BS.

CLV aka Customer Lifetime Value:

The model for customer cash flows treats the firm’s customer relationships as something of a leaky bucket. Each period, a fraction (1 less the retention rate) of the firm’s customers leave and are lost for good.[1]

The CLV model has only three parameters: (1) constant margin (contribution after deducting variable costs including retention spending) per period, (2) constant retention probability per period, and (3) discount rate.

Furthermore, the model assumes that in the event that the customer is not retained, they are lost for good.

Customer Lifetime Value:

Now I was reliably told on here by other freepers that this was all fake news and chic-fil-a wasn’t kowtowing and I was an idiot for thinking that.

I was a CFILET supporter.
No longer.
I do not respect folks who have no spines.

Adios, CFA. Maybe the lesbians up the street will take up the slack from my walking away.

Chick-fil-A rode a wave of conservative support to its highest profits ever. They didn't just survive the LGBT-initiated boycotts -- they thrived, doubling sales since the moment liberals decided it was a "controversy" to give to charities like the Salvation Army.

If that's correct, I didn't realize their sales increase was that dramatic. Whatever anyone thinks about the controversies, this latest is a really stupid business move.

Has anyone seen reports of whether sales are being impacted yet?

I visited the Philmont in 2008 long before the decline began.

I won’t be going anymore. I never thought their food was really any better or worse than most fast food places - I just went there to support a Christian organization.

I’ve never eaten at their restaurants. There are none around here anyway. Guess I won’t be eating there ever.

Corporate Chick Fil A’s Facebook page is no longer searchable on Facebook, but is on other search engines.

There are several thousand angry responses to each of their recent posts.

Advance apologies to the resident anti-FBers...

If Chick-fil-A does not reverse their decision, they will become just another fast-food chain.

Whoever made these recommendations needs to be fired, and the company needs to do some market research on their customers.

This decision was a slap in the face to their loyal customers and fans.

THIS is why I donate annually to the FRC. They are unwavering, stalwart defenders of conservatism and Christianity when no one else will.

Yes, an excellent article. Tony hits all the points dead on. And I’ll believe HIM before I believe the posters on here dismissing CFA’s traitorous move as nothing.

When you sell your soul for mammon, absolutely nothing else if off the table.

They will start opening on Sundays within 2 years. Bank on it.
