Chick-fil-A gave $2 million to seven anti-gay groups in 2010, the most recent year for which figures are available, according to Equality Matters' analysis of its charitable giving.

Eat mor chikin.

A big fan of the cow commercials. A few years ago when there was the mad cow scare in the USA, the company pulled those commercials for a time. They didn’t take advantage of the beef peoples woes. That showed incredible character

This is so laughable. How come when people give money to a cause the left tries to make it sound soooooooooo bad. Question to all you libs out there... why do you think it is YOUR way or the highway all the time? News flash: “It aint!!!
We don’t whine about who you all give to and we really don’t care so... try doing something constructive instead of crying and whining all day long. Must be exhausing to spend so much time on that kind of thing huh? Perhaps that’s why you (the libs) are so unhappy and cranky all the time.

I want to support them but I’m not crazy about their prices...

I just posted the same thing. They should offer some coupons once in a while.

I wish I could stomach their food. Way too salty, unfortunately

I can handle salt but their chicken has too much chicken in it and I hates chicken.

The chicken chain's policies have led to protests at 10 universities from people who don't want its restaurants on their campus.

Sadly, I guess the students who don't think like these liberal robots didn't mobilize in time to counter the intolerance of the anti Chick-Fil-A crowd.

Sure. We had the old “Blue Laws” which closed any store other than food, gas, etc., stores on Sunday’s. A Walmart, K-Mart, Sears, the mall, etc. could not be open today under those laws back then. We still had them here in Alabama in the 1960s. Sunday, you could forget it going shopping. Not today. When I was in the Army in Germany, the German stores were all closed on Saturday and Sundays, except one half-day on Saturday once a month. They were never open on the weekends. That was still for people’s family time. Not work.

Their owner was a Christian I believe and always closed on Sundays as they still do.

Forbes reported that the owner is a "devout Baptist" and insists that all his restaurants close on Sunday to give an opportunity to all employees who want to, to attend church and he also believes in all of the commandments.

In the same edition, Forbes also reported that he was losing $500,000,000 per year by closing on Sunday. That shows you how much Forbes knows, he isn't losing anything but gaining much.

I wish that Moveon.org or some other left wing group would post a nationwide list of all of the businesses that good liberals are supposed to boycott. I would try to give all of my business to companies on the list.

The HRC (Homo Reich Crusade) publishes a "buyer's guide." If you can stomach going to their website, it's actually a pretty good list for guidance. Exxon earns a NEGATIVE for oil companies, so that's where I buy my gas.

Now my personal vendetta won't make the oceans rise, but it satisfies me.

It's not a vendetta, it's 'consumer choice', and too many businesses forget that we have it. I like your ideas, and the more of us who incorporate them when WE shop, the more businesses might start considering us.

I work for a national chain, in a division that sells decorative and functional items for the home. We are ALWAYS reminded that good customer service is VITAL to our existence. We are encouraged to smile at customers, and greet them, even if we're just walking through the store, on our way to and from the break room or bathroom, or whatever! Acknowledge their existence, and give them a smile; it may be the ONLY one they receive while they're out and about today, and they WILL remember it!

I live in MA, but I'm from the South, and customers from time to time will tell me that they could tell I'm from the South. I'll ask, "because of my accent?", and they say, "No, because you're pleasant." LOL. Folks here do tend to be a little 'short', as they say, with customers, and just anyone, so I guess I DO stand out.

I’d love to support Chick-fil-a, but sadly there are none in Michigan. Not sure how far north they come, or if there are any future plans to expand north.

We have them here in northern Illinois, but I'll assume you wouldn't want to make a foray behind enemy lines into the Peoples Republic.

But the real struggle is pulling the trigger on Solar and Wind power.

Solar will eventually be expedient, wind, maybe not. I'm assuming you don't have a creek or stream with a fall and water rights, on your property.

I watched an episode of The Glass House on TV the other day. Typical trash reality show, but I was bored. There is a flamboyantly gay guy on there. I do find it interesting to see how the straight people react to him. Well, in this episode, he got into a conversation with another contestant named Andrea who happens to be a Mormon. He asked her about her views on gay marriage, and she was honest with him that it goes against her religious beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman. She told him that she doesn’t judge him or look down on him, but she just can’t support the gay marriage position.

This really set him off, so he spent the rest of the episode trying to convince the other house guests that they needed to send her to “Limbo” because she is a bigot. There was backlash against him, with one straight guy actually voting to send his own hookup/girlfriend to Limbo instead of the Mormon girl.

I kept thinking that the thing nobody talks about is that if someone is a Christian or Mormon, they most likely belong to a church that teaches that homosexuality is a sin. This woman was actually theologically correct in her response to the guy. She told him that being gay wasn’t a sin, but acting on his gay tendencies is. It hit me that the only way you can be a Christian and not face the ire of the guys is if you abandon your church’s teaching on homosexuality. In other words, fake Christians are okay, but real Christians are bad.

Gays who have that belief are anti-Christian zealots. Nothing more.

This message typed from Chik-Fil-A.

We grew up with stores closing on Sunday. Didn’t hurt us OR them a bit.

I grew up in small town U.S.A., everything closed on Sunday. If you absolutely had to have a prescription filled on Sunday, you called the pharmacist/owner of the drug store, he would go to the store, fill your prescription, bring it to your house and put it on your bill if you asked him to, if he timed the delivery right he might stay for dinner too.

The doctor in the town delivered me and three of my brothers and sisters at home. My older brother, born in 1937 cost $30, I have the receipt for that one.

Ha ha, well I travel to Chicago on business occasionally anyhow, and it's not like I'm in much better shape near DEEtroit and all the union sheeple.

Bingo.

Forbes didn't figure the unseen 10 million extra customers who spend $50 per year because they admire the company's business model.

There is also the hidden benefits to that come with a company that adheres to traditional values - friendly, polite employees who are off every Sunday, cleanliness, great customer service and knowing that your money isn't going to support American hating, anti-God leftist causes.

Chick-fil-A seems to be doing rather well, despite any Forbes propeller-head math.

Not enough of a fall to matter, unfortunately.

Thing about solar and wind is both have their limitations, but when ussd together can be effective. I don’t think solar is justified yet, financially, but I confess my main motivation is not money. It’s the best way to have power “at all” if we end up with a real SHTF event. Also, if we end up with hyperinflation it could suddenly become very cost effective - if you already have it.

Amen. This gentleman KNOWS where his riches are and they are not of this earth. His riches in reward will be in Heaven at the Bema Seat before Jesus Christ. Amen to that.
