CFA's big mistake was backing down.

When dealing with rabid liberals, never, ever, give them an inch. Give them nothing and take from them everything!

Boycott Boston & Chicago!

“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values.”

Obviously. Too bad for Chicago.

"CFA should take that letter and sue the snot out of Boston for violation of constitutional rights. It is illegal for the government to target people for reprisal. Maybe if Boston lost a few billion they would get rid of the jackass."

If gays can sue a Christian business because they won't make a cake or take photos for a gay wedding, then CFA should be able to sue Boston using the same logic.

I live close enough to Indiana that I do almost no spending in Chicago. I boycott it too.

I have been taking my grandson to CFA two nights a week for a couple of years now. Obviously his fav place. Ours is always busy. Have never noticed any change EVER in the way the food tastes or the excellent level of service.

Next door is a Sonic and across the street is KFC. Have never figured why they are still in business since so few people are ever there - maybe they stay open so people will have a place to eat on Sunday when CFA is closed. Never really noticed because we are busy with church and family that day.

Knowing real Americans though, I would suspect that there will be many people who have never heard of CFA before now and wonder why they don’t have one near them.

These politicians are abusing their power. When will the American public have enough of this abuse?

“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values.“

Yeah, those stupid CFA people don't have 35 murders each weekend in their stores. What is wrong with them?? Get with it, folks, "In Chicago, murder is a family value."

That said ... this seems a scary precedent. Maybe it’s not a precedent ... but allowing only government approved businesses to have permits seems very totalitarian.

To make the granting of a business license or a zoning variance be conditional on the politics of the business owner would seem to be a violation of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Imagine the uproar if a Republican mayor denied a license to a Leftist-owned business because they supported a gun-control group.

Maybe Chicago, Boston and other perverted cities can pass an ordinance making CFA place a Yellow Chicken design on their front windows!
Next the Jews, Gypsies then the Poles!

Done. Wow- some of the comments on their FB are awful. So much for liberal tolerance. MY way or no way.

I was listening to radio show today, Focus on the Family. This man has a cake business, does great work, has worked hard to establish his business, reputation, etc.

Well two gay guys came into his store wanted a cake for their wedding. He refused. So, next thing you know, all over the news, etc. The owner said, “I will close my business rather then give up my principles”.

I eat Paleo, so I don’t eat fast food, but even pre-Paleo I was never crazy about CFA’s food, but thought their customer service and order accuracy was outstanding. Of course, I really appreciate their values and the fact they give their employees the Sabbath day off.

took the fmaily there today and told the owner thank you.

As for the elft , well they are doing what the NAZI’s did to the Jewish business and it is a disgrace.

Chick fil a are defending their religion and views and agreeing with most in this country and now the homosexuals and their suport are doing NAZI tactics.

SHAME ON YOU LIBERALS.

NAZI’s boycotted then got others to boycott Jews .
NAZIs took control and used their power in the media and Govt to attack Jews.

This is what the left is doing and all because.
yes because certain poeple like to get off sexualy in a very unnatural unhealthy way.
It’s not about love, as I love my dog , kids but feel no need to marry them.

It’s all about how they want their sex and because of that they think they should marry, stupid idiots and now they act like babies pulling a tantrum.

sick and tired of the homostapo and that word is correct for tme for they act like NAZI’s then they shoulkd be called on how they act

Chicago values, hey their values are what exactly.

Corruption, muder, robbery, election fraud, etc how about intimidation.

Men acting like women, women acting like men, men wanting to insert their penis into a mans crap hole and then say we should be married.
A woman wearing a streap on trying to impersonate a man and then saying lets be married.

They’re frigging idiots and the GOP had better get out and mention this as well as talk radio.
Talk radio especially Hannity have always been cowards when it comes to conservative social issues but this is not a conservative issue it is the majority issue and if these NAZI tactics happen of which they have in parts of this country then they need to be called NAZI’s homostapo and certainly our side had better not ever shut up nor even anyone on here to our friends, family, neighbors and even on that FB imagine world

Do these public servants “allow” Muslim-owned businesses in their city/ward? The Koran is hardly gay-friendly.

said this today to my wife.

Why not boycott and protest a mosque a muslim business?

Cowards the homostapo and talk radio plus the GOP had better grow a set and take this issue on once and for all instead of being silent.

I was at chic fil a today with my family, thanked the owner and will be again a few times this week plus Aug 1st.

Most of the country disagrees with the homo agenda so all of us need to speak out and stop this agenda once and for all
