All the protestors are right. We should boycott Chick-fil-A.
When I first read that COO Dan Cathy was opposed to gay marriage, I burst into tears.
Why does the president of Chick-fil-A, one of the four icons of the American food industry along with Wendy Thomas, Colonel Sanders, and Ronald McDonald, think he has the right to have an opinion? Especially considering it is such a vile one that only about half of the American population share.
Move over, chicken sandwich — Chick-fil-A has invented a new meal. It’s the hate burger, and it comes with an extra side of hate sauce.
Never mind the fact that only one major presidential candidate has ever supported gay marriage, and that one person, President Barack Obama, only took that stance recently. This is different. The Cathy family has a billion times more influence over public policy than any politician ever will.
After all, they are such prolific lobbyists of Congress. If they start influencing our legislators, the debate will be over and all hope for marriage equality will be lost. All because you devoured that delicious 12-pack nugget meal with succulent waffle fries, a large homemade lemonade and Polynesian sauce.
Who knew someone could change the world by eating just one lunch?
Their influence is extended even more by all those hateful, conservative organizations and charities they donate to. The worst is that WinShape Foundation that provides scholarships, foster homes and counseling.
Don’t let its positive impact on the community fool you; it is all part of the plan to brainwash Americans, build an army, reinstate the Crusades and eliminate all those who do not do exactly as the Bible commands.
As hard as it may be, do not be tempted to quit your boycott of the Evil Chicken Empire, particularly by one of their minions. When a sexy Chick-fil-A cashier looks you in the eye, licks his or her lips, and says, “My pleasure,” in your ear, don’t cave in and order a limited-time peach milkshake while you still can.
Remember the cause. Remember the miniscule impact you’re potentially but probably not making.
I mean, it’s true that the thousands and thousands of people employed by Chick-fil-A who may or may not agree with Cathy’s position would be out of a job if it ceased to exist.
But that’s not a big deal. After all, the economy is doing great. They’ll be back on their feet in no time.
Personally, Chick-fil-A won’t be hard for me to boycott. I’ve been changing the world by boycotting things for years; I’ll just add them to my list of products I don’t buy.
For example, I avoid items such as “Brawny” paper towels, “Angel Soft” toilet paper, “Dixie” paper products as well as numerous other name brands. These are all made by Georgia-Pacific, which is owned by Koch Industries, which is owned by the Koch family, which sometimes donates to tea-party affiliated organizations, which sometimes protest gay marriage.
In fact, I’ve given up working just so I can spend all day everyday in Kroger making sure every product I buy with my food stamps doesn’t fund a penny to something I disagree with.
Sticking it to the man, bro!
Point being, it doesn’t matter what the debate is about, whether it be gay rights, abortion, capital punishment or the best Nicholas Cage movie. Privately owned companies have no right to form their own beliefs.
Because Chick-fil-A violated the 11th Commandment, “Thou shall have no personal opinions,” they deserve to be punished.
For now on, every day is Sunday.
And the next time I’m craving chicken during breakfast, I’ll just get mine from Zaxby’s.
Oh, wait.
I’m thinking that the one on the right has been re-touched, or she’s SERIOUSLY deformed.
Freedom of speech only exist for liberals, democrats, the insane, and homos! /s
“Birds of a feather flock together”
I'm wondering the same thing. From the site, Zaxby's was started in Georgia, also, and the franchises are now only in the southern states. But it looks like the writer is assuming his closing will be more widely understood than it apparently is.
Maybe someone knows for certain.
Oh, the food at CFA is plenty good; it’s just not cheap, nor should it be. IOW, it’s worth it. Check it out.
Yesterday, I was starving. I went to my neighborhood CFA and ordered a deluxe chicken sandwich and a grilled chicken garden salad. Too much to eat at one sitting so I had the salad for dinner. MMMMM....good.
BTW, the salads are so big that one container of dressing is not enough. I asked for two and was accommodated, happily, by the clerk at no extra charge. I think at some McDs they charge extra for additional condiments.
I’ve been eating at CFA for years, and I don’t give a whit what anyone thinks about it.
Now why isn’t THAT on Fox News? Made my day.
Liberals agree everyone is entitled to an opinion, as long as it’s one they agree with.
I got it right after I posted the snark.
I punished Chic-fil-a tonight...2 #1s, a #2, a chicken salad sandwich, and a four-pack of chicken strips. Going back for dessert tomorrow.
Take that.
Doesn’t seem to be a too serious thing to me. ;-)
Maybe they could cater at the convention?
There are none near us, or we would definitely have been eating there!
Going to lunch in one of the few in Pennsylvania. Great food.GreatCULTURE. PRAYERS UP

What are you some kind of chick fil atheist?!
“And the next time I’m craving chicken during breakfast, I’ll just get mine from Zaxby’s.
“Oh, wait.”
I think it’s as simple as “Zaxby’s doesn’t do breakfast.”
I had never been inside of a Chick-Fil-A before today. I anticipate a regularity of consumption of their products henceforth. M. Cathy’s opinions and their crackling effect are exquisite flavor enhancements.
There’s a store opening in my neck of the woods in mid-August. In the meantime, I’m going to stop at one on my route up north tomorrow to show my support.
There’s one in Fairfield. And they’re opening one in San Jose in a few weeks.
Fairfield doesn't show up on their store locator page. That's still a bit far for me. You can count on me hitting the San Jose store, though. :=)
I had my wife pick up lunch for the kids today, just for this reason. She said it was very crowded but was through the drive-through in under 5 min. I’m going to go out of my why to eat there.
I just got tired of Penney's, Target and others declaring their support for gay marriage that I appreciated somebody willing to state an opposing view.
Besides the chicken being tasty, I tried the peach milkshake and that is to die for.
Wow, was all of FR at Chic-Fil-A today? The very nice kid who handed me my nuggets said that on August 3 the gheys will descend on that location, take up all the seating and make out.
Freakin’ losers. I’ve got it on my calendar to go there for lunch, just to make the point they can throw their temper tantrums until they turn blue, but I’m not going to change what I believe, and I’m sure not going to change what I eat.
