Sarah Palin Tweets Her Support for Chick-Fil-A
The Blaze ^ | July 28, 2012 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Sarah Palin has officially shown her support for Chick-fil-A, as the fast food chain faces continuing backlash over same-sex marriage.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee on Friday posted a photo on her Twitter page of herself and husband Todd standing at a counter with the caption, “Stopped by Chick-fil-A in The Woodlands to support a great business.”

According to Politico, Palin had announced earlier in the day she planned to pay a visit to the eatery at a rally for Texas Republican Senate candidate Ted Cruz.

I’ve never even seen or eaten at a Chik-Fil-A and don’t intend to do so - ever. I don’t understand the fuss.

It's a privately held chain of restaurants, very well run, clean, nice cleancut kids working there. The CEO spoke out in favor of traditional marriage and the firestorm of gay lobby criticism began, including a boycott, attempts to have them removed from university food courts and threats by several large city mayors including Boston and Rahm Emmanuel in Chicago, to bar them from opening in their cities.

The “fuss” is countering this with a “buycott,” because people are sick of being dictated to by a tiny minority of the population. Gays are going to stage a “kiss-in” now, in their restaurants.

All because the son of the founder, a Christian, spoke in favor of traditional marriage.

That's what all the fuss is about.

I eat there at least 4 times a week. Healthy food if you get the sandwich grilled, hot looking office ladies spend their lunch break there, and free fast WiFi!!!

And Mitt Romney is still cowering in the corner afraid to open his mouth about this issue because he is the “Father of Gay Marriage” since he was the first person to implement it in MA.

Wow.

Would you mind elaborating on your reasons why you will never eat at a Chick-fil-A?

Should we assume you are a gay activist?

When I first ate there about a year ago, I felt a sense of relief and comfort. The employees were polite, cheerful and clean-cut. The food was remarkable - for fast food. It’s a darn shame voicing one’s support for traditional marriage, instead of perversion, results on this. Disagreement is not hate, you know.

I’ve never even seen..”

My mom used to remind me when I was growing up that there were a lot of things I’d never seen, some I probably never would and some things I would see and wouldn’t believe it with my own eyes if I did.

Kudos to Sarah Palin (and husband Todd) for very publicly supporting the unjustifiably embattled Chick-fil-A chain. The haters can spew all the crap they want at her but Sarah Palin still stands tall and embodies the very heart of conservatism.

Nope, just never saw one and don't intend to go anywhere near one.

Outrageous, isn’t it? Not one word from the presumptive nominee.

If someone asks him about it on camera, just watch the panicked stammering that will follow.

I don't eat fast food much, but my experience has been that the employees at Chick-fil-A are by far the most courteous and competent.

“Social issues” conservatism doesn’t interest you much then, I take it?

Nope, just never saw the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, or the glaciers in Alaska and don’t intend to go anywhere near them.

"I don’t understand the fuss."

It's a Christian business, closed on Sundays, and they even have Bible verses on the wall in the restrooms. The restaurants are exceptionally clean. The employees are several cuts above the typical fast-food worker; they're pleasant, well-spoken, and very courteous, and they act as if they actually want to be there.

And now they are being attacked from all sides because they don't support sodomites engaging in perversion and calling it marriage. Pretty easy to understand, really.

“...don’t intend to go anywhere near one.”

You’re the kind of person everyone leaves out of their plans.
