I refer to the stuff these activists engage in as “Wyle E. Coyote Boycotts”. It always brings the exact opposite of what they “demanded”, the safe always lands on the and flattens them all over the cartoon, but they keep coming back. I told a few they should hurry on over to the Acme Bomb Co. which is having a big sale!

The one I went to yesterday afternoon was pretty darn crowded. Off hour too, it was 4PM local time.

All this hubub over a business that produces lil old chicken sandwiches. Anyone still not convinced that LIEberalism is a mental (and spiritual) disorder?

And why is it that protestors always seem to be those people who are never happy with anything, that have no real kindness or true compassion in them even when they say that is what they are aiming for? Why are they never pleased with anything or anyone? It is a truly a mystery. Are they all narcissists? ????

I believe there is a correlation with relentless quest for special “rights” and narcissism, yes.

One side expressed an opinion, the other side banned those they disagree with. It’s that simple.
I do not see any threat to Chickfla’s 45th straight year of growth from the tyrants on the left.

Video: New Chick-Fil-A song by Tim Hawkins (To the tune of "God Bless The USA")
If you lined up all the restaurants
Where I've eaten all my life
Give me five bucks, some napkins
Plastic fork, a plastic knife
Then you gave me the choice
To pick where I'd eat today
That's a real easy decision
One that's not too tough to make
I would proudly go for some waffle fries
And a jumbo size sweet tea
And I won't forget the chickens who died
Who gave their life for me
So I grab this sandwich - Take a bite
Put it back down on the tray
Yea there ain't no doubt I love this place
God Bless you Chick-Fil-A
From the city of Atlanta
To the hills of Tennessee i
Louisiana and Texas
New Jersey and DC
So people up to New York
And all over LA
Will be craving Fudge Nut Brownies
And the Diet Lemonade
And I raise a toast with my milkshake
To the mocha with caffeine
And I won't forget the chickens who fried
Who gave their life for me
So I grab this sandwich - Take a bite
Put it back down on the tray
Yea there ain't no doubt I love this place
God Bless you Chick-Fil-A

You changed the title and inserted the abbreviation for Washington State thereby confusing the reader.

I think the protesters are winning, I went To a chik-fil-a this morning and they had closed up shop, presumably due to all the protests...

"Twenty protestors" and the best placard that one of the four pictured could muster was:
"My boyfriend used to like your waffle fries"
HA HA!

All they wanted was tolerance, they said. So they got civil unions and the repeal of DADT - but now it seems if you do not support same-sex marriage 100% you are in violation of human rights and a bigot. And to give donations to National Org. for Marriage means you fund "Hate Groups".
I tend to be libertarian, but we should not cave into public pressure like this nor should we make policy based on political correctness either. Policy should not be shoved down our throats for the sake of political correctness either. I don't care what anyone does in the bedrooms, it is their business. There are procedures to change the laws through the legal process. Heck, personally, government should not be involved in marriage at all with the exception of determine who speaks for whom in an emergency medical situation and/or to determine who is responsible for whom (husband/wife responsible for each other and the kids of course). Still though, that's a pipe dream and if government is involved in marriage, I have to vote my convictions and say "no," but I have nothing against civil unions.
I'm a science fiction buff and I like the idea we have where "if you don't wiz on my tree, I won't wiz on yours." sometimes that's imperfect, like you might have battles between Star Wars and Star Trek, but I think we need to have that here and elsewhere. I support Chick-Fil-A, they should not be demonized for their ideals. I don't think anyone should be picked on, if it was the other way, I would think the same way. If you don't like a business, simple, take your money elsewhere. Go to Starbucks instead of Chick-Fil-A for all I care.
Sometimes I think there is a good side to the mooselimbs, I'd like to take these groups and the libs in general and let them experience dhimmitude for a week, then maybe, one will turn to the other and say, "maybe those Christians were not so bad at all, at least they will not lop off our heads" as they try to figure out which end the bullet comes out of an M1 Carbine as the mooselimbs close in.

I agree.. most of them tend to be angry people. IMO, they know something`s amiss and they`re frustrated. Why else would they hold those “pride” parades, if not to remind themselves about how happy they`re supposed to be.

Did not mean to confuse, I took that from the picture caption, because I wanted to stress that this was only 1 local protest involving a truck at 1 locale - the original title implied it was nation-wide, which to me seemed misleading and confusing.

It is ironic that the word “homosexual”kept many in the closet.
When the word gay was corrupted,it brought those same homosexuals out.They are absolutely one, unhappy group of people.Nope,nothing gay about them at all.
