Just got back from Chick-Fil-A

[Abbey Marie]

At our local mall, where I bought two meals. Lines were out the door of the restaurant. And just about everyone in the food court was eating it.

Just to sure, I asked at the register if it was normally this busy, and the kid said "No".

I plan to get dinner there, too.

:dance: :clap: :2up: :salute:

[jimnyc]

I've gotten TONS of emails about going there, and there are groups on Facebook in the hundreds of thousands supporting them. I don't think a few baseless complaints about Cathy is hurting them. :)

There is to be a same sex kiss fest at the local CFA today I think.

I wonder if any of the chicks will be hot.

My mistake, it's Friday. That'll give Jeff plenty of time to get down here and take some pics for you.

So if I go on Friday, without the S-S kissing of course, and spend some money who would I be supporting? Hmmm.

Looks like the intent of all of the protesters has backfired....again.

Chick-Fil-A is happily serving a growing number of new customers.

Look at this thread. Chick-Fil-A is getting millions of dollars worth of FREE Advertising.

Bet they are happily turning-in the NIGHT DEPOSITS to show how Effective that BOYCOTT was.

[Little-Acorn]

At least, I tried.

Today was the day the gay advocate fanatics had named for a "boycott" of Chick-Fil-A, after its owner admitted he supported traditional marriage.

There are three Chick-Fil-A's in San Diego, or that's how many that came up on Google. Two of them north of where I work, one southwest. Went to the northernmost one since it's right off a freeway.

From what I could see from my car, the place was standing room only inside. And there was a line of at least 50 people out the door and extending down the block. Parking lot was FULL, and there were at least 20 cars out the driveway and along the lane where I was.

My lunch break isn't that long, so I regretfully left.

Out of curiosity, I dropped by the less-northern one. Found the same scene - it was jammed, with a long line out the door and cars lining up on the street to turn in to the parking lot.

The gay advocate fanatics wanted to display just what people feel about the CFA owner's statement that he supports the Biblical version of marriage.

Mission accomplished, I'd say.

Looks exactly like the one I went to. And my husband went to one in downtown Philly that had lines out the door. I heard a radio caller say he couldn't even get in to three in his area as the drive thru lines were too long.

Now the question is, how will the networks handle the story? I predict they will downplay it, and do equal time on some very small gay protests to make it seem like both sides are equally turning out.

Abbey. Locally. It will probably be handled as expected. But otherwise. Don't make any bets on it. Reporting such things would be a hazard to their GAY/LESBIAN supporters who would drop them, and maybe...even threaten to BOYCOTT the stations too!

I have often found that when men don't like the way a conversation is going, they try to deflect by mentioning something sexual to throw the woman off balance. Do you not like the success of the Chick-Fil-A anti-protest, log?

As predicted, you would think from this article that it is business as usual at Chick-Fil-A today, and that both sides are equally supported:

ATLANTA (AP) - August 1, 2012 (WPVI) -- Chick-fil-A supporters are eating at the chicken chain's restaurants as the company continues to be criticized for an executive taking a public position against same-sex marriage.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, declared Wednesday "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day."

A spokeswoman for the Rev. Billy Graham says the 93-year-old evangelist ate a Chick-fil-A lunch, including a chicken sandwich and waffle fries, at his North Carolina home.

Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta-based company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." Gay rights groups and others answered with calls for boycotts.

Opponents of Cathy's stance have planned "Kiss Mor Chiks" for Friday, asking people of the same sex to show up at Chick-fil-A locations and kiss each other.

Of course I found FOX (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/01/chick-fil-appreciation-day-brings-out-supporters-more-protestors/) at the top of my search, but in the same grouping found, WaPo, (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/under-god/post/bone-to-pick-with-chick-fil-a/2012/08/01/gJQAZD2uPX_blog.html) CNN, (I bolded the cities and states):

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/01/us/chick-fil-a-appreciation/index.html


...Lines snaked around a Chick-fil-A in Dallas, CNN affiliate WFAA reported. Patrons packed a Chick-fil-A in Smyrna, Georgia. A food court with a Chick-fil-A was flooded in Laurel, Mississippi.


On Facebook, fans posted photos of themselves holding bags emblazoned with the restaurant chain's bright red logo.


Edwin Guzman told CNN's iReport (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-823367) that he wanted about 30 minutes for his lunch at a "crazy packed" Chick-fil-A in Clarksville, Tennessee.


"It's really hard to find people or leaders that stand for something good and stay firm," he said of the restaurant chain.


In Barboursville, West Virginia, Brett Walker said, "the scene at Chick-fil-A seemed like a massive silent protest."

Walker told iReport (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-823318)he chose to eat at the restaurant Wednesday "in support of free speech" and waited 40 minutes to receive his order.


A police officer directed traffic as cars jammed the area, and employees walked car to car in the drive-thru line to take orders, he said.


Roger Cates told iReport (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-823392) he had lunch at Chick-fil-A in Owensboro, Kentucky, and planned to return with his family for dinner. Political leaders who have criticized the chain, like the mayors of Boston and Chicago, are hypocritical, he said.


"I think it is ironic that the so-called forces of tolerance and inclusion are calling for the exclusion of Chick-fil-A from cities simply because of the beliefs of their chairman. ... People that disagree with me have a right to their opinion, and I have a right to mine," he said.


In Oklahoma, Tim Tibbles told iReport that many braved hot weather to show their support for the restaurant.

"It's 109 degrees here, and people have been standing outside for well over an hour. Nobody is complaining or talking about the controversy. They're showing quiet support," he said...

You can't have it both ways either you're tolerant of all views or your a hypocrite!!!!

Mr. Cathy is well known for his Christian views. Chick Fil A has been always been closed on Sundays. CFA is selective about where it places its locations. Morality is even part of their job interviews, from what I understand. So their opposition of gay marriage should have been a surprise to just about everyone.
I don't dislike Mr. Cathy or his views at all. I dislike his chain's food, which is pretty awful.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get to eat at In-N-Out Burger or Carl's Jr. on a regular basis.

What so many continue to overlook as well, is that he never outright condemned homosexuality. He simply spoke for "traditional family". Some may say it's the same, but it's not as if Cathy went out of his way to condemn or talk trash about gays or gay marriage.

[Trigg]

Now this is interresting.


Following Chick fil A's CEO Dan Cathy's support of traditional marriage, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco liberal politicians spoke out against the food chain and threatened to block Chick fil A from opening any business or further businesses in their cities.


Chicago's Moreno now wants Chick fil A to put into writing that it “won’t support any groups with a political agenda, including those with an anti-gay marriage stance” before he’ll consider allowing zoning rights to a Chick fil A restaurant in his ward.


"Chick-fil-A may have a pretty good case under the First Amendment if the city uses their religious or political beliefs as a basis for denying a business license or ability to do business in the city. That is the kind of thing that happens in fascist states," said Hans von Spakovsky, a Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow (http://www.heritage.org/about/staff/v/hans-von-spakovsky) and former Justice Department attorney to the assistant attorney general for civil rights.

I would think that no matter where you fall as far as gay marriage laws, this should concern you. Chicago and other cities are trying to use religious and political beliefs to block a business.

[Kathianne]

Mr. Cathy is well known for his Christian views. Chick Fil A has been always been closed on Sundays. CFA is selective about where it places its locations. Morality is even part of their job interviews, from what I understand. Yet they seem to have more than a few, 'out of the closet' gays working for them. Indeed, have been quoted in interviews today, admitting to be open about sexuality, employed by Chick-Fil-A and disheartened by the turnout.
So their opposition of gay marriage should have been a surprise to just about everyone.
I don't dislike Mr. Cathy or his views at all. I dislike his chain's food, which is pretty awful. and literally thousands disagree with you. Personally I had a sandwich, wasn't impressed. Thought it too expensive for what I got. Chose the nuggets by suggestion from a friend, delicious and more affordable. The ice cream rocks and is cheap.

Chick-Fil-A Sets 1-Day Sales Record Amid Flap

Chick-fil-A set a one-day sales record on Wednesday amid an ongoing controversy over a company executive's public stance against same-sex marriage, company officials said Thursday.

The Atlanta-based company confirmed in a statement that the sales record was broken Wednesday after it was declared "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister and Fox News talk-show host.

Chick-fil-A vice president Steve Robinson said the company won't release sales figures for Wednesday. Customers lined up outside restaurants and the Rev. Billy Graham, the 93-year-old evangelist, dined on a Chick-fil-A lunch on the record-setting day.

"We are very grateful and humbled by the incredible turnout of loyal Chick-fil-A customers on August 1 at Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country," Robinson in the statement.

CFA Appreciation Day – The Triumph of the OrdinaryAugust 2, 2012 By Fr. Dwight Longenecker (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/standingonmyhead/author/frdwight)

The Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day yesterday was historic. It was historic because it marks a new method of mass protest. I even hesitate to use the word ‘protest’ because it wasn’t a protest. There wasn’t any anger. There wasn’t any hate. There wasn’t any bullying. There were no unwashed crowds of unhappy people holding a sit in and causing other people stress, inconvenience and expense. There were no protest signs, no marches, no noise makers and attention grabbers. There were no revolutionary slogans, no clenched fists, no class warfare, no sullen adolescents in a stroppy mood.


The classic signs of a protest movement were absent. If they were not actually violent revolutions, the great protest movements in history have often had violent undertones. Subtle threats were made. Bullying tactics, financial and political pressure was exerted. Guns were wielded. Behind the scenes in smoke filled rooms men did deals and crossed swords to determine the future of millions. In the great revolutions hoardes of unhappy people filled the streets, rioting and on the rampage they took what they wanted, killed who they wanted and in misplaced zeal for justice overturned an established order.

Yesterday’s Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day was the sort of ‘revolt’ this country needs, but it was even better than the non violent revolutions and peaceful protests which have changed the world because it was so ordinary. It was just plain, ordinary Americans getting in their cars and doing a plain, ordinary American thing: going out for lunch to a fast food joint. It was just plain, ordinary Americans doing something plain and ordinary, but positive and joyful and good. In buying an ordinary tasty chicken sandwich at their corner fast food emporium ordinary Americans were expressing the wish to be left alone to be ordinary Americans.


There were no protest signs (except from a few glum pro-gays who said we were eating ‘hate’ sandwiches) There were no noisy, angry scenes. Folks in the drive through lines did not honk their horns or proclaim their Christianity with bullhorns. There were no statements against homosexuals or homosexuality. (Indeed, the only statement put out by Chick-Fil-A affirmed their commitment to serve and employ all people equally without notice of race, gender, age or sexual orientation.) The brilliance of the event that it used the network of a nationwide fast food chain as the foundation for a visible, peaceful, creative nationwide statement.


There was no bullying, no hateful anti-homosexual loud mouthed preachers. This grace, patience gentleness and community good humor contrasted with the ugly and spiteful comments from the ‘other side’. Nobody wished their enemies to get cancer the way ‘comedian’ Roseanne Barr proclaimed. Nobody was using back room political and financial pressure to bully the majority of Americans the way mayors of Boston, DC and Chicago were doing. For all the talk of the traditional marriage supporters being full of hate, there was not hatred apparent. It was just ordinary suburban Americans sticking up for their way of life by buying a chicken sandwich with their friends and neighbors. These were not scary people like the folks from Westboro Baptist who tote guns and hate homos. They were the folks next door.

Yesterday’s demonstration was a truly American form of revolution. Where else could it happen but the USA? Read More. (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/standingonmyhead/the-chick-fil-a-revolution)

Actually he said nothing about one man and one woman. His comments were on the traditional roll of marriage and why. Nothing negative, only positive. That caused this brouhaha, and the door open on those that want free speech, regardless of beliefs.

Obama's Gay-Marriage Switch: Why Now?
by Michael Medved
May 10, 2012 1:27 PM EDT

It’s easy to explain the philosophical basis for Barack Obama’s decision to endorse same-sex marriage But it’s tough to understand the political calculation behind his timing.

Why would the beleaguered president wait till the last seven months of his term of office, and the midst of a difficult campaign for re-election, to reverse his position on a deeply polarizing social issue which, at best, divides the public down the middle?

Some observers see the new position as a desperate attempt to bring new energy and oomph to the campaign’s lagging fundraising, and sure enough the president sent out a melodramatic money-begging message (“If you agree, you can stand up with me here”) the same day he made the big announcement.

[Voted4Reagan]

That was until he found himself running short of campaign cash. So he reversed his "stand"... and the cash register filled up quickly again.

Correct little Acorn...

but I dont think all of the lgbt community have forgiven him for his stance on DOMA and Gay Marriage.
