Chick-fil-A is an American success story. Founded by Georgian entrepreneur Truett Cathy in 1946, the family-owned chicken-sandwich chain is one of the country's largest fast-food businesses. It employs some 50,000 workers across the country at 1,500 outlets in nearly 40 states and the District of Columbia ... The company generates more than $2 billion in revenue and serves millions of happy customers with trademark Southern hospitality.
So, what's the problem? Well, Chick-fil-A is run by devout Christians who believe in strong marriages, devoted families, and the highest standards of character for their workers. The restaurant chain's official corporate mission is to "glorify God" and "enrich the lives of everyone we touch.." The company's community-service initiatives, funded through its WinShape Foundation, support foster-care, scholarship, summer-camp, and marriage-enrichment programs. On Sunday, all Chick-fil-A stores close so workers can spend the day at worship and rest.
Over the past month, several progressive-activist blogs have waged an ugly war against Chick-fil-A. The company's alleged atrocity: One of its independent outlets in Pennsylvania donated some sandwiches and brownies to a marriage seminar run by the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which happens to oppose same-sex marriage.
In the name of tolerance, the anti-Chick-fil-A hawks sneered at the company's main product as "Jesus Chicken," derided its no-Sunday-work policy, and attacked its operators as "anti-gay." Petition drives on websites are demanding the company change and disavow their standards. Facebook users dutifully organized witch hunts against the company on college campuses. Progressive groups are gloating over Chick-fil-A's public-relations troubles. This is not because they care about winning hearts and minds over gay rights or marriage policy, but because their core objective is to marginalize political opponents and chill Christian philanthropy and activism.. The fearsome "muscle flexing" is being done by the hysterical bullies trying to drive them off of college grounds and out of their neighborhoods in the name of "human rights." Clearly the Christian business man who lives what he believes deserves our support....Thank God that some people are strong enough to stand up for what they believe even in the face of assault and ridicule from those who have no integrity....Let's all eat at Chick-fil-A. ---
Let’s all eat Chick-Fil-A! Truet Cathy founded a wonderful company who hires teenagers and pays their way to college. Not only that, it is delicious. These people are undermining American strongholds in order to weaken us for the enemy within and theenemy without! Please pass this on if you believe companies with Christian principles have a right to freely conduct business in the U.S. |

Just had some a couple of hours ago! The place was PACKED OUT so it's obvious they're doing something right. Let the God-less progressives carry on...they won't hurt the business so who cares? They obviously need constant attention and "support" which should tell you that they're wrong and they know it deep down. Go Chick-fil-A!! We got your back!!!!
It's people like Truett Cathy and how he chooses to run his business that makes America really great! There are several Chick-Fil-A restaurants in my area, and I will definitely be going there in support of Truett Cathy and his business convictions. It's time to STOP the infiltration by communists in our churches and business!!!! If you don't think that these guys are communists who are trying to Petition against Chick-Fil-A, then google 100 columns communist infiltration and see what comes up...you'll be surprised for several pages...
Let's not forget this one simple fact. It's processed parts! Parts is Parts! It's loaded with preservatives aka toxins that your body doesn't know how to process. God only knows where the parts come from certainly not free range hormone free chicken breast, legs and thighs. One can only imagine what other "things" are integrated into the "breast filet"!
Christian or otherwise humanity needs to stop feeding like pigs at the trough and start infusing ouf magnificent bodies with genuine God made crops which support thousand upon thousands of functions everyday.
Please folks, please wake up!
