Did Chick-fil-A cave to homosexual demands and change it's policy?.....

I don't think so.

Everyone was sure in a hurry to condemn Chick-fil-A without getting the facts.  And the fact is that nothing has changed about how Chick-fil-A will run it's business.  This was a ginned up controversy, driven by pro-homosexual activists to slander the CEO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy.

I refrained from posting on this when it first hit the news because it didn't pass the smell test.  Not having enough time to dig a bit deeper, I let it go.  The link below gives a more detailed description of how this kerfuffle came to be.

But, guess what?  The damage has been done.  The so-called MSM, as well as many bloggers, both right and left, have spread the disinformation.  All anyone will remember is that Chick-fil-A "caved", which is far from the truth.   

Trust, but Verify!

Chick-fil-A: Who We Are. A Response to Recent Controversy. (emphasis mine)
 
For many months now, Chick-fil-A’s corporate giving has been mischaracterized. And while our sincere intent has been to remain out of this political and social debate, events from Chicago this week have once again resulted in questions around our giving. For that reason, we want to provide some context and clarity around who we are, what we believe and our priorities in relation to corporate giving.

A part of our corporate commitment is to be responsible stewards of all that God has entrusted to us. Because of this commitment, Chick-fil-A’s giving heritage is focused on programs that educate youth, strengthen families and enrich marriages, and support communities. We will continue to focus our giving in those areas. Our intent is not to support political or social agendas.

As we have stated, the Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 restaurants run by independent Owner/Operators. source

Rude rabid hate-filled lefty attacks Chick-fil-A employee...w/ Important Update

to prove what a big man he is.

Wow.  Just wow!

Notice how he has to make a big point of telling this poor girl that he's not gay.  Hey, jerk-off - if being a homosexual is A-okay in your book, how come you had to make sure some poor teenage girl didn't think you were a homosexual?

Message to Adam Smith:

To pick on a waitress or fast food restaurant employee is about as low and classless as you can get.  And a grown man doing that to a defenseless teenage girl is beyond belief.   How would you feel if someone did that to your daughter you POS?  You think you proved your point?  The only thing you proved was what a despicable dope you are.

And you had to do it in the drive-through lane because you're too cowardly to actually enter the restaurant and display your ignorance in front of other people and take the chance that someone like me would have clocked you.

Update:

The Chicken Came Home to Roost for Adam Smith

Bwaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

From  Investor’s Business Daily:

TUCSON, AZ–(Marketwire – Aug 2, 2012) – The following is a statement from Vante:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith’s actions against Vante and its employees.

Maybe you can get a job at Chick-fil-A you fool!

Chick Fil A In Lee’s Summit, MO “Busy All Day” And NOT EVEN OPEN YET

The Chick fil A at the Summit Fair shopping center in Lee’s Summit Mo, was very busy on Chick Fil A Appreciation Day. Dozens of tents were set up in front of the restaurant, and families camped out while waiting for the grand opening.
Amazingly enough, the restaurant’s grand opening isn’t until  tomorrow.
The following is an on site report from Mr. Nice Deb:  read the rest

It's Chick-fil-A Day...

remember to eat one for me.
 

It's also the day when women (the ones who have insurance) will begin to receive "free" contraceptives as directed by our federal government, while at the same time Medicaid will be rationing prescription drugs  - you know, the type of drugs people need because they have an illness?  Now that makes sense. /sarc

On Friday, homosexuals plan on gathering in front of Chick-fil-A restaurants and engage with each other in public displays of affection.  That's sure to endear them to the families showing up with their kids.

Message to homosexual activists:  

The majority of people do not want to watch anyone engaging in "making out" activity in public.  Capisce?

The real shock about the Chick-fil-A brouhaha...

is not about lefties acting like the vile screaming two year olds we all know them to be. 

Most of us realize it's not what you know. but who you know.  Starting a business and need a loan?  Give a shout out to the bank president who happens to be your old college roommate.  Need a bit of code variance?  Your pal from the Chamber of Commerce or the Rotary happens to be the person in charge of code enforcement for your town.  None of this is necessarily illegal as long as laws are not broken.  It's just a bit of "greasing the skids" that makes life go more smoothly.  And don't forget to send them a case of wine for Christmas.

This has always gone on, and it's treated with a wink-wink and a friendly nudge.  But it's gone on quietly.  That is, until the head of Chick-fil-A was asked a direct question about his stance on homosexuals being able to marry each other.  He declared himself a Christian who believes marriage is between a man and a woman.

The result?

Mayors of at least three major cities publicly stated that they would make life a living hell for anyone wanting to open a Chick-fil-A in their towns. 

The real shock, one that should send a chill down everyone's spine, is that these elected officials feel comfortable enough to publicly state such a thing - to publicly point out that they are willing to break the law and call down the furies on Christians who happen to hold Christian views.   

Imagine if a mayor of a city said they were going to stop Starbucks from opening up, or declared it unlawful to sell Ben and Jerry's ice cream?

Message to the ill-informed radicals on the left: 

If you support such public displays of unlawfulness by your elected officials, it may be you who is the next target.

Take the Kids to Chick-Fil-A

 The president of Chick-Fil-A said on a radio show that he was against gay "marriage." Insert lunacy here.

Headlines screaming "Anti-gay!!!" and "Homophobe!!!"

Actor Ed Helms from "The Office" and "The Hangover" tweeted yesterday that Chick-Fil-A "Lost a loyal fan" because of the company's stance.

And luminaries such as Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian - have also called for a Chick-fil-A boycott.

So go eat at Chick-Fil-A. By eating their great sandwiches and chowing down their waffle fries and feel good about yourself that you're supporting marriage. And you get the extra benefit of knowing you won't run into Lindsey Lohan or Miley Cyrus while you're there.  read the rest
