Chic Fil A Anyone going tomorrow?

Big Mike · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 20:30:05

I am making sure I do!

Super Santa · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 20:40:26

I will be there. Part of the silent majority.

Disco · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 20:40:39

Yep! Not because of the particular issue that's getting all the attention, but in protest of the constant PC-driven stomping of Free Speech!

VALKYRIE LESA · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 20:45:44

Hope to make it!

lifguardct · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 20:51:06

We ARE!!!

Willow · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 20:59:05

I'll be there.

signart · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 21:03:38

I just buttoned up a float needle cleanup, seems to run great in the garage on startup now. Think I'll take a short (35 mi.) ride from Crossville to Cookeville, TN and "Eat More Chicken" and test to see if'n I cured the gurgles.

signart · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 21:10:13

Oh yeah, wife just called & said she saw a Mcdonalds sign that said, "WE SUPPORT CHIC-FILA, NOW BOYCOTT US!"

Former BMW Guy · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 21:11:55

In!

Gear Jammer · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 21:12:34

Informed the head cook she has the night off tomorrow, and dinner's on me. I haven't eaten there in months, but the liberal's

have given me a good reason to go back

Jeff K · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 21:13:35

I'm going to buy a couple of bags full for the shop! Not because of the gay marriage issue, more because I think they have just as much right to voice their opinion as Ben and Jerry do. And I don't buy any of their products.

Moonshot_1 · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 21:41:02

Actually heading to Chicago for the day tomorrow. Hoping to find one along my travels through it.

So if Chick fil a is supporting the traditional family and this is NOT Chicago values, does this mean Chicago Values is stickin it up back end of folks?

Ditto.

Haven't been to a Chic-fil-a in decades, but I think I'll go tomorrow for lunch.

Chicago Mark said this in another thread......

"On the contrary, the mayors of Boston and Chicago want to ban Chik-fil-a because the CEO's personal beliefs is that marriage should remain between one man and one woman. Both of these mayors have stated they will not allow Chik-fil-a come into or expand in these cities. But the mayor of Boston was eager to get an Islamic Mosque built in that city and gave them well over $1,000,000 of the taxpayers money to do so. The cleric at that mosque has said publically that any homosexual should be either thrown off a high building, burned alive or stoned to death. So the Boston mayor is acting like the thought police for a private citizens personal beliefs but endorsed the mosque who actively support the killing of homosexuals. Seems you can draw your own conclusions as to who truly believes in free speech and thought. All too often people say they support 'choice'. All too often what they mean is that you can have a 'choice' as long as it's the one they have."

steve 3054 · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 22:16:08

I'm goin as well!!!

PAVALKER · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 22:25:32

I have not had one in years, mainly because I think it needs some lettuce, tomato, cheese, some mayo or Franks Red Hot, and maybe some bacon strips on there.... to keep the pickle company mind you....... But I will try to have one tomorrow.

SDS · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 22:26:45

Not sure if I'll be able to make it tomorrow so I took the kids today and will go again on Thursday if I can't make it tomorrow. Hoping that they have record sales tomorrow.

mario · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 22:28:28

Me!

donaldcc · Tue 31, Jul 2012, 22:49:11

wow! lots of supporters.

I don't really care about the politics of this. no Chik-fil-A out here in CA. doesn't matter to me, i don't eat fast food cooked by teenagers.

fiddle mike · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 00:18:07

I don't even like Chik-fil-A, haven't eaten one in in probably 25 yrs. but I'll have one, today.

I'm not in complete agreement with the ownership, My god doesn't hate fags, I think gays should have the same rights at the county courthouse as straights, I'm just tired to death of them dog-piling anyone who doesn't agree with them.

flsix · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 04:42:57

Once for lunch and again for dinner. We don't usually eat out that often but this is for a good cause.

fordmano · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 04:58:29

I would but I think the drive is too far to make it by lunch time since there isn't one very close to San Jose CA. that I know of....

I stand corrected, looks like there is one just over 70 miles from me... Have to consider this, nightshift worker, sleep or show support? Hmmmm?

Probably Beauty sleep is a better choice for me, you would agree if you ever saw what I looked like!

Where did you get the idea that the owner of Chic-Fil-a hates "fags"? From what I have read he just voiced his opinion on the meaning of marriage based on his faith.

Jeff K · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 06:35:40

I am not a man of faith but I do believe that every business owner has the right to have an opinion that differs from the politically correct Left. I believe that a business owner should be able to run his business any way he chooses, and the government has no right to tell them who they MUST serve, what they are allowed to say, or how they must act. I believe that should be left up to the customer.

I work for a company that supplies McDonalds. McDonalds is constantly under fire from the left. I don't understand why the liberal left finds it necessary to force others to comply to their agenda. If you don't want to patronize a business then don't.

I haven't purchased ANY fast food in the last 8 years. But that is MY choice. Today I'm going to break that streak.

Karen · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 07:33:09

Looks like we have a lunch date!

Robert · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 08:22:12

I didn't know that the VP for Chick died in this controversy so I figured all here may not have heard either
Chick-fil-A's vice president of public relations, Don Perry, died suddenly early Friday, the company said, leaving the embattled restaurant chain without its chief spokesman amid a marketing crisis.
"Don was a member of our Chick-fil-A family for nearly 29 years," the company said in a statement. "For many of you in the media, he was the spokesperson for Chick-fil-A. He was a well-respected and well-liked media executive in the Atlanta and University of Georgia communities, and we will all miss him."WRBL, a CBS television affiliate in Columbus, Ga., reported that Perry died of a heart attack, citing franchise owner Ross Cathy, son of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy. Chick-fil-A has come under fire from some patrons, politicians and supporters of same-sex marriage over Dan Cathy's public support for traditional marriage and the "biblical definition" of families.
Protesters have demonstrated outside restaurants against what some describe as the company's "intolerance" of same-sex marriage. Chick-fil-A has a long tradition of adhering to conservative religious practices including closing on Sunday.

HEY CARL, Just make sure ya go to the right place. its not CHIC A FIL.

Haulin2 · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 11:18:24

In order to conform to his "Chicago Values", Mayor Emanuel will have to close all Muslim businesses, the Catholic Church, most protestant churches, and will have to fire most city workers. Gosh, what a pandering hypocrite. Yes, Chic-fi-a tonight.

hubcapsc · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 11:57:14

I hear they're all swamped today... The one I met Carolyn for lunch
at was sure swamped...

It was filled with people who had blood-drive t-shirts on, and Cancer
fun-run t-shirts and people's grandmothers were there... a real
hateful looking crowd!

I just ate lunch in a CFA here in Downtown Houston. It is in a foodcourt. Must have been 300 people in line, took about 40 minutes to get to the order desk. My brother in Tomball Tx where we live said the CFA there has the line out the door and down the side of the bldg and the parking lots for several business around are packed and there is a line of cars up and down hyway 2920 waiting to get in the parking lot.

I think maybe people are getting tired of the small percent of the population kicking the silent majority around.

Cattman · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 12:30:22

My wife said the line was out the door and there was a traffic jam off the state highway to get into the parking lot.

Jeff K · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 12:51:19

Just got back from CFA in Orlando. The place was beyond packed There are three lines going around the outside of the building. And traffic is backed up. The Home depot parking lot is full That was pretty much the only place to park. It's like a party atmosphere, all the people in line are happy, and helpful. They are helping bus tables and pass out drinks. it took me an hour and 15 minutes to get through the line.

Joanne is in Lakeland, FL she said Hwy 98 is jammed with cars trying to get in.

Karen · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 13:03:54

Here in the Burlington Mall, 20 min so far, looks like an hour to the food! Line just keeps growing. Gonna be real hongry when I gets my chicken!

tank_post142 · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 13:06:58

the restaurant in Pompano Beach really impressed me today, cars backed up 1/4 mile or so. a couple of nice couples out in front with their American flags an a sign that said "honk if you love Jesus" of course the second sign said " God hates Fags" but that's freedom of speech. I hope God gives them what they deserve in the end.

remember I'll box anyone who tries to stop them from expressing their opinion, right or wrong.

DIGGER · Wed 01, Aug 2012, 13:19:45

All these long lines at CFA's and in Houston Willobrook CFA there were 3 lines out the door and down the sidewalk. People were in a party mood, customers were bussing tables and passing drinks down the line. My brother's sisterinlaw was there and said with all those people the media was outside interviewing 3 protestors. I've searched most of our local channels and there is nothing about the lines at CFA........but you can bet your booty that tonight those 3 protestors are going to be on the news. Soon as I finish this letter I'm gonna call Channel 2 Houston where I look at the internet news and weather....and all their commercials....... every day and tell them if I don't see an article about all the people who came to support
CFA i'll start looking at another channel's internet news from now on.
