TRUETT CATHY'S LEGACY, RIP
November 18, 2019

The legacy of the late Samuel Truett Cathy (1921-2014) was buried in Atlanta today. Cathy's three children, now sole owners of the privately-held Chick-fil-A restaurant and real estate empire, were conspicuously absent as CFA President Tim Tassopoulos publicly renounced their father's legacy of faithfulness to God in the face of conventional business practices.

Loyal supporter of Chick-fil-A have expressed stunned disappointment in the company's decision to withdraw its support for pro-family organizations such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The perception of many loyal CFA supporters is that Chick-fil-A's has surrendered to the false argument that equates "pro-family" with "anti-gay," and that now-abandoned pro-family ministries will face increasing attacks with diminishing resources.

Futher disappointment was expressed in Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy's decision to wash his hands of the affair while his deputy made the official announcement to the media. Cathy siblings Trudy Cathy White and Chick-fil-A EVP Bubba Cathy also avoided comment on their company's sudden withdrawal from its longstanding leadership in Christian philanthropy.

So, they've chosen money over God.

God will not be amused. And their business will tank.

Salvation Army is also surreptitiously under attack by the state of Oregon. Time for us to increase our donations to them.

This is a huge mistake, not just for Chick-fil-A, but for every person and organization that gives to any cause opposed by the totalitarian Left. These people will not be appeased, they will be emboldened and use this victory to further intimidate both Chick-fil-A and anybody else that they care to target in the future. Feeding the alligator doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back for more. This is a lesson that is as old as time, but some people never learn it.

Poor Mods.

They have been deleting this story 4-5 times today. All day.

Or locking the thread.

Shows you how far the Left is controlling the narrative when the Salvation Army is branded an extremist hate group.

Target was early in the Ban Salvation Army movement. How queer.

Guess we won’t see backed up lines at CFA anymore. Sellouts.

In my opinion, C-f-A COO Tassopolous is advancing the agenda of the prince of this world.

Salvation Army:

Does The Salvation Army provide benefits to same-sex partners of employees?

The Salvation Army adheres to all relevant employment laws and provides for domestic partner benefits accordingly.We offer benefits to all Salvation Army employees and do so in much the same way that other companies and private organizations provide them.We extend access to benefits for family members of our employees, which may include same sex partners according to applicable law.Typically this is done through insurance vehicles that are set up for all employees within a particular Salvation Army unit.

“If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families,” Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response, said in a statement Monday.
