Allen West weighed in on the national controversy over Chick-Fil-A and the fact that many on the left, including Rahm Emanuel are speaking out against the private company. Some are calling for bans on the restaurants due to recent views expressed by the company's president, who opposes gay marriage. City mayors, Hollywood stars, and even the ACLU have weighed in on the issue. West, in true form did not hold back an opinion. "I love some Chick-Fil-A. When I finish here I'm going to Chick-Fil-A," said West, but followed up with more sobering remarks:

Congressman West is so dead on when he speaks about an issue. He knows how to get right to the heart of the matter. He doesn't miss a beat when he calls out Rahm Emanuel!

If Romney wants a slam dunk victory this November he should choose wisely when it comes to his VP:

Updated at 5 p.m. ET: 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.

I’m not sure that West would accept the offer. :)

I think this bullying of Chick-fil-A has really touched a nerve in middle America, sick of the liberals forcing their cultural corruption on everyone.

Call it “The Chick-fil-A Counterrevolution”. When I went there today at 2:30, normally a slack time, the CFA I went to was full. All the tables had more than one person sitting at them. There were several families with young children. No protesters.

I asked one of the girls working the register if they were ready for August 1st, and she said that for a week, now, they had been busy from open to close. But they were expecting a flood of people.

I strongly suspect that August 1st is going to be overwhelming. It is an easy way for middle America to voice its displeasure, and should serve as fair warning to those trying to force their agendas on our country.

The pressure has really built up, and the first indicator is going to be chicken sandwiches.

The secret ingredient in their sandwiches is liberal outrage. Tastes delicious!

In 1776 it was tea.

amid a marketing crisis.

What marketing crises? These guys are American marketing hero's. They've never had so much free publicity and business. The country is 98% heterosexual, so what's the big deal? Homosexuals are only 2% (and that's only if you count those in prison who don't have a choice). They just make so much noise, people think they're more than 2%, but they're not.

Just say "no" to the homosexuals, and support the restaurant with your business. Join the party. Have a tasty chicken sandwich.

I’ll never understand how the pink mafia gets such huge amounts of people willing to defend them.

That’s because they are all over TV. My wife loves to watch those cooking shows and last night they had four “pink” chefs on one show, two of them were a “couple.”
