Allen added: People are standing in line 100+ deep to go inside. The lines go out and around the building. Two lines of drive through cars are around the shopping center.

Today is “National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”
After intolerant and First Amendment-hating Chicago politicians blocked Chick-fil-A from building a restaurant, former Governor Mike Huckabee announced his support for the restaurant chain and its Constitutional right of free speech. He declared today Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
Allen sent this picture from west county St. Louis.

St. Louisans also came out in huge numbers to show their support for the First Amendment.
The lot was jam-packed…
(Mike took these photos in Chesterfield, Missouri.)
The line goes around the block.
The line of cars wraps all the way around to the main boulevard, where the line still continues.
The surrounding streets and parking lots are packed.
The restaurant is full and the line goes out the door.
Normally, with this crowd volume you would expect short tempers and bedlam. That’s not the case today at Chick-fil-A. While the surrounding restaurant chains are empty, the people in this line are happily making a statement, talking to each other with smiles on their faces. They’re patriots taking a stand against a gross violation of our First Amendment right. And they are doing it in 100 degree temperatures.
Any bets if this will make the MSM tonight?
If you have more photos please send them in!

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) bought Chick-fil-A for his office staff today.
Here’s a photo from Texas.
Ruth Wendelken sent this from Texas: This is at 11:15 at the Los Colinas Texas Chick-fil-a. Notice the line is three cars wide around the building. The line of foot traffic is huge. Notice the sign of 315 cars served at that time. Now in center line. Its a great day for Freedom of speech. Take that Boston, Chicago and San Francisco!
I don’t know who the moron is, but I’m not trying to hate on anyone. As far as the primary defeats, I share in your disappointments. Much as you, when I get in the booth, what I do is between God and me.
we were on our way to Chino Hills and ended up staying on the freeway to Upland. Looks as if they were equal as far as crowd.
I drove 35 miles to the next state to have lunch at CFA. There was at least 80 people out the door in line.
All around the restaurant, in and out, not a one of Holder’s people, which I found to be strange. It doesn’t make sense unless it has to do with the geographics of the area.
Amen to that.
I suggest that everyone mail copies of their receipts to the mayors of Boston, Chicago, and DC—I plan to!

Great idea!
I plan to visit again tomorrow because tomorrow is the Kiss-in Day where LGBT people will be showing up to kiss and make out with each other in an attempt to cost CFA business.
Sorry, as long as I can walk, I don’t care if you are a man kissing a man or a woman kissing a woman, I’m going in the restaurant to support them!
Oldsmar’s Chick-fil-A was still packed at 6:30pm. The parking lot was full and the line for the drive thru was hundreds of feet long.
I saw about 6 protestors. A sign saying, “Eat less meat” (irony or ironies...) and two LEOs directing traffic in six-lane traffic.
South OKC location, I240 and Western, had traffic backed up on both E-bound and W-bound exit ramps, and a car line approximately three blocks long at 1:00 pm. Side note: it was 112 degrees this afternoon!
Are you proclaiming the Word of our Lord?
I truly believe, without all these prayers going out, my Mimi would not be as healthy as she is today.
It is truly remarkable.
I think Chick-fil-A should announce later this evening that due to the overwhelming sales across the nation today, and in deference to the hard work of their employees throughout the day, Chick-fil-A will be closed on Thursday with all employees being paid for the day.
Company would win on many fronts and the queers could make out in the empty parking lots.
ROFL
Reminds me of the USAirways “Flying Imams” poster ad!
And the best part? Chick-Fil-A will serve the homos and perverts with the same great food, good service, and reasonable prices that they served everybody today. And the liberal haters WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THAT FACT. To them, CFA is “hatechicken” simply because Dan Cathy expressed an opinion publicly that they do not approve of.

The employees were friendly, handling the pressure and the crowds well...
That happens when the people they are serving are civil and polite and appreciative. I hope employees all get a bonus for working their butts off today! A great learning experience for the young teens and older working there.
Always nice to see a picture of *home*. Thanks for sharing that!
Everyone waiting was happy, patient, good humored, and helpful. I’m so glad we went!

I mistyped, it’s actually Friday, but you sure have a good idea. I know the 2 young men standing outside in the 100+ heat taking orders from cars in the drive-up line would probably love a day off!
Even in all the heat they were polite and friendly.
“I hope employees all get a bonus for working their butts off today!”
I hope they get a bonus for working on Friday.
Thanks Red
