You might want to do a Baptist ping for this article.

My co-workers and I eat a Chik-Fil-A quite regularly. When I drive to work I indulge in their breakfast, and when we have to drive during the work day, our default lunch spot is Chick-Fil-A. In addition to having delicious food, their staff is the most pleasant, courteous, and efficient fast food clientele I have ever met.

Amen.

I have to say, I am very pessimistic about the moral future of this country. I regularly visit a popular beauty/health product website to read reviews and get recommendations. Today I took a look at its message boards. There was an ongoing discussion about the Chick Fil-A/sodomite marriage issue. Many women were taking part in the discussion, and EVERY ONE sided with the homosexuals. A few were saying how bad it was to have to look at Bible verses on the wall of the restrooms at Chick Fil-A.

Depressing.

Trying to work a stop into my schedule tomorrow — if I can get myself to walk through the West Village.

Dropped $45.00 tonight to feed the family. They were hungry.

Shopping at their online store tomorrow.

The more the queers attack, the more I will spend at ChickFilA. And I let them know that.

I made it a point to eat at Chick-Fil-A yesterday and today. The spicy chicken sandwich is so good and a great value. I think I could eat there every day and I might just do that LOL!! Kids also love the food and I know they are getting a decent meal for a good value.

That is sad about the Bible verses.

I’ve never been in one.

They deleted all the pictures and text — I’m trying to get text put back into the post by the Admin Moderator

No less a sophisticate than Esquire Mag named Chick-fil-a one of the nation's best sandwiches.

ESQUIRE You can get a chicken sandwich anywhere, which may explain your low expectations. Boneless breast. Bun. Blah. But down south, there lives an eye-opener.

A come-to-Jesus sandwich.

The Chick-fil-A. Seasoned, breaded breast served on a toasted buttered bun with dill-pickle slices. No mayo. No sauce at all. Deceptively simple, yet transcendent. The hook is the breading: spicy, with an intoxicating crunch. The meat is always juicy, never chewy. The bun is like lingerie -- there, but not, providing delicious support without obscuring the main flavor. The first bite changes everything you think you know about chicken. And about the need for condiments. --Allison Glock

Just order a deluxe w/ lettuce, tomato and slice of
cheese, with a side of waffle fries and large lemonade.
Couple containers of the special sauce and you got lunch.

“The more the queers attack...”

“Thanks for calling them what they are.”

#######

I NEVER let the destructive Left lay the terminology ground rules; a basic and consistently repeated error made by Conservatives.

“Gay” my ass. My Aunt Rose is gay, not pathologically narcicisstic homosexuals.

T.S. Eliot once said that England had been inoculated with just enough Christianity to render it immune.

The Lord is offering us an opportunity to bear witness in an age when bearing witness means true sacrifice. Grace is free, but not cheap.
