Key paragraph is this:

If giving to Christian charities now bars you from opening a restaurant at the airport, our culture is beyond the point of no return.

I thought they said the reporting wasn’t accurate.

I went to the local Chick-fil-A last night on the way home, because my wife wanted an order of waffle fries. I never saw them so busy! The line of cars for the drive-through lanes went around the restaurant twice, so I actually saved time by going inside. If Chick-fil-A has been hurt by this week’s news, there is no sign of it here.

Of course the choice is clear when the alternative is to kill someone for a Popeye’s chicken sandwich.

In the article, it identifies that the left has been attacking Chick-fil-a for years. The problem here is not their charities, it is their efforts to lead the life they wish. If you can take the time, review Saul Alinsky’s rules and you’ll find a couple that have been used and escalated:

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

I don’t think the words “caved” is the right way to look at it. The company, even willing to go public with their beliefs and take the hits, I think has finally had enough of the headache. They have done their part to be a good organization for many years. Now I believe they are trying to just be a normal business and goive to who they want to without the blatant constant attack of them and their Constitutional beliefs. I’d get enough of it at some point, also. And since no one is putting up a major stink about these attacks for their beliefs except weak public complaining, is it worth it to have to answer these questions on an on call with the press. Is it worth it? Ask Saul. He didn’t beat them. He beat everyone that believes in the business’s right to live their lives like they want within the law. And Saul’s theories were allowed to do so and another Christian group was hammered into submission. And the people that could fight it, didn’t.

Looks like our ‘conservative’ anti-Trump toddler finally got something right. Maybe his constant Trump-bashing is starting to show up in his ratings and his (lack of) contract renewals.

A country that punishes restaurants because its founders don't
openly celebrate same-sex marriage is a country destined to
bifurcate. And that's pretty fowl.

The last sentence uses fowl as a play on words.

The LBGTQWERTY project-of-the-month is to cancel the Salvation Army.

Chick-fil-A just gave them a huge assist.

We should tell the LGBTQWERTY activists to go to Hell, and all those who help them in their destructive efforts.

This now includes Chick-fil-A. I supported them because I thought they were being unfairly targeted. Now I despise them because they are unfairly targeting others.

Stupid chicken restaurant. Now they have enemies on all sides.

Who would deny money to the Salvation Army? They have been doing more to help the disadvantaged than almost any other charity, and they have been doing it for at least 150 years.
