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.

This capitulation will make no difference. The attacks will continue on Chick-Fil-A. The left will only be appeased when the owners sell the business and disappear.
Cutting off contributions to noble enterprises like the Salvation Army only hurts the charity (much hated by the Dems and left in general) and emboldens the communists to increase the ferocity of their winning tactics.
