Chick-fil-A makes a great chicken sandwich, and I used to like getting onewith a cup of their amazing lemonadewhenever I was in the South. In fact, before I knew more about Chick-fil-A, I used to joke about helping to open one in New York.
Then I found out the company, according to the LGBT group Equality Matters, has donated millions of dollars to groups that oppose gay rights, and Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, told a Baptist newspaper that he supported the "biblical" definition of family. Thats why former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas has asked that folks who share the company's principles stop by a Chick-fil-A on Aug. 1 to show support for the company's conservative values.

If they want to start an economic battle, I’m up for it. It’s not that I’m anti-gay, I’m just pro-free speech and the right of a citizen to express their opinion. If one side organizes and wishes to destroy my ability to shop where I wish, then I’ll do likewise although it goes against my free market beliefs. If the boycott of Chic-Fil-A is a success, then I’d suggest supporters of traditional values publish a list of companies not supporting traditional values and we start a nationwide boycott of them. Boycotts of this nature are nothing but blackmail of the masses by organizing a minority, something which our current President excels at. If the majority fails to stand up, our rights are lost forever.
So, when Client #9 pays for his meal at Chick-fil-A, does he leave his payment in an envelope on the counter?
I’m not saying Eliot likes to walk around wearing a sandwich board that reads “EAT MOR” with a hole at crotch level on the front board. I’m just saying that the idea is entertaining.
I’m just going to eat there more often. We love our Chick-fil-A’s here!
Eliot inspires me . . . my birthday is coming up in a few days. We live several miles from the closest Chick-fila. I think I’ll request that we go and eat lunch that day at Chick-fila . . uh, I forgot my birthday is on a Sunday; so I’ll go on Monday since they’re closed on Sunday. :o)

I think Mr. Spitzer would like to personally boycott Chick-Fil-A due to their anti-prostitution stance.
My thoughts too. Probably be a record year .
Had my first ever CFA meal last nite, as matter of fact. Spicy chicken sandwich, and lemondade, based on a recommendation here.
Will be going back for another tonite, and again on Aug. 1.
Eliot Spitze disses Dan Cathy for supporting heterosexual marriage.
Ain’t that rich?
I don’t mind the libs and homos boycotting CFA. I don’t shop at Target or JC Penney anymore, and I now buy Wranglers instead of Levis. At least with no libs at CFA it should be a pleasant dining experience.

Boycott?
Heck no! Sign me up!
(got one close to work, going...)
Went there today as support for their American values. I’ll go again on the 1st, maybe even before that.
“Does he get that with a side order of hooker?”
No, it’s actually....can I get that with a side of “French Thighs”
“And I remembered that I betrayed my wedding vows, cheated on my wife and children and used women for my own lust and realized that I stand for NADA.”
I’m going to start eating there.
