You know, I WOULD love to see what happens if npr doesn’t receive public funding.

To think, he’s taking heat for standing up for traditional marriage WITHOUT condemning anything.

Black is white, up is down, etc.

Chick-Fil-A sales are way up, and J.C. Penney common stock has TANKED.

a marketing professor at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School who studies brand loyalty, says Cathy underestimated what might happen once his comments to a niche religious publication and a syndicated radio show spread to a wider audience.

This idiot prof is right by being wrong.

Chick-Fil-A is going to prosper like never before.

My family stopped shopping at JCP after they went gay. There’s other places we can go that don’t put deviants in their advertising.

Unless they lose business licences, leases, etc. They could be forced out of business.

Add Amazon to the fray. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

I rarely frequent fast food joints, but I am going to make an effort to eat more chicken from now on. They just got four new customers from my immediate family.

“It declined requests for an interview, but in a statement said, “Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate to the political arena.”

Because we’re raking in tons of cash and serving so many people this week, we don’t have time to talk to the press.

Why is it OK for companies to state support for a political position but not against it (rhetorical question, I know the answer)? I barely remember a peep when Starbucks supported gay marriage, didn’t even know about Target and General Mills. Oh well - thanks for the article, need to start my list from this of those places I won’t shop at anymore - Starbuck’s coffee pretty much sucks and is too expensive anyway.

We need to convince the homoperverts to protest Chick-fil-A on Sundays.

I bet they scare away ALL of their customers and force them to shut their doors.

Won't they be PROUD?

“That’s a lesson Chick-fil-A seems to be learning quickly.”

That’s some darn crazy spin as Chick-Fil-A is laughing all the way to the bank. I can’t wait to get my beach towel from them. I wish they could ship their chicken.

Defunding NPR and PBS should be one of the first things on the agenda in the next congress ... Along with defunding ObamaCare, Education, DHS, TSA, HHS, Commerce, Ag, Energy, EPA, HUD and every board and commission that has an ethnic name in it. (btw, that is just the short list off the top of my head.)
