Went to our local CFA in FOley, AL and it was packed. I would guess they will serve well over 1000 folks today.

I don’t know how many stores CFA has, but if it is 1000 (my guess is more), then at least 1 million will show their support today.

It is not just a Christian thing. I’ve known many people who had no religious beliefs who could not stand Sodomites.

Yes, same here. And there have been people who supported gay rights but now have become fed up with the blatant elitism and quasi-fascism of the movement.

All these politicians should be brought up for Tortious interference with contract, and whatever other items CFA's lawyers can figure out.

As I stood in line at our local CFA today, I could not help thinking how everyone was smiling, and polite, and courteous. Had this been a bunch of Liberals, there would have been riots, looting, fighting, trash everywhere, and the cops would have been arresting people instead of directing traffic.

Posted this on another thread....
I went to the one by us at Preston and 121 in Plano, TX at lunch ant it took me 35 minutes to place my order in the drive thru... The line wrapped around the building twice! It was amazing! The McDonalds next door had no one in the drive thru line. While waiting I could see inside and it was standing room only....I was listening to Rush while waiting and he was talking about it saying he had been bombarded with emails about packed chick-fil-as. He said this is a good indicator about how fed up People are with everything that is going on, he called it the chick-fil-a revolution!!

My local, small-town GA CFA has been packed to the rafters since they opened this morning! 45 minute wait and one of the managers said that every employee on their payroll was working open to close today. The crowd was friendly and cheerful. Many comments were heard throughout the crowd about how bad Zero was going down if the turnout on Nov 6th was anywhere close to what CFA was getting today.

One of the local McD’s and the local KFC had their billboards posting “We agree with Dan Cathy” and “C-F-A Appreciation Day” on them. Amazing that even CFA’s competitors were supporting them.....

Obama was against gay marriage just a few weeks back, right? Then why wasn’t he boycotted by all these loony liberal lemmings of the licentious left? They’re just a bunch of sanctimonious windbags who want to brag about their moral superiority, just the kind of morons who repell in horror at waterboarding but yawn at partial birth abortion.

This incident will have gotten huge numbers of people to try CFA who have never eaten there before. Their revenue will thus likely be up for months to come.

You must live near Seattle. I’m in the same boat. The Boise State location is the closest one to us, 400 miles away. And don’t think I didn’t seriously consider driving all the way there! LOL.

How come the headline says "thousands" but the first sentence says 600,000? That's quite some minimalist headlining, I'd say.

Especially since I would estimate the actual number across the country to be more like a couple million or more.
