Today is “National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”
After intolerant and First Amendment-hating Chicago politicians blocked Chick-fil-A from building a restaurant, former Governor Mike Huckabee announced his support for the restaurant chain and its Constitutional right of free speech. He declared today Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
Allen sent this picture from west county St. Louis.
Allen added: People are standing in line 100+ deep to go inside. The lines go out and around the building. Two lines of drive through cars are around the shopping center.
St. Louisans also came out in huge numbers to show their support for the First Amendment.
The lot was jam-packed…
(Mike took these photos in Chesterfield, Missouri.)
The line goes around the block.
The line of cars wraps all the way around to the main boulevard, where the line still continues.
The surrounding streets and parking lots are packed.
The restaurant is full and the line goes out the door.
Normally, with this crowd volume you would expect short tempers and bedlam. That’s not the case today at Chick-fil-A. While the surrounding restaurant chains are empty, the people in this line are happily making a statement, talking to each other with smiles on their faces. They’re patriots taking a stand against a gross violation of our First Amendment right. And they are doing it in 100 degree temperatures.
Any bets if this will make the MSM tonight?
If you have more photos please send them in!
More…
Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) bought Chick-fil-A for his office staff today.
Here’s a photo from Texas.
Ruth Wendelken sent this from Texas: This is at 11:15 at the Los Colinas Texas Chick-fil-a. Notice the line is three cars wide around the building. The line of foot traffic is huge. Notice the sign of 315 cars served at that time. Now in center line. Its a great day for Freedom of speech. Take that Boston, Chicago and San Francisco!
My wife got interviewed there by Fox News. She may be on the 6:00 or 11:00 news
Because Mitt is on the wrong side of the issue, as you know.

Would love to see the CFA financials for today, nationwide!!! Go, Chick-fil-A!!!
You needn’t worry about me. I have been at the political game for over forty years and still always have a dog or two in the fights. This includes the national, state and local levels.
Being a former truck driver.....that made me laugh!!!

Dinner crowd hasn’t even started yet. I’ll bet darned near every CFA in the country will run out of food.
WooHoo! California! That is awesome. The whole day has been awesome.
.38 specials only backfire when a lib is pointing it. Carter only beat Maddox when he out-Maddoxed Maddox on being a bigot. Carter is a bigot who hates blacks and Jews. Read history. Carter fooled everybody.
thanks for being there and recording your observations. From someone that did not make it to a CFA today. I was with you in spirit.
“Thou shalt not judge”?
Typical leftist twaddle. Without applying simple judgment, there’s no differentiating between things that are pro-survival, and those things which are contra-survival.
Whenever someone demands that you refrain from being ‘judgmental’, just know that they’re normally asking you to turn a blind eye to something that you should probably reject or condemn.
A friend of mine in Durham NC said the Chick-fil-A down there was swamped all day.
Dear MSM, Liberal, Commie Atheists,
Did you know that In-N-Out Burger has bible verses listed on their drink cups and wrappers?
For example, on the inside of the bottom ridge of the drink cups it says: John 3:16
Please target them too, because, since they already have long lines, I’d love to see the lines you could create with a boycott.
Thanks
BINGO! even though i am NOT a romney supporter.
1994....I was 24 years old at that time. Boy, have I changed since then.
I no longer live in the past, neither should you. The past is the past. Could you site a recent Mitt comment?
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!
I wish Grand Rapids had one.
I dunno. If they were automobiles, I'd have to guess the rear Main Seal was blown, or maybe the EGR valve is letting exhaust into the intake.
Must be something like that....
And it's a shame, because he looks like such a well-reared young man.
People cant wait to vote against the Left and defeat them.
They are chomping at the bit.
The more the left acts up, the more pissed Americans are becoming. Nov. 06 will be a bloodbath for the democrats. America WILL turnout then stare directly at the WhiteHouse and say "I dare ya to do anything else stupid; now GET OUT!"
I'm not liking Romney but reluctantly, I will vote for him as the outcome otherwise is to bitter to even contemplate. And if Romney's campaign has any staff lurking; the annals of history are calling. Romney can literally go down as one of the best presidents and all he has to do is follow the Constitution and neuter the federal government. This country will EXPLODE with productivity and freedom.
