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.

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!
Not surprised at all.. yesterday was huge!
Brava, CatherineofAragon,brava!!!!!
This is great but you know in the end the left wing Stalinists will make Chick Fil A pay by using their good old reliable lefty buddies in suits and robes: lawyers and judges.
The militant gay lobby and their fanatic supporters in the media will make sure they pay some how for having a white Christian traditional marriage supporter as CEO.
When is the Federal investigation going to start to see if Chick Fil A has violated any civil right laws? How many lawyers right now are scouring the bushes looking for ONE customer or employee who is gay and FELT like they weren’t treated fairly by Chick Fil A!
Trust me these low life punks like to drag every thing to court because that’s how they punish people who disagree with them like Prop 8 and all the other pro traditional marriage initiatives that past by voters.
Just as a little side note, I bet if the CEO was a black or minority and spoke his opinion in support of traditional marriage the pols would have stayed seated with their mouths shut!
the key to this coming election is getting as many real deal conservatives elected locally and nationally, and yea, holding your nose to vote for Romney. At least if he is surrounded by conservatives in the house and senate he’ll stay in his lane.
Our family did our Occupy Chick-fil-A I at the CFA in Macedonia last night and waited in the drive-thru line for an hour and a half.
People were polite, happy and gracious.
I didn’t see any rapes, mueders, or people pooping on patrol cars....
Oh, wait....wrong crowd!
Thanks, exit. Ever since Obama gave his approval to sodomite marriage, it’s like the floodgates opened. I’ve had it.
Do you have any friends or family in the U.S. who would take delivery?
Why not contact CFA's corporate offices and suggest they expand into Canada?
Is that when the demoncrats are voting? ;-)
Our Chick Fil A’s were PACKED! For my second visit, for dinner, they were running out of most food. We could not get what we wanted so we got what they had.....GLAD to do it and GLAD to wait in line.
Let’s remember to go FRIDAY as well, as the homosexuals plan a KISS IN that day at CFA. Take anti-nausea drugs with you, but GO....spend money on Friday and BUY GIFT CARDS....I got a $50 gift card yesterday and will get another one on Friday.
Ain’t freedom great????
As one FReeper said a while back " hold our nose, vote for Romney and right after January, hold his feet to the FIRE big time! ....and work like crazy to get as many conservative Tea Partiers in DC!
If not, and O gets another 4 years, it's over.
IT IS pretty hard to miss the connection between recognizing God and promoting individual liberty and freedom -especially with this recent example.
I heard my CFA in south TX required cops to direct traffic most of the day. I went at 2 pm, and waited over an hour. What amazed me was folks in wheelchairs, with walking canes, Moms with infants, all waiting in over 100 degree heat. We have a lot of great people in this country.
In the (paraphrased) words of Moochelle Obama-
“I have never been more proud of my country!”
The lines at CFA are just a sneak preview of whats coming up in November.
To the lefties “stand by for heavy rolls”.
DITTO! and IF WE WILL ALLOW THIS to start the movement towards ELECTION DAY, we will need to thank indirectly, the " gay" community for lighting our fire! They will be eating crow on Election Day because THEY got the gander up of the conservative right!!!!! GO TEA PARTY!!!! Let's not back down now! EVERYONE of us who attended a CHICK fil A, needs now to fly a AMERICAN FLAG on our cars!
Really great job by everyone across the country yesterday! Let’s keep it going right to November! CFA! USA!
“I bet the losers at the Communist News Network and MSDNC are crying right now”
and Shep Smith of Fox News
“Shepard Smith just referred to today as National Intolerance Day on Fox just as they cut to break.”
“We report. Shep decides for you.”
Why does Fox News even keep Shep Smith on the air..he should have been fired a long time ago
