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.

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!

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!
“Had this been a bunch of Liberals and Democrats, the place would have been trashed, people would be fighting and cursing, riots would have broken out, and the store would have been looted. The police who were directing traffic would instead have been arresting people and setting off tear gas.”
and all that would be in SUPPORT of a pro-gay restaurant.
“And so the Appreciation Day was a massive success! YAYYYYY!”
Wait, this is just the beginning...most people have to get home from work and eat dinner!
I hope they all turn out again tomorrow to block the “things” from their kiss-in. *gross*
I'm with you on getting solid conservatives elected to local, state, and national offices, but the GOP-e screwed the pooch with this cycle's presidential nominee.
My personal honor and integrity is the one thing that no one can take from me, and I refuse to willingly throw it away by voting for an abject liberal. Won't do it. The rest of you can drag his worthless hide across the finish line if you want to.
You better believe it. It isn’t just showing up for food. It’s Americans showing their true colors for independence and free speech.Never for hate !!!
Isn’t the reason obvious?
I live in such a place and losing CFA would be devastating....I had enough living in New England for 2 years and having none there.
