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!
There was time when I could care less about these freaks... Until they started getting in everyone face, making demands etc...I have reached a point where I really dislike these queers...They're so easily offended and leftist...I don't even want to near them or breath the same air as these deviates.
All these queers and leftist try to convince all how tolerant they are, but it turns out they are the most intolerant of all.
To hell with these easily offended freaks.
I heard Shep say it was ‘National Intolerance Day’ but I thought I must have heard wrong. I guess I didn’t. Thanks for noticing this.

Lines out the door and Cops directing traffic......
There is hope for America.
Awesome! God bless you!
I actually got misty-eyed looking at this!
And I have heard that of my two local CFA’s, one of them ran out of everything a while ago, and the other will do same here momentarily!
Go America!
Same song Second Verse here in North Central Texas!!! Our local Chick-Fil-A had cars wrapped double time on the drive through window side to single at the back, around the front, down the parking lot and onto the adjacent street. I parked in the NEXT parking lot and walked over for inside service.
These guys are awesome! They had a full crew + extras just to keep the orders and food delivery flowing. Ordering didn’t take long, ~10m, but my wait for food was 30m. Not bad considering it was like a bunch of ants had just discovered a tootsie roll laying on the ground!
Inside was packed to the gills, standing room only. Everyone was very friendly, smiling and laughing. It was superb! When someone’s order was up the staff would call out their name and then it was like an echo throughout the room....everyone trying to locate the customer. When food bags met customer, clapping or dancing or fist pumping or ‘SCOOOOOOOOOORE!!!” Great fun!!!!
Food was hot and on point! Will be back with more friends and more family. Rock On C-F-A !!!!
I tried to “Google Maps” my local Chick-Fil-A(Omaha) and there was a BIG Blue Truck in the way on “street View”(on purpose???!!!).
This is a preview of November. The average, hard working American has been awakened, and he/she is PO’d! We want our country back!
I believe the democrats and media propaganda organs simply cannot comprehend what they are seeing. As another poster noted, they cannot now remove the gay marriage plank from their platform. It’s not a plank, it’s just another millstone around their neck.
It’s gonna be a landslide.
I really wish they had an outlet here in Toronto. I tried to show solidarity by ordering a mug and t-shirt from their website, but they want $70 to ship to Canada :-(
That should have been his last broadcast for FNC.
Me and the Mrs went to the Chic restaurant located in the student union at Kansas State University in Manhattan. Mind you, this restaurant is located in a food court where people had to deal with the hassles of parking on campus. Didn’t matter... There was a steady line of 20 to 30 people the whole time we were there!!!!
MFO
Looks like I won’t be able to participate...
They’ll be out of stuff by the time I get there.
I was planning on going by early before supper, but I’m betting they’ll be out.
They are simply the middle class that I was thinking all but disappeared. And the fact that it all happened so quietly and with such strength was just amazing. Simple, good, traditional people are just so tired of it all.”
You hit the nail on the head!!!
Had lunch at the Lancaster, PA. CFA yesterday-was swamped.
Today they had people lined up outside the doors but I did my duty yesterday like a good early voter, ehehehehehe.
Good on ya’!
Nope no relation. In fact I think the other one is a troll, at least that is what I have been told by others. Oh Shepard is definitely a flaming homo, I would bet 100 bucks on it
Oh my! I’m just smiling as I read the posts and look at the pics!
Wow - what a nice idea! Good for you!
