PHOTOS: Chick-Fil-As Across The Country Are Absolutely Jam-Packed

By all early accounts, Gov. Mike Huckabee's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" seems like a wild success.

Conservatives are lining up in droves. Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is offering his support and urging supporters to visit a restaurant. One Wendy's franchise owner expressed his support for Chick-fil-A at a North Carolina Wendy's.

Chick-fil-A originally incurred a backlash when COO Dan Cathy affirmed in an interview that the company did not support gay marriage.

"We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit," Cathy said.

Some mayors around the country — including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino — have publicly supported the boycott of Chick-fil-A.

According to its Facebook event page, more than 630,000 people planned to go to Chick-fil-A today.

Many of them took to Twitter and Instagram to document the craziness. As of this writing, there were almost 60,000 Instagram photos tagged with #chickfila.

We staged a rally this morning at the Northridge CA "Chick-fil-A" (in Los Angeles) My sign below. I point out that Free Speech is a right -- and the Right to boycott, shop elsewhere is your economic freedom as well. Many news media outlets were there. They interviewed us. We emphasized free speech, Chicago's move to perhaps pull licenses from Chick-fil-A restaurants - that move was Anti-free speech and Anti-free private enterprise. Our Rights include the right to have 'annoying' opinions and to be 'annoying' business owners, as long as these activities are voluntary and peaceful. Shop there, don't shop there - it's your choice. It's called the 13th Amendment: you are FREE to start your own individual business, express your views, lose money if people don't like it. FREE enterprise. All in all it was a fruitful event, I think the media "got it" (the philosophy behind our rights to free speech, economic freedom & free enterprise).

We just finished two burgers and two strawberry shakes. The place was jammed and I got the food to go. Walmart didn’t know it but they loaned their parking lot to tons of us while we walked to the nearby Chick.

What is best in life?

Crunch your waffle fries.
Eat the chicken sandwich before you.
Hear the lamentations of the homosexuals.

Thanks to all the mindless, tolitarian, idjits that just enabled CFA to earn their 45th STRAIGHT YEAR OF GROWTH.

Idjits.

Tomorrow, MSM will be running this headline:

Unruly mobs invade local restaurants, demand food.

“..though now I read that’s the day to gay mafia has decided to descend..”

Another great day to go then! I just saw Huckabee’s interview, and when he mentioned to go on Weds., Aug 1st, Mr. Cathy said something like “or any of the other 6 days - you’ll be welcome”.

We had massive lines but whoever the manger is at the Egg Harbor Township,Atlantic County,NJ Chick-Fil-A deserves a major raise.

They had people set up outside, booking tables for those who wanted to eat inside. They announced that those who were getting take outs could come in and line up at a seperate line. I was literally out of the place within 5 minutes.
