Good for you...and God Bless.

There is relatively little time left...the government WILL be coming after Christians within a few years. Now, they are driving us to the margins...later, there will be jail time.

It is coming.

Anybody with a video camera or cell phone camera ought to be recording the lines at Chick-fil-A and posting the videos on YouTube to document this. This should be SOP any time conservatives get together for counter-demonstrations like this.

It wouldn’t be wise for the major news outlets to either not report or minimize this story. It’s not like the stores were a just little busy today... STORES ACROSS THE COUNTRY WERE OVERWHELEMED ALL DAY BY AMERICANS STANDING UP FOR A PRIVATE BUSINESS BEING ATTACKED FOR HAVING GOOD MORAL VALUES.

Is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you polite to the enemy? If they wanted a protest then why didn't you give them one?

Thanks for the pleasant ride, conductor, which are the men's showers?

I wonder if CBS will stay away from covering an Obama defeat in November.

I'll bet CBS coordinates with the deviant gag-a-thon to film on Friday.

If-when Mitt wins, he’ll have to get Bain to buy out a lot of media so we can have some news back.

you missed the point

they would film a protest of the local Atlanta CFA but when they found out it was not a protest but rather support for CFA they flaked out

liberal media in Atlanta will flame local business

the Cox-Chambers sisters did it for years

Our local ABC news interviewed the Houston gay mayor who announced that she won’t be visiting Chick-a-Filet today - imagine that! They did show some aerial photos showing long lines at all the CFA’s and then the broadcaster said they weren’t really sure who or what was really behind all this increase in traffic.

The one thing I will have to give them credit for is that they ran more ads from Cruz than anti-Cruz ads from Dewhurst. There was another issue about a year ago that I wrote the station manager about - his response was that the local station did not make the final decision on programming. Told him they should not refer to themselves as the local news then.

” I am sure it will all be different when the gay-brigade gets their moment in the sun in the next few days.”

Yup. And I’ll be there, laughing my a** off at the sissies while I munch on a delicious chicken sandwich. Care to join me? Should make for great television.

Oh no, they didn’t!!! (seriously, I can’t believe they proved on air how stupid they are) Or were they trying to hint at some conspiracy/Koch Brothers thing??

The national corporation isn’t, but many local franchisees are. There have been reports of some Wendys putting up signs that say “Eat at Chik-Fil-A today” or similar signs of support. But it’s not a corporate-wide thing and the headquarters doesn’t support it.

“they have no idea what they have awakened.”

I’m thinking they might have an idea. :)

They got millions of regular folks to join together over a common cause like nothing we could have orchestrated if we tried.
I think probably millions because the people who attended all the C-F-A across America, their friends and family members talking about it,talk radio, and the supporters online.
It is BIG!
