Rowdy Cluckers: The Chick-fil-A Rebellion
Townhall.com ^ | August 5, 2012 | Doug Giles

Posted on 08/05/2012 5:40:40 AM PDT by Kaslin

Well, the anti-Chick-fil-A thing sort of backfired, now didn’t it? Yep, the rabid gay crowd thought they were going to shut CFA down, but instead their fascist demands that Chick-fil-A’s Presidente Dan Cathy repent of his free speech actually catapulted the fast food chain into record profits. Cha-ching!

I have one word for that homo faux pas of trying to stifle a private company’s free speech, it’s: Ahahaha. Boy, you guys really read the pulse of the American people … Not.

Now, I will give the onerous gay activists this: Aside from the huge boom in ammo sales since Obama was elected, their boycott of Chick-fil-A actually spurred the first definitive economic stimulus of the Obama era. Muchas gracias.

Look, I knew this anti-free speech/chicken sandwich protest was going to go south when frickin’ Rahm Emanuel and Edwin Mah Lee got out in front of it. They represent America about as much as I represent PETA. I kept waiting for Mugatu from Zoolander to pop out and join them by slaughtering live chickens in a Foghorn Leghorn outfit while dancing to “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” in front of some Chippendale boys. But, alas! It didn’t happen. Who can I sue?

If there’s one thing I know about Americans it’s that they love Chick-fil-A and free speech. I guess that would be two things. And Americans peacefully showing up in the hundreds of thousands last Wednesday to Chick-fil-A restaurants from sea to shining sea showed anyone with a lick of sense that Americans are not quite ready to bow and kiss the ring of a special interest group that wants to mitigate other people’s rights to freedom of expression just because they don’t kowtow to theirs.

Which brings me to this query: What’s up with this BS that we’ve got to agree with someone’s view of gay sex before we can buy or sell chicken sandwiches? When did that edict get passed? We’re damn close to making Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi look like the most rosy, easygoing consommé ladler around.

And finally, how come the gay activists got their national dander up over Chick-fil-A’s exec not being down with Brad and Chad getting engaged, yet I haven’t heard them say diddly squat about their intentions to stage a national “Kiss In” at any American mosque or give the hundreds of black pastors who vehemently oppose gay marriage the same crap they’ve been giving Chick-fil-A. What’s the matter? You’re not scared to take them on, are you? You’re not chicken, are you?

I think this past August 1st is a foretaste of what’s coming this November 6th. It’s all about freedom for all, baby, and you dudes don’t get it. But Americans do. And they showed up in droves and waited in hot lines for hours to demonstrate they will not be bullied.

Received this from my former pastor’s wife inn this morning’s email, it is from her current pastor. He is a ASG pastor in Tipton, County, TN. I would not put it past them to do this. And lib colleges will go along with it. Never mind thousands of innocent people will lose a job.

I have NO WAY TO VERIFY IF MSM IS HIDING IT!

Thought you would want to know this.

Greg Love

Christians need to know about this.

This is a friend of mine. Her husband is the architect for the stand alone Chick-Fil-As. Please let others know. Mary Johnston

Please pass this along!

Hi Friends,

Most of you have probably heard about the issues going on with Chick-Fil-A and the “anti-gay” controversy. Because CFA is one of Keith’s clients, he has asked me to share some info that you may not be aware of. This whole issue started on the college campus and that is what is being affected. Keith is responsible for all non traditional stores. (college campus, hospitals, malls, airports, etc.) The media has distorted and flat out lied about what Dan Cathy said in his interview. As a result the gay community is working overtime to damage CFA. This hit the media last Wednesday and by Monday of this week 33 college campus locations have called to close their CFA stores. As of this morning the number is up to 40. Two universities will literally be closing by tomorrow.Three critical ones are Penn. State, University of Louisville, and St Louis University. Keith feels that since most people don’t know about all the college stores, the general public doesn’t see the gays as doing much damage, nor are they aware of how CHRISTIANS can help CFA. The CFA stores on the college campus locations are under fire from the LGBT community.For those of you who do facebook or know how to tweet...NOW is the time to do it! TODAY IF POSSIBLE! Tell as many people as you know to get in touch with the Mike Huckaby Show and ask him to air on his show how the colleges are being attacked and suggest that he encourage the christian students to start petitions to keep their stores open. They need to go to the presidents of their college and make their voices heard. Most students don’t even know that their CFA on campus is being affected. I am amazed at the “QUICK” organization of the gay community and their power to PRESSURE college presidents to remove the stores. You can go to the CFA website to get a list of all the college campus locations; there are about 180 stores. PLEASE HELP GET THE WORD OUT! FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, PRAY! SECOND GET ON YOUR COMPUTER AND PASS THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE WHO WILL HELP SPREAD THE WORD VIA FACEBOOK OR PHONE CALLS. IF THE GAYS CAN CLOSE CFA STORES IN ONE WEEKS TIME, CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE JUST AS ACTIVE.

If you can think of any other public voice (radio, newspaper, etc.) please ask them to get the word out to the students to petition and appeal to the college presidents to keep the CFA’s open at their school.

Thanks,

Tonia

Good points about the Moslems and protesting - they kill homosexuals in the M/E...of course their stipulation is that a man around 33 must be married by then (Which means if he’s still having sex with young boys who ride camels - then apparently that makes him 100% gay)

I hope US Citizens across this nation make every state red on that election board - and then tell the MSM to Shut the h3ll up once and for all!

Only one in my area I can reach is at the mall, and I try not to go there if possible, the walking is painful.

“I kept waiting for Mugatu from Zoolander to pop out and join them by slaughtering live chickens in a Foghorn Leghorn outfit while dancing to “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” in front of some Chippendale boys.”

It takes a special sort of mind to conjure up an image like that. Not that he was lacking in a fertile basis for inspiration, mind you - when it comes to the gay mafia and the sort of folks who sponsor the Folsom Street parades, it’s kind of tough to really go overboard on an image.

Let them leave the college campus. It will be a lesson of tolerance for those paying the least bit of attention. I live in a town with several colleges > 120,000 people and no Chik-fil-a restaurant at all.

Chick-fil-A was the target of an orchestrated attack much like the one that was perpetrated against Rush Limbaugh. Businesses are routinely and successfully targeted by progressive groups. They pay their tribute or change company policy and no one is the wiser. Targets are carefully selected. They would not attempt a massive attack on the Black Muslims or the Catholic Church because they would clearly fail. They miscalculated in their attacks on Chick-fil-A and Limbaugh.

I am starting to believe that kids are better off if they don’t go to college.

It isn’t bad enough that they put themselves in debt to the Government for thousands of dollars, now they are assaulted with liberal and morally inept professors who should be in a nut house somewhere.

Turn it around, have a politician hold back permits on a homosexual enterprise in his or her city, or the muslim community refuse to allow a homosexual business in thier area. It’s about freedom of speech and politicians using thier office and authority to pass judgement infringe on the rights of all people.

So very true. Yet they are prosecuting Christian’s quietly.

Is Hobby Lobby next? They play Gospel music in the one I use, and are closed on Sunday’s so employees can go to Church, worship, or be with family.

A University of Southern Mississippi political science professor wants CFA removed from the campus. Of course she’s a flaming lesbian.

I’m still waiting for my Chick-fil-a shirt to be delivered — my form of protest since we don’t have a CFA outlet here. I was hoping to wear it to the county Fair, but I’ll have other opportunities, I’m sure.

Here is the text of my e-mail sent to them;

I have recently learned that attempts are being made to close the Chick-Fil-A restaurants on yours and other campuses across this nation. In light of the responses on August 1st from Americans of all walks of life to stand up for the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, do you think it is wise, especially for your institution, to cause another very public controversy by acquiescing to a small group of sodomites having a temper tantrum?

If the students want to close the restaurants down, then they do not have to eat there and the laws of simple economics will resolve the issue.
