The left-leaning news media are always Johnny-on-the-Spot to criticize Chick-fil-A because its owners happen to be pro-traditional marriage.
But when it opens its heart (and its doors) in the wake of a national tragedy, they suddenly put their blinders on.
On Sunday, following the bloody massacre at an Orlando nightclub that caters to gays, several nearby locations of the restaurant chain opened its doors to deliver sandwiches and drinks to police and EMTs at the crime scene, and to those donating blood.
In case you think Chick-fil-A was profiting from a tragedy, think again. They accepted no payment for their offerings.

I went to a Stand With Orlando rally last night. A tremendous crowd — 750 people, on such short notice -— especially for Johnson City, TN.
The MC told the crowd “Today, we’re all gay— today we’re all LGBT”: an identity of perversion, and I do not believe in that. The song chosen to warm up the crowd was “Imagine” (”Imagine there’s no country -— no possessions -— no religion —— no Heaven”): a creed of denials, and I do not believe in that, either.
I believe the Word of God will stand forever, and His Word is what I had on my sign: “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” And I got a lot of “Thanks-you’s” and huge hugs from mascara’ed boys gone silly and sloppy women gone butch. It all goes to show that, despite what divides us, it’s possible to share a degree of respect and understanding.
And you know what? I believe in that.
That took some doing all by itself.
They didn't "open" for business. They fired up their ovens and cooked a bunch of their sandwiches and then took the sandwiches and iced tea (and probably lemonade) and provided those items to the first responders and the donors at the blood bank.
“... I thought Chik-Fil-A hated gay people ...”
To not believe in a lifestyle doesn’t mean you hate the people. Christians are not haters of people. They hate the sin but love the sinners.
Speaking of mascara’ed boys, I haven’t read anything about
Shep lately. I dropped DISH, but wouldn’t watch FOX anymore anyway. Is he still there? No doubt his reporting on the Orlando attack would put Barrymore to shame.
Absolutely agree on both points.

That was tongue in cheek. Sorry no “/s” was added.

Jesus died to save us, not to condemn us.
John 3:16..........................
It’s the only fast food place I eat at anymore. The quality of their food and the quality of their people far surpass anything else.
understand - at times me too
The radical gays (feminazis with penises) are the cause of all of this. Like or dislike the gay lifestyle, most gays want to be left alone to live their lives as they see fit for them. It is the drama queens and the ones who want us to notice them that are the problem.
Gee, nothing in my local news. I wonder why.
(because the media hates Chick-fil-A for being a great Christian Company.)
f**k the media.
The leftist DEMANDS the rescinding of the opposing point of view. Nothing else matters.
Anyone with any business sense has the utmost respect for Chick-Fil-A and how they carry out their business. It’s an incredibly successful business that is a beacon for a customer service model. I’ve heard many business owners confess their envy of the organization and how they wish they could attract, train, and retain the kind of employees that Chick-Fil-A has.
Used to eat there all the time, sadly none near me anymore. Loved their spicy chicken sandwich.
Somehow I don’t think the good people at Chick-fil-A saw the first responders and the people standing in line at blood donation centers as “Enemies”
LOL. Me too. But logging off is so hard!
bkmk
He did an excellent job.
I’m sure the local mosques and Islamic schools were sending volunteers to assist. And there are a LOT of them:
