WHY LIBERALS HATE CHICK-FIL-A
Powerline ^ | May 25,2019 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 05/26/2019 5:59:34 AM PDT by Hojczyk

We ate lunch at a Chick-fil-A today. When we entered the restaurant, the first thing we saw was an empty table that was set up to honor fallen military personnel over the Memorial Day weekend. There was a red rose, a folded flag, an inverted glass and an open Bible, along with text explaining the elements of the display. Click to enlarge:

Chick-fil-A is unabashedly pro-American. I suspect that is the real reason for the animus that so many liberals bear against the company. There was a time when liberals were generally patriotic. George McGovern is a good example: he was wrong on just about every issue, but he was a veteran who loved his country. That is no longer true.

Now, while no doubt there are honorable exceptions, liberals are usually anti-American. They have been taught a twisted, Zinnified version of American history, and they have internalized a Chomskyite view of the world in which all evils are traceable to American misdeeds. Liberals tend to be angry, unhappy people, and it is convenient for them to blame their problems on their country’s supposed failings. Organizations like Chick-fil-A that are pro-America, pro-religion (Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sunday), and culturally upbeat are anathema.

One of my daughters lives in Texas. Coincidentally, she ate lunch at a Chick-fil-A today, too. (She loves Chick-fil-A, so it isn’t that much of a coincidence.) She wrote this on our family text chat:

The very high functioning Down syndrome boy who took our order jogged next to the car as we pulled forward, running our card at the same time and then wished us a blessed day. And then a very obviously gay kid handed us our food. Take that haters.

Love the concept of Chic fil a. Bless their patriotism.

Unfortunately I can’t consume certain chemicals like the MSG therefore I don’t go there. KFC uses the same stuff. Shame really. Love fried chicken.

Beyond doubt. Those who call themselves liberals hate America and all it stands for. They just want all the benefits of being American without any of its obligations.

I’m so sorry. I can fully empathize. I can’t tolerate aspartame. It’s in darned near everything, except Chick-fil-A’s diet lemonade.

Liberal childishly brainwash themselves and rally around symbols like CFA. Fact is, they LOVE CFA. They just won’t go there if a conservative notices.

Top 3 fast food chains
1. McDonald’s
2. Starbucks (yes Starbucks)
3. Chik Fil a (it was 8th last year)

Business Insider, 2017:
>>The chicken chain is set to become the third-largest restaurant by sales in 2018, up from the No. 7 spot in 2017, according to Kalinowski Equity Research.
People have been predicting that Chick-fil-A could snag the No. 3 spot — behind reigning champ McDonald’s and Starbucks — for quite some time. However, initial predictions anticipated Chick-fil-A would take the spot in 2020. In April, analyst Mark Kalinowski updated his forecast, saying Chick-fil-A could take the No. 3 spot by 2019.


I heard recently it is indeed #3 now.

It’s harder to rise to #3 when cities and colleges are restricting your access to the marketplace for political reasons.

I know they put MSG on fried chicken. I assume they use it on their grilled too. I like fried chicken better anyway. Just not with MSG.

I lived 50 years without having MSG problems. The last 20 years no dice.

I do too.

I’m supposed to eat grilled chicken, but I like fried chicken.

My ability to digest certain things has also changed quite a bit in recent years, but it seems like MSG is still okay for me.

LIBs are self-loathing but project that outward. At some level they realize they are worthless and their ideas are lunacy, however, they are not strong enough to accept that and change into a normal human. Such transformation is possible...but not likely. Sucks to be them.

When I bought a Thai restaurant one of the first things I did was take a 50 lb bag of MSG out to the dumpster.

Second, I told the cooks that we don't use MSG ever.
