I think it’s mindboggling. The original Mr. Cathy, the founder was hardly more than buried before the son shows his utter lack of wisdom or commitment, by turning the company over to some immoral zealot, who does a 180 with the company Mission Statement, and brags about it all over the media. Sounds like Samuel’s worthless sons, Hofni & Phineas.
Since the original controversy concerning Chick-fil-A a couple of years ago, and the uproar from the left, the wife and I have talked about trying CFA the next time we are in a city with a franchise. The nearest one for us is a 2.5 hour drive so we planned on a meal when next in the city...providing we weren’t there on a Sunday.
No more plans...phooey on them. How stupid to alienate those who support them...do they think this announcement about their contributions will result in crowds of lgbtqrh? types to suddenly start patronizing their stores??
Amazes me how dumb some of these corporations are and how easily they can be manipulated.
I hate it, but I’m done with Chick-fil-A.
Traitors.
Or is he saying it doesn't matter?
Ping! A well-stated article. Wish i could express myself half as well. And it’s nice to see Huckabee out in front of this.
“Pushing that under the rug may feel better in the short-term, but it’s not an option for anyone who understands the long-term implications of waving a white flag on God’s truth. For us, this isn’t a gray area. The decision to desert these groups is a radical departure from biblical teaching. Now, some of you might argue that walking away from the Salvation Army or Fellowship of Christian Athletes isn’t an endorsement of an LGBT agenda. But it is exactly that. And here’s why. Chick-fil-A didn’t just switch their giving practices, they broadcasted it. They made a conscious choice to draw attention to this very public divorce from two Bible-believing charities. And then, in a calculated move, announced their support was going to an organization that, on its website, openly and proudly supports everything about the LGBT community.
“Their defense is that they haven’t changed anything,” Governor Mike Huckabee told listeners on Tuesday’s “Washington Watch,” but, “I’m just going to be blunt,” he said. “That’s not honest. Because when you turn from Salvation Army and you go to organizations like Covenant House, you’ve made a big statement about who you want your friends to be, who you are willing to affiliate with, and what your priorities are.” This isn’t about loving and serving the people who identify as LGBT, which the Salvation Army has done — and we’re all called to do. This is about affirming the LGBT identity and the politics that go with it. Those are two very different things. As Christians, we’re called to love — not affirm. God didn’t celebrate our sin, He loved us enough to save us from it. And that’s the difference here.”
I never once ate at CFA to make a political statement to myself.
New Coke: “I was the biggest blunder a food company could make.”
CFA: “Hold muh Co-Cola ‘n watch this..”
I don’t buy at Target, Dicks and now CFl.....
Strongly disagree. You don't become the 3rd largest food chain by closing on Sunday's or instructing team members to say "my pleasure".
