I haven’t followed the chick fil a story closely, but have seen threads here where freepers said they caved in on all these lgbt etc issues. ,,
Which begs questions, if they did cave in, why are still being punished over all the gay business?
“Which begs questions, if they did cave in, why are still being punished ...”
Because even actively piling onto a group slander attack on your fellow Christians (the Salvation Army) will not make the left love you.
Why would you think that leftists believe in redemption? Apologizing is admitting guilt, therefore you deserve to be punished even more. These people have a complete orthogonal morality from normal people. You can’t appeal to their sensibilities or shame them.
Do not imagine that you will save yourself, Winston, however completely you surrender to us. No one who has once gone astray is ever spared. And even if we chose to let you live out the natural term of your life, still you would never escape from us. What happens to you here is forever. Understand that in advance. We shall crush you down to the point from which there is no coming back. Things will happen to you from which you could not recover, if you lived a thousand years. Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.That is how these left-wing New York demagogues feel about Chick-Fil-A.

First answer: You can never cave enough.
Second answer: Even if you've caved, it takes a while for the word to get around that there's been a change, and you've really switched teams. Witch-hunts are fun without consequences.
Because when you cave to the left it's not the end, just the beginning. They'll want more and more, and more, forever!
