The Left Just Can't Leave Chick-fil-A Alone
PJ Media ^ | 12/29/2023 | Mark Tapscott

What is about Chick-fil-A that absolutely drives so many on the Left to push for its destruction via periodic spasms of boycotts (that typically fail) or imposing abusive government regulations like that proposed by New York State Assemblyman Tony Simone?

Simone is a freshman member of the Empire State's legislature, representing a district that encompasses "Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Midtown and part of the Lincoln Center area in Manhattan," according to his official website.

For whatever reason, Simone became deeply concerned about the fact that some Sunday travelers on the New York Thruway (NYTW) might not be able to get their lunch or dinner at one of the Chick-fil-As operating Monday through Saturday at six state-managed rest stops.

"It’s Sunday, Christmas Eve … thousands of New Yorkers are traveling to their families to find restaurants at rest areas across the state. The Thruways are meant to serve New York travelers first. I think it’s ridiculous that you’re able to close on Sunday, one of the busiest travel days of the week," Simone told a local New York media outlet

"You know, we get hungry when we’re traveling. We may not like our brother-in-law or sister-in-law’s cooking and wanna get a snack on Christmas Eve," the Democrat Assemblyman noted. "To find one of the restaurants closed on the Thruway is just not in the public good."

So Simone's bill commands Chick-fil-A to violate its own well-known practice of not opening its stores on Sundays so that employees are free to worship or not, as they choose, to spend time with their families, and get some well-deserved rest.

Oh come on now! You are just too reasonable! No room for that when everyone can use this issue to judge, praise or bash this one vendor on all sides! /s-on

That is what I see also, this isn’t just a business/government situation, this is all coming from the gay power cabal, it is part of an ongoing battle against this one business as an act of political/moral war.

Agree with you. The immoral godless left keeps battering anyone who espouses a religious view until they decimate them.

Sorry, not stalking...
I was stalked about a decade ago, I didn’t like it, so I don’t do it.
You are a crybaby that needs a safe place.
You should go find one.
If you were upset, you would report me without commenting.
You have just reported this and continue to comment.
You, sir, are a troll and a troublemaker.
Like I said, go away

Follow the later posts in that conversation. I know what Chick-fil-A constructed themselves. My point was that the landlord didn't gain anything from CFA's tenant improvements. If CFA didn't lease the space and do the tenant build-out, then someone else would have.

Full disclosure ... I have been negotiating commercial leases for landlords for more than 15 years now.

Tony Simone is gay. He doesn’t care about hungry motorists on the New York Thruway. He hates Christians pure and simple. He also has ties to the Hillary Clinton.

Yes someone else could have leased, but the lease was to CFA (eat mor’ chiken’) and the ‘lease’ did not specify condition of 24/7 365 days a year operation. So there is a huge disconnect here in contractual obligations as negotiated and what the pissant politician is calling for.

The target is the point of all of the political attacks on CFA….whatever peripheral issues you may have regarding CFA does not change the fact that they are being targeted by political anti Christian politicians who were elected to do exactly what they are doing. Attack Christians, attack Jews, attack conservatives, attack anyone who does not conform to their LGBTQ+, transgender-care-affirming, abortion-on-demand-up-to-birth, govt controlled education and control of your kids…AGENDA. Simple to see through this, but we can all argue about CFA not being ‘conservative enough’ as they pick us all off one by one.
Wasn’t one of the Commie tactics to isolate and then destroy opposition one by one?

The textbook example of stalking, rather than stalk and drag your grudge to this thread, just go find whatever thread that set you off on this stalking and post to me on that thread.
