David Brown, 55, of Roanoke County, said he hardly ever eats at Chick-fil-A, but wanted to show his support for traditional marriage. "I'm actually for civil unions. I just think some customs have to be respected if you respect diversity," he said.

Even folks who support civil unions have had enough.

There there's the former Mayor and State Senator, who is handing out flags to patrons.

I bet we see a lot of that on Friday. /s

The radicals are really hitting the internet news polls. Won’t help ‘em. Their “settled science” on gay married is like Algore’s settled science on man made globalist warming.

I’s gladly go to a Chik-Fil-A today or any day if there was one here. Went all the time when we lived in Virginia.

Cmon freepers! This poll needs serious freeping.

I'll make a point to dine at Chick-fil-A many times in the forthcoming months.

"Appreciation Day" is good, Appreciation YEAR is better.

Same thing in Wilmington, NC. Went there for lunch and the place was packed. The parking lot next door at another restaurant that was closed was filled to capacity. I never did get my lunch.

Crown America, owners of the West Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania barred reporters from speaking with people in line and even from taking notes:

I support private property rights but you don't check First Amendment at their door.

Pretty repressive, if you ask me.

Would’ve been wonderful to get people registered to vote at those Chick-Fil-A’s today!

Thanks, GopherBroke and Momtothree! Read the story, and:

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Show me an America billionaire and business that pledges the important stuff like opposing gun control, and promising to bring back good paying and taxpaying USA jobs from Asia and Mexico, and that promises to hire only Americans and I’ll pledge to support them too.

To be honest I’ve been in business and I always avoided alienating customers about my politics because it loses customers. This other stuff relatively speaking is not something I get all bent out of shape about. But I respect the opinions of those who do. Thanks for the heads-up.
