MASSIVE LINES at Chick-fil-A on “National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day”
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8-1-2012 | Andrea Ryan

Posted on 08/01/2012 12:18:06 PM PDT by servo1969

Today is “National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”

After intolerant and First Amendment-hating Chicago politicians blocked Chick-fil-A from building a restaurant, former Governor Mike Huckabee announced his support for the restaurant chain and its Constitutional right of free speech. He declared today Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.

Allen sent this picture from west county St. Louis.

Allen added: People are standing in line 100+ deep to go inside. The lines go out and around the building. Two lines of drive through cars are around the shopping center.

St. Louisans also came out in huge numbers to show their support for the First Amendment.
The lot was jam-packed…
(Mike took these photos in Chesterfield, Missouri.)

The line goes around the block.

The line of cars wraps all the way around to the main boulevard, where the line still continues.


The surrounding streets and parking lots are packed.


The restaurant is full and the line goes out the door.

Normally, with this crowd volume you would expect short tempers and bedlam. That’s not the case today at Chick-fil-A. While the surrounding restaurant chains are empty, the people in this line are happily making a statement, talking to each other with smiles on their faces. They’re patriots taking a stand against a gross violation of our First Amendment right. And they are doing it in 100 degree temperatures.

Any bets if this will make the MSM tonight?

If you have more photos please send them in!

More…
Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) bought Chick-fil-A for his office staff today.

Here’s a photo from Texas.

Ruth Wendelken sent this from Texas: This is at 11:15 at the Los Colinas Texas Chick-fil-a. Notice the line is three cars wide around the building. The line of foot traffic is huge. Notice the sign of 315 cars served at that time. Now in center line. Its a great day for Freedom of speech. Take that Boston, Chicago and San Francisco!

I said that to a lady who was standing in line next to us. “If this is any indication of what November is going to be like....then there’s hope for America.”

I told her that Nancy Pelosi liked KFC.....and when we passed it at lunch....there was NOBODY there. *chuckle*

Eww, that’s so gross, I’m going to vomit. Ditto about Days, other than for some of the Olympics now (but NOT the Commie opening ceremonies).

After today, I don’t think the gay kiss in is gonna happen in most places. But if it does, they will only look like silly fascist fools and tools.

It never ceases to amuse me when people who demonstrably know nothing of the Bible try to quote it to their advantage. It’s like debating a little kid—they’re trying so darn hard, you almost feel sorry for ‘em.

Take that Boston, Chicago and San Francisco!

Add my home town of Philadelphia to that list, thanks to moron Jim Kenney.

They couldn't get as many people to show up for a protest on ending General Assistance for lazy people... which coincidentally, they tried to do today.

Dollars to doughnuts this won't get aired on the national news programs.

Unfortunately after his death they were sold to Arbys, which I understand is run by Peter Lewis-type Progressives.

We used their parking lot. They’re located next door to CFA. *evil grin*

The whole thing is just overwhelming. I just have tears in my eyes seeing these pics and reports.

What an amazing country this is. I truly believe we are made up of a MAJORITY of law abiding, peace loving, First amendment and freedom loving people. We are just simply having to CONSTANTLY tolerate a smaller minority of loudmouth FREAKS who think they can push us all around.

I guess it goes with the territory of the First Amendment . ..but it’s just AMAZING to see.

God Bless America, Chick-fil-a, and Mike Huckabee, too!!

Hi Fairfield! You are a part of history! This is awesome!

I keep thinking do they have enough help or will they run out of food? I should just enjoy it but the nervous nellie in me rises up seeing the lines, etc.
