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.

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!

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 was on the Laura Ingraham show this morning. Called in to say that I gave our local CFA(too far from me) my CC number and authorized them to buy lunch for ten or so military men and women. CHECK.
Maybe the kids are bugging him that they want to go.
the media will keep saying that they’re not biased but down play this but then have their cameras for the kiss butt event on Friday so CFA should tell its workers that Friday is a paid day off for teir hard work today and only have the drive through open.
The workers today were great, wishing everyone a blessed day, using manners, had smiles on their faces, never got our massive order wrong /
Everyone was polite, all talkoing to each other, having laughs, all dresssed well, very good atmpohere.
Compare to the hatefilled demo’s done by the left with their swearing, hate filled language, name calling and look like a smelly layabout.
Not answering for Donna, but the truth is, Mitt's not a leader. Don't expect to see a photo of him with a Chick-fil-A bag in hand, until lots of other politicians have stuck their necks out before him.
It's just how he rolls.
Huckabee (through Chick-fil-A’s beliefs) is helping to flush out his crap. Great job Huckabee! Great job Chick-fil-A!

Maybe this proves that you certainly DO NOT have to be serving at the highest level (ie., be the President) to really effect change in a great way in this country. No president could EVER get this type of turnout for chicken samiches!!
Wish I could cite anything definitive from Mitt within, say, like the last few weeks.
Just great - now that's a memory that will live on - the help and customers will be talking about this day for a long time!
Friday and Saturday would be good days to boycott media.
No. You posted a comment from 1994. I asked you to post a recent comment.
You can’t; therefore didn’t.
Yep still without a car but seeing how high gas prices are maybe its for the best. Will ask my brother in law if he’s willing to take me, maybe this weekend
ROFL!
[ Shepard Smith just referred to today as National Intolerance Day on Fox just as they cut to break. ]
Does shep want some Whine with that Chik-in?
[ Maybe conservatives should flood the restaurants on the kiss-in day. The gays certainly won’t be there to buy anything, maybe they’ll just leave and go home.
Especially if you don’t react to them. Just smile, wish them a nice day, and tell them to “try the waffle fries, they’re delicious!” ]
Better yet, go outside and offer them some nuggets and tasy brownies...
Tell them” Now these nuggets and brownies are WORTH putting your lips around, mmmmmmmm....”
Maybe the irony would be lost on them.
Great minds, eh? ;o]
That’s a wonderful idea! I’m sure it was greatly appreciated! We don’t have one near us either, I wish I would’ve thought of doing something like that.
No president could EVER get this type of turnout for chicken samiches!!-lol- I think you're right!!
What an awesome idea! Good for you.
My daughter and I stopped in for breakfast about 9:30 at ours. There were a steady stream of customers. Watched the local news and they are reporting all local CFAs packed and traffic backed up. One arrest of a man who parked his car across the drive-thru. Idiot.
