And the days not over yet.
Somewhere, a Burger King ad mans toying with the idea of having The King declare himself 100% pro-life.
@dancathy just called me. #ChickFilA has already set a world record today, with 7 more hrs to go in the West. #OutOfChicken

Not a word about todays activities has been whispered on Chick-fil-As feed even though CFA has been trending on Twitter off and on all day. As noted in the earlier post, the suspicion is that the companys lying low about whats happening in order to extricate itself from the front line of the culture war, but I wonder if todays outpouring will draw some sort of recognition tomorrow. If Dan Cathys willing to tout the numbers to Rick Warren, presumably an official acknowledgment and thank you is on the way.
Theres no shortage of local news stories out there about huge lines at the neighborhood CFA; if youre curious, these two, from Iowa and Kentucky, are fairly representative. Meanwhile, I assume some sort of Unappreciation Day is in the works on the left, if only to respond to such an impressive show of strength, but I dont know. Could be that, between this and the thuggish idiocy of Rahm and Mumbles Menino, theyre ready to cut their losses. Exit question: How big a political victory is this for Huckabee? Per this Fox News clip (via Mediaite), even he sounds surprised.
Hey that’s my Chick-Fil-A too! The manager told me at 3:00 that their sales were up 400% ... And that CFA is not particularly one of the kind that are busy ALL THE TIME like the baybrook and league city ones....
I would very much like for that fat-assed, self-serving, self-promoting huckster to retreat to the shadows.
We drove by 2 CFAs last evening, and both had lines around the building, and cars lined up around the block to get into the drive-thru.
CFA should declare a “store holiday” on Friday and cause a collective HISSSS (or would that be HITTTTTHHHHH?) to come out of the left.
Lefties - expect this much or more conservative turnout on election day. We’re fed up with you.
Great to hear about Norfolk! The College Drive restaurant in Suffolk was overflowing all day long. By 5 p.m., the employees, who’d been on their feet all day, were wearing down a bit, but hanging in there well. People were parked for blocks along Burbage Lane. It was a great sight to see!!
There’s only so much love can do.
The barbarians in control of our government want to see most of us dead, the rest in chains.
Who would you rather see dead? Us? Or them?
Exactly. And when's the last time some CEO type didn't fall all over himself apologizing after leftists ginned up some manufactured outrage over something? I honestly can't remember. For me, *that* is why I went to Chick-fil-A yesterday. Because they are unapologetic, and don't grovel before the left & the media. The specific issue hardly even matters.
I argue the science as well as the faith. Logic and reason alone explain how the parts are supposed to work...yet it’s not about logic with these folk. It’s more about prideful emotion.
All ChickFilA stores should give their employees a day off when these fags plan to have a sex in at the stores..after all the employees have been working hard and should get a day off..
I went just to show support, and to let the militant gays and their supporters know that they could stick THEIR intolerance where the sun don’t shine.
For years these people have screamed, cried, protested, begged, etc. for the right to do and say as they pleased. While what they do is nauseating to me, I don’t have the right to interfere with what 2 (or more) consenting adults do with each other in privacy. But the militants and their fellow travelers in the media have shown themselves to be a bunch of hypocritical morons by protesting/boycotting CFA on the basis of the words and beliefs of its owner - he, too, just wants to be left alone to do and say as he pleases. There is ZERO evidence of CFA ever having discriminated against anyone - customer or employee - because they were gay...and you had better believe that if they had done something like that, it’d be all over the news.
The Lefties of all flavors have way overplayed their hand, and they’re well into the realm of severely ticking off the rest of society...to which I say, “Thank you!” Finally, so much aggression in the cultural war that it has produced push-back, and that should definitely carry through to November.
Excepting the raptured believers, all will die.
Each of us will be as such a light to the world as the Spirit makes us.
I believe in self-defence, contending for the faith, and making disciples. These things can be done in love.
The Lord says more than once to love your enemies, and that vengeance is His.
Paul the apostle was once a them.
I trust in Jesus, and try to follow Him.
My life is a gift from God. Like all gifts I receive, I try to care for it.
If someone comes to try to kill me, I will try to kill them first.
And I will not do it out of love.
And in tomorrow's planned liberal protests, let's hope the tinier crowds of puerile libs behave as poorly at Chick-fil-A as they usually do in public.
Many local TV and radio stations filmed/covered/mentioned yesterday's record-breaking turnout of Chick-fil-A supporters. Without exception, those pictures showed people having fun, waiting patiently in line, treating other customers and Chick-fil-A employees with cordiality and respect.
Twitter and Associated Press photos of yesterday's long lines at Chick-fil-A

Whatever TV stations cover Chick-fil-A restaurants on Friday will see in-your-face provocateurs attempting to call attention to themselves with narcissistic displays of self-love while grossing out employees and other patrons.
Don't think the lessons -- the comparative behaviors of adult conservatives in public vs. the behaviors of psychologically stunted liberals in public -- won't reach especially the independent voters who are weighing which party's local and national candidates they'll be voting for in November.
The store on the west side of Albuquirky had a delivery truck in the parking lot. The guy was off-loading supplies the whole time I was in line. I got there at 4:15 in the afternoon. I was lucky, when I pulled out, the line was more than double what it was when I pulled in. I got my food in about 20-30 minutes.
I met people standing in line outside the door because they said the line at the FM646 CFA was too long
Rick Warren helped Obama get elected. I have NO use for him, he is NO Christian as far as I am concerned... I AM PRO LIFE BUT....should be on his tomb stone
I say he has blood on his hands.
