Agreed absolutely. The media mendaciously changed it into that from his statements on supporting traditional marriage.

Good man. He started the business that would become Chick-Fil-A when my mom was just one year old. I’ll try to stop by Chick-Fil-A today to honor his memory.

Get ready for the High Fives, fist bumps, name calling and vitriol from the leftist talking heads and news scribblers.

Before Thatcher passed, all I ever heard about were “jelly and ice cream parties”, but there weren’t too many advertised when the woman actually died. Certainly more likely that disrespect for Mr. Cathy will be paid more attention to.

Call it what you want, he will be rewarded for it.
RIP, Mr. Cathy.

Now watch it be taken over by “enlightened” managers who want to make peace with the gay community.

Now watch it be taken over by “enlightened” managers who want to make peace with the gay community.And who will hire rejects from McDonalds to sell questionable products. And, of course, who will stay open 24/7/365 without paying the minimum-wagers overtime. But none of that will matter as long as they have "gay day" or offer the chicken version of the "gay burger."

RIP Sir.
The only Chick-fil-A in Town just shut down last week for Rebuild! It’s going to be several months before reopening.

Cathy also was known for his efforts to help youth. In 1984 he created the WinShape Foundation to help "shape winners" through youth support programs and scholarships. He also created a long-term program for foster children that has foster care homes in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Brazil.What? A conservative that doesn't want to kill and eat the chilrun?
He was a good man, RIP.
