Chicken Fried Hate

The company [Chick-fil-A] invests in Christian growth and ministry through its WinShape Foundation (WinShape.com).  The name comes from the idea of shaping people to be winners[.] ... As has been well documented, the left is hating on Chick-fil-A...again.  No one should be surprised by this, least of all Chick-fil-A.  Back in 2012, Chick-fil-A became a prime target of the left when its then-president and chief operating officer, Dan Cathy – son of founder Truett Cathy and now the chairman and CEO of Chick-fil-A – gave a benign interview to Baptist Press (the Cathys are longtime members of New Hope Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Ga.).

The following exchange between Mr. Cathy and Baptist Press is what first drew the ire of the left.

The company [Chick-fil-A] invests in Christian growth and ministry through its WinShape Foundation (WinShape.com). The name comes from the idea of shaping people to be winners[.] ...

"That morphed into a marriage program in conjunction with national marriage ministries," Cathy added.

Some have opposed the company's support of the traditional family. "Well, guilty as charged," said Cathy when asked about the company's position.

"We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.

"We operate as a family business... our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized.

"We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

A continuation of the war on whites,but especially the war on normal people, by the rabid left.

Every time I read about SJW’s getting their pussyhats in a wad about Chick-fil-A, it just reminds me how good it is. So, taking my kids to our local Chick-fil-A for lunch today!

Chick-fil-A’s are always super crowded around here. All types of people too.

People like their product and the whiners are ignored.

The left hates any group that professes Christianity. They are Satan’s agents of the modern age. They will lose.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved

The Evil will always hate anything that is good decent, moral and upright- the hate in their souls can’t help but come bursting through when confronted by morality, because morality is the mirror which exposes their ugly nature and makes them angry that they are so exposed

Unfortunately, they may win many battles before they lose the war.

And in Boston, where Chick-fil-A is considering opening a location, Mayor Thomas Menino, also a Democrat, made it clear the chain would not be welcome. "I don't want an individual who will continue to advocate against people's rights. That's who I am and that's what Boston's all about," he said.

And yet, Thomas Menino won't hesitate to advocate against my 2nd Amendment rights. I guess the unwritten "gay rights" have more importance to Mr. Menino than the Enumerated rights in the Constitution.
