August 1 is Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day!

Post by OakRidgeStars »

In case you didn't hear, Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy dared to take a stand in defense of traditional marriage. You can probably guess how well this went over with the gay guys and hairy lebanese womens.

To show Chick-fil-A who their real customer base is, August 1 has been declared "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day". (I know, it rhymes)

Their real customer base is people who think the food tastes good. Like me.

I actually support ghey marriage, but more importantly I support the first amendment.

And tasty chicken. :yum:

Though I'm on a diet :(

They just got caught in a lie pretending to be a 16 y/o Girl on Facebook trying to defend themselves.

I like their chicken sandwiches too. I feel bad for the franchise owners that may be feeling the backlash because of comments the guy at the top said. It's one thing if you have all corporate owned stores that dip in sales because of comments you've made, it's another thing to have other people's businesses suffer because of it. I don't think the franchise owners signed up for that when partnering with CFA.

It seems that Dan Cathy was sort of forced into taking that stand. In other words, he was put on the spot, and went ahead and expressed his feelings bluntly (which is admirable). While the franchisees may not have signed up for this, it really ought not be surprising to them. Knowing what little that I do of the Cathy family, this stand seems on par.

And their chicken is tasty-yummy-goodness.

I've never eaten at a Chik-fil-A. Heard the old gentleman who founded it make a speech one time at a college function, though, and was very favorably impressed.

I will make a pilgrimage to Tennessee come next Wednesday and break bread with those folks. Least I can do. I'm not rabidly anti-gay, but I certainly ain’t pro-gay, either. @ssholes who boycott folks over something like this deserve to be thoroughly flipped off.

It's the best fast food you can get, IMO.

Ain't it just like this bunch to jump at fighting a battle with their mouths. :hysterical:

I think most had a very good idea what they were signing up for considering all the stores must be closed on Sundays. It's not like CFA hides their beliefs, case in point.

This.

Its the only "fast food" I'll eat in a pinch and let my kids eat given its relatively healthy in comparison to the others. Their chicken nuggets and the house sauce are friggin good, never had it till I got here, don't recall seeing any in NY.

The peach milkshake is great, but the banana one is really good too.

I figure the worst thing that will happen to their supremely profitable chain (they're usually packed around here) is no gay weddings will have them cater lol.

This is the way these people try to use extortion and blackmail to change society into accepting what was once considered a perversion. If they don't support us, we will try to destroy them. Typical Liberal democrap tactic. They can believe and support what they believe, but no one else can if its not to their liking. As for me I believe the old fashioned way like the Bible teaches. To each his own,I am not anyones judge. Just don't try to force Me into accepting that lifestyle. Good for chic-fil-a for having a backbone and standing up for what they believe.They have my support. :clap:

The best comment I've seen on one of my friend's FB feeds is:

"I love chickfila and im gay as hell. I think there are far more important, less self-righteous things we could be doing in the world."

Ya'll KILLING ME with this "shake talk"

(sigh) HOWEVER! If you're unable to partake of SUGAR...

Get their "Sugar Free Lemonade" with Unsweetened Iced tea... It's called a "SKINNY Palmer" when it's like this, and "Arnold Palmer" when it's regular.

I heavily support the one near Bull Run Plaza in Manassas because they hire local kids,those kids are very respectful and they refuse to hire illegal aliens. It is refreshing ordering food and not having my order wrong.
