Can I have some wholesome values with that Chicken please!
Chick-fil-A appreciation day showed great support for traditional values, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. It was a bigger success than anyone could have imagined. If you went to Chick-fil-A you know that the lines were wrapped around the building and the drive through was backed up to the streets like nothing we have ever seen before. It is my understanding that Chick-fil-A broke records in service and revenues on this one day. And in Chick-fil-A's across this nation, they continued to provide great service and good food to all of their customers, while saying, "It was my pleasure to serve you,” with a smile.
Some will try to make light of this day, some will mock what took place and some will get confused about what this really was all about. This was not about the chicken, Chick-fil-A, Mr. Cathy, or profits; although for fast food it is pretty good. This was about something bigger than any one event, person, or corporation! It was a statement by the American people about morals, values, principles and beliefs! I have heard from people I know in different areas of this nation from Michigan, Texas, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Ohio and they all report the same thing...massive turn outs in support of traditional values. Reports across this nation show that this was a historic event where good people took a stand and rallied together in support of something they believe in for the good of our society. The demonstrators proved to be good people who believe in a cause, that love all people, love their families, love their communities, and love their country. There was no hatred, bigotry, discrimination or intolerance; only people standing up for what they believe, trying to make a difference and make a statement.
So let me say thank you for Chick-fil-A; thank you Mr. Cathy; and thank you everyone who came out in support of this cause...because Mr. Cathy took a stand for what he believes in and was ridiculed and attacked, good citizens across this nation took a stand and showed support for him, his corporation and for something bigger than ourselves - traditional values!
I don't know about you...but I am going to eat more chicken from now on!
Man, I feel like I'm arguing with a brick wall. Anyway, pretty soon homosexuals all over the country will be allowed to get married and it will be glorious.
Mary
I suggest you reread the First Amendment because you clearly have no idea what it says. Thanks!
"Unfortunately it is the homosexuals that appear to be against free speech which is our first amendment to the Constitution and the homosexuals are the people whom I have seen carrying signs that say "hate"." Nobody (NOBODY) has said that you, Mary, or Mr. Cathy do not have the right to say what you believe or to practice the religion of your choice. The First Amendment is protection from the government, not protection from other people in the world disagreeing with what you say and telling you so. Freedom of speech isn't relevant here, because as far as I know, the government isn't passing laws telling you, or the CEO of Chik-Fil-A, that you are not legally permitted to say what you believe in.
Nothing prevented people from going in today or the day before yesterday -- or any other day -- to show their support of Chick-fil-A. Meanwhile, all of those minimum wage workers were getting their butts kicked because of another ill-thoughtout and ridiculous "appreciation day." How many of these people who were stupid enough to stand in these ridiculously long lines (so much for "fast food") actually TIPPED that worker who was busting their hump for minimum wage all because of a stupid, politically-motivated promotion? Yeah, i didn't think any of you clueless, cheap-skates did (stand by for the pathetic excuses). Typical selfishness. But that's America today -- ignorant and selfish (esp. when politics and religion get involved). I didn't read this blog because I don't give a crap what some religious hypocrite has to say (these are the same fools screaming their "religious freedom is being taken away" but for decades allowed BOYS to be raped/sexually assaulted -- and no, there is no statute of limitations on that -- so screw off. And you can bang your bible at the same time, too!) Those who support Chick-fil-A can go anytime they want to show their support. Those who don't, won't. Welcome to Consumer 101.
Yeah, I didn't think you did.
Gay people are free to enter into a heterosexual marriage--just like heterosexuals. On the other hand, heterosexuals who want to enter into a homosexual marriage are out of luck--just like the gay people. Hope this helps...
