Chick-fil-A Knuckles Under to Degenerate Thugs
At least I can save the gas I’ve been wasting by driving several miles to the nearest Chick-fil-A:
Chick-fil-A stopped funding traditional-marriage groups in an effort to open a new Chicago restaurant, but the company initially kept quiet about the decision, prompting gay rights groups to speculate that the company feared a backlash from conservative customers.
The Christian-rooted fast food restaurant agreed to stop funding groups such as Focus on the Family that oppose same-sex marriage in a meeting with the Chicago politician who had been blocking the company’s move there. Chick-fil-A wrote a letter to Alderman Joe Moreno affirming this, according to his spokesman, Matt Bailey, but the company initially wouldn’t allow his office to release the letter to the public. Three weeks later they relented.
“There was concern from them,” said Anthony Martinez, executive director for the Civil Rights Agenda, the Illinois lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender group that negotiated with both Chick-fil-A and the alderman to stop funding for so-called anti-gay groups. “They really didn’t want to announce it, really, but, of course, the alderman needed to clarify why he was changing his stance on them opening a restaurant within his ward.”
That is, a private business was only allowed to open new restaurants after it was muscled by militant perverts via government bureaucrats into an agreement to stop donating money to Christian groups that uphold the sanctity of holy matrimony. That is the kind of country we live in now. Yet maps still call it America.
This could also help in other areas, such as Boston and San Francisco, where politicians vowed to oppose new Chick-fil-A restaurants.
The Civil Rights Agenda was also happy with the move, but said more needs to be done.
Until the last vestigial residue of liberty and decency has been scrubbed away, liberal authoritarians will always demand that more needs to be done.
This heartbreaking betrayal comes despite loyal customers rewarding Chick-fil-A’s supposed spine by giving them their best business day ever on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
On tips from Stormfax, Kate B, and John H.
How very sad…
Next question. Which degenerate groups will Chick fil A start funding?
Maybe they will change their name to Donkey-fil-A in support of diverse moonbat sexual practices.
Calling Eric Holder….calling Rahm Emmanuel…calling Don Pasquale….
“At least I can save the gas I’ve been wasting by driving several miles to the nearest Chick-fil-A.”
Agreed. I was driving nine miles each way, gas at $4.22/gal here currently. Might as well just eat at Wendy’s, to which I can walk. . . .
“. . . .happy with the move, but said more needs to be done.”
This is how it always starts; with a nose under the tent. . . .
Why couldn’t Chick-fil-A just be pro-traditional marriage definition and leave it at that? That would have been a good business move. . . .
Hey, Chick-fil-A management, if you should happen to catch this: you’ve lost a good repeat customer in me, as well as in those I influence (a not insignificant number). And others certainly see this as I do:
* * * FAIL * * *
If a mayor wanted to ban my business from his city because he disagrees with my politics, I would tell him he can have fun explaining to his constituents why they have to drive fifty miles to get to our nearest outlet.
Believe it or not, sometimes it’s better to just stand your ground. Compromise with wannabe tyrants is just incremental defeat. It is a sad day for free speech.
Profit over morality. Some Christians.
WTF I can not understand why they caved to the pressure, everyone needs to let them know how diapointing this is. Being pro family is wrong? What happened to my America?

Bee more chikkun
–The Civil Rights Agenda was also happy with the move, but said more needs to be done.–
Remember how I was always asking the regressives to tell us “what do you consider ‘going too far’?”. Looks like I FINALLY got my answer; and it was the one I was expecting.
M.WILSON is right; the ‘chicken people’ (Take that as you will) should have refused to build in Chicago, then taken out an ad in several papers noting how many people WILL NOT be employed by them, how much business WILL NOT
What happened? Anyway…
…how much business WILL NOT be added to the city and how much tax revenue WILL NOT be collected.
I am extremely disappointed.
Dear Chicken-sh#t-Fil-A –
Cowering under to the gay mafia after receiving so much support by believers in non-degenerate marriage and morality is going to prove far, far worse than just having caved in from the get go. We won’t forget your cowardice, and now, neither will you. Say hello to your new queer masters, who will be minding your business 24-7 now that you’ve given up the good fight to stand up for freedom of association, and groveled to appease them.
“Until the last vestigial residue of liberty and decency has been scrubbed away, liberal authoritarians will always demand that more needs to be done.”
Yep, like now dictating to Chicken-sh#t-Fil-A how they must squash any dissenting opinions their employees may share:
“Although we are encouraged by their internal statement, we would still like for the company to adopt an anti-discrimination policy at the corporate level,” said Rick Garcia, policy advisor for The Civil Rights Agenda. “It is one thing for a company to say they respect everyone they serve and employ, it is quite another for them to put that into their policies and demand that all employees adhere to that behavior. As we have heard from gay employees that work for Chick-fil-A, there is a culture of discrimination within the company and we would like to ensure that employees can speak out and call attention to those practices without fear of reprisal. It takes time to change the culture of any institution and steps like a corporate policy ensure that progress is made.” Quack, quack, quack QUACK!

For now, only the Boy Scouts have held their resolve. Will Hobby Lobby be another hero, or coward like Chicken-sh#t-Fil-A

Biggest corporate blunder since “New Coke.”
Actually this one is even bigger. Watch their sales shrivel like Rahm’s testicles in a Chicago blizzard.
Wow.
You people will turn on someone like a pack of rabid dogs at the drop of a hat.
They probably are still pro traditional marriage. They are just not funding any groups.
Chick-fil-A? More like Chick-en-Shit.
Fuck them. This is why I’m not hopeful now about beating Obama. Everyone…EVERYONE…seems to be cowering, afraid, looking over their shoulder. Well, there is going to be a backlash alright…one that will be hard to stomach.
Fags setting the agenda? Maybe for some, not all. You want to be a fag? Go a head, I could care less. You want to promote it, use it as a way to further an agenda than includes destroying Christians, perverting kids, unraveling the fabric of society? FUCK YOU!
They mean us harm, and we can now see that most “conservatives” are so afraid of being labeled “extreme” that they’ve developed a yellow streak a mile wide.
Chick-Fil-A saw the outpouring of support. The result? They bent over and spread their cheeks to the fag lobby while simultaneously pissing on actual conservatives.
We won’t forget.
Ever.
“Although Chick-fil-A supposedly assured a Chicago alderman that it would stop donating to antigay groups, this week it held a fundraiser for one anyway.”

A nationally syndicated talk show host from here in Des Moines says his insiders tell him “not so fast” on this story. Let’s hope it’s true…

Hey Sinister, we aren’t the ones doing the turning. Of course, you wouldn’t understand that. In the prog world, there is no right, no wrong, no moral compass, no anchor, no absolute truth.
There is only the shifting sands of what feels good now. Sort of like the White House insisting for two weeks that Cairo and Libya were due to a film and spontaneous…only now they’re not, and they never said it, and you can’t prove it, and that settles it.
So take your progressive bullshit and selective outrage and find yourself a fag to suck on while enjoying some now politically correct fried chicken. It’s just “another lifestyle choice”, so why not?
OHHHHH, is THAT the game? Dis-information? Man, if that’s true, and if we find out who is behind it (and I can’t IMAGINE who that might be), they will have hell to pay.
The left doesn’t even comprehend the rage that is just under the surface. “Righteous indignation” isn’t a concept they grasp.
They will, though.
Sinister, we supported Chick-fil-A when they held firm against the political correctness that you and your ilk worship. We have now withdrawn that support because they caved to the PC-Idiocy, preferring money over morals.
I doubt you are capable of seeing the difference.
Wilberforce,
Your link comes back “Page not found”.
Cave in to political thugs. So add Chic-Fil-A to the other ones I will not go to, such as the ones bowing to Michelle Obama’s nanny state menu. We support them and they then fold like a lawn chair.
Tchhht!
Hmm….working for me on this end still. Could be a Facebook thing, ya never know.

Really, I bet I could find posts on this site from the same people criticizing this fast food joint saying how wonderful they are. How they need to be supported and blah blah.

“The company reiterated a statement issued in July that says its tradition is “to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect â?? regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender,” NPR reports.
“We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 restaurants run by independent owner/operators,” the statement says. “Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.”
Its mission, the company says, is simple: “To serve great food, provide genuine hospitality and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.”

Sinister, they caved to political correctness. If they were “still in support of traditional marriage” then why are they pulling they monitary SUPPORT from the traditional marriage organizations? So that the closed minded bigots will let them build a resturant in their area.
If these reports turn out to be true, then the massive gains in good will this organization made in their original stand will be lost.
They turned, Sinister, not us.
The Shitcago political machine can pound sand. Does Chick-Fil-A REALLY need to get that kind of business? No matter what they do, the libtards will still harass them.
…And now a lesson in economics,
The traditional giveth and the traditional taketh away!
(and by taketh away, I mean SALE$)
Now, Danny (Cathy)….who do you think there are more of? Believers in traditional beliefs or Freakish beliefs?
I know where my money is going….do you?
Chickenshit-fil-a’s non-answer answer to recent question about their change in charitable giving:
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/FAQ#?category=1
They should have kept their old policy in place and kept making sandwiches and let the LGBTQABCXYZ lobby go pound sand. They would have maintained an extremely loyal customer base. Now, they are alienating a HUGE percentage of those that went out of their way to support them, and for what purpose? To build a restaurant or two in areas where they are not very welcome anyway? To pander to 1-2% of the population that will not set foot in their stores anyway because they want even more capitulation? Next will be some ridiculous demand for AA type hiring for gays, say 20% of employees. This has to be one of the stupidest business decisions I have ever seen. Couple this with their ridiculous response and you will see their sales go down significantly. Bet on it.
If that is true, it’s very sad. I honestly find it hard to believe.
Now the libs’ insanity and misdirected rage has turned to Hobby Lobby, for their lawsuit against the HHS mandate. But Hobby Lobby is opeening new locations in many different cities, even as the lib “boycott” rages on. Good!
Hold on for a second before tossing CFA overboard as I heard an interesting theory posited this AM.
Up til now the aldercritter has been pitching the anti gay marriage aspect but when the questions got a bit too hot he’d fall back to “zoning problems” and “traffic concerns”.
CFA now has him on paper (and other media) claiming that it was all about CFA’s owners having first amendment protected but politically incorrect opinions and with the very likely removal of Supreme Leader O’s regime come January CFA is in a very strong position to file a claim in court seeing as how once they “gave in” all the Traffic and zoning concerns went away.
I never knew you. Somebody above called them Chicken Shit Fil-A, perfect. They’ll never get another one of my hard earned dollars.
“You people will turn on someone like a pack of rabid dogs at the drop of a hat.”
Relax it’s not like we are going to band together to petition the government to use force on our behalf to get the business owner to capitulate to our point of view.
“…Chick-Fil-A saw the outpouring of support….”
And assumed that the idiots would continue, no matter what. Fuck them. Let the homosexuals, who probably eat very little fast food (seeing themselves as sooo above those who do), support them. They should start closing stores within 6 months…
.
F*cking chickens!

StanInTexas says:
” If they were “still in support of traditional marriage” then why are they pulling they monitary SUPPORT from the traditional marriage organizations?”
Why do they have to give organizations money?
You must have missed this
“our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.”
They might as well give it all up and start working Sundays…
“…Why do they have to give organizations money?”
They don’t HAVE to give anyone money, stupid. That’s the whole point here. But “our” government took that choice out of their hands, if they wanted to grow the business. That’s tyranny. They caved. That’s their disgrace, as their bottom line did not demand they cave. Fuckholes.
“You must have missed this”, but…that’s not what america used to be about. Up until the “civil rights” horse shit in the 60′s. We used to be free to do what we wanted, within the law. If homosexuals don’t want to eat there, that is their choice. That the government steps in, IN DEFENSE OF PERVERTS, and you don’t have a problem with it, makes you the same enemy Obama is.
They are not funding any groups, they have a perfect right to, because this is now a soft tyranny. You’ll cry like the pussy you are, when they come for YOU…
I’m hearing reports that this story isn’t true.
http://www.citizenlink.com/2012/09/20/chick-fil-a-sets-the-record-straight-2/
“According to a TCRA press release issued Tuesday, “In meetings the company executives clarified that they will no longer give to anti-gay organizations.”
That was the stipulation gay activists, led by Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno, made earlier this summer, after Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy said in interviews that he and his family are “guilty as charged” of holding biblical views on marriage. Moreno vowed to block the construction of the franchise unless the company changed its beliefs and stopped supporting “hate groups.” Moreno relented to the construction this week, spinning Chick-fil-A’s statement as a victory for his side — despite the fact that it was made before he denied the permit. (my emphasis)
I hope this does turn out to be false. Like I said, when a city bans a business because of their politics or religion that’s the city’s loss, not the business’.
Figures that leftists would lie about it in an attempt to tarnish Chick-fil-A’s reputation.
How long until the other shoe drops. How long until we find out that they also are now funding “equality”?
Stephan The Original says:
————–
Yeah, as usual, the leftits lunatic moonbats are lying.
Yeah, they’re not going to fund “hate groups” – because they never did. They’re not going to fund groups that “discriminate” – because they never did. Plus the media has been lying about them:
Many news agencies reported that Chick-fil-A had specifically agreed not to give money to … the National Organization for Marriage (NOM). NOM said Wednesday it has never received money from the foundation.
I wonder if the claim they said they would not is true, or not.
What I don’t see is any confirmation about the claim they’re going to stop funding Focus on the Family.
Is either FotF or NOM “anti-gay”? How?
Just because they support the traditional definition and view of marriage? How is that “anti-gay”? Nobody says gays can’t marry – they just have to follow THE SAME RULES AS EVERYONE ELSE. Rule #1 – choose someone of the opposite sex to marry.
For the right to open one store in Chicago they forfeit the support of millions of people who aplauded their standing up for their values.
Not very bright.
There is nothing as craven as corporate America.
They’re protestants, after all. Whichever way the wind blows and we’ll find some passage in scripture to justify it. Weak.
Sinister, the question is not “Why do they have to give organizations money?”. Quite the opposite in fact. They have to stop giving money to an organization in order to do business in that area.
And while you are fascinated with our consistency, you have not even bothered to think of one think. The person that threatened CFA with zoning restrictions and laws to prevent them from moving into “his” area has agree to stop all that over this donation. It was apparently critical to him. Do you have any issue with that?
I’ll eat broken glass before given them a red cent now. After all of the support they received during the LGBT/MSM assault attempting to destroy their business they now “quietly” concede in order to open up a few franchises in a dying liberal city? Fuck Chick-fil-A.
Soon they will have to change their name to veggie fil a.
I hope you realize this was a hoax, perpetrated by anti-CFA people, folks!!
We need a retraction of this story Van Helsing!
Yes, this seems to be another far left lie. Please research, confirm, and amend as needed.
I’m trying to confirm this…no luck so far. Anyone?
If true (that is to say, if the story was a plant by some leftist assholes), it just emphasizes the utter vileness of the progressives. Lies are mother’s milk to these insects.
Anyone…is or is this not a legit story?
UNFRICKINBELIEVABLE! WHY WHY WHY does it seem that everyone caves in to these leftwing loonies. SCREW THEM…AND SCREW CHICKEN-SHIT FIL-A!
FEEL the backlash CHICK!!
I guess freedom of thought, expression, association has died a slow and painful death on the altar of political correctness. I believe the Chicago alderman is guilty of extortion and of violating the constitution. But the folks at chick-a-fil were more interested in opening up a store than in having some back bone.
“They’re protestants, after all. Whichever way the wind blows and we’ll find some passage in scripture to justify it. Weak.”
Like when they ignore those passages that pertain to Lent, praying to Mary, transubstantiation, office of the vicar, confession to a priest, selling of indulgences, purgatory…
You people are horrible hypocrites. When One Million Moms protests against a LGBT person being hired or reality having an impact in comic books, you stand on the sidelines an clap for “Americans” standing up to the evil evil gay agenda – but, when a conservative business chooses that profits are more important then their own values, you all cry and whine like little babies about how unfree that business is.
THEY MADE THAT DECISION THEMSELVES. SCREAM AND WHINE ON A CHICK-FILLA-A HOTLINE IF YOU’RE PISSED.
There’s a difference between disapproving of an action and demanding a law against it.
This is a free country. We can disapprove of appeasement, pandering, and servitude to political pressure all we like. One reason I disagree of their alleged caving (now that evidence is mounting that the story was fabricated by the Left) is that I believe it would be a net detriment to their profits, even with being able to open a branch in Chicago. Why? In general, people appreciate integrity. There’s a certain appeal to sticking with your values, even when a person may not entirely agree with them. Like how people give Ron Paul credit for sticking to his guns even though his foreign policy is stuck in the 19th century.
Leftists seem incapable of comprehending the state of merely holding an opinion. To them everything approved must be mandatory, and everything disapproved must be banned. The concept that two people can live their lives in complete disagreement and still work together is completely alien to them.
It is not true that Chic-fil-a is giving in to the gay agenda. See this:

You guys have been on this site a long time and post a lot. I wish you would vet this crap when it doesn’t smell right instead of going off half-cocked and looking like fools, and then ripping on other posters. You lose a lot of credibility.
