Leftists just launched another anti-Christian attack on Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A is one of the radical Leftists’ favorite targets.
It’s a successful capitalistic company that upholds Christian values.
So when Chick-fil-A opened a new restaurant in the leftist bastion of New York City, liberals flipped their lid.
In 2012, leftists launched a boycott of Chick-fil-A for what they called its “anti-gay” policies.
That strategy backfired in a big way as former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee initiated “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” which some estimates say increased sales by 30% on average.
Leftists are still holding onto their grudge.
The New Yorker published an article titled, “Chick-fil-A’s Creepy Infiltration of New York City,” in which they rip the fast food giant for what it represents.
The New Yorker writes:
New York has taken to Chick-fil-A. One of the Manhattan locations estimates that it sells a sandwich every six seconds, and the company has announced plans to open as many as a dozen more storefronts in the city. And yet the brand’s arrival here feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism. Its headquarters, in Atlanta, are adorned with Bible verses and a statue of Jesus washing a disciple’s feet. Its stores close on Sundays. Its C.E.O., Dan Cathy, has been accused of bigotry for using the company’s charitable wing to fund anti-gay causes, including groups that oppose same-sex marriage. “We’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation,” he once said, “when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’ ” The company has since reaffirmed its intention to “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect,” but it has quietly continued to donate to anti-L.G.B.T. groups. When the first stand-alone New York location opened, in 2015, a throng of protesters appeared. When a location opened in a Queens mall, in 2016, Mayor Bill de Blasio proposed a boycott. No such controversy greeted the opening of this newest outpost. Chick-fil-A’s success here is a marketing coup. Its expansion raises questions about what we expect from our fast food, and to what extent a corporation can join a community.
…
Still, there’s something especially distasteful about Chick-fil-A, which has sought to portray itself as better than other fast food: cleaner, gentler, and more ethical, with its poultry slightly healthier than the mystery meat of burgers. Its politics, its décor, and its commercial-evangelical messaging are inflected with this suburban piety.
Could you imagine if the tables were turned?
What if a respected publication wrote about the “creepy infiltration” of radical Islam and Sharia law?
Would that get the same treatment from the leftwing media?
After all, just consider what’s happening in Western Europe today where “no go zones” are popping up in nearly every major city.
The New Yorker’s disgusting attack against Chick-fil-A is a thinly veiled screed against traditional American values.
And “Moot” too
Thanks Franklin. Been a little distracted lately. Just don’t understand a person who is “proud of his Catholic faith” and doesn’t believe in Commandment #4. Just seems very odd.
no i am a 54 your old with a 154 iq so what is your problem!!
Wow!! A 154 I.Q. and still not smart enough to stop ranting and spewing your worthless opinions!.
stop the religious bias!!
i can cook much better food at home, local restaurant make much better food!!
Great!! We’ll all be over for your home for lunch!! I want a Chicken Sandwich..
i am very business oriented, why would a lucrative business close on a sunday!!
Because they observe “the day of rest” and they just want to?
Yo, small M michael, I can call a doctor for you!!
THIS IS THE LAST POPE YOU HAVE BE FOR CHRIST COMES BACK .THIS IS THE #113 POPE SO EAT YOUR CHICKEN BE FOR IT`S TO LATE
It’s time for another “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” !!!
I hope they have a Hillary Special….Only left wings and tiny breasts..
SORRY……Old joke
Chick-fil-A may be one of the radical leftists’ favorite targets, but it is one of the most highly sought after chicken meals in America. I don’t think a little left wing activism is going to stop people from supporting and eating a good meal. This country runs on it’s stomach not on crap leftist politics. Good luck Chick-fil-A.
We got our Chick-fil-A last year. It’s been a hit since it opened. The staff is very polite and courteous. And the food is delicious, consistantly. Lefties, if you don’t like it, go somewhere else. Shame to those who are against Chick-fil-A ‘s religion. Frankly, it’s none of their business.
Why is it ALL liberals look like they smoke pole? Or the fem types munchCarpet? Jeebus, what a sick lot and I don’t think we can just defeat them politically, many need planting in the wormy hole,,,,,
This Chick-fil-A horse hockey is starting to sound like Shiite versus Sunni! They are selling food!!! What would some of you absolute Dinks do if people started boycotting MacDonald’s because they hire more Christian managers? Their business might improve if they did. Or if started a boycott every fast food company doing business in China because they are communist. You, anti-Christian people, are evil because you make no allowances for anything, ie. not baking cakes for same-sex weddings. Dollars to donuts that a same-sex couple operating a bakery would not have legal problems if they declined to make a cake for a hetero couple.
any restaurant that will open on sunday is useless, by the we have much better restaurants around here that are much better than chain restaurant!!
Make sense…they CLOSE Sunday, a$$wipe fool.
I have to wonder how committed these protesters are. Do they also refuse time off for Christian holidays? Do they refuse a Christmas bonus? Do they refuse gifts given to them during the Christian holidays? Do they refuse to join in with group prayer after a tragedy or death? Would they do so with their family at the death of a loved one? Are their principles really that strong or not?
You folks make an outstanding Chicken sandwich. Good for you. God bless you and all your stores. Stay true to your roots! And all these liberals can go straight to hell! Amen!
I’m going to Chick-Fil-A today for lunch. Thanks for the great lunch idea.
When liberals launch their imbecilic attacks, it usually prompts me to do the opposite. In this case, I go out of my way to patronize Chick-Fil-A!!!
I don’t protest Chick Fil A. I don’t protest the all black company that made the croutons for McDonalds restaurants. I don’t protest any all Jewish Jewelry Stores. I don’t protest Asian Restaurants who hire only Asians. I don’t protest Greek Restaurants who are all Greek staff. I don’t protest Mexican Restaurants who have an all Hispanic staff.
This is America, the Great Melting Pot. If you can make in business, putting out a good product or service then “Who Cares?”. You are free to do so. If it’s an all gay coffee shop, my concern is, “Is the coffee good?”. Are their prices fair and their store clean? Here anyone is welcome to their own beliefs in this country, as long you aren’t causing harm to others.
Want it different? Go to a country without freedoms! I’m sure you will get along just fine there!
Thanks for your great comment!! I totally agree with you 110%!! I don’t care who owns the company, all that matters is if the food and beverages are good, the store is clean, and the employees are friendly. 🙂
no, you are the idiot!!
You seem like a six year old, or a 45 IQ……..Get off mommie’s (or your boyfriend’s) computer, pole smoker….
Bill reminds us that he is COMMUNIST every day. Will he do the same for Muslim eateries since they are actually more “religious” that Chick? I saw the Times article, I know they no longer use linotype but I’ve got some lead I might be able to spare for them.
How is it that the Democrats/communist party put other religions on a pedestal including the Muslims. They fight for gay rights but they allow the Muslims to throw them off the tops of buildings . Does that make sense to anybody .? What kind of country are we going to have once sharia law takes place. Or does anybody care at this point. Because I certainly do.
You’re not alone Mike! I’d love to see all of them go to hell! THEY WILL! Mark my words. The furnace is getting ready!
You go Chick.fil.A, don’t pay any attention to these bottom feeders, they’re so far down the ladder that all they can do is make a lot of noise!
Pun: Chick-fil-A is making many cents while these Leftists are making absolutely no sense or is it just nonsense.
More people must read the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO and see what is happening, it’s online people, go read it, please.
The Democratic Party platform is now nearly identical to the Communist Manifesto.
Dave.. Your spot on. IF, anyone reads still…they should read the Articles of Revolution…The Communist Manifesto. And, after doing so, sit down and contemplate where this country is, per the manifesto’s graduated planks, on what it takes to take down a Democracy or in our case.. A Republic.
Think the liberals in NYC had better refresh their study of the Constitution especially the First Amendment. Its called Freedom of Religion or you can choose to have no religion. Just because they have their religion shown doesn’t give you the right to condemn them as public official. You can have your opinion and don’t go in there. Just as I boycott NYC for their blatant abuse of the Second Amendment. Might consider it when anyone except the rich can get carry permits for their guards. By the way hope they will pray for you
Wait a minute, is this just more of the liberal, progressive, and Democratic hypocrisy, condemning and trying to keep ‘Chick-fil-A’ out of New York city because of their belief in Christianity, and run their business by the Christian values and faith that they also live by? If this is true, then why haven’t they also put the same condemnation, and attempt to drive out, to the source of the liberals, progressives, and Democrats dissatisfaction, the Christian Churches that prevail all over the city of New York? Or is it that they know that ‘Chick-fil-A’ won’t fight back, but the people of those Christian Churches certainly will, as they fear that scenario, just as they fear Islam and Muslims, who are required by their religion to kill homosexuals and LGBT group members. With such cowards as these, it is easy to understand how ‘Chick-fil-A’ has been so successful in opening stores in New York city?
hitler was a conservative!!
and your an idiot.
No…Michael is not an idiot, just a child of the new progressive education system that teaches nothing at all worthwhile. It would seem that History and Civics are beyond his knowledge.
michael is a gay nigro, forgive him for he knows not how to think….
It seems my comment was censored, and I thought this site believed in “free speech’, as my comment had no profanity in it, but just questioned your false statement. I guess I won’t be coming back to this site ever again, since I will unsubscribe and not associate with censors who pretend to support our “Bill of Rights”.
No, Hitler was a fascist. All of history knows this. Please make sure your facts are straight. Some members of the gay community is coming down on Christians, like the Nazis did the Jews, the gays, the poles, the gypsies and those with physical or emotional disabilities. I say some members because not all of them are so prejudice against other people.
i support the current pope, he seems to be an honorable man, my preist my have been a drunk but never hurt anybody, i was an alter boy for many years!
the abuse scandal was much worst in the past!!
So basically the liberal democratic communist parties that we have now in the United States. You are either with them or you’re not and if you’re not then you’re every name under the book from Racist on down to everything else. That sounds a little bit like the way Hitler started. It’s funny how all the colleges now are pushing everything to the left and teaching nothing but those lies. But I guess that’s OK right because it’s the left.If you don’t like the way these companies think don’t go there. Otherwise leave him the hell alone they have as much right to their say as you do.
i will never eat there
OH!!!!! Michael you are missing the best Chicken Sandwich in the nation. I know you have your favorite places to eat but, please come up out of the subway and enjoy a good southern meal.
And that is YOUR CHOICE – you have the freedom to make that decision, but not the right to keep ME from going to Chik-fil-A. Please take your liberalism mental disorder and eat somewhere else!!
Just as well. I’d hate to watch you spew food as well as your ignorance and intolerance.. Chick-fil-A is better off without the likes of customers such as you.
They probably don’t serve overt homeOs anyway…..
I like them and wish we had one in our town; right along with Hobby Lobby who is decidedly Christian. Good for them!
What a great list of reasons why people should support Chic-Fil-A. The ultra-liberals in our society may drool over the gay lifestyle, but tens of millions of use believe it disgusting and immoral. And, the liberals must understand that the company is very successful in spite of the hatred of people of the liberal persuasion. Hope that gives you a severe case of heartburn.
I don’t indicate myself as being a great Christian however, I would like to suggest to all that are trying to push their immortality down everybody’s throat, pause and please for your sake: read; Psalm 34:11, you will be glad if you follow the direction of GOD!!!!!
i am a proud of my catholic faith, but a private corporation has no business try to push their views on anyone. their views could have a very negative effect on their shareholders!!
They are not PUSHING their values on anyone. If you disagree with their beliefs, do not eat there. It’s that simple. As far as their contributions, I’m sure that you also do not patronize stores that disagree with your Catholic ideals such as Home Depot and Target. As to their stockholders, they knew of Chic’s beliefs and practices before investing in them, as any good investor would.
As “a proud Catholic”, are you opposed to companies that make it a huge deal that they donate money to unPlanned Parenthood? Just curious if you “feel” those companies are pushing their beliefs on shareholders?
Doubt you are a Catholic unless of course you also support the current pope who refuses to remove pedophile priests and also supports men like Soros and the NWO. CHRISTIANS have the same rights in business as anyone else
i do support the pope and believe he is honest man, at least he stands up to loser conservatives!!
Pope rhymes with dope….I thought of you.
Chik-fil-a is a family owned business, they do not have stock or shareholders. But if they did, I would be among the first to scoop up the shares – best fast-food chicken on the planet!
No staff member at any Chick-fil-A has ever tried to convert me. Your point is mute.
In order to understand what is underway since the 1963 reading of the 45 points contained in the “Communist Manifesto” read to the US Congress, there are three paradigms now being kicked out from under US Constitution: 1) INDIVIDUAL and their GOD; 2) FAMILY (One man + one woman procreating with siblings) and; 3) COMMUNITY, formed by individuals and Families with like minded living and working standards. In order for these three to function and be viable, four basic legal functions must be also operative: 1) RELIGION – USA is a Judeo-Christian heritage nation: 2) Education – is a CLASSICS oriented form of teaching and not “one size fits ALL” better known as INDOCTRINATION; 3) Governance – a market based economy and not a WELFARE STATE one; lastly 4) Economy – Not a John Maynard Keynes one where government operates ALL levers of power but an OPEN ECONOMY a la Ludwig von Mises. Without these basic tenets in Our Constitutional Republic, might as well kiss the USA goodbye, that’s what http://www.discoverthenetworks.org what to happen. Pray. Amen. God Bless America (that was). Read A Bible. Psalm 128.
