Chick-fil-A DAY.. LUNCH OR DINNER SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c89tyUPOuv4 Click this link and sing your way into Chick-fil-A
Support Chick-fil-A today!!!!!!!! I hear that the lines started early this morning all over Jacksonville. Time to get out and support them..When did it NOT become okay for any business to state their postion on their companies values??
The following is from the Huff Post - Religion:
Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and Fox News host, has had enough of what he called the "vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry" aimed at Chick-fil-A.
On his Facebook page, Huckabee announced that Aug. 1 will be "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day," a day on which he is encouraging people to patronize the fast food chain.
SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE
The former presidential candidate is upset that the fast food chicken chain has been the target of criticism in the wake of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's saying last week that his company supports "the biblical definition of the family unit."
The National Organization for Marriage, a group organized to oppose same-sex marriage, called him a "corporate hero for marriage," while others were quick to condemn his comments.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino even went so far as to tell the Boston Herald that "Chick-fil-A doesn’t belong in Boston."
"You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population," he said, according to the Herald. "We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion."
And on Friday, the Jim Henson Company, the group behind "The Muppets" and "Fraggle Rock," released a statement saying it has "notified Chick-fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors." Jim Henson's "Creature Shop" toys are currently available in the company's kid's meals.
Huckabee further explained the purpose of his pro-Chick-fil-A campaign on his Facebook Page:
The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant.
State Sen. Dan Patrick (R-Texas) and the group Concerned Women for America have promoted the event, which is not affiliated with Chick-fil-A.
Huckabee's full statement about "Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day" is on his website

I can't eat fried food. Even if I couldn't I wouldn't eat chik-fil-a.
The truth is they spent 5 million dollars, and gave it to multiple organizations that advocate the Arrest, Detention, and in some cases, Execution, of people who are gay.
It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, or cathy's views. But that type of extremism doesn't belong in any religion, and it has no business trying to promote policies in the government. NO religion does.

I usually do not eat fast food but you can bet I will show up today and as often as possible. Thank God Christians are finally sick and tired of liberal hate speech!

Fear and intimadation are the lefts way. I and my family will eat there more offten to support our God given right to Freedom of Religion, and Freedom of Speach. I hope Chi Town lets there mayor know this as well. To say any American who believes in God and follows the teachings in the Bible are not welcome in Chicago or Boston is going to back fire on them worse than they could ever believe. As for the Jim Henson Co., the way to make them see the error of there way, is to not by there products or take your children to any of the movies.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
