Let's all eat at Chick-Fil-A this week. Now the Socialists have targeted
Chick-Fil-A, a Southern based company with the below resume..
I think, I'll have a Chick-Fil-A sandwich tomorrow.
See below. Chick-fil-A is an American success story. Founded by Georgian
entrepreneur Truett Cathy in 1946, the family-owned chicken-sandwich chain
is one of the country's largest fast-food businesses. It employs some 50,000
workers across the country at 1,500 outlets in nearly 40 states and the
District of Columbia ... The company generates more than $2 billion in
revenue and serves millions of happy customers with trademark Southern
hospitality.
So, what's the problem? Well, Chick-fil-A is run
by devout Christians who
believe in strong marriages, devoted families, and the highest standards of
character for their workers. The restaurant chain's official corporate
mission is to "glorify God" and "enrich the lives of everyone we touch.."
The company's community-service initiatives, funded through its WinShape
Foundation, support foster-care, scholarship, summer-camp, and
marriage-enrichment programs. On Sunday, all Chick-fil-A stores close so
workers can spend the day at worship and rest.
Over the past month, several progressive-activist blogs have waged an ugly
war against Chick-fil-A. The company's alleged atrocity: One of its
independent outlets in Pennsylvania donated some sandwiches and brownies to
a marriage seminar run by the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which happens
to oppose same-sex marriage.
In the name of tolerance, the anti-Chick-fil-A hawks sneered at the
company's
main product as "Jesus Chicken," derided its no-Sunday-work
policy, and attacked its operators as "anti-gay." Petition drives on
websites are demanding the company change and disavow their standards.
Facebook users dutifully organized witch hunts against the company on
college campuses.
Progressive groups are gloating over Chick-fil-A's public-relations
troubles. This is not because they care about winning hearts and minds over
gay rights or marriage policy, but because their core objective is to
marginalize political opponents and chill Christian philanthropy and
activism.. The fearsome "muscle flexing" is being done by the hysterical
bullies trying to drive them off of college grounds and out of their
neighborhoods in the name of "human rights."
