Chicken-fried Politics

Totally agree on the Publix for a sub bit. They meat they use is so much better.

Beach Runner, you might find the linked article interesting. I know I did. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shane-l-windmeyer/dan-cathy-chick-fil-a_b_2564379.html

Nice article. Good for Chik Fil A by standing by what they believe regardless of what society thinks, they don't cram it down people's throats and they are upstanding corporate citizens. If you don't like what they believe in, don't go there. They have an opinion and everyone else has theirs. Personally I don't like their food, but I respect what they do.

Thanks for sharing that article. Very good read! I always felt that Chic Filet had the best interest of their employees at heart. I don't really care about their personal "values"... and when all the previous anti-gay marriage hit the fan, I was pretty sure then it was fueled by the likes of Huckabee, etc. And I really don't care what they think in the least.

I've always heard good things about Chic Filet as a corporation and employer.

I have no doubt he is a nice man, but later that same year when the SCOTUS struck down DOMA Mr. Cathy tweeted, "Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies."
I agree people have a choice of where to spend their money and many choose not to spend it at Chic-Fil-A because of the strong anti-gay stance. America will progress as it always does and leave Dan Cathy and others like him behind just as it did with the Civil Rights Act in the 1960's.

I've never been to Chick Fil-A. For many years it was for no particular reason. I knew nothing of the antiquated views coming from their top brass. If they had stayed out of religion and politics, I probably would have checked the place out just out of curiousity, even though I'v pretty much given up fast food. I'm no longer curious. If an establishment acquires a bad vibe, it sticks, and people will avoid it.

I'm just speaking for a certain segment of the population. I realize that they don't need to expand their target market in order to be very successful, and that they can get away with alienating a segment of the public. I also don't need to expand my restaurant options in order to get a good delicious meal. It's perfectly reasonable and practical for some of us to avoid Chik Fil-A like the plague.
