"Former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee decreed Wednesday, Aug. 1, to be "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day." The former Republican governor of Arkansas says he "has been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick Fil-A company because the CEO, Dan Cathy, made comments recently in which he affirmed his view that the Biblical view of marriage should be upheld."

Of course, not one word of that is accurate, not even that Dan Cathy is the CEO (his dad is), and if you're standing in line waiting for your chicken sandwich and waffle fries, why not take a moment to learn about what Chick-fil-A really does, and -- even if you're opposed to same-sex marriage -- what your money is buying.

Here are five reasons why Chick-fil-A isn't what you think:

1) Chick-fil-A has donated at least $5 million to organizations (including a certified hate group) that, among other things, depict gay people as pedophiles, want to make "gay behavior" illegal, and even say gay people should be "exported" out of America.

Even if you oppose same-sex marriage, do you really want to support a company that advocates putting gay people in jail, or "exporting" them, just because they're gay?

2) Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy didn't merely say he supports traditional marriage. Dan Cathy said if you support gay marriage, you "are inviting God's judgment on our nation," and that we "shake our fist at Him" when we do. Dan Cathy also said same-sex marriage is the result of a "deprived" mind and called it "twisted up kind of stuff."

Even if you don't support same-sex marriage, do you really think gay marriage is "inviting God's judgment on our nation"? Haven't we all heard enough blame from those who claim to speak for the Lord, like after Katrina or, more recently, after the shooting in Aurora, Colo.?"

1. Certified by whom? Hmmmmmm?

2. But it's okay for Muslims to call for an end to the Great Satan. That's just free speech.



Kiss my ass

certified by Whom .......... SPLC ?

what other progressive intolerance group ?

Kiss my ass

You know, this is how I pretty much feel about liberal activists in general. If their goal was to make me like gays/blacks/women/Muslims/whatever more, they have failed miserably and accomplished just the opposite. I have to remind myself constantly that not all gays/blacks/women/Muslims/whatever are intolerant nasty ugly nutcases, which is a shame because I never used to think about them at all. They were just people before they became media enemies.

I've got a cheek you can pucker up for too, dimwit

Lucky. You wanna see it?

I think people are missing the point that - you are totally allowed to be a bigot. You CAN be prejudiced. You can go on a stump and ridicule rednecks because they cling to their guns and their religion. Just ask the President.

What you CAN'T do is discriminate on the basis of those things. You can't have policies that put race or religion or gender or whatever as a criterion for discrimination - and they do not do that.

You can absolutely go out in public and carry a sign declaring you hate conservatives. You can. Try it, you'll be praised by NBC. The HuffPo will write a piece on you that day. You are allowed to hate people. That's part of freedom of speech.

What I don't support is pressuring people to silence them, and that is always part of the liberal approach. And as long as they take that tactic, I have to fight them. I can't do "live and let live" if I tolerate them but they refuse to reciprocate. It's not a two-way street if I show complete tolerance for people saying things I hate, but they won't do the same.

I do tolerate it. I don't have to like it, but I tolerate it, for the very reason I've given many times before - as long as everyone tolerates others, everyone's freedom is secure. When one group says sorry, YOUR views aren't allowed, *freedom* is threatened.

Well all I can say is that it IS real good, and a LOT of folks like it! CFA reports record sales from Aug 1st!

Chick-fil-A confirms 'record-setting day' on 'Appreciation Day' | Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/02/huckabee-chick-fil-appreciation-day-beyond-anything-could-have-imagined/)

“What does Dan Cathy stating his opposition to gay marriage that is different that ..is incongruent with the position that the president of the United States, Barack Obama, held six months ago on the same issue? He was opposed to gay marriage. Does that mean for the first three-fourths of the presidency, he was a bigot?”-- Charles Krauthammer on “Special Report with Bret Baier


What Charles said. :yay:
