Chick-Fil-A Publicly Acknowledges It’s Conservative, Media Upset

When the head of a major fast food chain underscores his support for traditional marriage, lefty heads explode. Dan Cathy, son of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, told the Baptist Press July 16, that the conservative restaurant chain is, in fact, still conservative.

In response to a question pertaining to the franchise’s support of the traditional family, Cathy replied “guilty as charged.” The president and chief operating officer continued, “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that... we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

I have a new found respect for chick-fil-a. For them to stand up for their beliefs, and then mention God to be the catalyst of that belief is a great thing as far as I am concerned.

I have found and I live in an over 65% aa population that they do not go to the CFA's here.  They only go to the Churches, KFC, Popeyes.  I rarely see them in the CFA's which is strange come to think of it.  :???:

Don't worry, that alderman will use some excuse besides their religious views.  Liberals lie all the time.

I'll follow the story and see what happens.  I hope it explodes in his face, but somehow I doubt it will.

The leader of a Christian group today said Ald. Joe Moreno displayed hypocrisy for his decision to deny Chick-fil-A the right to open in his ward because of the chain restaurant president’s opposition to gay marriage.

“It’s hypocritical,” said David Smith, executive director of the Illinois Family Institute, which opposes gay marriage. “Here’s the alderman turning around and being intolerant and discriminatory because somebody has a different view than he does. Would he do that to a Muslim company?”

The Tribune first reported that Moreno, 1st, announced he would exercise his aldermanic privilege to block the construction of the city’s second Chick-fil-A restaurant on the 2500 block of Elston Avenue in increasingly trendy Logan Square.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel backed Moreno’s ideological viewpoint, saying the city does not share the values espoused by Dan Cathy, president of the family-owned Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant chain.

Many Chicago officials have long courted the city’s politically active lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and Emanuel has repeatedly made clear his support for gay marriage.

Cathy was quoted July 16 in the Baptist Press saying he was "guilty as charged" for supporting "the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that."

But Smith said Cathy should not be punished for the views he holds.

Yeah, one of the articles I read said the alderman has Rahm's ideological support.  Free speech for me but not for thee.  Ugh.

It's been a while since I've eaten at Chick-Fil-A.

But I think I'm going to start making a point to.
