August 1, 201214 yr Seriously? The gay community has been fighting for the right to marry for years. Why would you think they're not opposed to this guy's stance and will stop supporting his business? Yes. Seriously. They're not offended, they're pushing their agenda. Happens all the time. Taking false offense has become an art in today's world. Makes for great publicity.
August 1, 201214 yr Yes. Seriously. They're not offended, they're pushing their agenda. Happens all the time. Taking false offense has become an art in today's world. Makes for great publicity. Doesn't every person/ group that is offended "push their agenda?"
August 1, 201214 yr Sure they do, never said otherwise. OK. However, that would seem to indicate that you believe no group is ever truly offended(discussion for a new thread).
August 1, 201214 yr Sure groups get offended but not nearly as often as actions would have us believe. It makes for great drama and publicity and is a tool used by most groups these days.
August 1, 201214 yr The thing that does not get emphasized in the gay marriage debate, is that even from a conservative perspective, who wants the federal government intervening in marriage and family law that has always been a state issue? Can't have both states rights and federal intevention when it meets your interest. Chick-Fil-A will be just fine. They will benefit from all the free media attention.

I think what you're saying is conservatives are for states rights until a state comes up with something that they disagree with. It seems to be an inconsistent message.

August 1, 201214 yr Did that happen? No, just wondering what the reaction would be? Ramsey has said he would see if he could have the CFA lease revoked.
August 1, 201214 yr Boone County public libraries are awarding the kids who complete the summer reading program with a free Chik-Fil-A kids meal coupon. :thumb: Even the gay kids? :lol:
August 1, 201214 yr I am still perplexed by all the backlash. You ask a devout Christian business owner who refuses to open his doors on Sunday about his personal beliefs then get outraged when you do not like his response? Not sure what people were expecting him to say?

Not sure what people were expecting him to say? I think the "who" is irrelevant to those who are offended. It's simply one more chance for them to raise the issue to a large audience. No way they're surprised.
August 1, 201214 yr CFA averaged $12.7M per day (6 day week) in 2011. I will be curious to hear what they did today.
August 1, 201214 yr Ate at Chick-Fil-A today for lunch. Unbelievable crowd. We had to wait 15 minutes to order and another 30 minutes to get our food. The line was out the door and around the building. The drive through window was the same. Cars lining up around the building and they even made two car lines and had workers out in the parking lot taking orders. Workers inside were waiting tables and refilling drinks for everyone. They were doing their best to provide great service and I thought they were doing a great job given the situation. All of this and it seemed as if everyone was happy to be there. Did not hear one complaint the entire time I was there. And the food was great as always. :thumb:
August 1, 201214 yr No, just wondering what the reaction would be? Ramsey has said he would see if he could have the CFA lease revoked.Went back and re-read what you said and I get your point now and it was a very good one. I'm guessing the fit would hit the shan.
