Supporting Chick-fil-A


I don't know if you have heard about the vicious 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. Because of the CEO's personal belief Chick Fil-A has received vicious hate speech and completely intolerant bigotry. In fact, the mayor of Boston has banned Chick Fil-A from Boston. It is completely unconstitutional to be able to completely stop commerce because your own personal beliefs disagree with the personal beliefs of a chief executive officer of a company!

I have always appreciated the stand that the Chick Fil-A company makes by choosing not to open on Sundays so that their employees can go to church if they wish. Despite the pressure coming from the outside to open on Sundays, they still don't. Plus they always treat customers and employees with respect and dignity.

Because of this Mike Huckabee asks those who affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values to show up and eat at Chick-fil-A on Wednesday, August 1 for "Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day.”

Those on the left are free to make statements supporting same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians pronounce traditional values, we're too often considered homophobic, haters, intolerant, you name it. 

I believe in the freedom of Americans to speak their mind and practice their faith. If you do too please celebrate Chick fil-A Appreciation Day by eating at - and inviting your friends to eat with you at- Chick fil-A!


Wednesday, August 1, let's eat chicken not be one!
