Wonder why there’s only one CfA in NYC? Because New Yorkers know what good food tastes like and have so many choices as to where to get superb food. That’s why CfA, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and the like don’t do well there. Why get franchised “food” when you can get the real thing? My mouth waters for a few slices of real NY pizza right now followed by spumoni or Italian ice or gelato from Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn.

Well, RIch, if your theory holds true, then there surely should not be any McDonalds in NYC, right?


Or Burger Kings:


Or Popeyes:


Or Domino’s (surely none of that cardboard with catsup on it in the home of real pizza, right?)

There’s at least one openly gay person who disagrees with you. 🙂

Remember Antoine Dodson? 😛

He is back. dailycaller.com/2012/07/26/consider-the-national-conversation-about-chick-fil-a-over-video/http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/26/consider-the-national-conversation-about-chick-fil-a-over-video/

He has a good head about this.

Not ALL gays hate chicken. :D:shrug:

When I clicked on your link I got an error page. So Tucker Carlson found a chicken eating gay? Good for Tucker. I know he is afraid of them. I don’t know how he feels about fired chicken, though.
Thanks for showing a sense of humor 🙂

Here there were hundreds of people on Wednesday at lunch time (rumor has it that there were 4000 transactions total that day, can’t confirm). I stopped by the same time today and not one protestor that I could see. Maybe I just missed them 🤷

I am sure there will be widespread reports in the news.
 
I stopped by the Lehigh Valley Mall at about 5:30 today, and as it is Friday, I just had fruit, but no one was kissing anyone, and business was kind of normal. No armed guards today, either. There were not many homosexuals hanging around.
 
I’m annoyed but not at all surprised by the disparity in the coverage between the pro-Chick-fil-a day and today’s kiss-in. Most of the stories about Wednesday’s event took a negative tone, while most of the stories about the kiss-in were glowingly positive. Locally, there were regular reports about the kiss-in today, before, during and after the lunch hour. They had a grand total of zero reports of same sex kisses. However, they were sure to mention several times that 15,000 people were expected to participate. On Wednesday, if the local stations mentioned numbers at all, they said that “hundreds” of people went to the stores locally, even though individual stores were reporting 1500-2000 customers by early afternoon. As far as the national coverage goes, I find it amusing that the story of the LA store with the “tastes like hate” spray-painted on it was linked to people opposed to the kiss-in when that was one of the catchphrases from the anti-First Amendment crowd. The vague report of the bomb scare confused me as well, since I know there was a bomb threat on Wednesday, yet the story that mentioned it today didn’t give a location or state whether the bomb threat was made today or on Wednesday.

As far as the farcical lawsuit filed in IL, the mainstream media is the ones who spread the message of intolerance. Dan Cathy never said anything along those lines.

But he did donate 25K to the 'kill the gays" in Uganda people. That’s not nice.

Amen, Antoine. I have to admit, I was waiting for him to say, “Y’all dumb. Y’all are so dumb.” lol Which he didn’t; but at least he said, “so you can run and tell that.” A catch phrase was definitely called for. 🙂 I particularly liked the fact that he was drinking from a Chick-fil-A cup while he was talking. That was a nice touch.

Please show me where WinShape (Chik-Fil-A’s charitable wing) donated 25 K to Exodus International (or the Ugandan evangelical party who were actually responsible for passing the controversial legislation in Uganda).

[WinShape 2010, Publicly Available IRS 990 Form via Foundation Center] : dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990pf_pdf_archive/581/581595471/581595471_201012_990PF.pdf

The tax return clearly states WinShape only donated $1000 to Exodus International.
 
In light of the ongoing Chick-fil-A same-sex marriage controversy, a Los Angeles City Council candidate sent a letter Friday to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, urging him to “lead a delegation of local clergy and representatives of the LGBT community” to meet with company President Dan Cathy and convey to him the “destructive nature” of his company’s stance.

Since they couldn’t stir up the mob against Cathy, they now want to try diplomacy. 🤷

The man was a verbal bully and he got his in kind. What an idiot for video taping himself…being an idiot…and then posting it on Youtube…so the world could bear witness to his cleverness.

I’m sure he wasn’t expecting the reaction he has received. To be honest, I’m a little bit surprised myself. I was a bit afraid to read comments about the guy and his actions because I really thought he would be supported by many, but comments seem to overwhelmingly support the idea that he is a verbal bully at the very least.

One of the great things about the Internet is that it provides a way of documenting and displaying your stupidity for the entire world to see, forever.

Good for him. What a senseless and mean thing to do. If you want to complain, take it to the corporate office. What did he accomplish other than traumatizing a kindhearted, friendly young woman who was just trying to serve him? I guess he wanted to show the world what a big man he was by verbally assaulting a much younger girl from the safety of his own car.

Stupid. Just stupid. I hope he learns something from this, but he’s already giving interviews claiming HE’S the victim. Not the girl he just berated and seemed to have on the verge of tears. What a five-letter word.
