I haven't eaten at a Chick-fil-a in over a year, and I have no intention of doing so while they hold such blatantly bigoted views and company policies.

The snack wars have just gotten ugly [merged w/ CFA hates gheyz]
|
For anyone interested here's a link to something that sort of shows the other side of the story. It's a bit weak but It's what I found. Also note that by posting this link it does not mean that I'm for Chic Fil A and what they stand for, I'm just trying to be somewhat fair by posting the other side of the story.http://www.mrc.org/articles/chick-fil-publicly-acknowledges-its-conservative-media-upset
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
If anything, the article read to me like "So what? We're 'conservative'. The liberals just don't like it"

That's not really the issue at all (at least insofar as I'm concerned); they can have whatever backwards beliefs they want. The issue for me is their monetary support of organizations that work to disseminate anti-equal marriage propaganda and that actively attempt to fight against equal marriage as though it's an issue that they have a right to decide on. It's an issue of basic civil rights, and it shouldn't even be up for debate. Yet here we sit. RE: The snack wars have just gotten ugly

And now Chik-fil-a seems to be creating sock puppets on social media sites to spin some damage control.

Wait wait, this person stood their ground against walmart and continues to draw breath? There go all of my NWO conspiracy theories...son-of-a...
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Here's another article about the (I guess it's called a) sock puppet ploy:
