| Chick-Fil-A's signature chicken sandwich (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, is a devout Christian. That is why you can't go pick up a Chick-fil-A sandwich on a Sunday after church. If the man was strictly in business for the money, he could easily open on Sundays and make even more money. I have to admire a man who has principals and stands for those principals.
Cathy's statements in support of traditional marriage has brought out the worst in the leftist arsenal. Democrat mayors are out there stating that they do not want Chick-fil-A to operate restaurants in their cities. College campuses are doing the same thing. Many are calling for boycotts of the chain. The left is always quick to call for tolerance and civility. The funny thing is, they never want to practice tolerance and civility towards those that hold different opinions from them.
Those that want to boycott Chick-fil-A are free to decide how they want to spend their money, but they are missing out on a good chicken sandwich. I learned a long time ago, that it doesn't make sense to boycott companies, or for that matter entertainers, that I disagree with politically. If that were the case, I would have to give up all of my Jimmy Buffett music, and that ain't gonna happen.
It is funny, a friend posted a picture on Facebook that said "So you stopped eating at Chick-fil-A because the owner of the company thinks homosexuality is wrong. Tell me, when are you going to stop buying gasoline because the owners of OPEC put homosexuals to death." The left never seems to fully think through these things.
I do not have real strong feelings either way regarding gay marriage. I do, however, have a lot of respect for those that have strong religious principals and stand for them. I have only eaten at Chick-fil-A a handful of times, however, I am more apt to do so out of respect for Dan Cathy standing on principal. Besides, it just might piss off a liberal, and nothing would make me happier.
