We have become a nation of
protesting and litigious people. It used to be that if one didn't like how a
business operated, you didn't go there. It was the strongest form of protest
and if enough people didn't go there, the business did not survive. Where do we
come off now trying to change how successful private business operates by means
of slander, yellow journalism, rumors and innuendoes just because we might not
agree with their operating philosophy? The concept of majority rules is being
over-ridden by who can make the most noise.
Now the Socialists (AKA Obama Democrats) have targeted
Chick-Fil-A. A Southern based company with the below resume...
I think, I'll have a Chick-Fil-A sandwich tomorrow.
See below.
Chick-fil-A
is an American success story. Founded by Georgian entrepreneur Truett
Cathy in 1946, the family-owned chicken-sandwich chain is one of the
country's largest fast-food businesses. It employs some 50,000 workers
across the country at 1,500 outlets in nearly 40 states and the District of Columbia ... The
company generates more than $2 billion in revenue and serves millions
of happy customers with trademark Southern hospitality.
So, what's the problem? Well, Chick-fil-A is run by devout Christians who
believe in strong marriages, devoted families, and the highest
standards of character for their workers. The restaurant chain's
official corporate mission is to "glorify God" and
"enrich the lives of everyone we touch." The company's
community-service initiatives, funded through its WinShape Foundation,
support foster-care, scholarship, summer-camp, and marriage-enrichment
programs. On Sunday, all Chick-fil-A stores close so workers can spend
the day at worship and rest.
Over the past month, several progressive-activist blogs have waged an
ugly war against Chick-fil-A. The company's alleged atrocity: One of
its independent outlets in Pennsylvania
donated some sandwiches and brownies to a marriage seminar run by the
Pennsylvania Family Institute, which happens to oppose same-sex
marriage.
In the name of tolerance, the anti-Chick-fil-A hawks sneered at the
company's main product as "Jesus Chicken," derided its
no-Sunday-work policy, and attacked its operators as
"anti-gay." Petition drives on websites are demanding the
company change and disavow their standards. Facebook users dutifully
organized witch hunts against the company on college campuses.
Progressive groups are gloating over Chick-fil-A's public-relations
troubles. This is not because they care about winning hearts and minds
over gay rights or marriage policy, but because their core objective is
to marginalize political opponents and chill Christian philanthropy and
activism. The fearsome "muscle flexing" is being done by the
hysterical bullies trying to drive them off of college grounds and out
of their neighborhoods in the name of "human rights."

Please pass this
on if you believe companies with Christian principles have a right to
freely conduct business in the U.S.
