Colonel Sanders is probably the most loved American in the world.

If I did it, so can you. Be strong.

LOL, fear or hatred has nothing to do with it. If they printed excerpts from the Koran I'd also object to that too (and I'm willing to bet a lot of right wingers would boycott them.) Religion, and politics for that matter, have no place in the service industry where you run the risk of offending your customers. Ever heard the saying "don't bring up religion or politics at the dinner table?" There are plenty of fast food establishments for me to choose from who don't violate that principal.

They do. they cut their fresh Kennebuk potatoes right there on site. I believe that they use 100% vegetable oil, not lard or anything too unhealthy. They are not that frozen gruel fried in hate oil that CFA serves up.

I'm an atheist, but I don't care what they print on their wrappers. I throw out the wrappers, I don't read them.

Colonel Sanders was also a perfect butt hole as a person: FACT.

I attended college in the city in which KFC is headquartered, so I certainly got some education about the man.

I am shocked that a beloved California institution would be owned & operated in such a fashion.

Boycott In-N-Out Burger!


Why the Bible References on In-N-Out Wrappers? - YouTube

Are you really so obtuse that you don't know the difference between putting bible verses on a cup and giving profits directly to groups that work against human rights?
