That these religious bigots are also anti-gay isn't a surprise to me. Just icing on the cake. I can take my business elsewhere.
So non Christians don't like to have Sunday off? LOL that's just ignorant, they wont notice you not eating there.

Considering that the average Chick-Fil-A customer is a fat, evangelical, socially conservative southerner in poor health, I think I'd rather stay away from Chick-Fil-A whether the protests were considered successful or not.

The last time I was in CFA, I saw men in business suits, men and women of the senior set and high schoolers (having lunch) - none of these were fat. I don't know their religious beliefs (nor do/can you). Nor did it appear any of them were in poor health.

I don't know where you are getting your information from but your info does not appear plausible.

Do you have any proof to this claim or are you just crying because your little boycott got spanked? LOL

It seems like all the various groups and political officials who protested against Chick-fil-A or did not allow them in their cities (like mayors from Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.) so that Chick-fil-A could lose business seems to have backfired. Business seems to be booming for Chic-fil-A despite the controversy. Now looking back at it can we now say that the Chick-fil-A protests were a complete failure?
Of course they were a failure. It was just another way to occupy the sheeple for the time being but in the end, Chick Fil A will be just fine.

Then again, maybe it wasn't a failure...I was able to find out which of my friends were certifiable lunatics for getting so wrapped up and indignant over the whole thing. They want their freedom...but don't want to allow anyone else to have freedom. Great way to start weeding out the herd.

[quote=RobinD69;25850253]Just because they wish to live and opperate by their faith their bigots? That is very intolerant.[/quo

They only hire christians? Do they give their jewish (or other religions) employees saturdays off to worship on their sabboth?

I think it failed and not for the reasons being discussed.

In an effort to get everyone to conform to their messages, the far left have forgotten that people have, and are entitled to have, their own opinions. I feel the left is going overboard trying to get everyone to think the same.

Years ago, in my liberal days, we didn't feel differing opinions were bad. We didn't have a script that we were all supposed to follow. We didn't protest every little thing. Today's liberal messages are getting watered down with petty protests. Even the major protests, e.g. Occupy, lack a clear, cohesive message. Yes, it started by vilifying the successful and rich but it evolved into protesting everything. They also failed. Most just consider them a nuisance.
