Chick Fil-A I'm very sure plans to and wishes to stay in business for the decades to come.

The last election showed Huge numbers of young citizens voting for President Obama and for Same Sex Marriage in those states that had it on the ballot.

Chick Fil-A as a company is no dummy when it comes to revenue forecasting as has been proven by their phenomenal growth.

Any rational thinking person can see that within a few years Chick-Fil-A must either change with the times and cater to those that will purchase their product or they will begin a downward spiral of loss.

With the average age of a self proclaimed conservative family values voter at 54 years of age simple supply and demand economics will show exactly where Chick-Fil-A's allegiance is and will be in the immediate future.

What backfire? What fail?
What do you base your assertion on?

The only way to judge the impact is to see insider sales volume numbers over time...
as well as the nearby alternative stores insider numbers.

You want to keep them 100% out of your world so that's why you post here?

Yes, god forbid somebody challenge you to THINK and hear views other than your own... do you really want a world full of Dale Coopers?

I certainly wouldn't want a world of 100% gizmo980s, but maybe I'm just more tolerant than you - and yet, you guys actually want us to believe the BS about liberals being the intolerant ones. Yeah right. Next time I hear that nonsense, I will just reference your post here. Thanks!

Who tried to stop his "freedom of speech?" He is allowed to say/believe as he chooses, and everyone is allowed to spend or not spend their money at this restaurant. No? I couldn't give one crap what he thinks about gay marriage, I just wouldn't want MY money going to fund hate groups... so if they're donating a portion of profits to those groups, now that I know, I will make sure to avoid going there. Not that I would anyway, since I refrain from fast food unless I'm desperate (and don't even know where a CFA is around here).

I think they thought all non-RWNJs were foaming at the mouth, and expecting ChickFA to close its doors in a matter of days. Not quite, lol.

Boycotts aren't about making someone cave for me, its about expressing my personal view. If I don't like your business practice, I won't go there. For the record, I don't like Chick-Fil-A's food, I hate their fries, the entrees are to small in proportion fo the price, I just don't like what I get there. Lots of local stores with more food at a cheaper price.

That and I find it absurd they are closed on Sunday, when the Sabbath is on Saturday. If you're going to be super religious, then stick to the book
Sounds like a 5-year old's "FINE. I didn't want your food ANYWAY. HMPHH!"
