Chick Fil A is apparently no longer a hostage in the ongoing social values war. The company appears to have been released after telling a Chicago based group they were refocusing their charitable donations made through the WinShape Foundation.
We learned the news by way of Chicago’s The Civil Right Agenda (TCRA) an LGBT-rights advocacy group, who report that Chick-fil-A has penned a letter saying, “The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas.” That letter was addressed to Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno, who along with Boston mayor Thomas Menino, said they would block the chain for its anti-gay views. WinShape is the chain’s not-for-profit charitable arm that had previously donated to groups opposing gay marriage. TCRA adds, “In meetings the company executives clarified that they will no longer give to anti-gay organizations, such as Focus on the Family and the National Organization for Marriage.”
I can now resume my chicken biscuit breakfasts only making the statement that I’m still off my diet, which is nice.

Now if we can only get them to acknowledge that Saturday is the TRUE Sabbath, and looks at what closing on Saturday will do to Ye Holye Bottome Line.
Only then can we do the Christian thing, and Forgive these Tresspassers

Off topic but you know SOON someone has to post about “Carter’s Revenge”.
It changed everything, you worthless, government dependent, non-taxpayer bums!
So after all that nonsense of people standing in line for an hour for a chicken sandwich, “teh gayz” are gonna win? How can you allow that?
When did they ever stop selling chicken?
Sunday. You new around here?
Well, duh…. ZAP! You got me.
Y’all been punked.
Kiss my grits
Why in the hell did they cave? Or did they? Why are the media saying the Chicago alderman blocked expansion into Chicago? Why are they saying Chicago alderman abuses power and illegally threatens law abiding company with retaliation?
I mean why AREN’T they saying Chicago alderman abuses power etc.
They may not have actually caved.
The alderman threatened to block expansion but perhaps that is all.
IF Chick Fil A is discriminating, they may need to change. (I don’t know of any evidence that they are actually discriminating.)
