FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to
our first wives,” he said. “We give God thanks for that.” His remarks came
after Mr
Obama said in May that he backed the right of homosexual couples to marry
— a position that his Democratic Party will make official policy at its
convention next month.
Mr Cathy, whose Baptist father founded the company in 1967, added that the US
was “inviting God’s judgment” by saying “we know better than you as to what
constitutes a marriage”.
The comments prompted outrage from leaders on the political Left, who pledged
that they would block Chick-fil-A’s expansion in their areas.
“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values,” said Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of
Chicago and Mr Obama’s former chief of staff. “They disrespect our fellow
neighbours and residents.”
Christine Quinn, the speaker of New York’s city council and favourite to
succeed Michael Bloomberg as mayor, asked New York University to close a
Chick-fil-A branch on its campus.
“NYC is a place where we celebrate diversity,” wrote Ms Quinn, who is
homosexual. “We revel in the diversity of all our citizens and their
families.”
Even the Jim Henson Company, whose Muppets toys were given away with
Chick-fil-A’s children’s meals, ended the tie-in and pledged to donate
profits from it to a homosexual rights charity.
However, their interventions pushed conservative politicians and
chicken-lovers to rally round the restaurant, whose executives have also
donated millions of dollars to anti-homosexual groups.
It announced record-breaking sales on Wednesday after Mike Huckabee, a
Republican former presidential candidate and Arkansas governor, declared it
“Chick-fil-A appreciation day”.
Outlets were packed across the country, with police called in to marshal
hours-long queues of conservative activists and lines of vehicles snaking
from restaurant car parks.
Bryan Fischer, a senior leader of the American Family Association, declared
that the chain had defeated “Big Gay” — an interest group he suggested was
comparable to “Big Tobacco” or “Big Pharma” — and would help Mitt Romney
oust Mr Obama from the White House.
Democrats who previously spoke out appeared surprised by the response. Mr
Emanuel clarified that he would not seek to block the restaurant from
Chicago, while Ms Quinn insisted she had been speaking personally — despite
her letter being written on official stationery.
