yep, lol those are the ones. Hate groups
Just because they oppose gay marriage, same as Obama was when he was elected by those mad about Chick-fil-A now?
Buy hey, take a look at those fast food ratings. Not only do the people love Chick-fil-A, but they love Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake too! Humm... I wonder if Papa Murphy is a closet Tea Partier... :can't hear

That was not the case. Several retarded, fascist mayors have said they did not want that company in their town and would screw with the permitting process to keep them out.
The mayor of Boston has already backed down, I do not have time check the rest.
"The Herald first reported last week that Menino — upset about Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s opposition to same-sex marriage and donations to anti-gay groups — warned “it will be very difficult” for the chain to obtain licenses for a restaurant in Boston.
“I can’t do that,” Menino acknowledged yesterday. “That would be interference to his rights to go there.”"

Pinegrass, first, after 6 pages of discussion here you ask us to explain this whole Chick Fil A thing to you, and then you mix up Papa John with Papa Murphy? You might want to educate yourself a little on the subject before you jump into the discussion next time

Those Chick Fil La values are not American values..ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL HERE IN AMERICA.

No, you are mixed up. I did read all 6 pages and just didn't see an explanation of why the anger. And I still don't get it other than they oppose gay marriage, same as Obama did his first 3 1/2 years as President. So if you voted for Obama, why weren't you so angry about it in 2008? And I still haven't seen any actual examples of discrimination by them on a national scale yet.
And no, I never mentioned Papa John (perhaps you need a vision check?). I only mentioned Papa Murphy because I know you posted how much you loved them in another thread here and I thought you'd appreciate that they were highly rated too...
"I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman..."

So if he was such a "bigot" back then, why vote for him but boycott a measly chicken fast food place? You guys seem to have your priorities all out of sync.
I couldn't care less about this either way based on someone's opinion on gay marriage, so long as they don't actually discriminate. And again, what policy does Chick-fil-A have to discriminate in either their hiring or against the people they serve?
I don't spend my money with businesses that fund bigotry.
Is there some part of that you're having trouble with? If you want to create your own definition that encompasses workplace discrimination, have fun. That's not part of my reason for not spending my money there.
But, hey, you got to use the word "Obama" in a sentence...
