There is a huge uproar in Illinois, this week, as Chick-fil-A and Chicago politicians clash over personal beliefs.

Isn't it interesting that the media probed and prodded the COO of Chick-fil-A to give a position on this issue, then used that statement to create a firestorm? Note, please, that I said "interesting" and not "surprising", because we know that this is SOP for the media.
Chick-fil-A is a private company that has zero ties to the Government other than paying taxes. Thousands of employees are employed by the company and not a single one of them is asked to work on Sunday. An openly Christian based business, their values are made clear to their employees and shared openly to the public. Sadly, politicians and activists use those values as a target for their secular agenda. How sad, right? With so many bad corporations and groups in the country, these morons choose to attack a company because it believes in Christianity.
A simple Wiki search will show you that nearly 80% of Americans are Christian.

The key issue is that Chicago politicians are now blocking approval for a new Chick-fil-A from being built in the Chicago area. On a side note, thanks to the media blowing up this situation, Chick-fil-A now lost sponsorship from The Henson Group - they are a bunch of libs, so not surprised. Blocking a new successful business from opening a branch in Chicago only hurts the citizens of Chicago! 50-70 new jobs, not happening. Let's not forget the residual jobs from suppliers, advertisers, etc. Clearly, these politicians are confident that their constituents will still vote for them in spite of this.
The media and politicians are making quite the scene, but that pales in comparison to the activists who came out of the woodwork to do their damage. They have decided to go to the restaurants and protest by making out, openly. They call it a "kiss-in". This is how they think they will get their message across? Sad. What do they THINK will happen? That the entire Chick-fil-A organization will change their core values? It is not going to happen. If you want to hurt a company for their beliefs, just don't go buy their product. I avoid Wal-Mart specifically to protest their business practices.
The Chicago politicians need to leave Chick-fil-A alone and go focus on the problems of Chicago and stop blocking those who are bringing opportunities to improve job numbers, tax revenue, etc. The activists need to realize that 80 out of 100 people do not believe in what they believe in. Please let the majority (though often too silent) have things the way that they want them and stop forcing their agendas on the masses.
It is just about time for lunch. Guess where I am headed?
God Bless you!
