Support Chick Fil-A
Mike Huckabee
I have been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick fil-A company because the CEO, Dan Cathy, made comments recently in which he affirmed his view that the Biblical view of marriage should be upheld. The Cathy family, led by Chick fil-A founder Truett Cathy, are a wonderful Christian family who are committed to operating the company with Biblical principles and whose story is the true American success story. Starting at age 46 Truett Cathy built Chick fil-A into a $4 billion a year enterprise with over 1600 stores. At 91, he is still active in the company, but his son Dan runs it day to day as CEO.It's a great American story that is being smeared by vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry from the left.
The Chick fil-A company refuses to open on Sundays so that their employees can go to church if they wish. Despite the pressure from malls, airports, and the business world to open on Sundays, they still don't. They treat customers and employees with respect and dignity.
I ask you to join me in speaking out on Wednesday, August 1 "Chick fil-A Appreciation Day.” No one is being asked to make signs, speeches, or openly demonstrate. The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant. This effort is not being launched by the Chick fil-A company and no one from the company or family is involved in proposing or promoting it.
There's no need for anyone to be angry or engage in a verbal battle. Simply affirm appreciation for a company run by Christian principles by showing up on Wednesday, August 1 or by participating online – tweeting your support or sending a message on Facebook.

A clock that strikes 13 is naturally to be questioned; 13 clocks that strike at once is a miracle.

The event at Chic-Fil-A may have bought America a little more time. The sin of Sodomy immediately precedes the fall of nations. We have reached the bottom of the barrell on the God's list of sins. We should PLEASE GOD and banish the Sodomite community in America.
"gay-bashing" you say?
Statement: "Guilty as charged" ___Scott Agee
Can a Sodomite be saved?
Read Romans chapter 1
Then name 3 that have been (truly converted)
I know you could name 3 drunks, 3 murderers, 3 adulterers, 3 liars, 3 thieves...
But 3 converted Sodomites who can find? (Scottverbs 6:6)
Please understand: God will do whatever is righteous (without my permission)
I believe America could have some extended mercy
before the inevitable judgement falls on our nation (not the world)
Pray for the Sodomites' defeat, failure and judgement today! -

Hi Mike, I was excited and glad to participate in the Chick Fil-A day. We needed to do that. We need that same participation in November, too. But PLEASE, make it known somehow that this was more about FREE SPEECH and the freedoms we enjoy (for the moment) in this country. I'd hate to see the left twist and use it harmfully. (Not that I don't share your opinion on our values...)

I absolutely support Ceo Cathy and will not let the "left" redefine marriage! God created it ,and He is the only One to define it. P.S. I view Huckabee every week on Fox News- Fair and Balanced and Sensible !!! I'll keep the situation in my prayers.

Dear Gov. Huckabee. I suggest that each Chick-fil-a manager take drinks out to the protesters on friday. The Lord said to love your enemies. Love them and be nice to them The Lord will judge them.sa
