I like that even when he's shortening things to fit the character limit, he still makes a point of capitalizing and punctuating Chick-fil-A correctly and calls things by their full brand name and not what consumers would actually say. Doesn't sound like a paid spokesman at all!
I really don't care Chick-fil-a's stance on anything, since their food is so damn amazing. Long live a #1 with a lemonade!
Not eating their food you won't.
Nice to know we live in a country where people can get away condemning minorities as long as they make food that will kill you.
You're assuming I'm eating Chick-fil-a for every meal or something. In fact, it's one of the healthiest fast food options out there. Who was condemned? Have you actually read what Cathy said, because it just sounds like you're eating up what CNN is spoon-feeding to you.
Somebody posted a copycat recipe that's really close, apparently, and isn't soaked in brine. Only CFA near me isn't opening until next year and its in an area full of shuttered restaurants and a partially demolished mall, so even before this I wouldn't have eaten there. But I do plan on trying this recipe out this weekend.

yes but what about the breakfast chicken biscuit with honey

just because Cathy gives tons of money to organizations that hate gay people (among other groups, basically anyone who isn't a straight white Christian) and try to restrict their rights (often successfully), that doesn't make him a bad person
oh wait, it totally does, and eating at Chik-Fil-A supports that effort
I think if we really investigated where the money from all our purchases went we'd find a lot more unsavory surprises

Did you know Chex is made by Purina (that's more of an "eww" thing to me for some reason).
No more eww than the cheese on my sandwich ultimately coming from the same company as my boss's cigarettes. It's not like they're from the same facility or made from the same ingredients.
Just to make sure, none of these cities/city officials are stating that they will actively block a CFA from their cities, only that they're a bunch of bigots and that they are not welcome, right? Because I was having trouble figuring out why blocking CFA from a city was ok/allowed when blocking a Islamic community center from ground zero was wrong.
no they're just going to roast them at the next city council friar's club

I'm assumin you eat it at all. More then once a week alone is way too much.
And yes, I have. You clearly haven't because it's pretty damn cut and dried.

The Boston letter was more along the lines of banning from coming into the city, or at least making it hard for the business to operate there. The Philly letter was just condeming the CEO and said nothing about the hurting the business which I think is the correct action for a government official acting in an official manner.
I am somewhat tickled by the fact that terrible people can still make something that everybody likes. It makes me that much more proud of humanity.

As much as I dislike Chik-fil-a's stance, I'm really not comfortable with what these cities are doing.
Stop shopping at Wal-Mart etc., because if you do you're supporting child slave labor. If everyone cared about the ideological beliefs of every organization they shopped at/supported, you'd be eating pretty much at local co-ops or you'd have to be a farmer and grow your own stuff. My black roommate would never be able to shop ANYWHERE for clothes because of all the times he's been discriminated against for the color of his skin. This whole thing reeks of hypocrisy.

Semi-on-topic... on what basis can a city deny a business from moving in? Can a city legally block a strip club or adult store from moving in? What about a GLBT bookstore?

Fallacy of grey, huh? Some people at any organization are racist, so there's no reason not to shop at the Ku Klux Klothing store?

All of a sudden eating CFA is a fucking badge of honor for bigots.
While I've had my issues with mayor Menino, this is pretty awesome of him
It's actually not really a good thing, if he actually intends to use his position to keep them out of the city based on their beliefs. For every one northeastern mayor banning CFA, there's a dozen southern ones who will ban pro-gay groups in return.
The letter doesn't say anything about banning them from Boston, just that he hopes they don't locate there and that they don't belong there.
"Mumbles" Menino, as his detractors call him, is a very "moral legislation" politician. Ex: He is one of those infamous mayors that pushed the stupidly pointless large(>16 oz) soft drink bans on his city. "For the public good." (Right now it only applies to city property, but he is looking for a blanket ban along the lines of Cambridge)
It would not surprise me if he actually does use his position to force Chik-Fil-A to stay out of Boston because of the company's beliefs. "We don't tolerate intolerance!"
That reminds me; wasn't there a mayor that banned all use of table salt in the city or something? New York maybe?

Lots of cities do everything in their power to stop Wal-Marts from moving in.
Semi-on-topic... on what basis can a city deny a business from moving in? Can a city legally block a strip club or adult store from moving in? What about a GLBT bookstore?
The city can block a strip club or adult store from moving in by creating zoning permits that make it virtually impossible to build the business. Restrictions saying the building must be X amount of feet from Y type of property (such as a school, or residential houses, or even "Places a child may be present") can stop the business from being built. They can also restrict what happens inside the business, such as saying the women can't be topless and must have a bikini on at all times as another method to stop the business from being able to operate.
However, I don't think a city has the authority to outright ban a certain business from operating within it's boundaries.

You do realize that the issue of child labor in the third world isn't that cut and dry right?
This issue on the other hand is cut and dry (and for the record I don't support wal-mart lobbying congress on repealing the death tax, but that's different than hate speech)

Yes to the strip club or adult store. Maybe to the bookstore.
The strip club and adult store are easy, many cities require any business like that to be a set distance away from any residence, school, church, and sometimes other types of buildings. Thing is, like "drug free school zones" those regulations usually turn a populated area into a huge clusterfuck of overlapping zones with very few if any viable locations. My city actually donated six square feet of public land to a church to close one of the few gaps where a strip club could actually operate inside the city.
The GLBT bookstore becomes more about wording of the zoning laws. Even if it doesn't sell pornography, because its merchandise is tailored for clientele based on sexual preference, it could meet broader definitions of adult bookstore and run into the same zoning limitations I just described. And there's all kinds of other ways that zoning laws can be messed with that could stop them from opening. I think I mentioned Frankenmouth last page for some reason - they have architectural style requirements (anything in the business district has to look like a storybook Bavarian village), and they can deny any business a permit just if somebody on the council claims to have reason to believe they won't meet the architectural requirements. There was a time when they used that just to stop people with Irish surnames from opening businesses, and they've used it to stop pretty much every interested party from Wal Mart to Burger King from building too close to Main Street.
Tweaking zoning laws is a pretty popular way to stop a business from opening. Most of the time you can't use them to get one out once it's there, but using them to stop a company from opening at all is pretty common. I mentioned the land transfer to close the church gap so a strip club couldn't open in Saginaw, they also adjusted the definition of adult entertainment twice, broadening it to stop a bikini bar from opening, and then narrowing it to keep a Hooters from closing.

Hey if you're okay with the guy who made those fries using your money to help restrict people's rights, then those are your values.
Pretty telling how many people value eating specific kinds of deep fried potatoes and chicken above equality of civil rights. I'm pretty comfortable with saying fuck you back to those people.
