(Mansfield, Ohio) It
was not too long-ago that Christians and conservatives were eager t ee a Chick-fil-A
(CFA) franchise come to town. CFA has been bringing their red mobile food truck to Mansfield weekly for several months. They are in Mansfield from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays. Christians and conservatives thought
the third leading fast food restaurant chain in the nation was committed to traditional
and biblical values and principles. They believed that the stand Dan Cathy
made in 2012 in the face of opposition from the LGBT mafia regarding same sex “marriage”
was solid.
With recent revelations,
however, Chick-fil-A, at least on the corporate leadership level, was not who
they once were or who they appeared to be all these years. Several weeks ago, Chick-fil-A
announced that they would discontinue
supporting such stalwart charities as the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home. Apparently,
they reached the end of their pledge commitment to those organizations and
would not renew their commitment.
CFA publicly declared a new
direction regarding its giving. It turns out that they now and have
been supporting pro-abortion organizations such as the YWCA and the Pace Center
for Girls, the pro-LGBT Covenant House International and even the controversial
and disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). They did this to placate the
powers that control such leftist strongholds as the nation of Canada and some
major leftist-controlled cities and airports such as San Antonio, Texas where
they were prohibited from entering because of the past declarations of support
for traditional marriage. Their position must have changed with the combination
of their desire to further expand their market presence, placating the LGBT advocates
and allies, and the horrendous Obergefell v Hodges Supreme Court decision approving
and “legalizing” same sex “marriage.”
I think many people still do not know that Chick-fil-A has
changed its corporate giving philosophy and its stand for righteousness when it
comes to its charitable giving. For a supposedly Christian organization to
deliberately turn its back on charities who have taken a principled position on
critical social issues and support organizations that adhere to anti-biblical,
immoral positions, is condemnable. They have the right to manage their organization
anyway that they choose. However, the public should also have the right to know
where the business stands and make an informed decisions as to whether to continue
to support that organization with its dollars knowing that some of its profits
will go to anti-Christian and God-dishonoring purposes.
Therefore, I decided this Friday that I would begin to
protest Chick-fil-A’s presence in Mansfield on Fridays. I would encourage other
likeminded citizens to do the same. I plan to be there at the large parking lot
entrance (near the northeast corner of Millsboro and Lexington-Springmill) next Friday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm and maybe until CFA gets the message. Join me if you
think the same way and have the same concerns.
