I have a theory for you.....

I've been reading and following this Chick-fil-A anti gay story a bit. And so I start to thinking....

How do we know this isn't just a PR stunt?

Like the Pres of Chick-fil-A has a secret meeting with top leaders of the LGBT Community. It's like this Chick-fil-A Pres will bash them in a press interview. This will appeal to all the right wingers who frequent there resturants. And add more loyal customers who are anti gay.

Then the LGBT Community leaders will have there time in the lime light to rally the left wingers and to raise up all there issues and agenda to the masses.

So CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S A WIN WIN??? They both get air time that would have cost them millions otherwise. They both rally there fan bases of right wing and left wing to support them. While winning tons of new fans.

Remember the Hegelian Dialectic. They create the problem first to cause panic among people, then introduce the solution. But in this case it's just that both of the groups get millions of dollars worth of free air time on the news wire.

IT'S A HOAX, CAN'T YOU CLEARLY SEE THAT? It's a fraud. A total and complete Stallinistic soviet show trial. The wool is being pulled over everyone eyes here. After work they all go to Chick-fil-A and stuff there faces together and who knows what else.

What a scam..... So what do you think???

Yea thats whats going on...

Chick-fil-a got called out on this, they didn't go around bragging they where donating this money.

When asked they answered honestly, and they got jumped all over from every media outlet...

chick fil a has always been a "christian" company, doing things like not opening on Sunday, this wasn't a new stance, or a new marketing campaign.

Oh No another conspiracy!

How smart they were to know exactly what would happen, they are probably psychic too!

I agree. I have considered this as a possibility. Obviously, it's impossible to say for sure but I have been getting that familiar fishy smell swirling all around this thing. You know? Sometimes these things just seem a little too perfect for the times. A little too pat. Not enough of anything to put your finger on. Just enough for anyone who wants to deny there's anything fishy about it to do so.

If you wanted to script a flawless bit of propaganda, that's exactly the kind of light touch you'd want. Most people won't suspect a thing and the "tin foil hatters" will all be ridiculed.

excuse my smart a$$ non-contributive comment but Chik-Fil-A sandwiches taste the same whether the chickens are gay or not......still fries up yummy.

but I think youre right on in the collusion betwen LGBT and Chick .....use the sensationalist news as an advertising method and save Millions!!!!

And this is where a lot of Christians chime in with: "It's Satan!" Division that is profitable is his name in this game. lol

Uh... right. Because nobody has ever just done something that someone else was opposed to. Without a grand conspiracy. Boy, wouldn't that be a great world to live in? Actually, in the long run, no it wouldn't.

A fast food company being highly conservative and offending people who don't meet their standards is hardly what I would consider a great starting point for a big conspiracy theory.

And I doubt this is going to have that good of an outcome for this company in the long run. At least I hope I'm not giving the American public too much credit. Either way, it definitely is far from sure to only be a good thing for them.

Ha! Wouldn't gay chickens put them out of business?
I do believe that sums up the Christians support of this issue.

I have entertained the thought that this was a promotion for their company, as their sales roared up.

I doubt it, though, as they are a "Christian" company that donates money to gay-hate groups (organizations that want to take criminal action against gays). I support, and will fight for, their right to free speech, but can't support them. I am also a supporter of gay-rights (and I am a Christian) but think the entire gay debate is ridiculous.

Chik-Fil-A started in a town a few miles from where I live and I've had a couple of friends who worked for them at the corporate level. The plain truth is that the Cathys' are just very devoutly religious people. They don't work Sundays not do they suffer any of their employees to.

This entire thing is simply a case of conflicting personal values becoming a public issue. If somebody wants to believe that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman, then they have that right. If they want to believe otherwise? Then they have that right as well.

I don't see any collusion or even the potential for such. A guy stated an opinion, people reacted. It happens. And it's is a positive thing because it opens dialogue and allows us all to air and share our thoughts and beliefs and to debate openly.

Interesting theory, S&F. Free air time on every media outlet in the world.

Anyone who knew how the GOP works these days would know that any sort of statement like the one he made would get the far right all fired up.
